Round six openings
Kasim-Leko
Leko is playing again his pet line and with move order 16...g6 instead of 16...Kh8 In the game Anand-Leko I thought that probably this was some kind on mouse slip. It was not because against Kasim he played today 16...g6 again. Why, all other experts like Radjabov play 16...Kh8 first. Leko came out with improvement 18...Bd7 but after obvious move 19.Qe2 he made his next move after conciderable thought. If you are not in best shape everything seems against you even your own pet lines. Kasim is better and Leko is going to suffer again.
Anand-Svidler
Anand had problems before with Marshall attack as white. In his match game against Khalifman in New Delhi 2000 he was lost but somehow managed to save the game. Svidler is also from Saint-Petersburgh like Khalif-they now the lines well.
Adams-Moro
Strange game, I know that 8.O-O is not the best move order because Black can play 8...Bd7 and after 9.Nb3 Na5 the pawn is still on f2 and white can not play e4-e5. Moro did not use this and played Bd7 only after short castle, now the theory suggests 10.Nb3 with big plus for White. Adams the lazy guy probably new this but did not know the exact lines most likely. In the game after some tactics the position is very unclear.
Polgar-Topalov
We play endgame with a weaker player. Should be a draw-difficult to realize how White can lose this endgame.
