Adams missed the chance to win the exchange 
Re: World Cup Baku 10 September to 4 October 2015
Wow, if the live moves are to be believed Adams just missed winning a piece as well.

If the clock times are right, then Dominguez very low on time

Nepomniachtchi and Tomashevsky both have to win with white in the next game.

Nepo just conjured a loss out of nothing

Nakamura must have been worse there before setting that devilish trap which Nepo walked into face first.

Ouch. I believe it too, because it wasn't all that obvious: 28 Bxf5 Bxf5 29. Qxf5, which wins the piece, does look as though it can be answered profitaby by 29...Qxg3. But after 30 Qf6, Black's queen cannot move to a square which stops Bh6 and Qg7 mate.benedgell wrote:Wow, if the live moves are to be believed Adams just missed winning a piece as well.
Very missable in a speed game. Adams did get well to get the position in the first place. Finally the match is comng alive, we hope.

I do love the chess24 thermometer, particularly in a fast game where it tends to rise and fall all the time.

Pity, another draw now, looks like Mickey might be last match to finish again, let's hope it is another success

Apparently the exchange down is a winning advantage.
