After 17 moves the position about = and also is nicely closed for Ehlvest. Ehlvest also has a lot more time left on his clock. He should be happy right now.

Doesn't that look like a big pawn on b7 that Rybka has got?

Ehlvest has sacced a pawn to turn the attacking opportunities in his favour (supposedly). :wink:

I think he was alluding to the fact that the b7 bishop was biting on granite.

If I could remember how to post diagrams I would do so, but of course those interested could easily watch the game live as explained.

OK, I see what he means ... except the b7 bishop is pretty nice, putting good presure on the center.
