Biel 2007 - Round 6

Radjabov and Polgar win, Motylev three loses in a row

Teimour Radjabov enlisted his first win and Boris Avrukh suffered first defeat after extremely complicated middlegame in Sicilian Scheveningen. Avrukh eventually forgot about the King's safety and resigned after Radjabov offered devastating Rook sacrifice. Alexander Motylev lost his third consecutive game, this time by hands of Judit Polgar. 29...e5! proved to be decisive breach. Other three games were drawn, not without fire - use the replay form bellow for review.
