The playing venue
The ACP Golden Classic, with its unusual time control, and above all, resurrection of adjournments has at the very least provided players and spectators with a fun exercise in analysis. In today’s game, two out of the three games ended adjourned, and are only to be resumed on July 21st. As modern games go, the games were broadcast live, which means that everyone has a chance to weigh in, study, and consult, at the same time as the players, before resumption. We present you here the two games for your own analysis.
Ivanchuk arrives in his unique manner
Krishnan Sasikiran vs. Gata Kamsky seems unlikely to resume as not only are the computers clear about the American’s win.

Notice how both players stare into space to analyze, rather than look at the board
Jobava Baadur vs Le Quang Liem is another story though. The engines do favor the young Vietnamese player, but there appears to be plenty of room to wiggle. What do you think?
