Schwarzman,A. - Georgiev,A. 1-1 2009.06.08
The third game of the match for the world title was strictly positional. None of the players was able to get even the slightest bit of advantage.

The dutch GMI Scholma made some interesting remarks during the live chat: " 23.37-31 26x37 24.42x31 4-10 25.47-42 19-23 26.28x19 14x23 27.44-39 10-14 28.42-37 12-17(!) (Now white cannot play 29.31-26? because of 14-20 30.25x14 3-9 31.14x12 17x8 32.26x17 11x44 33.49x40 W+1 After ≡ 29.45-40 8-12! 30.31-26? 17-22! 31.26x17 11x44 or ≡ 30.35-30? 18-22 31.27x20 15x42 are forbidden, while after ≡ 30.49-44 21-26 31.27-21 16x27 32.32x21 23-28 white has to search a draw) ≡ 29.35-30 17-22 30.45-40 11-17 31.49-44 21-26 (not ≡ 8-12? or ≡ 3-9? 32.31-26 22x33 33.39x10 15x4 34.30-24 29x20 35.25x23) ≡ 32.39-33 (after ≡ 32.27-21 16x27 33.32x12 8x17 white cannot attack 34.39-33? 6-11 35.33x24 23-29 36.24x33 22-27 37.31x22 17x50) ≡ 17-21 33.33x24 8-12 34.38-33(!) 3-9 ( ≡ 23-28? 35.32x23 18x49 36.27x20 and the black king wil be captured; ≡ 3-8(?) 35.32-28! 21x41 36.28x10 26x37 37.36x47 15x4 38.25-20 and black is in danger; ≡ 23-29? 35.33-28! 22x33 36.43-39 29x20 37.39x28 advantage for white) ≡ 35.40-35 23-28 36.32x23 18x40 37.27x7 6-11 38.35x44 11x2 with interesting (draw) position. It's understandible that Schwarzman avoided this kind of dangerous complications."
≡ 23.44-39 29-33 24.38x29 26-31 25.37x17 11x24 26.36-31 4-9 27.43-38
12-17! The white position is a bit more flexible than the black one. And so Georgiev has no interest in closing the position with ≡ 19-23 28.31-26 14-19 29.38-33 15-20 30.25x14 19x10 31.33-28 13-19. Instead he initiates an attack through the center. Although he will have realized that it's not nearly enough to worry the world champion.
≡ 28.47-41 18-22 29.27x18 13x22 30.41-36 6-11 31.42-37 8-13 32.48-42 22-28 33.32x23 19x28 34.38-32
The black position is too well-developed, so Schwarzman doesn't even bother to surround the attacking piece on 28. After the next exchange the positions are completely neutralized, and so a draw is unavoidable.
16-21 35.32x23 21-27 36.31x22 17x19 37.37-32 19-23 38.49-43 13-18 39.42-38 11-17 40.32-28 23x32 41.38x27
