Hello,
	There is a new post on The Chess Mind.  You can read it at:

http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1214670371.shtml

It begins:

	Four draws today, but they weren't too terrible.
	The first game to finish (barely) was
	Mamedyarov-Leko, a 4.f3 Nimzo-Indian. Mamedyarov
	devised a new idea with 12.Ne2, surrendering the
	extra, forward, doubled c-pawn in order to give
	Black a weak c-pawn which he can then win. That's
	just what happened, but then Leko had the last
	anti-c-pawn laugh. Given a choice between forcing
	perpetual, returning the extra pawn by losing his
	remaining c-pawn or keeping the pawn but giving
	Leko's rooks free reign he chose door #1, and the
	game ended on move 24....
