J. Jolliff vs F. Kareta, G1
It very interesting to see on this example how things turn around n just one move. White last move was 18-15. Instead, simple 18-14* trade should give them medium level advantage rasing significantly pressure on red position thru unbind center.
18-15 move white actually trapped their pieces and 1-6* with following 4-8* in position on diagram should win for red. Instead, red played losing 10-14? giving white pieces freedom and mobility. After 15-11 (22-18 also shoul;d win) I was unable to find a scientific draw for red.

R. King vs S. Scarpetta, G1
See position on diagram #1. The Kingsrow program opening book recommends here 7-11 as best. It maybe true for program, but it seems a little bit unsafe in my eyes as human, because it gives white a good scope and allow some uncomfortable, unceratin attacks with somehow critical defenses for red.
"The human way" 8-12 as Ron played in position on diagram #1 looks more natural to me and I would probably do the same thing.
After 8-12, 29-25 Ron immediately played losing move 12-16 ??. Instead, 9-13 was correct. What makes the difference ?
1) 12-16 gave white an extra tempo to develop 21-17, 25-21
2) After 21-17, 9-13, 25-21,6-9, 27-24, 20x27, 31x15 as played in game, red can't play 1-6 because of 14-10 WW.
Continue from diagram #1: 8-12, 29-25, 9-13, 21-17 ... and we reached position on diagram #2. I really don't know what scared Ron in this position when he calculated things (did he ?) but the fact is that red has here 3 (!) drawn paths:
1) 6-9, 27-24 (or 25-21, 20-24, 27x20, 1-6 Even), 20x27, 31x15, 1-6 Even
2) 7-10, 14x7, 3x10, 17-14, 19x17, 25-21, 19-23* (2-7 loses) Draw
3) 20-24, 27x20, 6-10 etc Draw

V. Shafir vs U. Hydyrov, G1
See position on diagram #1 - fine midgame masterpiece. 31-27 here should won the game. With this move white are setting several treatments (25-22, 27-24, 17-13) and red can't avoid all of them. Instead 31-27 white played 25-22 allow red "one second escape" by 11-16 31-27, 6-9* Draw
Red also didn't play it right. Anyway ... continue from diagram #1:
... 25-22 (31-27 WW) 13. 04-08 (11-16 Draw) 17-13 (31-27 WW) 14. 19-24 (8-12 Draw) 28x19 15. 15x24 26-23 16. 11-15 23-19 17. 14-18 22-17 18. 18-23 17-14 19. 10x17 19x10 20. 06x15 21x14 21. 08-12 14-10 (why not 32-28 trap ?) 22. 12-16 10-07 23. 16-20 07-02 24. 24-27 31x24 25. 20x27 02-07 26. 27-31 07-10 27. 15-19 13-09 28. 19-24 ... and they reached position on diagram #2.
9-6? - important wasting time ! 10-15 still kept win in hands not allowing red to crown 2 Kings as happened in the game.

S. Thrane vs C. Freeman, G1
Very interesting game where most intrigue things happened at the ending phase of game. I would strongly recommend you to play this attractive game on your own and discover all beauties !
In position on diagram #1 red missed a win 13-9, 32-28, 9-5* Instead, they played 22-26 allow white to break a bridge and escape: 32-28, 26-31, 10-6, 1x10, 20-16, 12x19, 24x6. When I get to this point I decided that unevenful draw is coming and was ready to stop my investigation, but then I looked at result the game and saw that white won it !
I ran several more moves and get into position on diagram #2. Here red played 17-14 ?? and lost after 6-10* with followng 7-11.
==========================================================
It is 1:40 AM here and I will continue under the same post later.
Coming next ... Igor Martinov in Rd.6, G1 get into losing position with Matteo Bernini the same way (18-22?) I lost it to Michele Borgetti in WCM 2011 ! However details were different. Stay on for late news.
