 | | Kinghunt: A win, yes. An easy win, no. Aronian's technique will have to be practically perfect. I would still give him winning as more likely than a draw, but it's by no means an easy task to convert this position. |
 |
| May-05-11 | | jacqueslaumone: Can't White just move his K forward to support the c-pawn? Black's R can't get behind the pawn, making it pretty much unstoppable... |
|
| May-05-11 | | Pygeum Lycopene: What a fight Grischuk is putting up in this last game! ... as for Carlsen, maybe he either a) doesn't believe he is ready to defeat Anand in a match or b) doesn't want to be the guy who dethrones him. it does seem magnus likes Anand. (everything providing he got to the final) |
|
| May-05-11 | | gmgomes: Grischuk has played 65...Nc5 and without engines it seems to be drawish as black can sac the N for the c pawn and Qside pawns seems to provide enough counterplay. Correct? |
|
| May-05-11 | | jacqueslaumone: Wow, draw! Miracle escape by Grischuk. |
|
| May-05-11 | | jussu: Woooooow, applause for Grischuk! This looked totally hopeless around move 45. |
|
| May-05-11 | | tmc: amazing draw after ~7 hours! |
|
| May-05-11 | | fisayo123: Must be rustiness from Aronian.Incredible escape. |

 | | OneArmedScissor: < Hovik2009: it is a matter of technique, Aronian is winning simply, he has well coordinated pieces and too many advanced pawns to pressure black into passive play to blunder somewhere> look how wrong you are lol |
|
| May-05-11 | | IRONCASTLEVINAY: Great escape GRISCHUK |
|
| May-05-11 | | bronkenstein: Seems that young Chucky has beter prospects now, 2 whites out of 3 . |

 | | HeMateMe: Are there commentators on Chess dom or chess fm? |
|
| May-05-11 | | kia0708: oh please, Aronian, do better than this ... |
|
| May-05-11 | | yalie: is there a live link to the press conference? |
|
| May-05-11 | | vanytchouck: am i the only who find the "tournament standing" stupid ? These are matches ! |
|

| | Kinghunt: And people were picking Kramnik as one of the favorites. Just look at the table, he's dead last! |
|
| May-05-11 | | Ragh: Unbelievable! The 43 year-old Gelfand, the oldest of them all candidates, is leading the standings table. Who would have thought that he is going to go on to challenge Anand. |
|

 | | Check It Out: vantychouck, they are knockout matches with the winner advancing in the bracket, so I would think it still qualifies as a tournament, like the World Cup. |
|
| May-05-11 | | jussu: <Kinghunt> - Yeah! And, as always, Kramnik has drawn all his games. <Ragh> - Gelfand is not only leading but also unbeaten, now that is something! |
|
| May-05-11 | | kia0708: hahaha
jussu: <as always, Kramnik has drawn all his games> |
|
| May-05-11 | | firebyrd: The Chessbase express report of the first round is up http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.... Guess which player is the first one mentioned ... |

| | HeMateMe: I wonder where Aronian went wrong? By taking the a pawn, he lost good king position, and make the game more open for Grisch. He certainly did a nice job of liquidating pieces after the opening, to preserve his gambit pawn. |
|

 | | haydn20: According to Shipov, White still has winning chances after 69. Ne5 (instead of 69. Nc5). Has anyone looked at this? |
|
| May-05-11 | | James Bowman: I gotta say there had to be a win for Aronian I thought he would bring it home until Gris had the a pawn doubly attacked then I went nope he withstood draw, nice play Grischuck. Problem with preparing for an event such as this is that it usually revolves around opnening prep and I think we saw some endgame rust. 4 games anything can happen I think Magnus was correct this venue is just too short. |
