| Jan-17-09 | | WhiteRook48: wow, and white sacs all minor pieces for checkmate! |
|
| Feb-01-09 | | WhiteRook48: funny thing that. Dennis spelled backwards is sinned. |
|
| May-02-09 | | PinnedPiece: At move 25.? It's not obvious how white should proceed. It almost seems like the attack has run out of steam. And yet Carlsen finds a forcing continuation that can have only one result. He *IS* good with the Queen!

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: If you intend to give Rook odds to the likes of Carlsen, you might want to play with the White pieces instead of Black. |
|
| Jul-24-13 | | Moszkowski012273: Black had several chances near the end to draw, but missed them all. |

| Jul-24-13 | | eaglewing: How about 24... b6 with the idea Bc8-a6-d3?
24. Ne4 b6 25. Qe5+ Kg8 26. Ng5 Bxg5 27. Qxg5 Ba6 (Kg7 is not forced, losing the g6 with Queen exchange is fine and Qh6 is countered with Bd3) 28. Rg3 Bd3 29. Rxh3 Qf8 30. Qe5/h4 Qg7. Any improvements for White?
Remark: The line is not checked by silicone! |

| Jul-24-13 | | kevin86: Dennis the menaced?It turned out to be Magnus-ide. |
|
| Jul-24-13 | | JimmyRockHound: FSR - I like it. Dennis and Edna sinned. |
|
| Jul-24-13 | | JimmyRockHound: tacticsjokerxxx: This game was played at my club!
Excellent. When did people first realize that Carlssen was a genius? |
|
| Jul-24-13 | | JimmyRockHound: A thing of beauty. |
|
| Jul-24-13 | | Erlend: A brilliant game by the 12 year old norwegian! |

| Oct-15-14 | | Eduardo Bermudez: Pretty good game for Carlsen, by the way I also beat Dennis Rylander: http://www.365chess.com/view_game.p... |
|
| Dec-09-14 | | MarkFinan: I wish Carlsen would still play like this. What a classy, tactical and well thought out checkmate.... Great game. And I once did well in GTM on this game. |

 | | alexmagnus: < I wish Carlsen would still play like this.> Well, if his opponents suddenly fall to Rylander's level :D |
|
| Dec-09-14 | | MarkFinan: You know what I mean. I just don't see *great* tactical games anymore, especially in the top tournaments from the top players. The only player I see nowadays who really does that is Nakamura, but he does always lose, lol. I'm for anything that makes chess more exciting. |

| | alexmagnus: <I just don't see *great* tactical games anymore> Because at the top level people a good enough to see the great tactics in advance and prevent it. I'm sure there are a lot of tactical ideas behind the moves in top level games, we just never get to see them because the opponents don't let us see them. |
|
| Dec-11-14 | | Lossmaster: Exactly. As true as jazz is the notes you don't play, chess is the moves you don't play. |

| Mar-24-15 | | mikealando: Carlsen was 12 years old (June 2003) |

 | | Richard Taylor: I saw that Qd4 idea on YouTube via KingCrusher's video, and found Bh6 but I think you have to be sitting at a real board...as literally, I have bifocals and it is tiring looking at a screen. That said, I certainly didn't see the total winning method. Although Black's B sitting on c8 and R on a8... A great and beautiful combination / attacking game (esp. by a 12 year old) and those are good YouTubes by <kingscrusher> (Thanks KC) I saw Seirawan with Carlsen analyzing something. I don't know why but his whole manner etc I find irritating. |
|
| Jun-10-15 | | ToTheDeath: Great attack. The e6 pawn was a monster, cutting the board in two and stifling black's pieces. In pure attacking terms it was worth almost as much as a rook. |

According to the engine (Komodo 13) Black stands better in this position. He played 15...g5?, but the engine suggests that Black should have played 15...b6! (computer evaluation -1.53). A likely continuation could have been 15...b6! 16.c6 Ba6 17.Re1 Nd3 18.Re4 Bxc3 19. bxc3 Qxd5 whereupon Black would have had a clear advantage (Diagram):

Instead of rushing to capture the Bishop at h3, Black could have taken advantage of the fact that White's Queen is unprotected. Therefore 17...Bxe6!? was a move worthy of consideration, though it would lead to an unclear game after 18.Bh6! Bxh6 19.Qxe5 Bd7 20.Bxg4 Bg7! 21.Qg3 Bxg4 22.Qxg4 Kh8 23.Rg1 Rg8 24.Qxf3 Qd7 25.Qd3 Raf8, which is about level, White's extra pawn being of little significance. (Diagram):

| Oct-28-23 | | Gaito: At the age of twelve Magnus Carlsen had a FIDE rating of 2250, and just a few months after this game was played he became an International Master. This information can be found in the following link: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-... On the other hand, his opponent Dennis Rylander was 34 years old at the time of this game. His current rating (October 2023) is 2311 and he holds the title of FIDE Master. I haven't been able to find out what his rating was ten years ago, but a good guess is that it would be about the same rating he holds today. As a comparison, when Capablanca beat Juan Corzo in a match for the Championship of Cuba in 1901, the latter was 28 years old, and Capa was 12 years old. It is hard to say who was objectively stronger at the age of 12: Magnus or Capa, but I should venture to say that there might be a few points of similarity: both were relatively weak a far as the opening is concerned, and both were very strong in the endgame and the middle game. In this game Magnus apparently made a few inaccuracies in the opening (11.gxf4?; 14.c5?) but his conduct of the middle game was beyond all praise. |
