Jul-20-05		rexeterna: Ouch for Magnus...

Jul-20-05		percyblakeney: He maybe went wrong with 20. Ng4 instead of Rxe3, and he surely went wrong with 21. fxe3.

Jul-20-05		DP12: He played like a child! But, seriously, this game was really one sided.

Jul-20-05		AdrianP: Volokitin played this very well - Ra8 to Rb8 to Rb4 was extremely accurate defence, together with Kh7 and f5.

Jul-23-05		Andrew Chapman: What happens after 22.e5xf6? Possibly black plays Qg3+ and c5 threatening Bb7.

Jul-23-05		Montreal1666: <Andrew Chapman:> Yes. Magnus missed 21)...f5. He would have been ok with 21)Rxe3

Jul-23-05		csmath: Not impressed by Volokitin either but this is a typical Carlsen blowout. He will need to start to play more seriously to improve into an elite player. This kind of chess won't work against cool-headed and experienced players.

Sep-04-05		CloudDragon: Both these players are very impressive. In this game black defended well.
