| notyetagm: 42 ...  f4!?!? is a swindle attempt worthy of the great Frank Marshall. Bareev tricks Magnus into playing the queen fork 43  f8+?? instead of the winning 43 f7!. Brilliant move by Bareev.Only after he had played 43 f8+?? did Magnus realize that 44 x runs into 44 ...  a2+ and then the royal fork 45 ...  d5+ and 46 ... x after the White king moves to the b4- or b6-squares to escape the rook check. |

| Akavall: I feel bad for Magnus, he played really well. I guess he was in bad time-trouble, not to see this trap. |

| suenteus po 147: Bareev is my new hero for the Russian Super-Final. This was an excellent game, with great play from Carlsen, but sneaky swindles from Bareev :) |

| notyetagm: <Akavall> The ICC clock shows 29 seconds when Magnus fell for the swindle, compared to 3:27 for Bareev. But regardless, this was <one hell of a swindle> by Bareev! |

| LaFaro: It is weird to see a game where a top player like Bareev is thoroughly outplayed from a position where he after the opening seems to be slightly better. What a kid... |

| Mateo: 29... Kc8? gave to the wonderkid very good winning prospects. Instead 29... Ke6 is better. If 30. Qb7 Be3 and 31... Rh4. |

| Akavall: <notyetagm> Thanks, definitly have to give credit to Bareev to the trap. He probably also had to act right at the board so Magnus would fall for it. |

| ahmadov: I was considering this game for my collection of blundered games, but I do not think that Qf8 is just a blunder. To me, this is a move played in desparate, as Black still wins with Bc7 and Ra2 if White plays anything else. Or am I missing anything? |

| Prugno: <ahmadov> Not quite, in fact the winning move is 43. Qf7! exactly because after 43... Bc7+ 44. Ka6 Ra2+ White can sacrifice the Queen on a2 and then promote his pawn. It would have been a fitting conclusion to a thrilling game. With the king lured to b7 by the premature check on f8 this is obviously no longer possible. |

| ahmadov: <Prugno> Quite right, I missed that one. I thought about Queen sactifice like 43.Qxc3 followed by 43...Bd2 but then Black rook has a chance to take the advancing pawn. |
