May-13-08		component: One of the only French Defense's from Magnus. Simon Agdestein said he likes to have active pieces. Pretty cool.

Aug-22-08		notyetagm: White to play: 29 ? click for larger view Here White played the unbelievably bad move 29 b2-b1??. Position after 29 b2-b1?? click for larger view Now White has two <LOOSE> pieces, the <UNDEFENDED> White b1-rook and the one attacker,one defender <LOOSE> White f4-bishop. Two <LOOSE> pieces. Two weaknesses. So Carlsen (Black) simply played 29 ... e7-e4!, <FORKING> the two <LOOSE> White pieces and White was forced to resign. Position after 29 ... e7-e4! <queen fork> 0-1 click for larger view
