 | | twinlark: A shame this beautiful game was marred by all those errors in the last 10 moves or so. |
|
| Dec-06-07 | | Landzhev: Wow! The draw was so close but... Blunders, blunders. Hope he gets his act together tomorrow. |
|

 | | acirce: Okay. Of course it's not easy to play these positions in time trouble - but still an unsatisfying finish to a good game. Very happy that Carlsen did win in the end. |
|
| Dec-06-07 | | MuradJ: Hurrra! Carlsen woooon!!! Good game by both players! Tomorrow will be another battle of cyborgs. |
|
| Dec-06-07 | | HOTDOG: 56...Kf5? and then 59...Kf4? the two decisive mistakes |
|
Dec-06-07
 | | Eyal: According to tablebases, Carlsen missed a win twice (with 58.Bd5 and then 59.Bg2), but Cheparinov returned the favor, missing a draw with 58...Kf4/e4 and then 59...Ke4. |
|
| Dec-06-07 | | 2ndNature: Congratulations to Carlses - maybe he blundered at some stage but they played on even terms and blunders in the endgames in time trouble are just part of the game. Well done. |

 | | chancho: It was great stuff that turned to hilarity at the end, but it was entertaining. |

| Dec-06-07 | | narenillo: <blunders in the endgames in time trouble are just part of the game> I agree. If you've ever played under time pressure, you'll understand. |
|
| Dec-06-07 | | Atkins: <Joshka: What happened in Kamsky/Pono??> It was a draw. Same number of pawns and symetrical structure + Queens |
|
| Dec-06-07 | | juandadamo: Bravo for Carlsen! it was a tough game for both

 | | tamar: Both players showed great insight into this endgame, but messed up the details. Some of it can be chalked up to time control, but I think both players
would suffer against Kramnik in an endgame. |
|
| Dec-06-07 | | badest: It doesn't even have to be someone with Kramnik's skills. There are quite a few experienced GMs that would punish endgames like that (Leko, Gelfand and even Topa). |
|
Dec-06-07
| | Eyal: Position after 59.Kb3?:
click for larger viewHere was Black's last chance to draw, by 59...Ke4! instead of Kf4 - since it gains a crucial tempo for bringing the king to d3 (in case White plays 60.Bg2+ to prevent Kf3). But when you have only a few seconds on the clock, it is not so easy to see this. |
|

| | Peligroso Patzer: With regard to comparisons to other GMs who would have played this endgame better, the truth is that no one can play a complicated endgame accurately at 30 sec./move. |
|
| Dec-06-07 | | cotdt: <Peligroso Patzer: With regard to comparisons to other GMs who would have played this endgame better, the truth is that no one can play a complicated endgame accurately at 30 sec./move.> I've seen Anand do it in rapids and blitz. |
