Mar-06-08		Ragh: Magnus has good chances here.

Mar-06-08		ajile: Thx cg.com

Mar-06-08		Marmot PFL: That knight has managed to survive on c2 for 10 moves so far.

Mar-06-08		plang: Thanks

Mar-06-08		Open Defence: thanks cg.com

Mar-06-08		whiteshark: What's up ?

Mar-06-08		Domdaniel: Magnus doing well ... ikke overraskelse.

Mar-06-08		radu stancu: Woohoo, thanks <chessgames>! This looks really interesting. Anyone know when it deviated from "theory"?

Mar-06-08		chancho: <chessgame dudes> We are not worthy!

Mar-06-08		Eyal: A very clever exchange sac by Carlsen led to an almost complete paralysis of White's game.

Mar-06-08		Wild Bill: Thank you, CG.

Mar-06-08		chancho: This looks really good for Carlsen, no?

Mar-06-08		tamar: Last move 27...b5 giving Aronian pause. 28 Qxb5 Rc4 is a mousetrap theme, shutting the queen out from protection of e2.

Mar-06-08		Eyal: <Anyone know when it deviated from "theory"?> Apparently as early as 9...Bxd5. 9...Nxd5 was tried in Karjakin vs F Bindrich, 2007, not very successfully...

Mar-06-08		Wild Bill: What kept you, outplayer?

Mar-06-08		Domdaniel: There's a touch of the <Nimzo-Kasparov-esque Immortal Zugzwang Octopus> about this ...

Mar-06-08		chancho: <Wild Bill> If you only knew the power of the darkside... :-)

Mar-06-08		radu stancu: <outplayer: First!> Hehehe.

Mar-06-08		chancho: These two just agreed a draw! NOOOOO!

Mar-06-08		plang: 1/2 - 1/2 That didn't last long

Mar-06-08		keypusher: Right after it was made, I thought Carlsen's exchange sacrifice was total junk. Judging from the comments, a number of posters felt the same way.

Mar-06-08		ajile: Interesting game. Rc3 maybe?

Mar-06-08		Open Defence: < radu stancu > long time no see! Hi! :)

Mar-06-08		Wild Bill: <chancho: <These two just agreed a draw! NOOOOO!>> You're joking, aren't you. Has any one besides me done a space count? I think Black is better here.

Mar-06-08		ajile: Draw? Wow that sucks.
