| Mar-31-08 | | ruelas007: really a weird game, and i really donīt think Magnus had 2733 elo points in 2000 or he did? |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Carlsen rolls over his opponent so easily, it almost looks like 8.Qd2 (instead of h3) is virtually the losing move. 9.dxe5 might have been an improvement on d5. |
|
| Mar-31-08 | | DeltaHawk: somebody tell me why kaiser resigned. |
|
| Mar-31-08 | | vaskokibika: 37.fg3 Ke3 |
|
| Mar-31-08 | | olav dalkeith: 37: fxg3 Ne3 and a rook goes |
|
| Mar-31-08 | | Alphastar: I'd have resigned after move 28. C'mon, black has a huge pawn center and two pieces for a rook to boot. Even a patzer could win that easily. |

 | | alexmagnus: The game was played in 2000, when I didn't even know about Carlsen. The game is to be found in the "Wonderboy" book (2nd or 3rd game in the book). Comment in the book after 20 moves: "It's hard to imagine a better way of center control" :) As for ratings, Kaiser was, if I remember correctly, 2065, Carlsen had no Elo (he got his first Elo in April 2001). |

 | | RandomVisitor: 23.f4 and white is back in the game.
25.c3 is perhaps white's last chance at counterplay.
15.Ne6 and black has problems.
17.f3 challenges black's center.
9.dxe5 was better.

 | | Jimfromprovidence: The Kaiser could have been played cautiously and retreated his knight with 22 Na3, below, instead of leaving it en prise and playing 22 Nd5.

 | | kevin86: Mr. Kaiser spent a great deal of time hunting black's rook with his minor pieces;it was only a short time later that black's counter-attack came and succeeded. |
|
| Mar-31-08 | | Riverbeast: Yummy yummy Kaiser rolls |
|
| Mar-31-08 | | mworld: wow the way the Carlsen advances his pieces so methodically amazes me. |
|
| Mar-31-08 | | Xaurus: This is a really nice game from a 10-year-old, unrated Carlsen :-) |

How does 23.f4 put white back in the game?
After Qe8 the e pawn looks unstoppable (even if it means giving up the exchange) |

After 23.f4 Qe8 24.Nbc7 Qf7 25.Qa5 Nc6 26.Qxc5 d3 27.Rac8 28.Qb6 Nd8 white has a playable game. |

 | | notyetagm: Position after 19 ... d5-d4
click for larger viewWow, I do not remember the last time I saw Black playing the "Four Pawns Attack" variation of the Pirc Defense. :-) |
|
| Nov-06-08 | | freeman8201: Did Carlsen know he played the Pirc? Maybe he thought the position was a King's Indian and still played e5. I only see 5 games in chessgames Database |
|
| Oct-14-10 | | GRANTZIERER: Olav delkieth: Another line that I think is winning is 37.) fxg3+ fxg3 38.)Qxg3+!! Kxg3 39.)Be5+ and winning. |

 | | Sastre: 37...fxg3 is illegal <GRANTZIERER>. Did you mean another move instead? |

after 17...d5 white lost the initiative |

A great performance for a ten years chessplayer
Ten years after Carlsen is number one with 2814 |
|
| Feb-12-11 | | Penguincw: I think this is Carlsen's first sacrifice. |
|
| Dec-19-11 | | Dionysius1: I like 7...h3 tempting white to run his bsb out of squares. Once it goes (8...ng4) black's game seems v comfortable |
