| Jul-21-08 | | Jesspatrick: White's Bishops have been demoted to security guards. The dark squared Bishop also has Blockade duty. I think we can expect 28...Qd5 29.b3 and Black's got the initiative. |
 |
| Jul-21-08 | | Jesspatrick: 28...g5 is a clockburner. Less than best, but good enough and presenting problems. |
|
Jul-21-08
 | | Ulhumbrus: 29 Nd2 attacks the N on f3 as well as the e4 pawn, but 30...Qd5 defends both |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | kamalakanta: I remember Anand saying that, when he looked at the chessboard, the pieces seemed to become alive...Carlsen has that gift. He can make something out of nothing, it seems! He makes dull positions interesting, old openings modern, he really wakes up a storm! Do we see a future World Champion here? |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | chezzy: White has still chances to win. Black has weak pawns on f3 and c5. |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | Akuni: <White has still chances to win. Black has weak pawns on f3 and c5.> Yes, but Black has Carlsen. |
|
Jul-21-08
| | Ulhumbrus: On 30...hxg5 31 Bxg5 Qd4+ forks the White K and e5 pawn |
|
Jul-21-08
 | | acirce: At least in practical terms Black is definitely better. Add Alekseev's time pressure and I believe Carlsen has pretty good chances. |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | Atking: <kamalakanta> I remenber Anand analysing a position with the British GM Speelman, at Manilla Ol, the pieces were dancing on the board. |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | Jesspatrick: The main merit of 30...fxg5 is that it keeps both Black Bishops on the board. |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | Thrajin: <Do we see a future World Champion here?> We see a soon-to-be 2800+ player at the age of 17: an unprecedented achievement. If he doesn't become world champion in the next 10 years (probably sooner) I would be surprised. |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | TITIKIZA: <White has still chances to win. Black has weak pawns on f3 and c5.> white has the f3 pawn to worry about |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | kamalakanta: Deep Shredder 11 has Black better in all variations.... |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | jeremy24: What's wrong with Bxg5 now? |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | percyblakeney: Black has Qe6 eyeing h3 in many lines. |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | kamalakanta: The pawn on f3 is a monster...in some variations, Black can go with Qh6, and if h4, then Qh5-g4-h3, with decisive attack.... |
|
Jul-21-08
 | | tamar: if 32 Bxg5 c4+ 33 Be3 Qe6 gets the e5 pawn I would think. |
|
Jul-21-08
 | | lost in space: I agree, Qe6 is a very good option |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | Atking: <percyblakeney: Black has Qe6 eyeing h3 in many lines.> yes so may be Qd7 and if Qxb2+ Nd2 Black better but white could still fight |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | kamalakanta: Maybe White should play Qd7, sacrificing two pawns to activate his Knight via d2-c4? |
|
Jul-21-08
 | | chancho: The kid is 17 and 15 points away from 2800. As he gets older, could he possibly become the first *gulp* 2900 player in chess history? |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | sozinattack: Lets get back to the game. |
|
Jul-21-08
 | | notyetagm: <kamalakanta: The pawn on f3 is a monster...in some variations, Black can go with Qh6, and if h4, then Qh5-g4-h3, with decisive attack....> Very good point.
The Black f3-pawn not only threatens to promote, it also creates an <OUTPOST> for the Black queen on g2! |
|
Jul-21-08
| | notyetagm: Carlsen is so good it is @#$%ing scary. |
|
| Jul-21-08 | | Silverstrike: <Chancho> I certainly wouldn't be surprised. |
