| Sep-06-08 | | vuhb: Forgot to add, with Rxb2, white plays a4 and Be7 keeps the pressure, wonder what Fritz would say... |
 |
| Sep-06-08 | | gaatab: carlsen made this at home!
it's too wird...
wowww |

 | | Ulhumbrus: 27 e5 obstructs the fifth rank. By doing that it blocks the black Queen's defence of the g5 pawn from a5. In this way it prepares the sacrifice Nxg5 which could be answered otherwise by ..Qxg5. |
|
| Sep-07-08 | | ughaibu: Rb1 was very impressive, it didn't occur to me at all, and I like the way Carlsen reserved a3 until it made a real difference, after that Radjabov's pieces all looked misplaced on the queenside. |
|
| Sep-09-08 | | sergeidave: <MORPHY MARVELLOUS> LOL! True! I almost forgot that he is at the top of the rankings now! :) |
|
| Sep-14-08 | | selvmatt: According to Henrik's blog, this game won Magnus the brilliancy price of the tournament. |
|
| Sep-14-08 | | zoat22: well if it did win the brilliancy prize it was probably because the judges were biased. honestly ivanchuk's game with carlsen didn't seem any worse. |
|
| Sep-15-08 | | addiction to chess: I have a question: What happens if Radjabov played 33...Rxb2? I don't see an immediate win after 34.a4 Rxc2 although I'm not a very good player. Can someone please explain? |
|
| Sep-15-08 | | InspiredByMorphy: <addiction to chess> 33. ...Rxb2 34.Rxb2 Qxa3+ 35.Na2 and if ...c3 then 36.Nexc3 giving just enough coverage to defend the attack. |
|
| Sep-16-08 | | addiction to chess: <InspiredByMorphy> Thank you for the annotations but isn't it that in your analysis, after 36.Nexc3 Qxc3 and Blackis winnning?(note: both the knight and the rook are pinned) |
|
| Sep-17-08 | | InspiredByMorphy: <addiction to chess> It is mate in four ( I missed it too ) after 33. ...Rxb2 34.Rxb2 Qxa3+ 35.Na2 and now if c3 36.Rh6+ Nxh6 37.Qg6+ Kh8 38.Rb8+ Bc8 39.Rxc8+ Ng8 40.Rxg8# Whites 27.e5! followed by 28.Nxg5! are what turned this from an equal position to being all whites game. It doesn't even matter what black replies to whites 27th move with, the advantage has already been obtained. |
|
| Sep-18-08 | | addiction to chess: Thank you InspiredbyMorphy for your very helpful line. Although, I don't understand after 33. ...Rxb2 34.Rxb2 Qxa3+ 35.Na2 c3 36.Rh6+ Nxh6 37.Qg6+ Kh8 38.Rb8+ Bc8 39.Rxc8+ Ng8?? There are no more knights and the king is on g8. I believe you meant 39...Kf7 40.Qg6+ Ke6 41.Nc5+ and whatever black replies can be met by Qd3#(except of course the queen sac). |

|
| Sep-25-08 | | shintaro go: Radjabov should have stuck with his pet Sveshnikov. |

 | | sevenseaman: Has he really been unwell? I wont say 'get well soon' coz a sick Carlsen is just as bad as a healthy Carlsen. |

 | | hedgeh0g: I remember following this game live and being amazed at how cool Magnus was in defending his position. What really made the difference was that White's rook and knight were just enough to defend the mating threats on the queenside, allowing the other pieces to run rampant on the kingside. Very efficient defense by Carlsen! |
