Mar-21-09  firefly3: according to the database, this is carlsen's first win over wang yue
Mar-21-09  Mulyahnto: 26. Be4 simply loses a pawn, if not the game. Maybe Wang Yue overlooked the fact that black does not have to move the bishop on c6 as it can never be taken. 28.Bxc6?? Rd8+ with mate to follow.

<Wang Yue-Carlsen: Carlsen has had a terrible time with Wang Yue lately, losing to him in both Wijk aan Zee and Linares this year. Today he got a measure of revenge, beating him twice. In the blindfold game, Wang Yue erred by giving up his dark squared bishop with 23.f3, and then 26.Be4 blundered a pawn. <<<It's likely that he missed Carlsen's little tactical trick: after 26...Rxe5 27.Kd4 Kf6, he could not play 28.Bxc6?? on account of 28...Rd8+ with mate next move.>>> So Carlsen was simply a pawn up, and then two pawns up, and that was good enough to win.>

<Mulyahnto: ... Maybe Wang Yue overlooked the fact that black does not have to move the bishop on c6 as it can never be taken. 28.Bxc6?? Rd8+ with mate to follow.>

Yes.
