 | | messachess: I predict a great game here. Yue plays well against
Carlsen. |
|
May-16-09
 | | PhilFeeley: I'll predict a Carlsen win. |

| | rangek: Is Wang Yue to Carlsen what Geller is to Fischer? :) |

 | | OhioChessFan: hedgeh0g, nope, it was right on target in addressing the First! posts. |

| | OhioChessFan: Range, we could all post what Opening we think will be played. |

<Queen's Gambit Declined Semi-Slav>! http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... |
|
May-17-09
| | blacksburg: that guess is no fun. every game is a slav., that's apparently the only possibly opening in chess these days. i vote for hippo! |
|
May-17-09
| | Mateo: Well, no Slav today... |
|
May-17-09
 | | vonKrolock: good sunday, chess fans - Gruenfeld or King's, that's the question... |
|
May-17-09
| | BadKnight: has carlsen played the gruenfeld before? |
|
May-17-09
| | whiteshark: doldrums: ...d6 or ...d5 |
|
May-17-09
| | vonKrolock: ...was the question |
|
May-17-09
 | | Sneaky: Morning everybody. So this a Gruenfeld or is transposing into something else? |
|
May-17-09
| | Sneaky: I don't know the theory here, but it seems like if 8.Bxc4 then 8...Ne4 looks menacing, hitting the pinned c3 knight THREE times. But wait, then White has 9.Qd5! winning a piece, no? |

| | waustad: Not a Slav day. 2 Sicilians and a Gruenfeld. |
|
May-17-09
| | vonKrolock: something like Larsen vs Tal, 1965 |
|
May-17-09
| | Mateo: The official live coverage shows 9.Nge2. But I think <Chessgames> is more accurate. 9.Ne2 is the right way. |
|
May-17-09
| | Mateo: Deviating from Piket-Leko, Amber Blindfold 2001. Leko played 12...Qc5. |
|
May-17-09
| | vonKrolock: right, Piket vs Leko, 2001 now Carlsen introduced a novelty |
