 | | kingscrusher: Natalia: Maybe a final deflection is being plotted here - namely Qf4 Rd8, with the idea of saccing on d4 to try and get Qf3 in. |

 | | Natalia Pogonina: <rogge: <Natalia Pogonina: Magnus has psychological problems - he often doesn't convert won positions easily enough. Even here he managed to burn all his time and allow Leko to hold on for a little longer.>
Hi. Carlsen's been known to play certain favourable positions too fast, and missing the win. Isn't it better to use his time to secure the win?> Generally yes. There's a thin line between wasting time in simple positions & getting into time trouble and missing the win by rushing. |

| Sep-28-09 | | aphasia: Ok I'm very confused. I read on the official site and elsewhere that there was no extra time on move 40. Strange. |

| | kingscrusher: Maybe just a6 and even Rb7 stops all the black counterplay along the diagonal. |

| | Natalia Pogonina: <kingscrusher: Natalia: Maybe a final deflection is being plotted here - namely Qf4 Rd8, with the idea of saccing on d4 to try and get Qf3 in.> Even that cooperative play isn't possible since Black has a weak back rank and can't sack two rooks on d4. ;-) |

 | | zarg: <Carlsen's been known to play certain favourable positions too fast, and missing the win. Isn't it better to use his time to secure the win?> Yes, Carlsen not rushing a favourable positions, is an improvement. I don't think Kasparov is that forgiving, if the student make "sloppy" mistakes. |

Sep-28-09
| | Albertan: The official tournament website has the result of the Carlsen-Leko gave as an official 1-0 |
|
| Sep-28-09 | | aphasia: or dudette! |
|
| Sep-28-09 | | Bradah: 1-0, come on girl, time to go shopping.!!!! I'm outta here. |
|
Sep-28-09
| | Albertan: Topalov and Jakovenko have agreed to a draw.
Round 1 in the Men's tournament is history! |
|
| Sep-28-09 | | Bradah: Funnily, Zarg came out of his cave. Go Magnus!!!!! |
|

| | Albertan: Natalia thanks for your analysis and comments they were very educational and interesting!
Take care! |

 | | tpstar: <Natalia Pogonina> Thank you very much for joining us as our Guest Commentator, and I appreciate your friendly and engaging style. Hopefully the gang will behave. ;>D <chessgames.com> Thanks for the live broadcast. =) Black scores much better with 6 ... Qg6 = Opening Explorer |

| | Natalia Pogonina: Carlsen - Leko: 1-0
Magnus had obtained a favorable position by choosing an unexpected variation for Leko. Peter had to spend a lot of time and decided not to defend passively, but launch a counter-attack at White's king. Alas for him, after the 23...Ng8? blunder he had no survival chances. Especially surprising was Leko's extremely unconfident and unsolid play. And Magnus had obvious difficulties in converting the position, feeling nervous. Let's see if it will have any effect on their play in the next rounds. |

| | Natalia Pogonina: Thanks everyone & see you tomorrow! ;-) |
|

 | | WannaBe: Magnus plays the Scotch!! (Is he even old enough to drink yet?? =) |
|
Sep-28-09
 | | chessgames.com: Thanks to everybody for coming by today and a special thanks to Natalia for her great commentary. Hope to see you all back tomorrow for round #2! |

 | | whiteshark: Bad start for Leko. I hope he'll recover. |
|
Sep-28-09
 | | Eyal: Carlsen's first win over Leko in a classical game. I suppose it was overdue... |
|
| Sep-28-09 | | birthtimes: Hmmm, Carlsen's 10.f4 and 15.d5 gave him a very super cool space advantage, and Leko's kingside rook was a nonentity...also a backward c-pawn on a half-open file, and only one piece left to defend the queenside after 23...Ng8, thus leading to 2 connected passed pawns for White...very amateur-type mistakes by Leko in this game... |
