 | | Natalia Pogonina: Two things are clear: 1) Black is worse and has trouble finding decent moves 2) Time may become a huge factor. |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | twinlark: <Altogether, it makes him an exceptionally formidable opponent.> The thought that he's "just a teenager" doesn't really cut the mustard any more... |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | jeremy24: Ne4 can be answered with Ng4 in the barrel and threatening RxN among other threats... |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | whatthefat: How the picture has changed since I last looked at the board - nice work, Magnus. |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | SCUBA diver: I don't think Magnus should be in a hurry to play e6. .. |

 | | tamar: Loses a pawn, but does Jakovenko think he can hold? |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | chessic eric: ain't ain't a word, so i ain't gonna say it. |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | Akavall: I think Carlsen will sacrifice an exchange for the knight on e4. |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | Ezzy: 
click for larger viewCarlsen seems to have a nasty threat of 26 b4 Ne4 27 Nxd5 |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | Thrajin: <cracknik>, and I am a proposal writer and technical editor who adheres to Shipley standards and strict formatting guidelines. I think we're in agreement here: "Amn't" most certainly wouldn't pass muster in a red team review! |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | drnooo: I still would like to see Carlsen Anand Krammnik and a few of the others play five or six games against Rybka in a tourney. That would stop a lot of talk about who's the best. |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | twinlark: <whatthefat>
<How the picture has changed since I last looked at the board - nice work, Magnus.> I'm going to be hard pressed to avoid sleep puns. |

| | tamar: Oh, I see. 26 Nxd5 Nc5 is a mousetrap theme. Don't think Magnus will fall for it like I did. |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | parmetd: so many good moves for white my biggest problem here would be evaluating which is the best continuation. |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | Thorski: Is 26.Nxd4!? an option? After ...Nc5 27.f6, black's kingside seems airy. |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | FelipeGab: 26. Nxd5! |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | chessic eric: as some on the main event page have pointed out, a Carlsen win puts him at 2801 on the live ratings list. So that may be a motivation for his play here... |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | ILikeFruits: hello... |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | jeremy24: < Ezzy: Carlsen seems to have a nasty threat of 26 b4 Ne4 27 Nxd5> 27: ... Qxd5 refutes |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | Violence: Not really because they would all get beaten down like bums. |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | Thrajin: <chessic eric>, not to mention the pat on the back he'll receive from Kasparov. Magnus obviously paid good money for the training; I'm glad to see it's bringing forth fruit. |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | DrGridlock: Rf4 seems a better option for White than Nxd5 at move 26. |
|

| | Natalia Pogonina: <drnooo: I still would like to see Carlsen Anand Krammnik and a few of the others play five or six games against Rybka in a tourney. That would stop a lot of talk about who's the best.> That's absolutely irrelevant. A round robin with a few rounds between them would've been more interesting. |

 | | kamalakanta: 26.f6 looks quite tempting...any ideas? |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | marcwordsmith: Okay, another patzer question I guess. If White moves Nxd5 here, what is so bad for Black after Qxd5, Rxe4 Qxd4, Rxd4 Rxe5?? |
