Mar-14-10		Marmot PFL: 14 Kg2 is not too common and this sac (which looks prepared) seems to refute it. 35 Bg5 gives white some chance to survive but hard to find that blindfold.

Mar-14-10		kingsindian2006: it would be hard to see move 35 even without blindfold....:) i only kid

Mar-14-10		Marmot PFL: 25 Bg5 :) Anyway I know many strong players like these g4 lines for white but the few times I tried them ended up much like this.

Mar-15-10		waustad: He mentioned this game: Eljanov vs Radjabov, 2008 when talking about it after the round.

Mar-15-10		bobtheoriginal: Hope Mr Kasparov will influence Carlsen to play more King's Indian Defences.

Mar-15-10		Rolfo: waustad, Magnus surely did some improvements

Mar-15-10		boowillo: "Playing against Magnus after he has lost a game is never pleasant," said his father Henrik Carlsen.

Mar-15-10		Blaise99a: From Calsen's blog yesterday, "After he missed a chance to complicate the position on the 25th move, it was over, and he resigned on the 28th move. A very enjoyable win, not least because I spent less than 10 minutes on the clock for the entire game." Ten minutes well spent, young man!

Mar-25-10		DiscoJew: What a brutal pounding by black.

Apr-23-10		sarah wayne: 14.a4 should be played according to John Nunn.
