  Bridgeburner: Wang Yue selected a strange defense as the doesn't seem to be much prospect of other than laborious defense. But his losing move came a move before the fatal queen exchange.

After <17...Qxd4 18. Kh2>:

<18...Re8> loses. <18...h5> immediately and if <19. Qg3> then <19...Rc8> followed by <20...h4> would have seen him live to fight the better fight, eg: <18...h5 19. Qg3 Rc8 20. Nc3 (what else?) h4 21. Qf3 c6 22. Be3 Qe5+ 23. Bf4 Qf6>:

Black lives on, especially as his king rook now serves a useful purpose.

  kingscrusher: Just a brief note to my proposed game quotation:

"to obtain by persistent arguing or maneuvering : wangle"

  kingscrusher: This is actually accidental genius because in fact:

"Wangle" is the transitive verb apparently of "Wrangle" - even better. I was thinking of "Wrangle". Oh come on - this must win the game quotation :)

  moronovich: Another game quotation : "How are Yue doing?".Pronouced with the same accent as Joey in "Friends" ;)

Or "I am black,I am white,I am a panda fried!"

Oct-22-10  jrlepage: ''What'' instead of ''How'' would also work just fine:)
Oct-22-10  jrlepage: Wang's record with the petrov: W6-L4-D27. Not bad, but not great. But those 27 draws might suggest that he waved the white flag to Carlsen right from the beginning.

  Marmot PFL: This looks like the way Marshall used to play the Petroff, as a counter-attacking line. Today though this is considered dubious, and the Petroff is usually played for a draw.

  jmboutiere: 10...Ng4 without developing queenside could be a mistake, 10...c6 looks better and 8... O-O looks better than 8... Nf6

Oct-22-10  rubymaser: We shouldn't politicize this game, but let's do it anyway. Since it is essentially Norway vs. China so soon after the fallout from the Nobel Peace Prize seletion, I think the game quote should be: "Liu Xiaobo sent me to say F*@# YUE!"
Oct-22-10  KKDEREK: <SugarDom: If it was a under 25 moves quickie, the pun will be "Wang Bam Thank You Mam"...>

ehehehe

Oct-22-10  percyblakeney: After Linares 2009 Carlsen has played seven games against Wang Yue, the score being five wins and two draws.

Modern chess - How to win without developing your queenside for 21 moves.

Oct-22-10  maelith: At Ezy, this is not modern chess, even on the time of Alekhine, you will see similar kinds of game, Magnus just move base on the requirement of the position
Oct-30-10  Yigor: <Bridgeburner> Thanx for indicating 18...h5 as a better move and an egalizing strategy. What about 18...f6? It was used in one game archived here.

  Bridgeburner: <Yigor>

It's hard to see how good that move is from E Can vs O Yashkin, 2008 as both players made some mistakes.

But I suspect weakening the king side and delaying the development of the king rook is not good for Black, eg: if <18...f6>:

After <19. Nc3 Kf7 20. Qg3 c6>:

White can seize the long diagonal and cut the black queen off from the king side immediately with <19. Bf4> (instead of <19. Be3> and Black has hardly any play:

If <19...Rae8 20. Rd1>:

and I know who I'd be putting my money on. Black's king rook is still inactive and tied to the defense of the h-pawn. White has five very aggressive and active pieces all bearing down on the king, and it's hard to see how Black can survive.

  Eyal: <Bridgeburner: Wang Yue selected a strange defense as the doesn't seem to be much prospect of other than laborious defense. But his losing move came a move before the fatal queen exchange.

After <17...Qxd4 18. Kh2>, <18...Re8> loses. <18...h5> immediately and if <19. Qg3> then <19...Rc8> followed by <20...h4> would have seen him live to fight the better fight, eg: <18...h5 19. Qg3 Rc8 20. Nc3 (what else?) h4 21. Qf3 c6 22. Be3 Qe5+ 23. Bf4 Qf6>>

In the 18...h5 line, White can improve with <21.Qg5>, denying the e5 square from the black queen, and it looks pretty bad for Black after 21...c6 22.Be3 Qb4 23.Bxa7 (23...Qxb2?? 24.Bc5+ Kg8 25.Bd4 and mate; 23...b6 24.Rf1 followed by Qf4, or 24...Ra8 25.a3 Qxb2 26.Bb8! Rxb8 27.Qf4). I suspect that the whole forcing sequence beginning with 12...Bh2+ is a bad idea for Black; maybe he should try 12...Nf6 instead, as in F Caruana vs Motylev, 2008.

  Bridgeburner: <Eyal>

You're quite right about <21. Qg5>. That seems to win in all lines.

<I suspect that the whole forcing sequence beginning with 12...Bh2+ is a bad idea for Black>

Fully agree. Seems strange for Yue to have used it at all, as those sorts of two minor piece for one rook exchanges are usually compensated by heavy piece activity, which Black clearly didn't have.

<Yigor>

Regrettably my earlier <18...h5> analysis was wrong, and is just another losing line for Black.
