Nov-26-10		achieve: Remarkable flawless play by Carlsen, and Caruana's counterplay attempts (following the move #51 b7-pawn loss) at harassing the white King and subsequent trapping the white Rook are worth more than a mention. Great entertainment and just very powerful speed chess. Thinking out loud here and wondering why Caruana finished as low in the final standing as he did.

Jul-05-12		harrylime: Just played thru this game on 'guess the move' and came here because I could'nt work out how Carlsen had won on move 29. I was thinking just how good is this kid lol .. Well for one I did'nt realize this was a blitz game, so I guess that answers my question.
