Dec-09-10  Marmot PFL: black is paying the price for the pawn weaknesses now
Dec-09-10  Ragar: I'm off and i think Mickey has had it. No idea why he did not take the A pawn.
Dec-09-10  whooops: yup, stockfish even says +2.82

exchange Qs and drive home the advantage

Dec-09-10  Ulhumbrus: 41 Qg3 and the Queens come off, unless White can play for still more.
Dec-09-10  ajile: I like the plan of f5 and then e6 for White. Looks like Black is busted here.
Dec-09-10  kellmano: Weird game.

Looking at Mickey's expression now makes me think that he is just thinking 'ooooh damn'

Dec-09-10  SCUBA diver: Now black probably regrets his move K-h8.
Dec-09-10  Ulhumbrus: <ajile: I like the plan of f5 and then e6 for White. Looks like Black is busted here.> You could be right. Here is one way for Black to lose: 45 Nxa6 Ra4 46 f5 Nd4 47 Nc5 Rxa5 48 e6 fe 49 fe Rxc5 50 e7 and Black has to give his Rook up for the e pawn.
Dec-09-10  beenthere240: Dancing rook soon IMO.
Dec-09-10  Gilmoy: Black strands Rook on 4 behind wall of Tootsie pops -- cannot lick way to center --
Dec-09-10  theodor: Magnus Carloff!

  chessgames.com: Thanks to everybody for coming by today. Tomorrow's game starts at 9:00am USA/Eastern. Hope to see you then!
Dec-09-10  ajile: Black's failed k-side (attack?) split his forces with fatal results. GG for Carlsen.
Dec-09-10  Ulhumbrus: Perhaps he resigns because White is going to play the manoeuvre Rf1-b1-b7 after which the black king can't keep back both the a and e pawns eg 49...Ke7 50 Rb1 Kd7 51 Rb7 Kc8 52 e6 fe 53 f3 Kd8 54 a7

  scormus: Thanks CG. A tense, rather Nordic battle I thought. Felt Michael had at least equality for a long time, then seemed to lose his way among the fjords.

Dec-09-10  ajile: Hey cg.com how come you didn't use my "gangsta" Carlsen gif?

:o)

Dec-09-10  dakgootje: Drat. So much for my prediction of move 48.

  Domdaniel: <ajile> Heh. Very gangsta. "Well! If we don't pay our protection money somebody might have to throw a hissy fit! Sailor."

Maybe somebody *owns* that pic of MC? In the corporate legal sense?

Dec-09-10  ajile: <Domdaniel:>

It's a fashion shot of him in an advertisement that I photoshopped into a gif I made with Ulead Gif Animator.

Dec-10-10  percyblakeney: Carlsen keeps doing well with white against Adams:
