Mar-15-11		tamar: A win in classical is worth 10 bragging points. A win in rapid 4 A win in Blind 6 So Magnus still trails in BP.

Mar-15-11		perfidious: As to who is ahead of whom, there's a lot of hot air blown about on the basis of three games-maybe we'd best see a slightly larger sample size before leaping to conclusions. Of course, those who hate Carlsen (and it seems there are a few here on CG) will grasp at any straws to support their POV. Come back to this particular argument when they've played enough games to make comparisons worthwhile; till then, it hasn't got any meaning.

Mar-15-11		Penguincw: < amaurobius > < tamar > Well.Let's put it this away.Giri had a 100% score against Carlsen before the Amber tournament.But,if Giri wants to even maintain a plus score against Carlsen,then he has to be a lot more careful.

Mar-16-11		wordfunph: "My opponent tomorrow is the 16 year old Giri, and I will certainly be eager to gain revenge from my dreadful (I cannot think of a nicer word :) loss against him in Wijk aan Zee earlier this year." - Magnus Carlsen http://www.arcticsec.no/index.php?b... ...and mission accomplished 0-1!

Mar-16-11		sevenseaman: A tough... and patient grind out.

Mar-16-11		fab4: After move thirteen I would raise a question mark about Giri's idea of swinging the QN over to the KS with Ne2/f4. It doesn't look right. And on playing 16.Ng5 18..Ne4! just refutes the whole idea.

Mar-16-11		amaurobius: <A win in classical is worth 10 bragging points. A win in rapid 4 A win in Blind 6> Thanks <tamar> - sounds reasonable. Is this widely recognised?

Mar-16-11		rogge: I'd say classical 10, rapid 3, blindfold 2, blitz 1

Mar-16-11		amaurobius: < KKDEREK: I just don't remember Carlsen been outplayed lately in endgames. Might have happened , but is very rare, for sure..> Carlsen vs I Nepomniachtchi, 2011 perhaps? Though arguably it was late middle rather than endgame where he was outplayed.

Mar-16-11		PJ chess player: Carlsen played 18... Ne4! and after changing the queens, he had better position and beat Giri. Nice game!

Mar-16-11		fab4: <PJ chess player: Carlsen played 18... Ne4! and after changing the queens, he had better position and beat Giri. Nice game!> Thanks PJ.. anything new to add though ?!.. Because if you read down a few posts,this has already been said.

Mar-16-11		Lennonfan: <fabster>...this may be slightly off topic,but i need your advice my young "friend"...my nephew wants a power ranger for his birthday...which is the bestest,strongestest,power ranger at the moment?? And the cheapestestest obviously? And on topic why would anyone on this site listen to the advice and insults of a middle/upper class,spoilt little kid who's more worried about getting bullied at school than he knows about chess??

Mar-16-11		Fanques Fair: This is a dutch defense, never heard about "Kangoroo Defense ", but it´s obviously a dutch vatiation !

Mar-16-11		TheFocus: Originally, 1.d4 e6 2.c4 Bb4+ was known as the Keres Defense (also Franco-Indian Defense). Never heard it called the Kangaroo Defense.

Mar-16-11		Akavall: < KKDEREK: I just don't remember Carlsen been outplayed lately in endgames. Might have happened , but is very rare, for sure..> Here is one recent example: Carlsen vs Anand, 2010

Mar-16-11		Lennonfan: There's one against adams not so long back also if i remember rightly!!

Mar-19-11		Fusilli: What's the problem with 32.Nxe5?

Mar-19-11		tpstar: 32. Nxe5?! a6: click for larger view Black wins the exchange after 33. Nxd3 axb5, or White could try 33. Nc4 axb5 34. Nxd6 bxa4 which looks very good for Black.

Mar-20-11		Fusilli: <tpstar> Of course. Clear refutation, thanks.

Mar-21-11		Boratco: The boy need to know when to quit. Un-grandmaster like conduct. Too disrespectful.:D

Mar-21-11		HeMateMe: I think black is winning.

Jun-15-11		onky1995: Great indian child!

Jun-15-11		onky1995: great

Aug-25-12		jmboutiere: These days Carlsen has only 7 point to reach the best ever ELO result (2850)in the history of chess !!! Respect.

Sep-03-17		iron john: why not 20.d5 ?
