 | | chessgames.com: Congratulations to Magnus Carlsen who has now clinched the tournament. Please note that this final round begins three hours earlier than the other rounds: 5:00am USA/Eastern time. If this game should end early (a short "courtesy draw" would be no surprise, given the standings) then we'll gladly switch over to watch Dortmund which starts 3 hours later, at 9:15am USA/Eastern. |

 | | karnak64: 0500?? Really? I'm afraid I'll be missing this one ... |
|
| Jul-28-11 | | Chris00nj: With a victory locked up, I imagine an uneventful 30 move draw. |

If Moro does not win, I'll not be happy. |

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 Nf6 4. Nc3 Nbd7 5. Bc4 Be7 6. 0-0 0-0. Up to here they are on common ground:

 | | extremepleasure2: Come on Caruana revenge awaits you! |
|
Jul-29-11
| | extremepleasure2: Let's see if it's repeat or revenge. |
|
Jul-29-11
| | extremepleasure2: I love Caruana's style. He plays exactly like me. |
|
Jul-29-11
| | dakgootje: heh.. MVL-Shirov a draw already. |
|
Jul-29-11
| | extremepleasure2: How is 15. Ra4 now? |
|
Jul-29-11
 | | waustad: They'll just split 3rd and 4th money unless Caruana wins. Time to go get packed. |
|
Jul-29-11
| | extremepleasure2: Is there any opinion about the position? Ra4 looks nice to me. |
|
| Jul-29-11 | | Knightenprise: What is the idea behind Ra4? All of the fourth rank squares are protected, so it can't swing anywhere from there. As for what to do with white, I'm not quite sure, and it seems Caruana isn't either, judging from the time he has spent... |
|
| Jul-29-11 | | Knightenprise: Ah, and now we do see a Ra4, although in this position it does have a clear target: the c4-pawn. |
|
Jul-29-11
| | extremepleasure2: Threatens to take the the pawn in c4. How will black defend it. I offered to play Ra4 in the 15th move. The idea was to prepare Be3 and f4 and chase the knight on e5 by preventing 15...Nc4. If 15... Bd7 16 Ra3 white's position improved. |
|
| Jul-29-11 | | fischer2009: Qd4 seems forced.Why is carlsen thinking so much? |
|
Jul-29-11
 | | WinKing: Oh man they are playing already. Time to make some coffee. Well at least it looks interesting for a final game where the match has been clinched. 17...Qc7 looks good here. |
|
| Jul-29-11 | | fischer2009: EXCUSE ME,what about the c4 pawn after Qc7? |
