Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-20-11  Marmot PFL: I had not seen this opening before, and thought at first 7 Bg5 was misprint.
Nov-20-11  bronkenstein: Crazy <Jobava> and his ideas (<6...e5!?>) , black breaks every possible positional principle in the opening... <7.Bg5> was considered to be the refutation of the whole line (Svidler).

Peter was making fun of his own moves on the press conference , but it seems that white needed some more subtle positional moves to `punish`, Karjak overforced and had to settle for perpetual pretty fast.

Nov-21-11  ounos: Ha, fun game. When I saw "26 moves", I thought "boring draw" and didn't even glimpse it. I returned when I saw Carlsen, in his blog ( http://www.arcticsec.no/index.php?b...) drawing attention _exactly_ in this game. Duh! My quick game scan process failed me :-)
Nov-21-11  kellmano: <ounos> Exactly the same here :-)

Cracking short draw this one. GOTD material I think. Anyone know how much time they used on it?

Nov-22-11  King Death: This opening is strange. They never played the Kan this way back in my playing days. The hedgehog was the thing. No self respecting Black player would have tried 6...e5.
Nov-22-11  bronkenstein: <kellmano: Anyone know how much time they used on it?> Bit less than 2 hours total (according to time of their press conference).

<King Death ... back in my playing days...> Hey KD, cheer up , never too late to do the Kortchnoi =)
