 | | technical draw: <Strongest Force> Baby TD for a 1970's icon? Not groovy. |
 |
| Nov-24-11 | | vonKrolock: cxd5 looks plausible, but considering the excellent place for the Knight in 'd5' ... not bad for black too |
|

 | | Jack Kerouac: Just in. Looks like maybe slight pull for white. Any ones game I think.
Who was it said,"When your not sure what to do, do nothing. Your opponents sure to make a mistake."? Paraphrase..... |

Never too late,mate (fingers crossed).E.g. just drop the glasses and the woman all look 7-8 years younger ;) |

 | | SteinitzLives: Some tension is broken, white stands better thanks to better piece placement and pawn structure, without yet committing to a K side attack, nice play by white. Black has some more freedom too, for now. |
|

 | | Strongest Force: As usual, another Carlsen foe let's him off the hook. |

 | | karnak64: Wow - that kid's name barely fits into his portrait. Imagine if he were a footballer -- his name would run from elbow to elbow on a long-sleeved jersey (unless they came up with a cute nickname for him, perhaps "Chtchi"). I'm just tuning in and I've never heard of this lad before. What's the line on him? Obviously very, very good to be in this tourney. |

| | Jack Kerouac: Double rooks? Gang up on the backward pawn? |
|
| Nov-24-11 | | MindCtrol9: Nepo,8 mins more than Carlsen,and Carlsen plan was obvios and seen.The entertaiment moves has confused someone.What can I do? to atack or defend? |
|

| | Jack Kerouac: I hear Moscow is beautiful this time of year....'specially when a piece up. |
|

| | karnak64: Okay, so I just read his cg.com bio. Double wow. That shoulda been my kid, who did forsake chess for soccer and the baritone sax. Clearly a parenting failure. |
|
Nov-24-11
| | SteinitzLives: That's ok Karnak, none of my kids took up chess either, they have been spared 1) the joy . . . and 2) sorrow . . . . and quite possibly . . . . 3)the addiction. Oh well, two out of three ain't bad (if you are a western parent ;-) |

 | | Travis Bickle: <Jack Kerouac: I hear Moscow is beautiful this time of year....'specially when a piece up.> Hey Eraserhead didn't Botvinnik say that? ; P |
|
Nov-24-11
| | Jack Kerouac: Ahem.. |
|
Nov-24-11
| | Jack Kerouac: Hey Mohawk. You back? And you might be right. I may have to research my extensive chess library. |
|
Nov-24-11
| | Travis Bickle: Hey Jack let me know if you need a lift, especially if you've been drinking. |
|
Nov-24-11
| | SteinitzLives: I think Nepo may have just jettisoned a pawn. |
|
Nov-24-11
 | | lost in space: 34. Qc4 now, I guess |
|
Nov-24-11
| | SteinitzLives: No, it's Bxb4 that wins the pawn but black gets some space and activity compensation for it. No way to tell if Carlsen will go for it. |
|
Nov-24-11
| | Jack Kerouac: <Travis> Thanks, but Neal drives me. In fact, we hit the pawn shop before this game. |
|
Nov-24-11
 | | tamar: Going a pawn down, but Black's Queen and Rook will be aggessively placed. I think it was intentional by Ian. |
|
Nov-24-11
| | SteinitzLives: Give Nepo credit for taking the risk! The white K is less safe now than blacks. |
|
Nov-24-11
| | Strongest Force: Remeber I said Nb4 backed by rooks on b-file? My way would not have left big weakness. |
|
Nov-24-11
| | SteinitzLives: Carlsen may run into time pressure and Nepo is supposed to be an awesome blitz player, then again so is Carlsen. I'm stayin right here! "honey, I'll help you with the turkey later!" |
|
Nov-24-11
| | SteinitzLives: He may have just taken the better looking pawn, which somewhat de-activates the rook on a5. Remember Bronsteins' maxim: An active rook is worth a pawn. |
