Jan-27-16 | | chessdgc2: Open Defense...Yes, Carlsen clearly wishes to dominate, but what isn't clear is, "why?" Does a great chess player "want to dominate chess" because he's greedy? Is it because he just likes to compete and challenge himself? The latter is why I play chess...but when you get as strong as Carlsen, the doors open wide to many other reasons...Gary wanted political control, too |

Jan-27-16
 | | Open Defence: looking very drawish from a structural point of view but invasion points for the rooks might give either side something |
|
Jan-27-16 | | botvinnik64: (KeyPusher)
Good Call! |
|
Jan-27-16
 | | Open Defence: a3 might be better than dxc5 to preserve something in the game |
|
Jan-27-16 | | BOSTER: I hope that Giri is not going to sac the exchange like Adams,
or the piece like Eljanov. |
|
Jan-27-16
 | | Open Defence: <chessdgc2> its down to personality even Karpov when he became WC tried to win everything and win by a huge margin to show he deserved to be WC especially since he won by default |
|
Jan-27-16 | | chessdgc2: Open Defense...It's very interesting ...one can only wonder which direction Carlsen will go. Winning can become an obsession, but does it have to? If you can won the world, then why not? History has it that anyone who owned the world, lost it again! |
|
Jan-27-16 | | frogbert: < I hope that Giri is not going to sac the exchange like Adams, or the piece like Eljanov.> That still leaves the rook, the queen and the king. :) |
|
Jan-27-16
 | | Open Defence: dxc5 played Giri might be looking to bail |
|
Jan-27-16 | | frogbert: Game over. Repetition soon coming. |
|
Jan-27-16
 | | keypusher: Caruana-Wei Yi, anyone? |
|
Jan-27-16
 | | Open Defence: i thought So-Tomashevsky was interesting |
|
Jan-27-16 | | john barleycorn: <Open Defence: i thought So-Tomashevsky was interesting> that is what you thought. :-) |
|
Jan-27-16 | | Jim Bartle: Well, that was thrilling. |
|
Jan-27-16 | | john barleycorn: <Jim Bartle: Well, that was thrilling.> yup, like a <ljfyffe> citation of a Blake poem. |
|
Jan-27-16
 | | keypusher: This is why people shouldn't want a Giri-Carlsen match. |
|
Jan-27-16 | | JoeBerylwood: Giri continues his passive aggression toward magnus. He plays to preserve his +1 score, not to win in a must win game... Predictable but a bit disappointing. |
|
Jan-27-16 | | beenthere240: And Carlsen had doubled pawns, usually enuf for thevwin |
|
Jan-27-16 | | Ulhumbrus: 12 Bd3 moves the king's bishop a third time in the opening. This suggests 12 0-0 and White can at least dream of the type of advantageous ending seen in the game Alekhine vs Capablanca, 1927 |
|
Jan-27-16
 | | HeMateMe: the Rag then is just a draw, if black only wants to draw? |
|
Jan-27-16 | | shintaro go: If Carlsen decides to play super solid and not experiment with weird openings, there's just no way of beating him. |
|
Jan-27-16 | | iking: why Carlsen can't impose his MIGHT over Giri? .. puzzling. |
|
Jan-27-16 | | QueentakesKing: Let's face it, Carlsen is not as brilliant as Kasparov. |
|
Jan-28-16 | | iking: kasparov is awesome ... but Karpov is his nemesis par excellence too. |
