Dec-29-16		IAmMe: Karjakin has his revenge

Dec-29-16		john barleycorn: <IAmMe: Karjakin has his revenge> too little too late

Dec-29-16		Eyal: Carlsen missed a chance to claim a draw by threefold repetition on moves 79, 81 & 83.

Dec-29-16		ChessHigherCat: Reti or not, here I come!

Dec-29-16		RookFile: Can you claim a draw without a scoresheet? I really don't know, I haven't played in a blitz tournament in years.

Dec-29-16		Eyal: In this tournament, at least, I know that players are claiming both threefold repetitions (https://twitter.com/TarjeiJS/status...) and 50 moves.

Dec-29-16		ajile: What an ending. Good maneuvering to force the check and fork of the rook.

Dec-30-16		Bondsamir: It's never too late!

Dec-30-16		Atking: Well it is just a blitz but I don't understand why Carlsen sacrificed his Q.

Dec-30-16		ChessHigherCat: <Atking: Well it is just a blitz but I don't understand why Carlsen sacrificed his Q.> Good question but I don't think he had any good alternatives. White is "forked" and if he moves the Q then NxR, BxR, and black can probably finagle another minor piece out of the deal (bishop or knight)

Jan-01-17		JCigan: There was no repetition as far as I can see

Jan-01-17		Sally Simpson: This position. click for larger view appeared on the board with Black to play on moves 79, 81 and 83.

Jan-01-17		SimplicityRichard: <ChessHigherCat: "Reti or not, here I come!"> Now, this ought to be the game of the day along with that title! I will suggest that title.#
