 | | ChessHigherCat: This is a great game, really down to the wire. These guys are my 2 favorites so I can't lose but it's a battle of the titans (which one will play the role of the Titanic?) |
 |
Mar-12-18
 | | Check It Out: <Titanic> Caruana: “i’ll Never let go, Shak.” |
|
| Mar-12-18 | | Kudzi123: Mamedyarov really fighting he could have take a draw by repetition, let's see how it goes |

| | ChessHigherCat: If Kh2 Qe8 Qxd5? Qxh5+ wins the holy-roller |
|
Mar-12-18
| | ChessHigherCat: Sorry, if Kh7 (I have such bad handwriting my 7s look like 2s |

 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Surprisingly, White has played the same three moves that I had been analyzing. Therefore, they can't be good, right? Anyway, he has restrained the e-pawn and attacks the h-pawn, but 44...Bh6 or ...Bf4 seems to secure everything and threaten ...Qxd5 or ...h5-h4. Black may also offer a perpetual with 44...h5; 45.Qh5+ et cetera. |
|
Mar-12-18
| | ChessHigherCat: Qe6 is the only move I can see |
|

| | ChessHigherCat: See, Aronian would never have lost to Kramnik if I had stuck around to advise him instead of going out to buy yogurt and Red Bull |

| | ChessHigherCat: Rf1 eez only moof, no? |
|
| Mar-12-18 | | BOSTER: Push b4. |
|
Mar-12-18
 | | DWTaylorSr: Looks like Caruana is going t give up the exchange and go for the draw after all. |
|
Mar-12-18
| | ChessHigherCat: If e2, white doesn't even have to play Qxe2, just Re1 and black has nyattink |
|
Mar-12-18
| | DWTaylorSr: I agree with you. Re2 and Re1 look ok. The game still looks like it will end up drawn. Maybe later they would fight for a result. |
|
Mar-12-18
| | ChessHigherCat: I just noticed some complications with Re1, though, if Be5 Rxe2 Qf1+ wins the rook |
|
Mar-12-18
| | Mateo: Of course, 47.Qxf5 gxf5 48.Rxf4?? is not winning a piece. 48...e2, Black wins. |
|
Mar-12-18
| | ChessHigherCat: At least now, white can play Kc2. Before it was suicide with Kc1 e2+! |
|
Mar-12-18
| | Mateo: 48...Bg3 leads to a draw. The threat is ...e2. 49.Rxf5?? e2. White has to play 49.Rg1 f4 50.Kc2 e2 51.Kd2 e1Q+ 52.Rxe1 Bxe1+ 53.Kxe1 and draw. |
|
Mar-12-18
| | ChessHigherCat: <Mateo: I was looking at that, too, but what if white plays 50. c5 instead? |

 | | Eggman: I think this was the only Sicilian in the tournament! Who could have seen that coming?! |
|
| Mar-29-18 | | Petrosianic: It's unusual, but not shocking. The Sicilian has been on the wane for some time now at the top level. |
|
| Mar-30-18 | | Nerwal: It seems there were only two sicilians played at the 2016 Candidates tournament : one by Topalov, and the last round game when Caruana was forced to play for a win as Black. Both games were lost by Black. |
