Apr-27-18 | | csmath: After black lost time with
28. ...Rdf8? (looks like Rh4! was decisive)
29. f3 Rh4
30. d4 Nf4?!
31. Qd2! Bxb3
white makes another mistake with
32. Rb1?
[Rc1 and taking open c-file was more dangerous for black than going for bishop exchange.] Even though white released himself from bishop pair his position has not improved. 34. ...Qe6!
[awesome move, centralizes queen, freezing d-pawn by threatening knight on e5, infact the only way to keep the advantage.] The rest of the game is really black dominating position regardless of the attempts by white to simplify the game. |
|
Apr-27-18 | | Appaz: <csmath: After 22 moves black position looks superior> You can say that again. Twenty moves and whites most advanced piece is a knight on the forth rank, |
|
Apr-27-18 | | csmath: Giri made a mistake in the opening, allowing initiative. Carlsen completely reversed the game of Nepo-Aronian to black advantage. Giri lost opportunity to equalize the game around move 30. Giri attempted to simplify the game by hunting white square bishop exchange that did not help his position. Giri also went for forcing rook and knight exchanges which also did not help his position. Finally Giri made the last mistake allowing black queen to invade his position. |
|
Apr-27-18 | | csmath: It is still a high quality game but the quality is on the side of black. This is one of those Reverse Sicilian English openings that appeals to me and allows maximum aggression without compromising black defenses. I fully understand Carlsen's intentions in this game but I do not understand why did Giri allow something like this. I am guessing that he was under impression of Nepo's win without fully analizing that game. This game is currently under feverish analyses of Chessbase engines (hundreds of them) and I am sure these analyses will continue for a while and eventually the opening will appear improved again in some tournament. |
|
Apr-27-18 | | csmath: The best continuation for white at move 41:
41. Rf3 Rxf3
42. Nxf3 Qd5
is also lost according to the current evaluations of 43.Qc3 (15 engines) 43.Qg2 (26 engines) Chessbase engines. My engine concurs on both moves.
But this is at least playable.
It seems this is what Giri thought as well when he went for 41. Rh3? which was, unfortunately for him, totally lost. |
|
Apr-27-18 | | morfishine: Of course, its interesting to look at engine analysis as this can help one in one's future OTB contests. However, if the incredible finds are outside of a human's ability to even detect such lines within the time limits imposed by OTB play, then the value drops precipitately It remains interesting as a conversation topic, over coffee or drinks, but thats all ***** |

Apr-27-18 | | dehanne: Giri will be quiet on Twitter for a while. |
|
Apr-27-18 | | Toribio3: Anish is not a world class player. He played like an amateur player against Carlsen. |
|
Apr-27-18 | | JPi: Please Anish isn't such weak player at 2750 most of us are bout 1000 points below. It's as crazy as someone who just has learned to play chess says to one of you " your play is very weak..." With his "weak" play Anish Giri will crush most of us. Here the impression you got of feeble play of White is for most because Black play wasn't such fantastic for sure yet still very very impressive. |
|
Apr-27-18 | | csmath: Giri is extremely dangerous, has a very good tactical skills but he has developed rather unattractive "safe" style of play. He also tweets a lot, making some of his colleagues angry with careless comments. Typical youngster. Magnus just got pumped up recently on Giri so this game is not much of a surprise. |
|
Apr-27-18 | | John Abraham: Anish is seriously one of the finest technical players in the world. It is really scary how
Magnus can make this win look so easy! |

Greetings and nice to know you! |

 | | Penguincw: Well there goes Giri's non-losing record vs. Carlsen. He was one of the few to hold that honour (out of those who have actually played Carlsen of course). |
|
Apr-28-18 | | WorstPlayerEver: Carlsen played very fast. Even at crucial moments in the game. Never wake a sleeping dog. Hopefully Giri learnt his lesson. |
|
Apr-28-18 | | JustAnotherMaster: < offramp: I feel like shouting in an Alf Garnett voice, "If you watch you might actually LEARN something!!" Girl is obviously defending very well here. > Rolling on the floor laughing my @ss off at this mo....... |

Apr-29-18 | | The Boomerang: "Anish is not a world class player. He played like an amateur player against Carlsen." Go over all their other encounters and tell me Giri isn't world class... |
|
Apr-29-18 | | morfishine: <The Boomerang> Noteworthy Giri-Carlsen draw. Giri attempts to speed his attack by neglecting his K-side pieces. This is out of character for Giri. Carlsen is uncomfortable for awhile but cements the draw A Giri vs Carlsen, 2013 ***** |

Apr-29-18 | | johnkr: With 16 Kh1 Giri got a little passive. Maybe the previously-played 16 Rb1 is more accurate. 16 Rb1 Qd7 17 Ndxe4!? fxe4 18 Nxe4 is a typical sort of Dragon sac of a piece, and here White gets 3 pawns. SF does not consider that White is totally lost after for example ... Be7 19 e3 Rad8 20 d4, Having achieved a pawn chain e3-d4, White might do well in an endgame, at any rate it is nicely 'unbalanced'. As the game went, Giri had very active knights but no control over key squares d4 or f4. |
