 | | AylerKupp: <<WDenayer> It would be the second time that the Mozart of chess will be unable to win the classical chess part. It has to come with a psychological cost. Not good.> And yet Carlsen will retain his title and get 55% of the 1 M Euro prize fund. That extra 100 K euros should more than balance any psychological cost |

 | | Dionysius1: Hi <AylerKupp> <Given the closeness of their pre-match Elo ratings at Classic time controls I don't see why anyone is surprised at 7 straight draws> I do understand. But 3 wins each and a draw would be so much easier to sell! |

Nov-18-18 | | zanzibar: <<AK> What I want to know is, if he's been a member since Sep-23-96 and has never kibitzed, what constituted his "sighting" on Oct-16-06? Does anyone have any thoughts? Or should I ask poor <Sargon>?> He last logged into his account then, that's all. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Norwegian Woodpusher was once put forward as a pun to a Carlsen game. Carlsen vs Bacrot, 2010 (kibitz #40) They eventually went for Norwegian Wood. |

It was a joke cause AK typed in "96" instead of "06". |
|
Nov-18-18 | | rogge: <Penguincw> I understood you were joking :) |

Nov-18-18 | | optimal play: This time the Queens stayed on past the 30th move but were exchanged soon after, with the game then quickly being drawn. Oh well, we'll see what happens tomorrow. |

Nov-18-18 | | vonKrolock: <"I had one chance to play actively but I didn’t entirely believe in it,” said <Carlsen>, referring to his choice to castle (15. O-O) instead of Nce4. “Castling is essentially just an admission that the position is equal. I was also looking at f4, which is interesting but probably nonsensical.”> (apud 'The Guardian') |

Nov-18-18 | | Atking: Obviously equal. |
