 | | keypusher: Apparently 80....Nd4 was an only move. I remember having an ending like this with Black and winning only because of a blunder. VK has done an amazing job of creating problems after his mistake on move 67. |
|
| Apr-20-19 | | not not: Next step: cleaning rooms in trumps hotel for cash in hand as illegal alien. True German would not give up til mate! |
|
| Apr-20-19 | | ChessHigherCat: h-pawn queens but Coppertone Kid gave him a run for his money. |
|
| Apr-20-19 | | Ulhumbrus: 80...Nd4 heads for e6 and gains time. |
|
| Apr-20-19 | | beenthere240: Great game and a terrific fight by Victor. Hope he has a great tournament and comes in second. |
|
Apr-20-19
| | keypusher: Great game, by both of them. Like love, like life, Magnus finds a way. |
|
| Apr-20-19 | | Ulhumbrus: We may think it possible that if Carlsen had had the white side he would have organized the advance g4 with greater skill and won the middle game and perhaps handled the ending with greater skill as well. However as <MrMelad> has indicated we may hear more from Keymer in the future. |
|
| Apr-20-19 | | beenthere240: Yeah we may hear from him tomorrow!& |

 | | AylerKupp: A good example why the winner of a chess game is the player that makes the next to last mistake (Carlsen's 56...Rg7 vs. Keymer's 67.Bf2). Still, a great performance by the 14-year old Keymer against the World Champion. |
|
| Apr-20-19 | | ChessHigherCat: Karlsruhe is an incredibly boring town, that probably helps them stay in shape. |
|
| Apr-20-19 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: I always enjoy seeing two bishops battle against two knights. |

| | keypusher: <I don't know anyone with stronger fighting qualities. When I started to play in supertournaments, I was amazed by his ability to readjust himself on the spot. Karpov would play a game, come under pressure, defend for six hours, fortifies - it's very hard to break through his defence, he brilliantly calculated the variants and so defended very stubbornly - and the position would become almost drawn. The opponent would relax for a bit, and the position would become completely equal. Any player would agree to a draw and be glad that this torture was over. But Karpov would immediately start playing for a win! He could very easily forget what happened on the board before, detach himself from position's history. Karpov wasn't prone to any kind of mood swings; it was always as though he just came, sat down and started playing. If he sees any chance, he always tries to exploit it.> Kramnik interview, https://www.chess.com/blog/Spektrow... |

| Apr-20-19 | | frogbert: <A good example why the winner of a chess game is > ... Magnus Carlsen. |
|
| Apr-20-19 | | devere: If 67. Kb3 Ne2 68. Bxf6+ Kxf6 69. Bxe4 Nxf4 70. Bf3 Kg5 71. Ka4 Nxh5? 72. Bxh5 Kxh5 73. Kb5 White would win the ensuing Queen and pawn ending. Not easy for anyone to calculate; especially with the clock ticking against Carlsen. |
|

| | chancho: Keymer has a bright future.
He may have come up short against the World Champion, but he has a win over a world championship challenger: V Keymer vs Gelfand, 2018 |
|
| Apr-20-19 | | frogbert: <keypusher> Yeah, one can easily see that much of Kramnik's praise for Karpov would fit another contemporary player. |
|
| Apr-20-19 | | Ulhumbrus: The computer evaluations on the official site indicate that the advance 30 g6? is premature and lets slip all of White's advantage whereas after 30 Qg3 White is much better. |
|
| Apr-20-19 | | scholes: This was a very tricky endgame for white, rampaging knights with multiple potential passed pawns. Engine were screaming draw but it was lost against carlsen |

 | | Sally Simpson: ***
Looks like I missed a good game. Hope the wee lad recovers. Anand fresh from his taxing 20 move draw v MVL will not show any pity. *** |

 | | Richard Taylor: On move 30. Qh1 gives White an advantage. It is hard to find but is interesting that Carlsen, despite his great talent, had, it seems (objectively) misplayed the game to that point. |
|
Apr-20-19
| | Richard Taylor: Carlsen's decision to play 20. Bxc3 is objectively an error although it is a common idea in lines of the Benoni and say the Symmetrical English - Rubinstein var when White captures on c6 and attacks the doubled pawns. Later Kreymer's should have plaed 20. Kh2 as the King gets in the way of White's pieces. |
|
| Apr-21-19 | | fabelhaft: -<Carlsen, despite his great talent, had, it seems (objectively) misplayed the game> Keymer’s coach Leko said something to the effect that Carlsen isn’t a 2860 player when he has to play dodgy openings because he considers a game a must win when he is black. Carlsen took lots of risks and said himself that the game was more memorable as a fight than for the quality of the moves. |
|

 | | perfidious: <Richard>, I am far from convinced that....Bxc3 is bad here; it is actually a common motif in this King's Indian pawn structure when Black has managed to get in ....c5, so that a minor piece cannot make its way to d4. White will typically play for the lever g4, even as a sacrifice of a pawn, as this is his only active possibility. |
