Jun-19-13 Tal Memorial (2013)    Beholder: <parmetd: Nakamura still has Gelfand, Carlson and Morozevich left... so 1.5/3 isn't a stretch.> Beating Pontus Carlsson shouldn't be too hard for Naka, considering the rating difference.      Jun-19-13 YouRang chessforum    Beholder: It's getting ridiculous how few results I'm able to predict correctly in this event. == Round 7 Fri June 21 Carlsen - Morozevich 1-0 Nakamura - Gelfand 0-1 Mamedyarov - Anand 1/2 Kramnik - Andreikin 1/2 Karjakin - Caruana 1/2      Jun-15-13 Carlsen vs Caruana, 2013    Beholder: <chessdgc2: I've been playing chess for 30 years and I've NEVER seen a win in a position like this among players of this caliber, NEVER...I suppose it is possible, but only if one errors...> You are probably unfamiliar with a concept of a tablebase.
