Dave12: Carlsen doesn't have to play for a win. he will probably take the safe road. Giri in the black is facing an angry Caruana and it's not likely he will take the lead. so with 1.5 points in the last 2 games left (with white against Matlakov and with black against Karjakin) it's very ...

Dave12: I think 11..a5 is a terrible strategic blunder, after which the Bishop on c8 is practically dead.

Dave12: 36.Qe6 is an amazingly powerful move. The main idea of course is the threat Qe5+. The problem is, that if the queen doesn't move, than Qe5+ Qf6 Rh7+! will do. but Qf6 for example doesn't work either- because of Qe8 Qf8 and we are back in the same problem of Qe5+. So this move puts ...
