|
Eurotrash: The position that white goes for in this game, can only be advisable if it is part of careful home preparation, in which you have concluded that blacks attack is ultimately insufficient. I believe Carlsen, somewhat overconfidently, tried to figure all this out over the board, ...

Eurotrash: Well obviously anyone claiming the #1 spot in the world will enjoy a psychological advantage over their opponent. Carlsen has earned that advantage by getting to the #1 rank in the first place. Whenever I play a higher rated opponent, I tend to spend too much time on ...
