| |
|
Eurotrash: <returnoftheking> My choice would be Jakovenko - Carlsen. Carlsen springs the Najdorf which must be a bit intimidating for white considering Kasparov's expertise. Black gets a good grip before making a slight error (or is it?) allowing white to make a passed pawn. After ...

Eurotrash: I can't believe it took me a whole minute.

Eurotrash: <ounos> Why take the queen when you can mate?

Eurotrash: Carlsen might have had a few tries for a win, but it looks like he had his mind set on a draw today.

Eurotrash: <timhortons>Forgive me for being cynical, but it seems to me the production company are looking to cash in by doing a "paul potts" sequel. They may call it reality TV, but thats about 98% TV and 2% reality.

| |
|
Eurotrash: Kamsky is a great blitz player, but the difficult thing is to change tempo.

| | Feb-25-09 Linares (2009)
| |
|
Eurotrash: <Kaspykov> That's 3.5 for Carlsen. Chessgames still hasnt updated his score for last round. Grishuk's score is disgustingly good.
