percyblakeney: <Can you imagine the reaction on the internet if Carlsen had won a game this way?> Or if Carlsen had won on time on the 40th move as in the mentioned Karpov vs Kramnik, 1994 where <Honza> meant that black had objectively fine chances to save the draw in the final ...

|
percyblakeney: <when you look at the results for each of those players it's hard to disagree> The mentioned Blackburne wasn't bad either. In his 73rd year he drew Alekhine (Chessmetrics #4) and Rubinstein (#1) and won against Nimzo (#5) in the strongest tournament of the year, where he

| | Oct-07-09 Garry Kasparov
| |
|
percyblakeney: Kasparov was interested in training Carlsen already when he was 100 points lower rated than Karjakin, so it's not as if he picked him just because of his current rating. There have been many critical posts on various sites during the month since the news broke: Kasparov is ...
