| KamikazeAttack: <After the opening I had a good position - Magnus' trainer had clearly not done enough work. The Nimzovitsch with Qc2 is one of Kasparov's favourite systems; clearly, they'd worked on it together, but badly> Kasparov will not like this comment lol. |

| returnoftheking: Don't I always. |

| moronovich: Right now Carlsen has almost an hour more on the clock and a pleasant position. 40% Magnus
5% Gelfand
55% draw.
<rotk> It is good you to see that you understood what frogbert wrote.As it shouldn´t come as a big surprise to any experienced player :) |

| moronovich: Gelfand-Carlsen ½-½.
Magnus euqalized with ease and might have safed some energy after the first 2 demanding rounds. Good job. |

| SugarDom: Magnus was better in the opening and middle game...Good job... But he could have pressed for a win with 22...Rb6 instead of exchanging bishops and passed pawns that led to the draw.... |

| returnoftheking: Q: Does anyone think Carlsen plays worse here then in Nanjing, or is it that his opponents are putting up more of a fight ? |

Nanjing was Disney, Moscow is reality. |

| obientag: <Nanjing was Disney, Moscow is reality.> HURRAH!!! Genius/ a novelty :) |
 |
| Nov-07-09 |
| moronovich: <rotk> the amount of strenght(AND experience) and preparation is biger here.And maybe the Kasparoveffect(psykologically) isn´t so strong anymore !? |
 |

 |
| spawn2: the guys in Moscow are more prepared to meet the Carlsen - Kasparov tag team. But it its too early to discount GM Magnus winning this tournament. He has the skills and the second to make that a reality. |

| mysql: Carlsen was able to equalize and have a comfortable game as black. He's still playing solid for me. |

| mysql: <lostemperor> what would the motive be behind that conspiracy? |

| spawn2: <hi obien>

| anandrulez: Nanjin was not significantly lower than here - no doubts ! Radjabov Topalov Leko are not the usual super GM's ...and he had a total domination over them at Nanjing |
 |
| Nov-07-09 |
| returnoftheking: So..what's your answer then? |
 |
Nov-07-09
 |
| timhortons: this tournament will separate boys from men. |
 |
| Nov-07-09 |
| anandrulez: <returnoftheking> I am intrigued by the same :) but the explanation would be that players are fighting more ...really a tough question to answer ...as much I wonder ! |
 |
Nov-07-09
 |
| timhortons: yep! yep! hurray!
ok lets hope magnus win tommorow! |

| Alexandru Z: <KamikazeAttack>, <oiseaudefeu>, <zarg>, <returnoftheking>, thank you for replying to my post. <KamikazeAttack: <After his win over Carlsen at Dortmund, Kramnik voiced
some concerns about Carlsen's chess being a bit lightweight.> Not so sure about that. I read an article where he expressed delight in being able to win against a very strong opponent like Carlsen.> What I had in mind were those comments reported a few months ago on this page by <acirce>. <Jul-23-09 acirce: Btw and pertaining to a recent discussion on this page,
here is a statement by Kramnik made after Dortmund: <Magnus is
exceptionally talented and everything that I've said about him before I
can repeat: at some point he'll probably become world champion and,
perhaps, for a long time. But for now he still has a lot of work to do.
Ideally with a good trainer so that he doesn't have to learn from his
mistakes, and so someone can explain what to do. Because he has clear gaps
in his handling of games, it's too light-weight. Moreover, it seems to me
that he's not yet working enough at his chess. However talented you are
you can't become first without working your fingers to the bone.>> |
