Karjakin - Radjabov instructive light piece ending strong N+N vs N+(bad) bishop. |

| KamikazeAttack: Now that Carjack is getting invitations to top level chess tournamnents, he is showing his class. Those idiots who kept wasting invitations on has beens like Van Wely finally so sense. And those who think the future of chess belongs to Carlsen are in for a rude awakening. There are a few more Carjacks waiting for their chance to play and improve in top level play. |
|
| May-10-09 |
| returnoftheking: haha. Never write van Wely off-but there are indeed enough top class players who don't or did not get a chance and that's a shame. |

| Augalv: Carjack?

| Augalv: FIDE World team beats Azerbaijan 21.5-10.5
The FIDE team playing in the President's cup in Baku was nominally 50 points stronger than its Azeri opponents. But even that could not lead anyone to anticipate the tonking (as the British would call it) delivered by visitors. Vladimir Kramnik was the lead tonker, with 6.5 points from eight games and a performance of 2977. Anand followed with 5.5/8 = 2850. Final report with video. http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp... |

| Karjakinfan: Seems like Sergey is taking a long break from chess. I hope he is in great form when he comes back. Looking foward to his next tourney. |

| returnoftheking: I guess he feels that winning Corus and Bilbao in 1 year is enough.. |
|

| Augalv: <I guess he feels that winning Corus and Bilbao in 1 year is enough..> Well i guess that explains Sergey's <long> break from chess. He's been seriously preparing for his second super tournament win this year! |

| Augalv: Btw, the Bilbao Grand Slam final will be played exclusively by the four winning players of the tournaments that, along with Bilbao, make up the Grand Slam Chess Association: Corus, Linares, Mtel Masters, and Pearl Spring, which has been incorporated into the Grand Slam this year. It's still not known whether it will be a double round-robin or whether the participants will go to a 4x4 match-tournament. |

| returnoftheking: augalv;
since you liked the aerosvit game against van Wely I mentioned a while back you might like this one too:Eljanov vs Karjakin, 2007
I believe this one won him a special prize (informant??) too-though I can't find any info on that. |

| returnoftheking: <ChessInformant 101 features a selection of 459 annotated games and 516 game fragments which makes a total of nearly 1000 latest novelties all taken from the period September 1 till December 31 of 2007....
The most important theoretical novelties goes to the game Eljanov – Karjakin,Foros 2007 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3. f3 f6 4.e3 a6 5.c3 b5 6.c5 bd7 7.a3 a5 8. d3 e5 9.dxe5 g4 10.e6 fxe6 11.d4 xc5 12.e2 xf2 13. xf2 d6 14.g3 0-0+ 15.g2 d7 16.d2 e5 17.b3 e6 18.g4 a4 19.c1  g5 20.h4 g6 21.h5 g5 22. h4 e4 23.e1 c5 24.xd7 xd7 25.1e2 e5 26.h1 f3 27.h3 f6 28.f4 xd2 0-1,and the extra included theoretical survey from Paunovic is superb!> |
|
| Jun-14-09 |
| Augalv: Thanks for the game <ROTK>. Eljanov was completely outplayed by Karjakin. Not that easy to spot where he went wrong. |
|

| Augalv: At least to my patzer eyes ;) |

| returnoftheking: I just read an article about young title holders.
GM Karjakin is still number 1 on the list; the only player to have achieved the title at the age of 12!Now I am wondering: The article only emphasises on age but it takes not into account the number of games played and the amount of possible GM norms in the tournaments before; in other words; how many tries these stars needed to get the title.
I can imagine that some players get more chanches than others (based on geography/country and wealth).
I was amazed to see quite a number of Gm's from outside Europe, India and the former Soviet states on the list of young GMs.
F.e. Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son, from Vietnam, achieved the title at 14 years and 10 months in 2004. Ramirez (at 15 years) from Costa Rica. Bu from China. Those aren't countries with many title holders and/or big tournaments and chess culture and this may make their achievements even more special.
It's probably meaningles to look at those lists and rank one GM over another based on the time they took to become GM.
Still: good to see Karjakin is one of a kind!:)

It's also a bit strange that there is noone from chess great countries like Armenia, Russia (maybe you could say Giri) and Yugoslavia (war?) on the list. Anyway, I guess I just had to type something ^^ |

| Augalv: rotk, with so many chess prodigies and younger talented chess players every time, I thought Sergey's record would be broken by now.
I considered Ukrainian chess prodigy Illya Nyzhnyk to be a serious candidate to break the (now) Russian’s record, but he missed his chance. Good to see Sergey's record still stands :) |
|
| Jul-01-09 |
| Augalv: Speaking of prodigies, here is an article of interest appeared on chessbase two weeks ago: http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp... |
|
| Jul-03-09 |
| returnoftheking: Interesting article..lot of players whom I never heard of. Btw..
Anyone knows any noteworthy Karjakin endgame achievements? |
|
| Jul-03-09 |
| returnoftheking: stuff like this:
Karjakin vs Adams, 2008
Adams vs Karjakin, 2007
I mean, it seems people actually think that Jakovenko or carlsen are better endgame players..;) (and while Jako lost the B vs N ending we see a game above with Karjakin winning it!) |
|
| Jul-03-09 |
| Augalv: <I mean, it seems people actually think that Jakovenko or carlsen are better endgame players..;)> Jakovenko or Carlsen better endgame players?!
;) |
|
| Jul-03-09 |
| returnoftheking: ridiculous, I know.
That's why I am looking for some extra material to prove otherwise;) |
|
| Jul-03-09 |
| Augalv: This game may prove otherwise ;)
Here Sergey shows <great> endgame technique: Karjakin vs Movsesian, 2009 |
|
| Jul-04-09 |
| returnoftheking: yes, that's what I mean! Can't believe I forgot about that one. If Carlsen is the new Fischer, then Karjakin is the new Karpov!
;) |
|
| Jul-04-09 |
| Augalv: <If Carlsen is the new Fischer, then Karjakin is the new Karpov! ;)> You got that right ;) |
|
| Jul-04-09 |
| Augalv: And, of course, we shouldn't forget this game:
Karjakin vs Kramnik, 2004 |
