 | | Atterdag: <One of the many issues with the format> Agreed! Mamedyarov-So was brilliant entertainment thanks to the bravery of both players. Funny to see that M. missed quite a few better moves in the heat of the battle - according to the computer. But his position was so winning that he could afford it. <Carlsen wins after his opponent falls asleep!> LOL, but who dares to fall asleep with the champ opposite to you? |

| Jun-09-22 | | beenthere240: Carlsen’s Armageddon game against MVL is a masterpiece of positional play. JK A bout of of chess boxing would be more instructive |
|
| Jun-09-22 | | Atking: <beenthere240: Carlsen’s Armageddon game against MVL is a masterpiece of positional play.> Must be checked with a comp but my impression is quite opposite. No doubt a great fight but MVL has the upper hand most of it and at leat until he plays the terrible time pressure move 49...Nb4? 49...Kf5 50.KxN Now the King is far enought50...c2 51.Rf1+ Kg4 52.Kxa3 h3 53.Kb2 h2 54.Kxc2 Kg3 55.Kd3 Kg2 56.Rc1 h1=Q 57.RxQ KxR looks draw. |

| Jun-10-22 | | thebully99: What are the scores if you just look at the classical games and use the traditional scoring system? |
|
| Jun-10-22 | | Judah: <thebully99>, chess24.com has a nice crosstable here: https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-t.... Compiling the standings you'd like to see from there, it looks like: Carlsen: 5.5
Mamedyarov: 5
Anand: 4.5
Vachier-Lagrave: 4.5
So: 4
Giri: 4
Topalov: 3.5
Tari: 3.5
Wang: 3
Radjabov: 2.5
(in all cases, out of a possible 8 points).
Thus, in fact, the standings would hardly change under the classical system. |

| | Atterdag: MVL had the upper hand in both games vs. Carlsen, and the latter barely escaped. Only the gift 49.-Nb4??? gave him the victory after many moves in a worse position. The "luck" of a world champion? |

| Jun-10-22 | | Atking: <Atterdag: MVL had the upper hand in both games vs. Carlsen, and the latter barely escaped. Only the gift 49.-Nb4??? gave him the victory after many moves in a worse position. The "luck" of a world champion?> Totally agree! Armagedon could explain the fact that in time pressure Black made this mistake. The position is still complex, as MVL is not afraid of such complication like more pragmatic players could and draw was surely not his motivation (A 0-1 means MVL in the top 3 in the tournament.). |
|
| Jun-10-22 | | Judah: <Atking: ...draw was surely not his motivation> Don't forget that a draw is a win for Black in Armageddon. |
|
| Jun-10-22 | | Atking: <Judah> Yes I know that and of course Maxime knew it. I'm pretty sure he fought for a win from the start - even with Black - I want to show himself he is able to do it and wasn't far to realize one of his dream. |

 | | chancho: Seeing the Magnus trolls spewing crapola and Carlsen winning a tournament never gets old.
Funny, he now has won that tournament five times after Karjakin won the first two, while Aronian, Topalov and Caruana won one each. So who gets the last laugh again?
https://compote.slate.com/images/59... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |
|
| Jun-10-22 | | thebully99: Was that the best Altibox Norway performance from Carlsen? Was that the most active game between Mamedyarov and Radjabov in the last 10 years? |
|
| Jun-10-22 | | Olavi: I still don't get it that people don't get it that an "Armageddon" game starts with a winning position for black, and this is somehow considered legitimate. |

| | Atterdag: <chancho> Critical analysis of Carlsen's play in a game is not a trolling against the champ. Carlsen himself is very objective and critical towards his own gameplay. A differentiation between analytically based assessments and emotionally based hatred/bias is recommended. |

| | chancho: <MagnusCarlsen @Magnus Carlsen 5h Everyone always says it’s great for Chess when I don’t win. So today was another bad day 🥶>
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 |
|
| Jun-11-22 | | greed and death: Wow Carlsen's 2900 goal is going to be hard to reach. Finishes +3 =6 -0 and only picks up 0.3 Elo for this tournament. |
|
Jun-11-22
| | chancho: Even if Carlsen were to reach 2900, it would be a no-win situation for him in the eyes of his many detractors. You'll hear how there's a lot of rating inflation, how today's players are nowhere as good as the players from the past, and that he was just plain lucky. But it's all good, though... he'll get his just due from the historians of later generations based on his results and overall record, not bias and envy. He'll be just fine... |

 | | dempun: <@greed and death> Not that I've paid a lot of attention to Carlsen's interviews, but does he actually have the goal to raise his rating to 2900? I ask because the master level chessplayers I've known always said they didn't worry about rating. Maybe different at the world championship level? |
