 | | Sokrates: Sokrates: <geeker: A conspiracy theorist would say that the games are all scripted fakes, and that the first three will be drawn before Magnus ekes out an exciting Round 4 triumph...[Note this is a satirical post]> Satire becoming reality. Why, oh why should this match be a public event? Between friends such games are played at the kitchen table accompanied by a beer and some french fries. |

|
| Jun-29-13 | | JoergWalter: <schweigzwang: "A" beer?> and 2 straws
<Sokrates> is right - what was the purpose of this match playing it publicly? |
|
| Jun-29-13 | | Absentee: <JoergWalter: <schweigzwang: "A" beer?> and 2 straws <Sokrates> is right - what was the purpose of this match playing it publicly?> It was organized by the "Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue" to celebrate the long-standing relationship between Lillehammer and Sarajevo and, as already said, it also served as opening show for the norwegian championship. Are you folks serious? |
|
| Jun-29-13 | | JoergWalter: <Absentee> thanks for the info.
serious - just kidding around. |
|
| Jun-29-13 | | SirRuthless: Omg omg so exciting what a fair fight this is....

At present I'm using your post as the source. |

 | | HeMateMe: Pedrojevic is a 2600 player, Carlsen is 2800. I wonder if MC was somehow masking his skills in case Anand was watching? At chess base, MC says "Pedrojevic was my childhood hero." I wonder why? The Bosnian isn't a super GM. Was he a childhood phenom like Carlsen, or perhaps he gave exhibitions in Scandinavian countries? |
|
| Jul-01-13 | | anandrulez: Probably since they both won European Champs at the same time . I think 4-0 short circuit vs a GM is in general impossible in Rapids even . Ofcouse Fischer Kasparov were different , they had the energy . Carlsen also has the energy and determination to win, but in a friendly match I think the point was to just play some good games .
Lets not forget Karpov defeated Kasparov in couple of games in a recent Karpov Kasparov rapids . |

| Dec-23-13 | | Conrad93: Carlsen barely managed to get a win against a 2600+. What a joke of a player. |
|
| Dec-23-13 | | rogge: At least both players know the en passant rule. |
|
| Dec-23-13 | | Absentee: <Conrad93: Carlsen barely managed to get a win against a 2600+. What a joke of a player.>
You know it was a friendly match, right? |
|
| Dec-23-13 | | Conrad93: <You know it was a friendly match, right?> That should make no difference. |
|
| Dec-23-13 | | Absentee: <Conrad93: <You know it was a friendly match, right?> That should make no difference.>
It does. |

 | | nok: Absentee grasps the concept of stakes. It's Christmas. |
|
| Dec-23-13 | | Absentee: ...except that this isn't about stakes.
It's about the match being a public ceremony in the guise of a chess event. I suspect it would have been considered atrocious sportsmanship, and completely out of place, if Carlsen had gone all guns blazing. |
