Kibitzer's Corner
May-20-07  Chan: Nice finish. Of course, the score should be 45.Nh6#
May-20-07  kingsindian2006: beautiful game by radja, magnus went after the bate in the center of the board.
Nov-06-07  meteficha: Magnus made lots of blunders.
Nov-22-07  Autoreparaturwerkbau: Magnus got mated. You don't see that very often.
Jan-29-08  Everett: Radjabov does the best imitation of Larsen I've seen in some time.
Dec-01-08  mlw: After 14. ... a6 Blacks formation looks like the Sicilian Defence; Scheveningen Variation. Although the setup would take 12 moves to reach through normal Sicilian lines. Giving White, in comparison, a 2 tempi advantage in the current game.
Nov-14-10  Jafar219: <Magnus got mated. You don't see that very often.>

  perfidious: <Jafar> Is anyone you don't like a cheater?
Nov-15-10  Jafar219: <perfifious>, I don`t like Caruana, Karjakin, Svidler and etc..but i don`t think that these players are cheaters. But I am sure Carlsen is cheater and coward.

Justin as a cheater? I think its probability is astronomically tiny, practically zero.

Jun-05-21  Margetic D: <Autoreparaturwerkbau> you are right, there are very rarely games in which Carlsen got mated. Radjabov had a honor to do this 2 times: here and later in 2010: Magnus Carlsen vs Teimour Radjabov
World Blitz Championship (2010) (blitz), Moscow RUS, rd 32, Nov-18 (Carlsen vs Radjabov, 2010 ). Formaly , the game in 2010 Carlsen was not mated as he gave up, because Knoght can be used to delay mate in 1 move.

  K Any: Nice game by Rad. Sacs 2 pawns for continued pressure against Black's king. Difficult to defend.
