| Jan-17-11 | | crazybird: Well done, Giri |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | Indiachess: Great Giri, way to go! |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | Everyone: can't believe it. *head-shaking* |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | YCP: Can we call 20. Ng5 a blunder? |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | mariola: Fantastic play by Giri. If 22.Qxb6 then :
... e2; 23 Re1 Qxc1 24.Rxc1 e1Q+ 25. Rxe1 Rxe1+ 26. Bf1 Bh3 |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | Kazzak: I don't get the "fantastic play, Giri" comments. Carlsen made several blunders, Giri capitalized - but Carlsen wasn't under pressure from Giri's play. The first error was Rd1, though one might argue that the Q has no business being on d2. Kudos for Giri seeing the error, as he always does when his opponents screw up, and of knowing how to capitalize immediately. Carlsen is out swimming again, in some off-chess world. |

| Jan-17-11 | | sevenseaman: A prodigy beats a prodigy, cool! |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | diecrazy: Fantastic Game by Giri, with my favourite opening. |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | Ulhumbrus: 14...cxd5!! offers a piece on b4. To begin with, on 15 axb4 axb4 both White's N on c3 and the R on a1 are attacked. 16 Rxa8 capturea a Rook on a8, but that Rook is protected by the N on b6, and 16...bxc3! takes a Knight with tempo by attacking White's Queen, and after 17 bxc3 Nxa8 regains the Rook and with it all of the material offered. 20 Ng5 looks like a blunder which invites 20...e3 obstructing the Queen's defence of the N, and with tempo. |

 | | Sneaky: An incredible sideline:
After Black takes the knight (21...Qxg5) White might have tried to regain material immediately with 22.Qxb6. But that leads to this beautiful (although very difficult to see) sacrifice: 22.Qxb6? e2 23.Re1 Qxc1!! 24.Rxc1 e1=Q+ 25.Rxe1 Rxe1+ 26.Bf1 Bh3

Neat huh? I bet this game is rife with possibilities like that. |

 | | Stonehenge: How does black win after 23.f3, is it ...Nc4? |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | sevenseaman: It is hard to believe 20. ..e3 may have been a surprise move for Carlsen! |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | controlaltdelete: <Stonehenge: How does black win after 23.f3, is it ...Nc4?> Na4 (same prinicple attacking the Q, only after a move like Qb3 the black Q can defend Qd7 |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | theagenbiteofinwit: <I don't get the "fantastic play, Giri" comments. Carlsen made several blunders, Giri capitalized - but Carlsen wasn't under pressure from Giri's play.> You're right, Giri should have finished off one of the strongest players in history faster than 22 moves. |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | virginmind: wow! and i mean...wow! |

| Jan-17-11 | | nummerzwei: <controlaltdelete: <Stonehenge: How does black win after 23.f3, is it ...Nc4?> Na4 (same prinicple attacking the Q, only after a move like Qb3 the black Q can defend Qd7> 23...Qa4 24.Ra1 Nc4 doesn't seem wrong either. |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | vonKrolock: At least one move shorter it could be: the ♘ had to jump after e5-e4, but - to 'g5'?? - this was by far worst than either of the other possibilities besides 'e5'. But that was not the decisive moment, not even a - so to say - "spoiling blunder", because black has already a considerable advantage: it just fastened the finish |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | fgh: <You're right, Giri should have finished off one of the strongest players in history faster than 22 moves.> If you are incapable of reading, then don't go on to post, OK? |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | mpl: Already 18. exd5 ?! (18. ♕xd5) wasn't the best descision, but the real blunder was 19. ♖d1? after which white is probably lost, since he looses the pawn on d5 without much compensation after 19... e4 20.♘d4 ♕xd5 . With 19. c4! ♘xc4 20. ♕b4 ♘d6 21. ♗e3 Δ ♗c5 he had a good chance to equalize. |

| Jan-17-11 | | DAVI DE RAFE: giri, savari giri gri |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | kia0708: To crush Carlsen (white) in 22 moves, WOW ! |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | Raspje: Giri deserves respect for the way he crushed Carlsen today. Saying it was first and foremost Carlsen's bad play does not correspond to the reality. Carlsen made some mistakes, certainly, but it was Giri's strong play that punished Carlsen. |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | picard: Will this be Giri's Immortal or does he have even better games to come? Is it too early to proclaim this as the game of the century? |
|
| Jan-17-11 | | drnooo: for me the best prodigy game ever, flat out period is Fischers against Byrne when he sacs the queen this does not have that games complexity, the moves here just fall into place, though no doubt its historicity far overshadows that one I do wonder how Carlsen looked, perhaps storming away from the table as he did with that woman player, or simply with a grim nodding handshake of from now on knowing he just may not make it to the world chumpion uhh championship after all with Giri now yet ANOTHER problem.
Grrrr I can hear his teeth grinding. |
