Jan-26-11 | | waustad: He passed on the draw by repetition earlier to get a slightly worse position, by Stockfish's estimation. |
|
Jan-26-11 | | AdrianP: Maybe White has a chance of holding R+g-pawn against B+h-pawn, so Black would like to keep Qs on. |
|
Jan-26-11 | | norami: Shipov says 50 . . . Qd3 wins. |
|
Jan-26-11 | | vonKrolock: black can exchange his 'h5' ♙ for both "b" an 'c' white ones - or still search for something stronger !? |
|
Jan-26-11 | | Eyal: Yeah, Shipov may be right:
<49…Qc3! There’s the refutation. Black is no longer playing for pawns.50. Qf4 And now, again, you shouldn’t take anything. 50…Qd3!, with the threat of Rg6-g4 or Rg6-f6, is decisive. As soon as the rook is free to move the white king will perish. [If 50. Qe5 then 50...Qf3!]> |
|
Jan-26-11 | | AdrianP: Yes, Qd3 followed by Rg5 looks pretty terminal. |
|
Jan-26-11 | | achieve: Shipov is right,, Black Queen can do all kinds of hoolahoops on the 3rd rank (even 2nd in some cases) and white is shy for moves, W-queen must leave her protection of the pawn duo, and then... |
|
Jan-26-11 | | AdrianP: I mean ...Rg4 (White/Black dyslexia) |
|
Jan-26-11 | | Eyal: No, Nepo got materialistic... Well, if you take off the queens it's winning for Black, but can Black force that? |
|
Jan-26-11
 | | Gypsy: <Eyal: No, Nepo got materialistic... Well, if you take off the queens it's winning for Black, but can Black force that?> It should be doable; the position of White king did not get much better. |
|
Jan-26-11 | | vonKrolock: the black King goes to 'h5' and becomes also an attacking piece |
|
Jan-26-11 | | Maatalkko: So has Carlsen escaped? |
|
Jan-26-11 | | vonKrolock: ... or manoeuvrate till 'f6' ... |
|
Jan-26-11 | | achieve: <eyal> He can keep pressure on White threatening on g2/via white squares and eventually win the h-pawn, after which it is curtains, even with queens on the board. White is still constrained and keeps running out of moves. |
|
Jan-26-11
 | | Gypsy: <Maatalkko: So has Carlsen escaped?> I don't think so. |
|
Jan-26-11
 | | chancho: Carlsen is lost. |
|
Jan-26-11 | | Arcturus: The black king can move around with no worries but white can only harass the black king in a way that keeps the queens on the board. Nepo has a lot of time to look for a win and nothing to lose. |
|
Jan-26-11 | | Eyal: I gather that Carlsen was also in severe time trouble (so some of Nepo's last king moves may have been just "for move’s sake"), but at least he didn't flag. |
|
Jan-26-11 | | Kazzak: Amusing Kf6, instead of Kf4 - would have preferred the latter, seems to obviously block better. |
|
Jan-26-11 | | Kazzak: But there it is, victory to Napalm! |
|
Jan-26-11 | | crazybird: Nepo, the brave |
|
Jan-26-11 | | rapidcitychess: Nepomniachtchi won, that's gonna steal a lot of Carlsen's chances. |
|
Jan-26-11 | | DEEPERGRAY: why h5 ?
keep the pawn on the dark squares .. no? |
|
Jan-26-11 | | virginmind: so carlsen got beaten by the two rising kids in group a... |

 | | Stonehenge: <so carlsen got beaten by the two rising kids in group a...> Yup, he's getting old :) |
