Mar-20-13		chessdgc2: Another interesting question is: Has Ivanchuk learned anything about clock management yet? This has been an issue for a couple of players in this event, especially Ivanchuk

Mar-20-13		lost in space: 1. e4 is not likely. My 2 cents on either 1.c4, 1. d4 or 1. Nf3

Mar-20-13		Pedro Fernandez: < lost in space: 1. e4 is not likely. My 2 cents on either 1.c4, 1. d4 or 1. Nf3> If 1.c4 I like to see 1...e5.

Mar-20-13		chessdgc2: LOL! Before we can actually predict a first move, we have to have players!

Mar-20-13		ketchuplover: Time is on my side-Magnus Carlsen

Mar-20-13		whiteshark: multiplied with the 'Chuk' coefficient it'll might end as a Dutch Attack

Mar-20-13		chessdgc2: But ok, assuming we do in fact, have players...Ivanchuk hasn't shown us he's going to do anything different in this event....so it seems logical to think he'll choose an open game. 1c4, 1d4 or 1Nf3 are not open games, but if Chukky does choose one of these, then he's had a change of heart if that means anything :)

Mar-20-13		achieve: <WannaBe: Well, CG.com changed Carlsen's pic, now he looks 15!> hehe - it's not that easy to get it right <all> the time ;)

Mar-20-13		Strongest Force: Rubinstein says: "let's get this show on the road". The poor guy has no sense of time :)

Mar-20-13		Robin01: Perhaps a Grunfeld!

Mar-20-13		Meatwad: The first surprise - I thought the queen's gambit was de riguer.

Mar-20-13		lost in space: <<chessdgc2>: LOL! Before we can actually predict a first move, we have to have players!> We do have (2) players

Mar-20-13		haydn20: OMG--the Groan-feld.

Mar-20-13		tamar: Ivanchuk vs Carlsen, 2011 Magnus got an edge in this one, but could not convert.

Mar-20-13		lost in space: Carslen has now the choice if he would like to continue during the new few moves supersolid (c6), active (c5) or hypermodern (pressure on the center with pieces; Nc6, Bg4 etc)

Mar-20-13		Pedro Fernandez: How many games Bobby played so?

Mar-20-13		tpstar: <chessgames.com> Thanks for the live broadcast. =) Is this a Neo-Grunfeld, as White avoided grabbing the center with 4. cxd5 Nxd5 5. e4 like the main line?

Mar-20-13		Ulhumbrus: Ulhumbrus: For those who want to see it, here is a link to the Houdini analysis page on the official website: http://london2013.fide.com/analysis... If you want to open the link as well as keeping the present page open, and you want both to function properly, I suggest that you open the link in another TAB and not in another window.

Mar-20-13		haydn20: Kramnik-Aronian has already settled into a Catalan-type drawing position.

Mar-20-13		Marmot PFL: I have played this before, 7...Ne4 is strong isn't it?

Mar-20-13		Ulhumbrus: 5..0-0 offers a well known pawn sacrifice on c7, a sacrifice which Ivanchuk declines by 6 e3, instead of inviting an attack which Carlsen has probably prepared after 6 cd Nxd5 7 Nxd5 Qxd5 8 Bxc7

Mar-20-13		Marmot PFL: I think Kasparov almost always played 7...Ne4, so maybe Ivanchuk had prepared something for that. I think the Qa5 lines are more drawish (could be wrong there).

Mar-20-13		Ulhumbrus: One famous example of this variation of the Gruenfeld defence was the game Petrosian vs Fischer, 1971

Mar-20-13		Strongest Force: Chuck plays the "safe" variation. Bnotvinnik played a interesting game against the teen Fischer back in 1962...I think that was the Russian variation
