Nov-15-18 | | diceman: Carlsen has the active King. :) |
|
Nov-15-18 | | ChessHigherCat: If only white had luft now he could play Rd7 but the tempo is decisive |
|
Nov-15-18 | | The Kingfish: Caruana went from being a pawn ahead to a pawn behind. This is so disappointing because I want him to win this match. No he's looking for compensation. Not a good sign, but there's still plenty of fight left in this game. Too bad Caruana has been unable to complicate the games sufficiently thus far. |
|
Nov-15-18 | | ChessHigherCat: sorry Re7 |

 | | OhioChessFan: Pawns on one side, Bishop pair gone, I don't see much to work with for either side. |
|
Nov-15-18 | | Umaga: Carlsen's long match of the king typical of risk taking chess playing and teaching us that the king is also a piece.Nevertheless, Carlsen's risky king movement got a lot of space |
|
Nov-15-18
 | | keypusher: The official website points out that Carlsen's king has now captured three pawns. Pfft, mine has captured three pieces. Of course, that was usually on the way to checkmate. |
|
Nov-15-18 | | zanzibar: I think the draw comes from the exposed Black king getting into a set of perpetual checks from the Q-side. |
|

 | | keypusher: Speaking of which: 29.Kf1 e4 30.Ne1#. You never know. |

|
Nov-15-18 | | not not: this extra pawn is on the wrong side of the board. Lekos favorite game of the match so far! |
|
Nov-15-18 | | Calli: MC's pieces are now in strangely placed. |
|
Nov-15-18 | | chessdgc2: After Black takes his K out of check, White threatens Bg5...Black just played ...Kxd3, so Bg5 causes Black some problems |
|
Nov-15-18
 | | maxi: It is true the black king does not have a lot of squares |
|
Nov-15-18 | | Relahara07: Caruana can smile if the draw comes and Carlsen should kneel down before him as the king of défense haha |
|
Nov-15-18 | | parmetd: Why not Ng5 now? |
|
Nov-15-18
 | | FSR: I think Ng5 is met by Bh6. |
|
Nov-15-18 | | not not: caruana needs to drop bishop on b1 and claim mate via chess bomb rules |
|
Nov-15-18 | | ChessHigherCat: I don't understand h5. Was that to prevent g4? |
|
Nov-15-18
 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Why didn't Black play 29...h6 to prevent Bg5, and why didn't White play 30.Bg5? Have I overestimated the threat to the f7 pawn? |
|
Nov-15-18 | | Ulhumbrus: <ChessHigherCat: I don't understand h5. Was that to prevent g4?> One of the GM commentators said that Carlsen played ...h5 because he understood White's potential threats based upon the move g4 |
|
Nov-15-18 | | Ceri: I often find my self thinking: "This type of game can only be won by Queening a pawn, so which pawn might Queen?" I think none of them.
Cheers,
Ceri |
|
Nov-15-18 | | Count Wedgemore: Carlsen's king retreat shows how misguided his whole king excursion has been, starting with 20...Kb6. His king was way too exposed, so he had to back down (starting with 30...Ke4), and more or less force the draw after the knight exchanges. Why didn't you play 20...b5, Magnus? |
|
Nov-15-18 | | whiteshark: Draw agreed, (finally). |
