 | | egilarne: Magnus was still 12 years old - the game was played on the 4th of October, and Magnus became 13 the 30th of November - but it was a 12 year old IM rated 2450 - - - :) - according to the rating list of the 1st of October 2003. |

Feb-02-08 | | Zygote: Apart from the comments which you guys have to make on this poor GMs name, there is not much else negative to be said about him... he became a GM (if a weak one) which is more than most people can do.... |

May-06-08 | | notyetagm: White to play: 32 ?
 click for larger view<patzer2: The winning 32. Bg6+! is a stunning deflection move by the young Carlsen. The capture of the bishop is forced.> Position after 32 ♗e4-g6+! 1-0
 click for larger view<If 32...Kxg6 33. Qh5#,> (VAR) Position after 32 ... ♔f7x♗g6 33 ♕c5-h5#
 click for larger view<and if 32...Rxg6 33. Qe7#. > (VAR) Position after 32 ... ♖g7x♗g6 33 ♕c5-e7#
 click for larger viewSo 32 ♗e4-g6+! leads to two -different- <EPAULETTE MATES>! This Carlsen is really something else: he was only 12(!)-years old when he played this game! Holy criminy! |

Aug-24-08 | | jsteward: somebody,anybody! give me a clean logical continuation to win for white after24...Rg1+! |
|
Nov-10-08 | | norcist: lol i don't know about clean and logical but here is a line that i just examined 24.)...Rg1+? 25.)Kd2 Rxa1 26.) Nxf6 Qf7 (the best square i can find) 27.) Nd5+ and then its just a matter of picking ur poison.
28.)...Kd7 loses to 29.) Bh5 Qg7 (otherwise its checkmate or fork on the next move) 30.) Nf6+ and Black will lose his Queen on the next move |
|
Dec-22-08 | | whiteshark: Is <12...Qxh2> untested? |
|
Apr-24-09 | | urigata: WOW..I'm speechless..Nice game |
|
Jun-01-09 | | MrMelad: Great game, pun for the contest: "The ace against the great ass" lol :) |
|
Jul-15-09 | | Notagm: 24... e5 was a howler by Black, opening the file on which his King was located. |
|
Sep-21-09 | | tentsewang: This young genius is just fantastic! I'll add him in one of my favorites. |

Mar-13-10 | | notyetagm: Wow!!!!! |
|
Mar-13-10 | | notyetagm: <Sneaky: This opening is all the rage at the highest levels, and the club level too. In a 15-minute game with a strong player, I gobbled the pawn and then tried the cheeky 8...Nh6!? My opponent went straight for 9.Rxg7? falling for my little trap, as ...Qf6! forks rook and knight.> A well-known trap in this opening.
9 ♖g1xg7?? ♕d8-f6! <fork: g7,f6>

Mar-13-10 | | notyetagm: <offramp: 32.Bg6+ is a Stoke-Adams attack which harmonizes the squares e7 & h5 so that they become conjugate squares.> WTTF???? |
|
Oct-11-10 | | sizu: In reply to norcist:
I like 24.)...Rg1+? 25.)Kd2 Rxa1 26.) Nxf6 Qf7 27.) Nd5+ Kd7 28.) Bh5 Qxh5! leaving a lone Queen agains 2 Rooks and a Bishop. Wonder who would win at that point? |
|
Oct-15-10 | | sevenseaman: Carlsen always comes around with heavy artillery. |
|
Jun-22-11 | | morphyrulez: I felt a chill down my spine after 32.Bg6+ even though I'm used to seeing sacrifices. |
|
May-17-12 | | Llawdogg: Magnus kicked his ass! |
|
May-17-12 | | LoveThatJoker: Tremendous game!

I have video annotated it here:

Apr-07-13 | | AngeLa: ..this game reminds me of morphy's game, way back 1850's :) |
|
Feb-16-14 | | talwnbe4: In any case, 22.Qxh7 - instead of Qe5 - was definitely a mistake, since Black would be winning after 22...Qxd4. Apparently not. I used Fruit to find
23. Qh4+ Ke8 24. Bf3 Bd7 25. Rd1 Qg7 26. Rd6 c5 27. Bh5 Qh6 28. f4 Ba4 29. Nxc5 Bc6 30. b4 Rc8 (30.. Qh8 31.b5 Bg2+ 32. Ke2 Qb2+ 33. Rd2 =) 31. b5 Bg2+ 32. Kf2 Bh1 33. Nd3 Rf6 34. Rd4 Qg7 35. Ne5 Rf5 36. Ke3 Qg1+ 37. Kd3 Qb1+ 38. Kc3 Bd5 39. Bxf7+ = incredible complications |
|
Sep-28-14 | | Bronder: Gretarsson suffers from a lack of mobility and from sustained attack began by the smell of blood in the water. |
|
Nov-01-14 | | kia0708: Helgi <Ass> Gretarsson ... There must be a mistake with her middle name ? |
|
Dec-22-15
 | | yiotta: Gruenfeld vs Bogoljubov, 1923 has a similar unprotected bishop offer winning White's queen, a remarkable trap by Black. |
