Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-16-05  ArturoRivera: a pawn up, yet a draw, perhaps young Carlsen was afraid of Anand?
Jun-16-05  MrSifter: Maybe, but Anand has some slight compensation and Carlsen was down on time.
Jun-17-05  OneBadDog: I wonder what Blacks next move would have been. 20 ...♗e6 looks good, it blocks the advance of White's c pawn and indirectly threatens the a pawn.

Nov-04-13  waustad: Can you picture the 2013 Carlsen offering a draw here?
Aug-28-15  PugnaciousPawn: Carlsen's 12. d3 is interesting here. I was expecting the typical 12. d4.
