Mar-09-10  technical draw: Aaarggh!. I was following Carlsen's moves in this game for a game I'm playing on GK and now I check it and find out he's only 10 years old! Oh, well, white should have resigned when he lost the piece.

  Check It Out: <td> That's funny, I came here for the same reason.
Apr-18-16  Sergash: I checked the game with Komodo 9.2 64 bits.

Apparently the first imprecision in the game was <7.Ne2?! Nxf4 8.Nxf4 c6 > and Calrsen already has the better position!

Instead, White could have played 7.Bg5 h6 8.Bh4 = Ahmad Najjar (2245) vs Nabil Saleh (2180), Asian Championship 1996 in Dubaï (United Arab Emirates), 0-1

<12...e4??> A terrible mistake!

12...f5! and now :

A) 13.Nxe5 Bxe5!
A1) if 14.Qh5? (threatening Qh5-h7#) Bxh2+! 15.Qxh2 (not 15.Kxh2?! Qc7+! 16.f4 Qg7! 17.Rf3 (or 17.Qg5 Rf6! 18.Bh5 Be6 ) Nd7 18.Rg3 Nf6 19.Bh7+! Kh8 20.Rxg7 Nxh5 21.Rc7 Ng7! 22.Bg6 Kg8!

A2) 14.dxe5 Kg7 15.Bh5 Qh4 16.Be2! Be6! 17.f4 Rh8! 18.h3 Na6!

B) 13.dxe5! dxc4 14.Qe2! Qe7 15.Rad1 =

<13.Nd2??>

Funny how a mistake is often answered by another mistake! 13.Nh4! (with the terrible threat of Qd1-h5) Re8 14.Qh5 Kf8 15.f3! winning.

<13...f5??>

Wow! The only playable move was 13...Bh6 / with a big and possibly winning advantage!

<14.cxd5??>

Only move: 14.Qh5 Rf6 15.f3! Qd6! 16.c5! Qe6 17.Bh7+ Kf8 18.fxe4! Qf7! 19.Qxf7+ Rxf7 20.Bg6! Bh6 21.Rae1 Re7! 22.e5

<14...cxd5??> Played the recapture automatically withought much thought?

14...Qg5! winning, as the white bishop is trapped.

<15.Rc1?? Nc6 >

Only move was again 15.Qh5 (threat Qh7#) Rf6 16.f3 Qd6! 17.Bh7+! Kf8 18.fxe4! Rh6 19.Rxf5! Bxf5 20.Qxf5+ Bf6 (or 20...Ke8 21.Qc8+! Qd8 22.Qxb7 Nd7 23.Bf5 Rd6! ) 21.e5 Qd7 22.Rc1! Qxf5 23.Bxf5 Bg7! 24.Rc8+! Ke7! / =

Apr-18-16  Sergash: <16...Nb4?>

Black was still winning after, for example:

16...Rf6 17.Bh5 a5
or 16...Qd6 17.Bh5 Nb4

<17.Ra1??>

The comedy continues: 17.Qh5! Rf6 18.f3! Nd3! followed with Qd6.

<17..Nd3??>

17...Qd6! 18.Bh5 f4 winning.

<18.Rb1??>

Again, and again, and again and again, the only move was: 18.Qh5 Rf6 19.f3 Qd6! 20.Bh7+ Kf8 21.fxe4 Rh6! 22.Rxf5+ Bxf5 23.Qxf5+ Ke7! 24.e5! Nxe5! 25.Rf1! Bf6 26.dxe5 Qxe5

After that, Viljanen won't have another chance of saving this game!
