| Sep-03-08 | | FHBradley: Magnus really is världens bästa Carlsen. Extremely impressive for a Norwegian, IMO. |
|
| Sep-03-08 | | Open Defence: would love to workshop this game |
|
| Sep-03-08 | | Orlin Burov: Världens bästa,yes.
Congrats MC!
|
|
| Sep-03-08 | | Hortensius: This one deserves to be in the "notable games" collection of Carlsen... |
|
| Sep-03-08 | | rogge: It will be, if enough people put the game in a game collection :) |
|
| Sep-03-08 | | acirce: <Hard to say what happened, but it appears Aronian just ran out of ideas once he had obtained a positional bind.> Yes. I thought Carlsen was about to get crushed, but at closer inspection it wasn't ever that bad. On ICC, "everyone" wanted 17.Nc4, the computer addicts as well as the GM's, but the question is how much White gets after Black gives the exchange as in <whiteshark>'s line. |
|
| Sep-03-08 | | Open Defence: actually "The Levon Daylights" would be a better pun |
|

 | | Domdaniel: Or <The Levon Helm> ...? |
|
| Sep-03-08 | | Alphastar: The middlegame (2 knights versus 2 bishops) reminded me of this great game: Psakhis vs Speelman, 1987 |
|
Sep-03-08
| | Domdaniel: <Alphastar> Thanks - a great game between great players. To my shame, I've agreed draws in positions like the one Speelman reached, solely out of fear of Bishops. Episcophobia, I think it's called. |

 | | kevin86: A funny game-first,it looked like white had a large advantage in space and momentum. Then the exchanges followed and black had a passed pawn in a tough queen ending (the volume of pawns opn both side being so important for black-one pawn vs nothing is a dead dog draw.) Finally,black abandons the passed pawn to go right for the throat-a mating attack. |
|
| Sep-03-08 | | ajile: I kept asking myself what's White's plan? Seemed to have some pressure then Black ends up with his nice a pawn on the q-side. Plus the whole 7.Nc2 idea seemed strange. This piece seems misplaced on this square. |
|
| Sep-03-08 | | DarthStapler: I swear I will eat my own hat if Carlsen never becomes world champion |
|
| Sep-03-08 | | twinlark: <Darth>
When would that become obvious? |
|
| Sep-03-08 | | DarthStapler: When he dies or drops off the top 100 |
|
| Sep-04-08 | | notyetagm: <metatron2: <notyetagm> Aronian didn't blunder, he was simply outplayed by Carlsen's amazing ability to concurrently combine the most accurate defense with a strong attack.
How many players in the world could actually hold the position resulted from the opening against Aronian? Not more then a handful I would say, but to win it?!> Is this the greatest game that Carlsen has won to date? |

He gives up one plan as soon as a stronger plan becomes obvious to him, while patzers like me tend to stick with one plan until the bitter end. |
|
| Sep-04-08 | | notyetagm: <whiteshark: Labs output after <17.Nc4!>:> Yes, all the annotators point out that Aronian missed the *much* stronger continuation 17 ♘a3-c4!. |
|
| Sep-04-08 | | mrbasso: This game seems here a bit overestimated to me.
Carlsen snapped a pawn, luckily for him Aronian played several second best moves and he won. 29.Ra4 looks like an easy draw for white to me, or did I miss something? |
|
| Sep-20-08 | | Black Pawn: As "whiteshark" points out, 17.Nc4, may be a stronger move in the position after black's 16th move. The idea is to give a trap to the rook and win an Exchange, after the continuation 17...Rxe2, 18.Qd1 Ba6 19.Qxe2. |

Qc2+ as played is at least equally good or better than the immediate 29.Ra4?, as it follows: 29.Ra4 Qe1+ 30.Kg2 Rd1 |
|
| Nov-25-13 | | talwnbe4: 17. Nc4 Rxe2 18. Qd1 Ba6! 19. Qxe2 d5 (exchange sac) and the game is in dynamic balance. Fruit (computer engine) doesn't like 28. Qc2+ instead preferring 28. Ra4. Evaluation changes immediately to white losing after 28. Qc2+ ? losing a pawn. Longer analysis shows the game is even after 28. Ra4. 39... Qb4 is better than 39.. Qe5 48. Kh2? doesn't hold out as long as Qg8+. |
