Mar-05-09  Cacoethes: Great game by Magnus, and now the tournament is wide open again.
Mar-05-09  BishopofBlunder: Great game! If Grischuk hadn't fallen into time trouble, perhaps he could have held on.

Then again, if frogs had wings...

Mar-05-09  Kaspykov: whats going on with the dancing rook at the top of this page ?

haha this is so funny.

Mar-05-09  Wild Bill: If Black makes a move now, it is because he's in too much time pressure to realize how bad his position is.
Mar-05-09  whiteshark: Good game by Magnus! Congrats!!
Mar-05-09  Marmot PFL: That was quite a win, without any obvious mistakes by black, just a few 2nd rate moves was enough to lose.
Mar-05-09  Eyal: Now Carlsen & Ivanchuk are only half a point behind Grischuk with 2 rounds to go, it's still open.
Mar-05-09  Geronimo: <arkansaw> Not too clear a 1st place for Grishuk now. He's only a half point ahead of Carlsen and Ivanchuk.
Mar-05-09  theodor: this is the play of a future world champion! congrats
Mar-05-09  Ulhumbrus: <chessgames.com> Are you going to switch to any of the other games?
Mar-05-09  hardliner: <theodor: this is the play of a future world champion! congrats>

You said it. Tremendous attacking play from Carlsen

Mar-05-09  arkansaw: <Geronimo> It is still remarkable considering such a strong field, plus he has led for the entire event even up to this point
Mar-05-09  parisattack: Excellent technique by Carlsen - but a horribly mangled Scheveningen by Grischuk.

  collodi: Great game. A series of fine razor-sharp moves by Carlsen. Reminds one of Bobby Fischer.
Mar-05-09  Geronimo: Agreed <Arkansaw>. Grischuk and his fans have absolutely nothing to apologise for. He's been remarkable since day one. Let's see if he can keep going, or if fatigue is setting in....
Mar-05-09  arkansaw: well, there's only the lacklustre game between Radja and Domin...both players on their tiptoes marking move and time, until one guy falters in time trouble and slips into an inferior endgame. boring.

During the game I looked at the more direct:16. Nxc6 if Qxc6? 17. Bg5 Be7 18.Bxf6 Bxf6 19.Nd5! (if...Re6 20. Bg4)

Mar-05-09  Jack Kerouac: 'Razor Sharp' as is often passed around; in this game it applies.
Mar-05-09  Udit Narayan: Mr. Carlsen, you will be the next world champion!!!
