| Jan-26-10 | | JohnBoy: <whatthefat: <Eyal> Nice point. Goes to show I didn't even calculate properly without the pressure of the clock ticking! :) > Eyal is strong and I always take his comments seriously. I'm a 2250 player and can verify that you ain't the first to have your errors detected by him. LOL |

| Jan-26-10 | | Julian713: <David2009: I seem to have lost the plot here. What is the refutation of 33...Qxc7 ?> <alexmagnus: Ng5+. Then, if Kh8, Nf7+ Kh7 Qxg6#. If hxg5, Qg6+ Kh8 Qh5+ Bh6 Qh6#.> My question exactly, and answered exactly lol. I second the thanks, alex! |

|
| Jan-26-10 | | WhiteRook48: topalov, you suck! |

He's a world-class GM and a former Fide World Champion. Who are you to say that he sucks? |

 | | Domdaniel: The game is good, but the 'battle' of May-23-09 is hilarious. With hindsight, neither of the main participants was in any sense a troll. It was a collision of sensibilities. |

 | | perfidious: < Domdaniel: The game is good, but the 'battle' of May-23-09 is hilarious....> Fine combination by Carlsen to ice this one.
Really, that aforementioned duel had its comic aspects, what with this gem, inter alia: <alex: ....But I think some ~2000 player would have solved it> No problem spotting 31.Rc7 and its apparent refutation, when it's presented as a problem-the refutation of the refutation is something else again! It would prove edifying indeed to see how many kibitzers who make rash comments (on many games here) would see anything like the amount such players do at the board. |
|
| Oct-30-12 | | Everett: A couple of other plans for Carlsen, instead of the inferior 21.a4, would be <21.Qe3> preparing Nc3-Ne2-Nf4 with pressure on the K-side. At least this makes 18.h4 make sense. Earlier, maybe a player with more of a Karpov/Nimzowitch/Adams bend would play <18.Nb1> followed by Nbd2-Nb3, enjoying better access to the weak squares on the Q-side. |

| Aug-28-14 | | PJs Studio: 33.Qd3 is quite a nasty move. Tough to see also. |

| Jan-24-21 | | Everett: This remains one of my favorite Carlsen games, when he was less-swampy and more strategically clear (with the requisite positional and tactical acumen, of course) |
