Oct-15-10 | | Fiberking: Anand's 38. Qb6 looks suboptimal, allowing white to play Qh4, simplifying the position and alleviating the pressure. 38. Nf3 was called for. |
|
Oct-15-10 | | Marmot PFL: Going right after d6 looks dangerous. Maybe there was nothing better. With queens on Magnus will surely find some tactics just like Kasparov would have. |
|

 | | e4ia: Qh4 seemed a bit "safer" to me with counterplay now in any case |
|

 | | Domdaniel: "slomewhere"?? ... aaargh. |
|
Oct-15-10 | | Marmot PFL: They made time control. 41 Nf3 seems the only way for white to keep any chances. |

 | | tamar: well we will see if Magnus is really a genius. Can he outcombine a Vishy with an hour to think, or will he go down after White calmly defends the threats? |

 | | ketchuplover: Qh5 looks interesting eh? |
|
Oct-15-10 | | ajile: ..Qh4
.28 |
|
Oct-15-10 | | Ulhumbrus: Onw way for Black to lose is 38...Nxh3 39 Rxf7 Rxf7 40 Ra8 Rf8 41 Nxd6 Qh4 42 Nf3 Rxf3 43 Rxc8+ Rf8 44 Rxf8 Bxf8 45 gxh3 |

 | | Gypsy: One for the 2N! |
|
Oct-15-10 | | ajile: Rybka liked exf4 better for Black. |
|

 | | whiteshark: ah, extra time for a ♘ shift. |
|
Oct-15-10 | | TechnoGuyRob: Carlsen missed a hard to spot draw:
40. ... exf4 41. Rff3 Bg4 42. Nxd6 Rd7 43. Rfb3 f3 44. N6c4 fxg2 45.
Rg3 Be2 46. Qe6+ Rdf7 47. Nd6 Bd4 48. Rxg2 |
|
Oct-15-10 | | Anatoly21: After 41.Rxf4, it seems like White won't have any more anxiety attacks. |
|
Oct-15-10
 | | vonKrolock: To take in 'd6', but giving 'e4' in exchange with 41.♘f3 etc is not the best idea for white now ... The ideal scenario would be to take in 'd6' keeping 'e4' |
|
Oct-15-10
 | | Eyal: In case of 41.Nf3 Qh5, Anand would have to consider ...Bxh3 ideas for Black, in addition to ...Rxe4. |
|
Oct-15-10 | | Marmot PFL: I think black has enough to draw in any case. If white plays Nf3 to avoid the rook trade than Qh5 with g5-g4 give a good attack. |

 | | Chessgames Bookie: Think you know how this game will end? I'll be taking wagers on it for the next 20 minutes: Bilbao Rd 6: Anand vs Carlsen: IN GAME BETTING
In the event that the game ends before the betting closes, all bets are off. |
|
Oct-15-10 | | ajile: Black's k-side pressure compensates for White's attack on the q-side and middle. Dynamically equal position. But one mistake could be fatal for either side. |
|
Oct-15-10
 | | vonKrolock: nice variation by Zagrebelny in case of 40...exf4 instead of the text move: 41.♘xd6 ♕g3 42.♖xg3 fxg3 43.♔xg3 ♗e5 44.♔h4 ♖xf2 45.♘xc8 ♗f6 46.♔g3 ♗e5 etc, with a forced draw |
|
Oct-15-10
 | | Check It Out: Who's that shyster? Okay I bet 100 on a draw |
|
Oct-15-10 | | Marmot PFL: I bet draw. No way can Anand beat young genius twice. |
|
Oct-15-10
 | | Eyal: ...Another nice side-line mentioned on chesspro: 41. Nf3 Qh5 42. Qxd6 Bxh3 43. gxh3 Rxf3 44. Qe6+ Kh8 45. Rfxf3 Rxf3 46. Ra8+ Rf8 47. Rxf8+ Bxf8 - and here 48. Qxe5+?? doesn't win but actually loses because of 48...Qxe5+ 49. Nxe5 Bd6. |

 | | Sneaky: Cool thanks Chessbookie, suddenly this game got more interesting. GO VISHY!!! |
|
Oct-15-10 | | uscfratingmybyear: Re the Q side pieces, the kt on Q2 is a rock and the rook on a3 does sturdy yoeman chores safeguarding h3. |
