  Penguincw: Carlsen should never take risks against Ivanchuk.
Mar-17-11  fab4: He didn't. This was just a straightforward blunder in a blidfold game.

Oh.Well,at least this wasn't as worst as Carlsen's 25th move in Grischuk vs Carlsen, 2010.

  Penguincw: Rc7 is strong,but I think Rc8 is better.It forces the exchange of rooks which just benefits white.Any material exchange that doesn't lose material would benefit white (unless there's some trick involved in it).

Ivanchuk vs Carlsen, 2011 19 Rc1xNc6! drags Black b7-bishop into line with undef c7-bishop

Mar-18-11  jmboutiere: 12....Bd6 is a mistake, 12...Nc6 is the correct move, I guess
