| Jun-21-11 | | haydn20: However after 18. Ne4 Nxe4; 19. Bxe4 Rc8; 20. Bd5 Carlsen seems to have he advantage because of Black's King position and the e7 problem. |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | Knightenprise: Although Carlsen does have plenty of work to do to make the black bishop bad, since after taking on e4 black seems to be able to play a quick f5 to be followed by e4. |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | haydn20: <microeight> Fritz 12 gives 19...Bc5 with dead equals (+0.00). |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | jakaiden: I don't get 18.Be4! Why give it up so easy? |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | abstract: 20...Qd4 can be a good idea?? |
|
Jun-21-11
 | | Dionysius1: Stockfish at Chessdom gives 20...Qd4 with almost dead equals (+0.12) |

 | | moronovich: Is Carlsen getting nervous ? Rcd1(instead of b4 ?!) not allowing Qd4 was simpler and stronger IMHO. |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | haydn20: After b4, I'm beginning to like Black a little. |

 | | LIFE Master AJ: 20.b4, maybe White has a small edge. |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | sofouuk: looking at 21 Qxd4 exd4 22 Rxe8 Rxe8 23 Nd5 Re2 24 Kf1 Ra2
click for larger view and black can't capture on a3 because of the reply c4-c5!
so it is possible for black to go wrong, but a +0.12 evaluation suggests he probably wont |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | vanytchouck: Hum, i just don't like Rd1 and Rxd4 ... |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | watwinc: Just checking - the probable draw will mean Carlsen wins because of the tie-break procedure? |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | haydn20: btw, it seems Ivanchuck is putting the squeeze to Naka. |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | bangkokgambit: finally, drawn |

| | moronovich: Carseln is going for a perpetual.A pitty he missed Rcd1 instead of b4.It would have given him a better position and total different game now. |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | Gordon1306: Draw in Carlsen's favour. |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | Gordon1306: Both the other two unfinished games are also quite exciting. |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | waustad: A tie-break match will be played in case of a tie for the first place in the tournament between the first two players in the final standing (according to points and the additional criteria). The match will consist of two games with a time-control of 15 minutes per player + 3 seconds added for every move played. In case of a tie, another match of two blitz-games will be played with a time-control of 5 minutes per player + 3 seconds for every move played. In case of another tied result – there will be played a last "sudden-death" decisive game with a time-control 5 minutes for the whole game for the White-player and 4 minutes for the whole game for Black-player. The White-player will only need a victory in this game to win the tournament; whole the Black-player will win the tournament by just not losing that final decisive game. |

 | | Administrator: Congratulations to Carlsen and Karjakin for their excellent performances. We're going to switch to the Ivanchuk-Nakamura game in just a minute. |
|
Jun-21-11
 | | Check It Out: <waustad> From my understanding that won't be necessary because Carlsen's Neustadtl score is better. |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | Gordon1306: <Administrator> Thanks! |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | Ulhumbrus: 18 Be4 gains a N on d5 but concedes Black the superior minor piece all the same. Instead of 19...Rc8, 19...Bg7 prepares ...f5
At the end Black has still the superior minor piece and can play to win by ...Kh8. |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | haydn20: <Ulhumbrus> I spent a little time on ...Kh8 and it seems that Black has pretty good play for the win. I'll have to see what others think. Thanks for your comments, btw--they're very helpful. |
|
| Jun-21-11 | | psmith: I was wondering about 30...Kh8 as well. It seems better for Black. |
|
| Jun-24-11 | | Ulhumbrus: <haydn20: <Ulhumbrus> ... Thanks for your comments, btw--they're very helpful.> I appreciate the compliment. |
