| Jan-14-12 | | elnanes23: carlsen play was flawless. Very Impressing! |
|
| Jan-14-12 | | mrbasso: Gashimovs openings with black are still too risky for the elite and 18...Kh8? is as bad as it looks. why not 18...b5,
the most natural move in the world ? |
|
| Jan-14-12 | | maxx4.68: Excellent endgame by Carlsen! |
|
| Jan-14-12 | | LucB: Is Carlsen going to crack 2851 this year? |
|
| Jan-14-12 | | JoergWalter: <LucB: Is Carlsen going to crack 2851 this year?> yes |
|
| Jan-14-12 | | notyetagm: <JoergWalter: <LucB: Is Carlsen going to crack 2851 this year?> yes> This year? Next week!
Yes, I was once a Carlsen skeptic but now I have become a <TRUE> <BELIEVER>. |

|
| Jan-14-12 | | checkmateyourmove: it looks like carlsen got everything he wanted out of his opening which is deadly for his opponent. |

|
| Jan-14-12 | | ajile: <mrbasso: Gashimovs openings with black are still too risky for the elite> If this is true then why did Carlsen delay d4 to avoid Gashimov's pet Modern Benoni lines? By playing 1.c4 and subsequent moves White subtly avoids Black's favorite Benoni lines and steers the opening into a game where White has all the positional pluses. Brilliant and strategical play by White to throw Black off balance. |
|
| Jan-14-12 | | Ezzy: <ajile: Brilliant and strategical play by White to throw Black off balance> Brilliant Indeed! As soon as Gashimov played 28...e5, I truly believe that Carlsen thought he was going to win. All the tactics was basically forced, and that left Carlsen with a nagging edge which he converted to a win in classy style. Carlsen is no stranger to winning English symmetrical games. Didn't he destroy Aronian in the 2007 Candidates in an A30 Opening. Carlsen's piece manouevering is mindboggling. There's something uniquely special about this young man. |

 | | Penguincw: Gashimov lost to Carlsen now. |
|
| Jan-14-12 | | visayanbraindoctor: Carlsen's accurate positional style is particularly effective against Gashimov's wait and see strategy from an inferior position. Notice Carlsen never gave black a chance for counterplay. When there was no clear way to a large advantage, Carlsen simply played solid moves that retained his small edge while giving black chances to commit little mistakes. In this way, all throughout thew game, white's advantage steadily grew until it became overwhelming. |
|
| Jan-14-12 | | mrbasso: 1.Gashimov does not always play Benoni.
2.The hedgehog is strategically at least as risky.
Gashimov was thrown off balance by 16.Rd2, a move almost never played before and maybe never by players above 2500. 16.b3 is standard. |

| Jan-14-12 | | hoodrobin: Game boy not bad! |
|
| Jan-14-12 | | wordfunph: "I was slightly better from the opening then we got an endgame with three pawns each and opposite coloured bishops, it looked pretty drawish but I had a passed pawn and my pieces were a little more active. Then he went wrong at some point, he tried to create a mating net round my king but it turned out there was nothing there and then he had just misplaced his pieces and after that I gained a kind of a bind, his knight couldn't move and from then on it was not so difficult." - Magnus Carlsen

|
| Jan-14-12 | | twinlark: <51...h5> draws, by allowing fluidity on the king side, rather than being locked in and having to shed pawns to break out. |
|
| Jan-15-12 | | ajile: <mrbasso: 1.Gashimov does not always play Benoni.> This is true but it is preferred.
And he will even transpose into it from non 1.d4 openings. 1.Nf3.
A Giri vs V Gashimov, 2011 |
|
| Jan-15-12 | | ptrckmackay: Why Gashimov in the eleventh move did not played BxNc3. Why? Can someone explain me why he castle instead of taking the knight on c3? |
|
| Jan-15-12 | | SimonWebbsTiger: castles, like, 11...Bxf3, is also a theory move |
|
| Jan-15-12 | | Ezzy: In the Carlsen interview, (Tata website) Magnus stated that his idea of doubling rooks on the 'd' file with the queen on a2 was an idea from Ulf Andersson (The ultimate 1 Nf3 player) I checked through some of Ulf's A30 games and there it was - Ulf Andersson vs Seirawan, 1982 Carlsen v Gashimov - after 25 Rcd2

|
| Jan-15-12 | | Ulhumbrus: 28...e5 weakens the white squares.
Perhaps Gashimov thinks that as White has not managed to gain anything he should be able to play for a win. If so, this suggests a very interesting question: If White has not found a way to make progress, does it follow necessarily that Black should be able to find a way to make progress? On the face of it, not. However the position warrants a further look at. The transaction begun by 32...d5 leads to an ending where White's passed b pawn is more valuable than Black's h6 pawn. |
