Sep-26-12 | | fgh: Is Carlsen planning to put his knight on f5? |
|
Sep-26-12 | | Shams: Thanks admins.
On 58...Ke6 what about 59.Nb2 and 60.Nd3<?> |
|
Sep-26-12 | | Marmot PFL: The knight can go anywhere and the bishop can't move. But does it matter? |
|
Sep-26-12 | | Edmontonchessclub: Advantage Carlsen, I think. His knight is better than Karjakin's bishop, and Karjakin's pawns seem more vulnerable. |
|
Sep-26-12 | | HAPERSAUD: looks like the knight is headed to g5, the ke2, f3 and next plan after that |
|
Sep-26-12
 | | Sneaky: Oooh, the good knight vs. the bad bishop. Classic. |
|
Sep-26-12 | | fgh: <On 58...Ke6 what about 59.Nb2 and 60.Nd3<?>> It seemed interesting to me as well, but I'm not an authority on this position. |
|
Sep-26-12 | | Strongest Force: This is dead |
|
Sep-26-12 | | Marmot PFL: Like in the Anand game black is OK because his king is so active. |
|
Sep-26-12
 | | perfidious: Black has ideas such as ....Bxf2 and ....g4; these should be enough to hold. |
|
Sep-26-12 | | Shams: Only 10s per move increment, that's pretty fast. That fact should favor Black here. |
|
Sep-26-12 | | Shams: <perfidious> Well spotted. |
|
Sep-26-12 | | Marmot PFL: <perfidious> 59...Bxf2 60 Kxf2 Kxe4 the passed pawns seem worth more than the piece tying down the king, while on the other side the BK easily copes with the knight. |
|
Sep-26-12 | | MrSpock: 55. Na5? 55. Kg4! |
|
Sep-26-12 | | Shams: Carlsen playing for a win in severe time trouble-- takes guts to put your knight on the 8th rank here. |
|
Sep-26-12 | | Alex56171: You can follow the game also here: http://www.soloajedrez.com/torneos/... |

 | | perfidious: <Marmot> Carlsen can now play for Nb5 in some lines, then I don't see Karjakin having more than a draw-not that White can win either. |
|
Sep-26-12
 | | perfidious: So much for Nb5! |
|
Sep-26-12 | | Shams: Yeah, looks like an easy draw now. |
|
Sep-26-12 | | theodor: gu nat |
|
Sep-26-12 | | Marmot PFL: <perfidious> I knew it wouldn't win for black, but meant he didn't have to sit for hours while Carlsen put his knight on every possible sq. |
|
Sep-27-12 | | luzhin: Karjakin could have broken Carlsen's grip on the position with the startling 46...Rxb2+! The point is that after 47.Nxb2 fxe4 White's rook is completely trapped. |
|
Sep-27-12
 | | perfidious: <luzhin> Bizarre but true-a neat resource. White can't even recoup the lost pawns under favourable conditions because of his weaknesses at a3 and f2, combined with the poor placement of his pieces. |
|
Sep-27-12 | | jancotianno: <Luzhin> 48. Rd7! forcing the black king to go black king to go back then 49. Ke3 and the position is hard for black to win although with really precise play it might be possible. Pity that Karjakin didn't go for that though. |
|
Sep-27-12 | | Alesavio: Carsen was lucky not to lose another game in study-like manner: 46.Rd5?? is a blunder, and after 46...Rxb2+!! 47.Nxb2 fxe4 black is much better |
