Jan-13-15 | | Ulhumbrus: 10 Qc2 seems inconsistent with 9 d5 in one way: it loses a tempo towards e4 supporting the d5 pawn. After 10...c6 has attacked the d5 pawn again 11 dc moves the d pawn a third time to exchange it for a c6 pawn moved once, making a loss of two tempi in return for which the recapture 11...Nxc6 also loses two tempi with Black's N. However the capture 11 dc also relinquishes White's advantage in space. |

pinning the rook! |
|
Jan-13-15 | | saintdufus: I wonder why White didn't play 28.Rc6?
He would have won two pieces for a rook after 28...bc 29.Rd4. The zwischenzug 28...e5 is met by 29.Rg6+ Kh7 30.Rh6+. I guess maybe the three connected passed pawns would be too strong? |

Jan-14-15 | | saintdufus: Thanks to GM Gustafsson for answering my question: if 28.Rc6 bc 29.Rd4, then Black has the tactic 29...e5 30.Be5 Rde8! (this is the move I missed), followed by 31...Re1+ winning the bishop. |

Jan-14-15 | | whiteshark: Daniel ♔ takes a look at this game, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFOh... |
|
Jan-18-15 | | Chizoad: The position after 20. Bxg5 made me laugh: the file of kings, bishops and pawns. 25. g5 seems highly questionable; how about a simple b3? |
|
Jan-19-15 | | tivrfoa: last move can be a puzzle. =D
which day?? hehe |
|
Jan-21-15 | | patzer2: <tivrfoa: last move can be a puzzle. =D which day?? hehe> I'd say 44...? Black to move would make for a neat Wednesday puzzle, as 44...Nh2! neatly combines the passed pawn and pin combination after 45. Kxh2 Be5! . |

 | | FSR: For anyone who doesn't understand the pun: on moves 20-23 every space on the g-file was occupied by a piece or pawn. |

|
May-30-18 | | AlicesKnight: 44.... Nh2 is a very pretty finish. |
|
May-30-18 | | ndg2: <FSR> isn't the pun more about Carlsen's prowess in the Gruenfeld defense? |
|
May-30-18 | | Ironmanth: Some brilliant maneuvering here by Magnus. Great game; thanks chessgames! |
|
May-30-18 | | nalinw: While I have no problem with the pun GSM has an outstanding alternative ... I expect there are many games that it will fit .... |

May-30-18 | | morfishine: Is <28.Rxc6> 28...bxc6 29.Rxd4 playable for White? |
