 | | tamar: 42 Qd4 Rxe6 43 Qd5 Qb6 44 Qd4 would fit the bill for both players. Magnus wouldn't have to offer a draw, and Saric wouldn't have to accept one after being better for most of the game. |

Jan-25-15 | | e4ia: Ding also finishes 8.5! |

 | | tamar: Poor Lev. He looks miserable. |
|
Jan-25-15 | | e4ia: It seems MC will lose e6, no matter what line he plays |
|
Jan-25-15 | | rogge: Yep, 40. Rxd7 was a mistake. Carlsen had 4 minutes left on the clock, and should've spotted ..Qb5. |
|
Jan-25-15 | | Jack Kerouac: Said it was Dicey. |
|
Jan-25-15 | | e4ia: Not so on 40. Rxd7!
It was Stockfish first choice 0.44 = |

 | | Penguincw: Just returning to this game: did at some point, Saric offer a draw which Carlsen rejected? |
|
Jan-25-15 | | kellmano: L'Ami is very entertaining. Hope Yasser lets him talk. |
|
Jan-25-15 | | Marmot PFL: Think offering Carlsen draw would be waste of time. If he wants a draw he'll let you know. |
|
Jan-25-15 | | rogge: <e4ia: Not so on 40. Rxd7!
It was Stockfish first choice 0.44 =>
Rxd7 was not the best move :) |
|
Jan-25-15 | | suenteus po 147: After 43...Qe1+ 44.Rf1 Qe2 will we see a repetition of moves to a draw? |
|

 | | Domdaniel: I think Carlsen will make a serious effort to win this -- it's what he does, after all. He has a passed pawn, Saric doesn't; and Black's a-pawn could be weak. Of course the activity of the Black pieces seems to compensate, but there's no harm in trying. |

 | | chancho: Congrats to Magnus Carlsen.
Still the BEST! |
|
Jan-25-15 | | suenteus po 147: Exchange (instead of repetition) down to a draw. Carlsen is sole winner of the tournament. |
|
Jan-25-15
 | | Penguincw: Congrats to Carlsen for finishing in sole first in this tournament. |
|
Jan-25-15 | | Marmot PFL: Well played by saric. Thought he might fall part when carlsen attacked but he defended nicely. |
|

 | | HeMateMe: why doesn't white play 42. R-e2 and try to hang on to the extra pawn? |
|
Jan-25-15 | | Ulhumbrus: An alternative to 7...b5 is 7...e6 so as to keep White's N out of d5 and if 8 e5 d5 is as in the king's pawn open game. After 12 Bb3 White's KB bites on granite and his c pawn is backward. Instead of 12...Bd6, 12...a5 threatens ...a4 |
|
Jan-28-15 | | latvalatvian: I can't believe Carlsen won this tournament. He would be the last person I would have predicted. |

 | | chancho: Incredible, ain't it?
Fresh from defending his title vs Anand too...
How on Earth does he keep on being so successful?
:-) |

 | | perfidious: Dang, <chancho>, Ah got no idea! That there Carlson wins everthang and beats off them there barrycudies! |
|
Aug-28-15 | | Mr. V: So what is the name of this kind of Sicilian? |
|
Aug-28-15 | | NeverAgain: Rossolimo Variation (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5) via transposition. |
