Nov-21-16		Muttley101: BobWhoosta, thanks- thought you had mistaken me for saying that. The name "TrollKing" was a bit of a giveaway ...

Nov-21-16		Richard Taylor: <Dom> You took the words out of my mouth. I was just going to comment and ask if this was going to be a repeat of that game. Rubinstein had Bs on b7 and b6, Rotlewi who wasn't such a bad player, fell to one of the most beautiful combinations ever played.

Nov-21-16		An Englishman: Good Morning: Black did have the crude threat of 19...Qh4, but now 19...Qh4; 20.h3 and 20...Ne5 is no longer available. However, if I had the White pieces, would still feel a tad nervous about those Black minor pieces aimed at the King.

Nov-21-16		bubuli55: This might reach 100 moves.

Nov-21-16		Sally Simpson: Don't start squabbling you lot - not in the middle of what is looking like to be the best game of the match.

Nov-21-16		weisyschwarz: I wish he had gone with a classic Colle.

Nov-21-16		peristilo: Magnus is out of his comfort zone. This game has potential for a tragedy.

Nov-21-16		Anadya: Now rd5

Nov-21-16		Reisswolf: <peristilo: The engine hates Nb5. Sergey is better> Really? The evaluation on the live site went up for White after Nb5.

Nov-21-16		Dcosta: Bd5 ....

Nov-21-16		ewan14: Carlsen being Korchnoi !?!

Nov-21-16		goldenbear: <bubuli> If this goes 100 moves, I'll eat my hat!

Nov-21-16		keypusher: Reminds me of this game a little. Carlsen vs Grischuk, 2015 click for larger view Carlsen played very provocatively and got away with it, but maybe he shouldn't have.

Nov-21-16		Absentee: <peristilo: It looks like a relatively rich position to me. If it ends in a draw blame the players and their dry style.> It doesn't depend on the players' style at all. No matter how complicated the position, if a player defends correctly the result will still be a draw. And Carlsen's "dry style" has gained him more victories than any other player's non-dry style.

Nov-21-16		RandomVisitor: -0.42/34 19...Qg5 20.h3 N4e5 21.Nxe5 Nxe5

Nov-21-16		Bobwhoosta: Nb5 is looking a little bit more provocative than I am comfortable watching, at least after looking at the computer evaluation and listening to Peter and Jan hack away at the tactics. Surprising that Carlsen let all these tactics happen, especially after he spent 15 minutes on the move.

Nov-21-16		Ulhumbrus: The computer as well as GM Gustafsson and GM Svidler have suggested 19...Qg5 and ..Ne5. Another idea after 19...Qg5 is 20...Nh4

Nov-21-16		Anadya: Position heavy and they have about 2 min for each move..nice

Nov-21-16		Check It Out: I get this ominous sense of impending violence.

Nov-21-16		cow: did he miss it?

Nov-21-16		drnooo: This is polite chess at its most polite. Such respect has seldom been expressed so eloquently by both opponents.

Nov-21-16		Gypsy: <Reisswolf: <peristilo: The engine hates Nb5. Sergey is better> Really? The evaluation on the live site went up for White after Nb5.> Well Bc5 needs to find a way to retreat (threat b3-b4), and e5 is for now not available to for the knights.

Nov-21-16		Helloween: I agree, Absentee. Black is looking for counterplay in the kingside, particularly dark squares. This is the correct reply to White's play.

Nov-21-16		RandomVisitor: Karjakin missed 19...Qg5 too bad

Nov-21-16		peristilo: Reisswolf, now after Bc6 white is a bit better.
