Then the Nd2-Ne3 defensive maneuver that was played in the game doesn't work and White loses a piece. He could try 38.f4, but then 38...Qc2! wins - the point being that after 39.bxc5 Qxd2 there's no Ne3, which would refute in this line of play an immediate 37...Qc2. |

Apr-26-19 | | cormier: yes ths <Sokrates> ... just trying to recap ..... |
|
Apr-26-19 | | beenthere240: I was simply making the point that if the opponent avoids crumbling in time pressure, MC is currently having trouble putting them away and waits for the next time interval. In his last tournament, he was crushing his opponents in any case. All I'm saying is that he seems to be relying right now on inducing blunders rather than finding killing tactical shots. I don't see why this distinction is so hard to understand. |

Apr-26-19 | | That Roger: At move 30 white had an extra pawn and two connected passed |

Apr-26-19 | | Sokrates: <beenthere240: ... All I'm saying is that he seems to be relying right now on inducing blunders rather than finding killing tactical shots. I don't see why this distinction is so hard to understand.> It isn't hard to understand, but where do you want to go with all this? Carlsen's tour-de-force in Shamkir was something unique - killing shots don't occur in every game. Sure, creating tension and complication to increase the chance that the opponent makes mistakes or even blunders will be something every player strives for, no? You can't win any game if your opponent keeps making correct moves, so you have to use all proper, legal means to get him out of balance. Isn't that natural and doesn't it apply to any top player? I think Carlsen is a very pragmatical and practical player. He goes for what makes most sense for him in a given position and against a given opponent. If he sees a killing shot he shoots. If he sees that his opponent is stressed by time-trouble he tries to complicate the situation, thus enhancing the opponent's stress. Clearly, the romantic way is what we prefer as spectators, but the player should be allowed to use all legal, and ethically fair means to reach his goal: winning. |
|
Apr-26-19 | | Everett: <bt240> maybe he’s having trouble putting them away because they are playing better, yet using up more time on the clock to survive, thus the time trouble. I mean, maybe his opponents have something to say about the course of the game 🙂. But mostly, I simply don’t see any evidence that he’s waiting for blunders. If he misses a killer tactical Shot, it’s because he missed it, not because of some “I’ll wear them out” strategy. So I disagree. |

 | | tamar: Carlsen in the postmortem seemed tortured he had overlooked quicker wins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZp... He admitted to being very tired, but also said not being able to put Meier away meant he would be more tired tomorrow. |
|
Apr-26-19 | | beenthere240: Good for you! |
|
Apr-26-19 | | Kaspablanca: Carlsen is the black mamba!all his wins so far were with the black pieces |
|
Apr-26-19 | | csmath: I think he did his old-time routine here. Play the game that is unbalanced having confidence that in such a game he will come on top since he is a better player than Meier. The last 15-20 moves do look like a play of a tired master but it gets it done so a win is a win. |

Apr-26-19 | | Robyn Hode: Interesting how people feel the need to constantly post engine analysis. There are several paths to the same goal. Just because a player's line doesn't match the engines, doesn't mean it is incorrect. Btw, Stockfish isn't the last word, if it were then it would have beaten AlphaZero. |

Btw, Stockfish isn't the last word, if it were then it would have beaten AlphaZero.> Hey you guy! Nice to know you! So I must to pronounce your name as "Robain"? ('a' like in ``ant''). And you surname, are you mean that ``Hode'' is an English synonymous of the Spanish ``Jode, Joder''? Anyway, I see your post some interesting. In fact this game deviates a lot from SF. Lamentably Magnus is too strong for GM Meier, and I need to apologize for this claiming as it is very poor ethically, sorry. I agree with you about those silicon machines but just partially. If you want to know a little more about those "infernal" machines", please consult with Eng. <AylerKupp>, a GM on this matter. If you want to handle these engines, please take a lot of care, as that it is, by no means, a trivial task, book it! Greetings my new friend! PS. As you may realize, my English is horrible! |
|
Apr-27-19 | | Sokrates: Thanks for the link, <tamar>. Carlsen, like any other living being, can get tired, thus playing perhaps at 80 % of his maximal strength. This has sometimes proven to be enough vs. weaker opponents and vs. close-to-equals their respect and even fear for him equalize the remaining 20 %. Carlsen can never be blamed for that - he has earned that nimbus. |
|
Apr-27-19 | | Everett: <Tamar> yes, thank you! At around 3:40 he describes his missing 34..Bxb4 as “insane” and the game as a “mess.” |

In round 6 Meier chose his usual set-up with kingside fianchetto, short castle, d4 followed by 6.b3. I think I managed to surprise him with the interesting response b5! Later he played a4, Na3, Nb5 with such speed and determination that I had to suspect it was preparation. I couldn’t see what was wrong with my counterplay, and as he thought for more than 30 minutes after my natural response Rc6, he might simply have been lured by the apparent harmony of his queen side set-up, while it didn’t really jive with the rest of his position. It turned out his position is already quite tricky. I soon got an overwhelming position despite being a pawn down. I had plenty of time but couldn’t calculate anything properly, and we both made several mistakes in his time trouble. By move 40 I had squandered most of my advantage and was fortunate to have 40…. Qe1 maintaining excellent practical winning chances despite the lack of a clear plan. He defended well until his impatient and too ambitious king-march to capture the d2-pawn. This was an important victory both to create traction after three draws and also because co-leader Anand lost to Naiditsch giving me a one-point lead. ...>
