| Nov-27-21 | | cro777: <zb2cr: Why Carlsen played 51. g4, instead of 51. hxg5?> The position after 51.hxg5 hxg5 is a theoretical draw. White would probably continue with 52.Re7

 | | Sally Simpson: HI saffuna,
"Nepo said he played 24...c3 to stop white attacking via Rd4-h4, as the pawn would queen before the attack could break through.
Still an odd choice."
click for larger viewWhich indeed it does but I also had it pegged as creating a passed a-pawn. I've done Game 2. (with the result of the best anagram from 'Carlsen Nepomniachtchi' competition.) https://www.redhotpawn.com/chess-bl... I expect (though I hope not) an unofficial rest day for game 3. |

 | | hessonchess: 24. Nxb5! looks promising. |
|
| Nov-27-21 | | savagerules: Carlsen has sacked a pawn early in each of the two games. So far it's an interesting and entertaining match and looks like Carlsen wants to win decisively unlike his previous two World Championship matches where they went to tiebreaks and were rather dull overall. |
|
| Nov-28-21 | | fisayo123: Nepo has to take his chances.
Ding Liren or Firouzja would have made Carlsen suffer a lot more and probably win in the resulting early middlegame. |
|
Nov-28-21
 | | HeMateMe: have you seen a lot of players making MC 'suffer' in the middlegame? A lot of such games around? |

|
| Nov-28-21 | | optimal play: So Nepo missed an opportunity by erring with 24...c3? Better options were g6 or Qe7 or perhaps bxa4
He can't afford to let Magnus off the hook too often. Anyway, a good hard-fought game again. |
|
| Nov-28-21 | | SChesshevsky: Feels like one of those games where both players leave the board feeling crummy. Nepo, being the exchange and a pawn up, probably rightfully felt there should've been real winning chances or at least making Carlsen uncomfortable. Certainly not expecting to be a pawn down in the endgame. And Carlsen can't be happy about missing the 18...Nac5 idea. Pretty much making it a two result game with white at an early stage. Guessing neither player feeling this was a "good" game. |
|
| Nov-28-21 | | The Kings Domain: Judging from this game things are beginning to cook up. Can't wait for the fireworks to begin. |
|
Nov-28-21
| | HeMateMe: Do the chess programs demonstrate a win for Nepo at some point in the game? |
|
| Nov-28-21 | | ajile: After ..Qd7 it appears that both players wanted to play less obvious moves to throw off their opponent's analysis. It was very interesting that Carlsen's Knight on d6 was such a monster Ian gave back the exchange to get rid of it. I like the fact that these guys are so friendly they can banter about the game at the end. |

|
| Nov-28-21 | | Messiah: <Brenin: Why does CG give only moves 1-15?> Some idiot requested the analysis when the game was just by the 15th move (more precisely, when Stonehenge entered the first 15 moves). I laughed a LOT on it when I saw, I admit. |

 | | moronovich: Let me recommend the site that broadcasts with Anna and Anand as commentators.They are a wonderful couple. |
|
Nov-29-21
 | | saffuna: Agree. Anand explains things well, often using examples from his career, tries to keep it light. Muzychuk is left laughing much of the time. |
|

 | | 0ZeR0: <moronovich>
I'll gladly second (or rather third) that recommendation. It's been a joy experiencing their commentary. Anand's analysis in particular is especially invaluable, and he seems genuinely interested in hearing Anna's thoughts which makes their conversation feel natural and fun as they bounce ideas off one another. |

| Dec-02-21 | | Ulhumbrus: According to the computer 17 Ne5? passes the advantage to Black while 17 Nxf6+! keeps it for White. A very small part of the computer's analysis suggests ( amongst other things) that 17 Ne5 causes the d4 pawn to be displaced so that Black's N on a6 can go to c5. If White keeps this pawn on d4 and Black's N on a6 has to go to b4 instead White can put his queen's bishop to work by Bd2 and Bxb4. All this suggests that the move 17 Ne5? foregoes a chance to make White's queen's bishop more useful for the purpose of attacking Black's N on a6 compelled to go to b4 instead of to c5. |
|
| Dec-10-21 | | Messiah: A draw, but not a safety draw. |
|
| Oct-29-22 | | DemonKing: This draw was probably a fighting one. |
