| Dec-07-21 | | optimal play: <bounce back after two devastating defeats> Fischer/Spassky
Korchnoi/Karpov
Steinizt/Zukertort
Kasparov/Karpov
All of the above had much longer matches, even unlimited in some cases. They had plenty of time to work out their problems and make up the deficit. Nepo only has six games left, five if Carlsen can draw from here on. It's possible, but time is against Nepo. |

| Dec-07-21 | | weisyschwarz: Will he stay with the Petrov, or will we see a Sicilian? |
|

 | | WannaBe: Kramnik used to deploy Petrov as draw/win opening, if Nepo can't draw with Petrov, win with Sicilian will be even more difficult. (This is purely based upon my opinion...) As Sicilian is a double-edged sword/opening, one mistake will doom the player. And Big Bad Mag will make you pay for the tiniest mistake, until it become +3.00 |

|
| Dec-07-21 | | Caissanist: Many historical players have bounced back from two tough losses, but Carlsen has only lost two out of the 48 games played in his previous WC matches. Compared to other world champions, his outstanding attribute is his consistency; he does not win the majority of tournaments he plays in but he's always close, I can't remember him having a truly bad tournament since well before he became champion. The only way he loses this is if he has his worst meltdown in at least a decade. |
|
| Dec-07-21 | | fabelhaft: <he does not win the majority of tournaments he plays in but he's always close> I think he does win most of them over all, apart from the last two years http://www.chessfocus.com/tournamen... |
|
| Dec-07-21 | | fabelhaft: If the linked stats are correct, Carlsen has won 38 (and not won 23) of his last 61 tournaments. |
|
| Dec-07-21 | | AlicesKnight: I still admire the way Carlson kept his Q more centralised and powerful compared with Nepo's consort - MC both blocked the possible perpetuals and controlled the centre, as well as backing the passed pawns. For an ordinary player like me, this was instructive; a won game still has to be won. |

 | | Tabanus: Carlsen's worst after 2013 must be Norway Chess (2015). |

 | | scutigera: <Mississaugan, diceman>: Fischer did come back after those two defeats, but I don't think he doubted his ability to come back after a loss when Spassky still had to get eleven more wins, and I don't think he was devastated at all by the loss he incurred for not showing up. Moreover, Bobby was already being eaten alive by his inner demons - this match was the last serious chess he played for twenty-five years. It's true that winning the world championship the way he did was yet another jewel in Fischer's crown, but comparing a chessplayer's psychology to Bobby Fischer's is like using a live rattlesnake as a tape measure. |

| Dec-09-21 | | VerySeriousExpert: After 7.Nd2 Yury V. Bukayev recommends 7...Qh4! ( https://jeromegambit.blogspot.com/2... ). |

| Jan-15-22 | | Refused: <moronovich: <you are right! but there was only one man who was as stubborn and grumpy as Korchnoi, and that was Korchnoi! LOL> I think there was a kind of saying among GM´s, that if you weren´t insulted by Kortchnoi, you were not a real chessplayer ;).> Wasn't that saying about Dutch GM Hein Donner? I vaguely recall one of the German GMs of the day once adding tongue in cheek, that Donner cursed him over his poor Dutch being an insult to his ears (thus him meeting that threshold). |

 | | FSR: I love how every square on the d-file is occupied after 8...Bd6. |
|
| Mar-01-24 | | RookFile: Pure symmetry. |
|

| | FSR: Stockfish 16 says that best is 7...f5! (which almost no one plays) 8.O-O Qf6! 9.Nf3 Bd6. Now if 10.Ne5!?, a pawn sac recommended by Jan Gustafsson and Vjekoslav Nemec in their Chessable course <Gustafsson's Aggressive 1.e4 - Part 1>, taking the pawn is OK but gives White more than enough play, but instead 10...O-O-O! is equal. |
