| Jan-21-23 | | Ulhumbrus: Instead of 16 Rc1, 16 Rd1 supports the thrust Bd6. The idea is that if Black moves his queen's bishop in order to prevent it, eg by 16...Bg4, that displaces a defender of the N on c6 and now at the cost of a tempo 17 Rc1 attacks the N on c6 with greater force. |

| Jan-21-23 | | SChesshevsky: Interesting that getting 2 Maroczy Binds and NA gets 2 wins. Seems comfortable with it as the opening in the 2021 game linked above seemed a pet line for him. Know Magnus has a lot of respect for binds and had the idea that he was a fan of the Maroczy earlier in his career. But can't remember why I believe that about the Maroczy and found no evidence. Feels like the 14. Ba3 exchange sac is not quite sound. Mainly because am assuming king threats after ...0-0-0 are key for compensation. Problem being the B's are facing the wrong way. Much scarier if had a Bg2 and/or Be3 or Bg3 etc. But appears Magnus makes a pretty good go of it and forces NA to play well. Which I think Magnus actually mentions at the end of their post game discussion. |

| Jan-21-23 | | fisayo123: Youngest player to ever beat a reigning World Champion? A young Carlsen did beat Vishy a while back but Vishy is not Carlsen nor in his prime. |

A young Carlsen did beat Vishy a while back but Vishy is not Carlsen nor in his prime.> Junge was 18 in Salzburg 1942 vs. Alekhine, as was Carlsen vs. Anand Linares 2009 - I think he takes it by a month or so. Abdu just missed it. |

| Jan-21-23 | | Olavi: <whiteshark> At least on mistake in Krabbe's original article: Kasparov lost four games against Ivanchuk, not five. |
