Aug-01-07 | | Jesspatrick: If the pawns can be blockaded, the extra piece will win. If they cannot, then White's strategy is to sacrifice piece for two or three pawns and try to draw the R+P ending. There are many opportunities for both sides to go wrong along the way. |
|
Aug-01-07 | | Caloy: Dancing rook will be out anytime now |
|
Aug-01-07 | | Swapmeet: Here come those pawns, like the crack of a whip. |
|
Aug-01-07 | | Karpyan: Utterly hopeless and black has nothing on the Queenside |
|
Aug-01-07 | | Billy Ray Valentine: I don't know how black can save this one... |
|
Aug-01-07 | | Gypsy: Ouch. This looks desperate for Black. |
|
Aug-01-07 | | AlexandraThess: It doesn't take one to be Ulf Andersson to win this endgame :) |
|
Aug-01-07 | | weisyschwarz: So often he plays like Dr. Jekyl, and then suddenly he plays like Mr. Hyde, usually against people the caliber of Carlsen and Shirov. |
|
Aug-01-07 | | boz: The infantry! The infantry! With the dirt behind their ears! |
|
Aug-01-07 | | Gypsy: Down on material, and the knight more-less out of play. |
|
Aug-01-07 | | ruyv: Jesspatrick: If the pawns can be blockaded, the extra piece will win. How do you block 4 passed and connected and suported pawns? |
|
Aug-01-07 | | Atking: I think Carlsen has still some probleme mainly with the opening. He got difficult position with Black and not really advantageous with White. |
|
Aug-01-07 | | Gypsy: <boz: The infantry! The infantry! With the dirt behind their ears!> Indeed sir, indeed!! |
|
Aug-01-07 | | muharrem: go horse go...you will rock |
|
Aug-01-07 | | euripides: meanwhile the cavalry is trying to pretend the battle is nothing to do with them. |
|
Aug-01-07 | | lordofchess: <weisyschwarz:> That's very true indeed. Maybe he's looking for a new style for some time now. |
|
Aug-01-07 | | Jesspatrick: The way you set up blockade is to force pawns to advance, leave hole, and then occupy hole. This is possible with extra piece, but maybe not in this position. You cannot trust computer evaluation even at 20 ply. |
|
Aug-01-07 | | strifeknot: A fine game by Van Wely. I wonder how the <lost and clueless emperor> likes his crow prepared? |
|
Aug-01-07 | | daniellovesbeer: Correct! defending is hopeless |
|
Aug-01-07 | | boz: A horse on the rim can swim. |
|
Aug-01-07 | | sofouuk: about the only left here is b5/a5 followed by a knight sac on c3 to get some passed pawns. but it's not even close to being enough |
|
Aug-01-07 | | Marmot PFL: Magnus will try to stop the pawns or slow them down as best he can, but he must try for counterplay with a5, b5, b4 etc. |
|
Aug-01-07 | | ounos: Black's one (potential) passed pawn may prove quicker than White's four. It's not going to be easy for either side. |
|
Aug-01-07 | | ruyv: so Carlsen“s plan is to create a passed c pawn and then ask politly to white rooks to get out of the way |
|
Aug-01-07 | | chessamateur: James Watson would be proud! |
