| Nov-23-14 | | pinoymaster77: Nung natulog na ko at around 20 moves eh even pa. Checking it out, chessbomb commentary by GM Praveen Thipsay : 21... Rhd8 The tactic "plays" an important role now. 22. Ne4 Bf8 23. Nef6 GMPraveenThipsay (from chat): b5 is a good idea, but if you don't have a silicon mind, will be hard to hold it. 23... b5 Anand played the best engine move, and from a rapid analysis it is hard to see the effects of this decision. Carlsen has to take care if he wants to maintain the equality and appease the powerful attack that Anand develops. 24. Bc3 bxa4 25. bxa4 Kc6 This smells to be a very powerful counterplay on the f file. Maybe this is the rebirth of the resurge of Anand’s aggressiveness in this match, hitting the best moves according to the power of engines and the nature of the position. Now more than ever, Anand has in his hands the opportunity to be, again, the world chess champion. Precision is required! 26. Kf3 Rdb8! seems very natural, and with a great potential, creating an incredible offensive, that will be hard to avoid. Engine says: Be7 as the best move, but if Anand moves bishop to e7, certainly escapes to human analysis. 26... Rdb8 And, as predicted, Anand played Rdb8!
27. Ke4 Rb4 Vishy has lost the initiative exchanging that powerful rook, being Rb3 very obvious, but anything was determined. It was a great sacrifice anyways. |
|
| Nov-23-14 | | pinoymaster77: As conceded by Vishy's former Trainer GM Praveen Thipsay (ok sakin analysis/commentaries niya ah) eh AGE
is a big factor in the match :
"32. Nxf4 Bxc4 33. Rd7 Anand has fallen to the powerful calculation of Magnus Carlsen before. Anand's age has been a decisive factor along the tournament; we have watched games in which Anand has fallen several times in tactical fallacies. 33... Ra6 Anand could defeat Carlsen only by time, demonstrating the fact that chess continues, and new eras always succeed" |

| Nov-23-14 | | SugarDom: <Nov-23-14 pinoymaster77: Now on the TRANSFER fee, is it USD 5000 or 5000 Euros (is this $ 6000 to $ 6500). Which brings me to previous floated idea eh why not the rabid CG.com and FB/FilAm supporters of his transfer raise the money, and put their money where their mouth is? Probably 65 individuals at $ 100 each would raise the sum, each one can deposit to GM Wes' account.> I would put in 100$ if <bugabay> will do the same. LOL. |
|
| Nov-23-14 | | pinoymaster77: Hi Kap Sugar,
Baka di mabasa ng BW yan dito, tahimik pa dun, looking out for what genio and prens have to say... |
|
| Nov-23-14 | | geniokov: Madali lang namang magbasa....About the money eh labas na ako dyan.It is Wesley who is accountable for that and not anyone else business.Wag na lang nating i-tackle etong topic sa ibang forum at doon na lang sa Wesley So forum.Salamat po. |
|
| Nov-24-14 | | bugabay: <I would put in 100$ if <bugabay> will do the same. LOL.> Triple the amount and I will match it...with insurmountable amount of support from a true fan plus words of harsh truth and wisdom..... |
|
| Nov-24-14 | | spawn2: The win of Magnus cemented the changing of the guards. The old timers were hoping for a win by Vishy (me included) but father time is one powerful opponent. |
|
| Nov-24-14 | | Petrosianic: There's no evidence from the games that Anand lost because of age or time. Maybe Carlsen was just a better player. Vishy himself would probably not make excuses. |
|
| Nov-24-14 | | Pulo y Gata: In the previous championship and in this one, Anand has exhibited difficulties with concrete analysis of the lines, a fact that favored Carlsen who has no such problem. Is Anand's problem connected with age? I think partly, yes. I'm inclined to think age was a big factor. |
|
| Nov-25-14 | | SugarDom: Or maybe it was connected to their ratings because they performed almost exactly as their elos predicted. |
|
| Nov-25-14 | | epistle: It was just psychological. Older players almost always have fear for the young. It is very seldom the other way around. |
|
| Nov-25-14 | | pinoymaster77: Patalastas lang, PHI Azkals just scored a HISTORIC 4-0 rout of Indonesia to ensure entry into the Semis, the first daw in 80 years! The last Phil win daw was back in 1934 with a 3-2 win. May 1 game pa vs the HOST Viets on Friday, but sure na to the Semis with 6 pts. It would still be beneficial to finish on top of the group, then meet the 2nd placer in the other group. Sa Semis home and away format, there will be 1 game in the Phils, di pa sure kung sa Philippine Stadium or sa Rizal field pa din. |
|
| Nov-25-14 | | SugarDom: Hi <pinoymaster>, yes that was fantastic win by the Azkals, considering Indonesia used to be no.1 in SE Asia. Vietnam as host will be a tough match. They are very passionate with their football. Once, i was in Vungtau and they were having a large motorcycle parade celebrating a victory, they were really making a lot of noise. |
|
| Nov-25-14 | | pinoymaster77: Yup Kap sugar,
Coach Dooley here to stay, he's on the right track. Vietnam is itching for revenge, Azkals broke through back in 2010 by beating them 2-0 at home. Tinalo din sila ng Azkals in 2012. 40,000 fans expected at the Viet stadium this Friday! Guirado and Reichelt got injuries. Dooley vowed all his players will get chance to play, maybe some changes in his starting 11. Sigurado na sa Semis for 3rd straight time, for the home and away format there will be game here in Phils in Dec, options are in the Philippine Stadium (Bulacan) or in the historic Rizal football field. |

| Nov-25-14 | | pinoymaster77: epistle,
Also TRUE here, Ive heard many adults become wary of playing HS or even Elem kids na pumapatak, they're thinking these lads are up to-date thru chess studies via gadgets/software. Kasi mga adults eh uneasy, mainly blitz / club games sila and no chessbooks/database studies. Vishy actually performed better as a Challenger, having won a game and missing out a seemingly obvious move in the pivotal game 6, had he won that there would be much more different complexion to the match. |
|
| Nov-26-14 | | pinoymaster77: Here's the commentary part in Bobby Ang's latest Chess Piece titled 'Final Victory' : "THE world championship match came to an end in the 11th game when in a better position Viswanathan Anand gambled with an exchange sacrifice and followed up incorrectly. Magnus Carlsen defended well and won, going up 6.5-4.5. Since there was only one game left and his lead could no longer be overhauled, the last game was not played anymore. Just after the 10th game GM Vladislav Tkachiev posted the following questions on his blog: “Is Anand even planning a comeback? Where’s the aggression that would require? Why do the queens leave the board at the first opportunity? Is it more important for him to regain the title or to show the whole world that he’s capable of competing almost on a level footing with Carlsen?” Quite legitimate questions. I myself was puzzled at his choice of the Berlin Defense with Black -- he played it four times, losing twice and drawing twice. Perhaps he intentionally played into a slightly inferior position and hoped that Carlsen would over-extend? This was the same tactic used by Kramnik when he beat Kasparov in their 2000 match. In the last game the opposite happened -- Anand got a superior position and then it was he who over-extended. This may have succeeded against a lesser GM but Carlsen did not make any mistakes and he will be world chess champion for the next two years. When Anand got the upper hand he appeared very agitated, as the video footage of the match clearly show. He noted that as well -- Anand: “Obviously my nerves were the first to crack... his nerves hold up very well. I think he’s more stable overall” If we compare the Sochi 2014 against Chennai 2013, Anand certainly acquitted himself well. He is seeded to the Candidates next year and will be making another comeback bid then. Can he do it again? " |
|
| Nov-26-14 | | Pulo y Gata: No doubt he can do it again. But can he win against Carlsen in a match? Much as I admire Anand's talent and personal demeanor, I think Kasparov has got his chess psychology down pat: his level of killer's instinct is below the great Kaspy, who was a difficult opponent for him. Similarly, his need for blood is lower compared with Magnus Carlsen, who, when he is with edge or almost always even in equal position would push for more. Not to mention the ravages of age... |
|
| Nov-26-14 | | Pulo y Gata: By the way, Caruana (perhaps the next Challenger) has a different take on Anand's use of Berlin: <Tkachiev: What was Vishy’s main mistake in this match?Caruana: The strange way in which he twice played the Sicilian Defence. Already on the first attempt it didn’t go so well, but he continued it a second time. The whole course of the match in Sochi showed that Carlsen had nothing special prepared against the Berlin and Vishy should have stuck to his guns. The idea of playing the Paulsen was very bad and very strange, in my view.> |

| Nov-27-14 | | pinoymaster77: PYG,
So en toto Vishy's former Trainer GM Thipsay thinks AGE was a factor, while Anand shares its also a matter of NERVEs, mabigat yun kasi how does one overcome that? Need a team of pshycologist / mental experts team for the preparation?Interesting observation naman from Fabiano that he thinks the Sicilian Paulsen did Vishy in, hmmmm... Im in no position to comment, mga analysts mas may K For the next 'Challengers' circle' of Anand Caruana Aronian Grischuk, who would have the upperhand? Lets see sa next World Cup / Candidates Matches |
|
| Nov-27-14 | | Pulo y Gata: No, no. Nerves is also connected to age. Didn't a veteran GM mention this in one of your get-togethers? You feel the pressure more, and sometimes your hands tremble. Carlsen was more forthright:<"Anand has been a very strong player, a great champion, no doubt, but he is about to turn 45."His nervous system is weaker than before, and that was one of the deciding factors".> Note the use of <has been> and the conclusion of age. |
|
| Nov-27-14 | | pinoymaster77: Ayun ang age factor, di ko na tanda ahehe.
Si AFGM ba nagsabi? Because at present day, I tend to still separate the 2 (age and nerves) with my impression of AFGM, he has indeed aged, but seems to me steady pa rin sya, or maybe keeps a 'cool outlook'. Whats still fresh with me are the 2 BOGMs where he qualified for the last 2 Olympiads eh. But then again AFGM is an exception, as at age 62 he can still compete and keep up with the younger ones in Open competition, not yet time for the Seniors chess competitions. |
|
| Nov-27-14 | | pinoymaster77: Saka 45 pa lang pala si Vishy, and > 15 yrs gap nila ni AFGM, impression ko nag abot sila ni AFGM but maybe that time AFGM was in his 30s while the emerging Anand was in his teens... Kung tutuusin, 'bata' pa si Vishy for the sentimentalists, but maybe too much to ask for, kung sa current World Championship level ? |
|
| Nov-27-14 | | bubuli55: To AFGM Eugene at buo ng iyong pamilya, kasama ang lahat ng GETS, Happy Thanksgiving! |
|
| Nov-27-14 | | kardopov: It will be a miracle if Anand can get past ahead of the blood thirst youngsters. For me, he will be one of the past champions, no more, no less. It will be difficult for him to compete against young guns because of his age. He'll be two years older come next cycle and surely will improve numerically with his age but not with his skill. |
