Sergash:  click for larger viewAfter <32...Qxg4 33.Nxg4?!> instead of the automatic recapture of the queen, there was the very nice 33.Nxf7+! Kg7 34.Nxd8! Qxd1+ (only move as 34...Qd7?? would lose to 35.Nb6! ) 35.Rxd1 Rxd8 36.Nxc7 Rxd1+ 37.Bxd1 Bxf2 = with a possible draw in view! <33...Bxd5?! 34.cxd5 = > Carlsen would have had the better position after 33...h5! 34.Nge3 (or 34.Nh2 Kg7! ) Rd6! 35.h4!  <35...Rd6 36.Rc2 > This move cuts the bishop on c5, which cannot come back on d6 to support c7. 35...Bd4! / = <37...Bc3?! 38.Ne3! > 37...h5! 38.Nh2 (or 38.Ne3 c5! ) c5  <38...c6?! 39.Bxa6 (as mentioned by wordfunph!)> Carlsen was on the edge of a cliff now. Hope was in 38...f5! 39.Nd1! fxe4 (or 39...Bd4 40.Rxc7! Rxc7! 41.Rxc7 fxe4! 42.Bxe4 Kf8 ) 40.Bxe4 Bd4! 41.Rxc7 Rcd8  <39...Rc7?!> Lost position, but still better was 39...Rb8 40.dxc6! Rxc6 41.Bd3!  <40.Bc4?> Time pressure? This move lets Carlsen slip away... or at least gave him a chance to do so! 40.dxc6!  <40...cxd5? 41.Nxd5 > Carlsen let his chance go away... 40...Ng5! 41.f3 Bd4 42.Re1 c5  <42...Rdc6? 43.Ra2 and it is all over> 42...Rxc4 43.bxc4 Rxa6 would allow to play a few more moves, but this was hopeless still... After this game, Carlsen had a score of 0.5 out of 5 games... All players were masters, international masters etc. A very tough tournament for a 10 year old kid with no title and no experience... |
