| Jan-27-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: Carlsen's first defeat in this year's Corus tournament, which immediately cost him his first place! Nice aggressive playing by Motylev...
I didn't like 9...h5. Is that a normal move in the Najdorf Sicilian? |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | Saruman: Carlsen's got a fever right now. |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | Saruman: <EA> Evidently GM Konstantin Sakaev didnt like it much either http://e3e5.com/eng/petersburg/comp.... |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | freedpig: I read that Magnus had a slight fever ; he'd better cause 13..Ne5 is based on wild fever illusions and show an complete lack of true understanding.
14...o-o Fever rolling up to 105 !! its all ready over(a desent club player would win from this posision with the Nd5 and Nf4 plan.
Yes yes , i'm ramblin' wild , but i'm just very disepointed over not seeing 13...Nhf8 with an epic struggle ahead! |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: Carlsen had a fever? How unlucky, right now at his most important match of the tournament! :( I think that explains why this game was his weakest of the entire tournament so far. |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | SickedChess: The true is that Carlsen missed his tupperware and lost! |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | bane77: It is probably true about the fever. This game looks like a GM beating an amateur in a simultaneous game. |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | diction: Too bad to hear about that, but does it really explain this loss? He was almost lost quite early on. does a fever typically make a strong GM play openings like this? don´t see why it should so I doubt it.... |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | LancelotduLac: What an unfortunate lapse by Carlsen :( |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | shaikh123: Carlsen had a fever before the game and diarrhea soon after it. |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | MTal: Did not Fischer say that the Yugoslav attack was the death to the Dragon? While this game was neither, it included strong elements of both, so no big surprise about the outcome. |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | I3illieJoe: I really hope Magnus wins the tournament. His strong skills at this young age is a real source of inspiration for even a 23yr old granpa like me :) |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | syracrophy: After <34...Kg8 35.g6! Bh6> (the only to avoid 36.Qh7++) <36.Qxh6 and Black can't avoid both mates: 37.Rf8++ and 37.Qh7++> It's all over
1-0 |
|
| Jan-28-06 | | bangkokgambit: Carlsen play Sicilian badly there are no such thing like 6.. Nbd7?
Theoritically, he need to launch a Queen side attack by playing 6 ..e6 and 7.. b5 No I think Carlsen didn't intend to play Dragon. if he played dragon it would be 6.. g6 |
|
| Jan-28-06 | | azaris: <bangkokgambit> Good point. I wonder about Carlsen's opening preparation. I've never been particularly impressed with his openings. It seems he wants to try all kinds of sharp things and sometimes just falls flat out of the opening. Remember that awful game against Yannick Pelletier? Against opponents in tournaments like Corus B or Lausanne Young Masters it doesn't matter so much because the other young players have dubious opening repertoires as well, but if Carlsen is to play in Corus A successfully next year he needs to do something about his openings. Compare with Karjakin who is playing the sharpest and most topical Sicilian lines and doing a pretty good job at it. |
