 | | Gypsy: <Eggman: With reference to <Tamar's> question above, I think that if Carlsen had taken the pawn he would lose as follows: 41... Qxb3 42. Bd6 Qf7 43. h4 Kd7 44. Bxe7 Qxe7 45. Qxe7+ Kxe7 46. Kf3 Ke6 47. Kf4 Kf6 48. g3 Kf7 49. Kg5 Kg7 50. h5 gxh5 51. Kxf5 Kh6 52. Kf6 and Black can resign.> Or 47...Kd5 48.Kg5 Kc4 49.Kxg6 Kxc3 50.h5 b4 51.h6 b3 52.h7 b2 53.h8Q b1Q...

Is this a win? |

| Dec-04-07 | | s4life: <slomarko: on 56th or 57th move d5 was winning> With the idea of 57 .. cxd5, 58.Kd4, and 59.c5, 60 Qb7+ ? maybe the passed pawn would be enough for white, but I am not too sure... do you have any lines? |

 | | tamar: <Gypsy> I guess Magnus smelled a big rat, and there is one. after 41... Qxb3 42. Bd6 Qf7 43. h4 Kd7 44. Bxe7 Qxe7 45. Qxe7+ Kxe7 46. Kf3 Ke6 47. Kf4 47...Kd5 48 Kg5 Kc4 49 Kxg6 Kc3 50 d5!

and Black loses the race because of check from either h8 or c8! |

| | Gypsy: Bravo <tamar>!
If <50.d5!>, then White wins. Black has to take <50...cxd5> and White wins the footrace to the promotion-with-check on the long diagonal: <h8Q+>. Should Black not take on d5 and try <50...b4>, then <51.dxc6(!) b3 52.c7 b2 53.c8Q+...> and we have an echo promotion-with-check, but this time on the c-file. I, of course, tried to make the d4-d5 work, but too late, only after both promotions: that is, as 54.d5+ from my diagram. But I quickly noticed serious problems. Moving the d4-d5 push up to the move order to the move 50 is such a masterful solution. What a beautiful pawn ending! |

| | tamar: thanks. I found this one without my computer, which is much more satisfying, but much rarer too! |

|
| Dec-05-07 | | notyetagm: From http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt...: <More on the round 4 games later. But did Adams miss a win in the second game against Carlsen? It looks like he has a winning king walk with 65.Ka5! and Black is in zugzwang. True, he can threaten mate or give a few checks, but it looks like the white king can make it all the way up the board and Black is out of moves. Can't find a draw.> |

| Feb-04-08 | | notyetagm: Does anyone know if Carlsen's -stupendous- game-drawing tactical shot 78 ... ♗e7xc5+!! made it into the latest edition of that the endgame tactics compilation from New In Chess? The one that won the 2006 BCF Chess Book Of The Year Award. I just read that a 3rd edition was recently published (January 2008). Carlsen's 78 ... ♗e7xc5+!! deserves to be in it. Thanks

| Feb-04-08 | | Eyal: <luzhin: 79.Kxc5 Qd5+ 80.Kb4?? c5+ is Carlsen's diabolical idea, exploiting the 'loose' queen on a8.> Btw, if White plays 80.Kb6 instead, Black forces a perpetual check by Qb3+ 81.Ka7 Qa3+ 82.Kb8 Qf8+ 83.Kb7 Qb4+ etc. - but not 80...Qb5+??
81.Ka7 Qa5+ 82.Kb8 Qd8+ 83.Kb7 (or 82...Qb5+ 83.Qb7+) running out of checks. |

| Feb-04-08 | | notyetagm: <Eyal: ... Btw, if White plays 80.Kb6 instead, Black forces a perpetual check by Qb3+> Yes, and since a draw would win the match for Carlsen, 78 ... ♗e7xc5+!! is a brilliant match-winning (not game-winning) move. |

| Nov-29-10 | | hedgeh0g: <What is the difference between this "Marshall-Chigorin" Gambit and the "true" Marshall Gambit?> If nothing else, the absence of textbooks full of theory and exhaustive analysis on drawn lines is surely a reason for opting for this "variation" of the Marshall. |

| Apr-06-13 | | zebekias: Adams had the right idea with 65. h5 but he didn't execute the win. Actually he had the win from move 64: 64. h5 gxh5 65. Qxh5+ Ke7 (65. .. Kg8 66. Kb4 Be7 (66. .. Bh6 67.
