 | | tamar: <DEEPERGRAY: why h5 ?
keep the pawn on the dark squares .. no?>
Last trick. if after 65 Bh4+ Nepo puts his king back on 65...Kf7, it is a positional draw. |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | Caissanist: Did Nepomniatchtchi talk about the game afterward? I wonder if he thinks it was a mistake for Carlsen to play 1.e4. |
|

 | | Open Defence: 1.e4 what a patzers move.... |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | Marmot PFL: White could have had a draw on move 18. |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | Eyal: <White could have had a draw on move 18.> Said Captain Hindsight... Well, even if Carlsen recognized that there was no "objective" justification to play for more, there was the tournament situation, of course. |

 | | Domdaniel: <Deffi> -- < 1.e4 what a patzers move....>
Heh. If it wasn't for the missing apostrophe I'd have almost believed you meant it. It *is* a patzer move, of course. And a patzer's move. And a patzers' move. And a forced draw. Which doesn't stop certain GMs ... |

| | Domdaniel: As a GOTD pun, how about <The Unforgettable Fire> ... ? Nah, that'd be Nepo-vs-Shirov.
<You Must Remember This>, maybe. |

| Jan-26-11 | | Kazzak: Another win, instead of 66... Rd7
66... Kg4 67. h6 Rd2+ 68. Kh1 Kg3 69. Bc5 Rh2+ 70. Kg1 Rxh6 71. Kf1 Kf3 72. Ke1 Rh2 73. Bd4 g5 74. Bb6 g4 75. Kd1 Ra2 76. Kc1 g3 77. Kb1 Re2 78. Bd4 g2 79. Ka1 Re1+ 80. Kb2 g1=Q 81. Bh8 Qb6+ 82. Kc2 Re2+ |

| Jan-26-11 | | AdrianP: Carlsen-Nepo = Karpov-Kasparov...?
This game had that sort of feel to it, remembering that Karpov used to like his Be2 against the sicilian. An e.g. Karpov vs Kasparov, 1985 |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | supertimchan: Carlsen took much risk in an opening where he had no advantage and even slightly worse. |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | Kazzak: With Nepomniashi at 2732,5, I guess his rating gets a nice bump today. Does Kramnik pass Carlsen now? |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | BobCrisp: Why is this <Uncommon Opening>? |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | supertimchan: Kramnik still needs about 10 rating points to catch Carlsen. |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | Caissanist: <Bob Crisp> This happens with all Chessgames' games that were originally broadcast live. The opening name is one of the parameters of the PGN file when a game is loaded after the fact, but it's not part of the live feed. Apparently a human CG administrator has to go in later and update the opening category, which can sometimes take several days |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | Kazzak: I wonder why BobCrisp asks this of every game that is marked <Uncommon Opening>? :-) |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | shintaro go: Carlsen just gave up two passed pawns just like that. Wow. |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | MarkThornton: I am very impressed indeed by this game - it flows beautifully and Nepo played well in all of its phases. Carlsen's resistance was also very stubborn, and it is hard to pin down where he went wrong. This adds to the value of the game. I wouldn't be surprised if this comes to be regarded as a masterpiece. |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | polarmis: Here's the final version of Sergey Shipov's commentary on the game (with a few comments from his video round-up afterwards as well): http://www.chessintranslation.com/2... |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | harish22: The game reveals the psychological and positional flaws in Carlsen's game. Carlsen has won a lot of his games against the game's elite. Besides Kramnik, no other super GM has been able to handle him. Anand has lately been able to hold his own. But other established GM's have crumbled. This maybe due to their ego. But Carlsen seems to lose often when he plays with GM's his own age or younger to him. The current loss, coupled with loses to hammer, giri and his olympiad losses seem to confirm that. Anand was able to break away from players of this own generation. And that included some super GM's like Ivanchuck and Gelfand. Hope he is able to handle it. The e4 pawn "sac" was probably done so that he could have opened his bishop pair against the king. But Carlsen never got going. Nepo was able to force the exchange of the bishop using the N on g6. Carlsen positional sense seems to have deserted him when he did not fully analyze the effect of that extra piece on black's kingside. One can assume from the length of the game that it was a tough game, but Carlsen was never in it and just fighting to stay along. Not impressive at all. |

| Jan-27-11 | | okba12: wherse myearly kibitzing about the penis of nepo visa vi this of smeet? |
|
| Jan-27-11 | | Ulhumbrus: 24 Bf3 concedes the counterpart of Black's powerful Queen's Bishop for a N and creates a weak pawn on f3. Black has a threat of 24...Ng3+ but the centralization 24 Qd4! may answer it. |
|
| Jan-27-11 | | kia0708: which move was decisive for Carlsen's loss ? |
|
| Jan-27-11 | | anandrulez: Very hard to say which was the decisive move , after Carlsen declining 18 qd4 draw by rep , He became slightly worse and then he was always striving to =lize in the middle game , after Qe8 he was like -1.0 and then with the Knight in center it looked difficult to hold for Magnus . I didnt analyse too much on this game . Maybe some one can enlighten . |
|
| Jan-27-11 | | Kazzak: .22. Nxe7
Up until then he might have fought for a draw? |
|
| Jan-27-11 | | anandrulez: 41.Re3 was a blunder I read in Shipov's commentary I guess |
