Jun-18-13  Strongest Force: Nak underestimated the power of the hog :)
Jun-18-13  madlydeeply: Nh5 means dude wants a draw. I predict Naka wins this. He's here to play! Naka! Yeah!
Jun-18-13  Ulhumbrus: Instead of 16...f6, 16... Bf6 offers an exchange of bishops.

  Check It Out: Be5 using the pin on th d file. But now Qc7 looks good, putting pressure on c4 that can be bolstered with Ba6. The d6 pressure will be off and Rfd8 can happen.
Jun-18-13  ChemMac: I think ...Nh5 was a mistake, because Nakamura's Bishop is going to be well placed on c3 and Nd4 will get a tempo. Thus; white may get his initiative back, with thanks

  Check It Out: Naka can conjure up a kingside attack I bet. But Andreikin can counter in the center with d5.
Jun-18-13  Strongest Force: Nak probably has more than what he deserves
Jun-18-13  MrSpock: Magnus beats Vishi in 29 moves!
Jun-18-13  DcGentle: <17... Rfd8> threatens 18... d5 and 18... e5.
Jun-18-13  DcGentle: But Black went for <17... d5> right away.
Jun-18-13  ChemMac: This is why I'd have put the B on c3 rather than d4. Black threatens e5.

  Check It Out: Lots of open lines now, this a queens and bishops aerial fight.
Jun-18-13  DcGentle: After <19. Qa4 Bc6>, Black's queen might head to b7.
Jun-18-13  Ulhumbrus: <MrSpock: Magnus beats Vishi in 29 moves!> Anand is going to have to search for the reasons why he lost. One reasonable guess is that there was at least one thing which he did not anticipate when making some choice. Carlsen gained a bishop for a knight in an opened position, and that bishop turned out to be a very, very powerful bishop.
Jun-18-13  DcGentle: <20... Bd6> looks also good.

  Check It Out: Andreikin could march his e pawn to e5-e4 with tempo, but I'm not sure he wants that pawn dangling out there. It does have some cramping effect, but could be vulnerable

  Check It Out: 20...Bd5 a draw offer?
Jun-18-13  technical draw: Some might think that Anand resigned prematurely but you don't have to be a GM to see the power of a passed e-pawn.

  Check It Out: *22...Bd5
Jun-18-13  haydn20: I hated White's opening. Black has a Qside initiative and better-placed pieces. Indeed Naka is suing for peace already, as Black can draw with 20...Bd5 and repetition.

  Check It Out: Ezzy was right, we should have watched the carlsen-Anand game. But who can predict these things?

Thanks Chessgames!

Jun-18-13  whiteshark: They have come full circle.
Jun-18-13  DcGentle: Draw agreed.

Anand's losing move was 21... Qd7, but he already had problems before. 17... Bc8 was not good either.

Jun-18-13  DcGentle: Andreikin was just too impatient in this game, he could have built a decisive advantage, but he never even developed his f-rook.

Nakamura can be grateful that his opponent was not in the mood apparently.

Jun-24-13  RookFile: I definitely prefer black's position, but of course it is not winning.
