Jun-17-14 | | belgradegambit: Bravo to Carlsen! The Dragon has been a no-show at the highest levels and here he plays it against an expert in the Yugoslav attack. The result: Fireworks! |
|
Jun-17-14 | | NeoIndian: <belgradegambit: Bravo to Carlsen!> Agree wholeheartedly- that's more like it! |

 | | FSR: Carlsen has played the Dragon quite a bit, although his last outing with it was in 2010. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... |

Jun-18-14 | | Reggie T: Juste before going to sleep yesterday, i check fastly this game. I found an interesting try on 23...Bxg4 24. Rxf7 Ne2+ 25. Qxe2 and black must find 25...Qxb3, because on 25...Bxe2, white win with 26. Rf8++!! Kxf8 27. Nh7 mate! Réjean Tremblay, Quebec city, Canada |

Jun-18-14 | | Chris321: Carlsen like to play the Dragon,but good game by two of my favourite players! |
|
Jun-19-14 | | HighestUnrated: ReggieT - 23...Bg4 loses to Qxg6. This is the reason d5 is played |
|
Jun-19-14 | | Reggie T: Chessbase give 23...Bxg4 and if 24. Qxg6, Qe3+ 25. Kb2 Nd5+ win the queen. |
|
Aug-09-14 | | 1d410: Must've been a draining exercise for both players. |

Apr-01-15 | | Cactusjuice: Better than my standardgame |

Nov-11-16 | | whiteshark: Game related video w/ comments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFl... I wonder if we'll see such exciting games in the World Championship, which will start today in NY. |
|
Nov-11-16 | | vonKrolock: Yes whiteshark this is great fighting chess - comparable (for me) to the 13th and to some of the draws from the Reykjavik 72 match--- let's hope for the best: fearless open sharp struggles |
|
Nov-11-16 | | vonKrolock: Or the 7th from Schlechter Lasker 1910 or (say) the 8th from Short Kasparov 93 - at least one of such draws or your plata back |
|
Nov-11-16 | | whiteshark: <vonKrolock:... let's hope for the best: fearless open sharp struggles> GREAT to see you here again!
And YES, "Fogo no Tabuleiro"!!! |
|
Nov-12-16 | | vonKrolock: Whiteshark: Great to see You too!! We had not yet fogo no tabuleiro, but the Tromp is a trompical (carioca) opening .
.. Good for the match that Karjakin was able to PUT IN a cool (fresh) defense |

 | | ajk68: 23...Bxg4 keeps a slight advantage for black. |
|
Jul-22-23 | | goodevans: 15...a5!? was a novelty which suggests some home prep from Carlsen. If so then full marks to Karjakin for negotiating it's labyrinthine complexities successfully. It's nigh on 18 months since we saw Karjakin playing outside his adopted Russia and it's unlikely that will change any time soon but at least he can console himself with his 'Medal of the Order' from Putin. |

 | | MissScarlett: And that's on top of Covid. Looking at a player like Dubov, he's only played a handful of classical games a year since 2020. |
|
Jul-22-23 | | EphemeralAdvantage: It is very interesting to see that Carlsen was a Dragon aficionado in his earlier years. It is not an opening one associates with his style. The magic of youth! |
