Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-19-16  zanzibar: Giri ripped Carlsen pretty good here.

Maybe Magnus helped out a little though, trying to get a little too fancy with the KN maneuvers?

Apr-19-16  Atking: 11...0-0-0 looks too much risky. I read on Chess base that Carlsen has already won the blitz tournament and tried (badly) to enjoy a near perfect performance. Giri is clever and was probably waiting for an overreaction from the World Champion. Whatever it's a blitz. 1...d5 or 1...Nf6 may have been a better way to enjoy that game.
Apr-19-16  kamagong24: no Giri jokes here...
Apr-19-16  SirRuthless: Giri is the perfect foil and troll to the World Champ. Every Superman needs kryptonite to stay interesting.
