 | | ajk68: 36...gxf5 doesn't appear correct. b4 was probably better. |

| | beenthere240: In hindsight, I think that, after 26. Rc6, black must immediately hit back with 26...Ra8. The alternative 26....Nc3 looked intriguing (good square, protects b pawn) didn't address white's threat of blowing open the center. However at that point in the game, both players had about 20 minutes left. Thoughts??? |

 | | perfidious: <CHC: Everybody's always making ridiculous predictions about these guys' whole careers based on a couple games. There are so many unpredictable factors involved in a single game, like lack of sleep, or personal or financial problems or who the hell knows.> <Marmot: The top players usually overcome those distractions or aren't affected much to begin with.> When I sit down to play poker, it is all left behind; no time for that stuff. Tough enough to face strong, determined opponents without such distractions. One would think it impossible to play at the very highest levels if external factors were routinely allowed to interfere. |

| Aug-03-17 | | ColdSong: Carlsen toys positionnaly with Karjakin.That looks too easy.I'd really wonder what if I was the Russian. |
|
| Aug-03-17 | | patzer2: Instead of 31...Rc8? 32. Rxc8+ +/- (+1.04 @ 35 depth), Black appears to improve survival chances with 31...exf4 32. Qxf4 Nd1 +/= (+0.45 @ 35 depth, Stockfish 8.) However, in all fairness, it was extremely difficult to anticipate the strong move 35. f5! +/- (+1.51 @ 38 depth, Stockfish 8) which appears to be decisive. |
|
| Aug-03-17 | | thegoodanarchist: Dang this kid's good! I don't understand why Carlsen fell behind in their WCC match last year. At least, MC retained the title. That's a good thing because he is clearly superior to SK. |

| Aug-03-17 | | SirRuthless: KArjakin got into time trouble, and lost like I said. He's gotta fix that clock issue. |

P.S.: Black needed every edge he could get in this game. So 26...Ra8 = might have been what was necessary to hold the draw. At the end of the analysis of 26...Nc3, the computer shows the position is dead level (0.00 @ 50 depth, Stockfish 8.) So it's possible 26...Nc3 with strong and best play doesn't make any difference. Of course with time pressure mounting, I don't doubt 26...Ra8 would have been the more prudent choice. |

| | beenthere240: Thanks for that analysis. I remember MC thinking for about 15 minutes and then playing Kh2! Then he took on b5 and launched his attack. Remarkable game. |
|
| Aug-03-17 | | Mirovsk: Karjakin made his first mistake playing 13. ...Na6? this allowed 14. Be3!...and the Knight was poisoned... and then 17...Na4? the poor Knight stayed put until 26. ...Nc3 it was too late. |
|
| Aug-04-17 | | Ulhumbrus: If after 26...Nc3 White does not have to wait for his rook to become a target but can turn it into a weapon by eg the move Rc5, this suggests 26...Rc8 |
|
| Aug-04-17 | | Pedro Fernandez: <<not not>: How about cynical bishop c6 to take that lonely pawn>
All black pieces are in a miserable position. |

 | | keypusher: The knight on c3 reminded me of this epic from 2013. Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2013 |
|
| Aug-04-17 | | rayoflight: Hi.
Karjakian lost on time? |
|
| Aug-04-17 | | Calli: Karjakin is just too passive. The whole Nd2-Nb3-Na5 manuevre is an example. |
|
| Aug-05-17 | | RookFile: These slow buildups can be really hard to play against. |

<RookFile: These slow buildups can be really hard to play against.> Carlsen just loves this kind of game. He plays them flawlessly. The waste of tempi by Karjakin eventually allows White to plant a rook on c6, and that's it for Black. |

 | | Domdaniel: <thegoodanarchist> - <Which makes me wonder *when* Carlsen found 35.f5. How many moves ahead did he see it?> I don't know about Carlsen, but I started itching to play f5 soon after 30.f4 was played. Of course it's not good then, thematic though it is. MC prepared it neatly, getting his Knight to e5 and deflecting the Black Queen from e7. Then f5 becomes very strong. |
|
| Sep-13-17 | | anjumskhan: Karjakin didn't bother to play f5 all through the game. Black's f5 is the trademark of KGD. You have to play it, no matter what. Karjakin kept replying Carlsen which was his mistake. Instead of replying he must have attacked with f5 undermining e4. |
|
| Apr-08-19 | | faulty: SirRuthless> we should not think that it's so easy not to get into time trouble. Today (Apr 08, 2019) Karjakin got into time trouble against MC again, and lost again as well. Rabbits may get as many classes about self-protection from boas, but that doesn't help too much... |
