 | | Keyser Soze: sesse gives after 20… Qa6
Score: +2.78
I will chip my bet |
|
Jun-08-19 | | Ulhumbrus: In the position after 20...Qa6 White has central pawn superiority, more space, his queen's rook is ahead in development of Black's queen rook and occupies the b file, and White's queen has access to the centre whereas Black's queen is on the flank. White's bishop is obstructed less than Black's bishop is obstructed. White's king is exposed by the removal of White's g pawn and the advance of White's h pawn but as White has more space it is not obvious how Black can make this count. All this suggests that if other things are equal and White can make all of his assets count, White has an overwhelming advantage and Black is lost. |

 | | AylerKupp: <Ulhumbrus> Yes, it's starting to look like a wipeout. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Happy Saturday! Another day, another Carlsen pawn sacrifice. Looked good back when the Black Bishop got buried on h8. Not sure White has more than equality now. Looking at 28...Qd5; 29.Qxd5,exd5; 30.Re7 or Ra6 or Ra5. |
|
Jun-08-19 | | ajile: Soon White will be the one fighting for a draw. |
|
Jun-08-19
 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: 32...Ne4 looks like a real threat. Looking at 32.Bxf6,Rxf6; 33.Kg3,Rf5; 34.Re5, but White has many (too many?) choices here. |
|
Jun-08-19 | | ajile: OK after Black's a pawn falls this should be a draw. |
|
Jun-08-19
 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: Looks like a perpetual looms--37...Kh8; 38.Ra7,Kg8; 39.Rg7+ et cetera. |
|
Jun-08-19 | | ajile: 36..Kf8?? |
|
Jun-08-19 | | ajile: horrible horrible horrible |
|
Jun-08-19
 | | An Englishman: Good Morning: OK. A little surprised. However, has the White King travelled in the right direction? Thought it would journey over to c6 and check out the view from there. |
|
Jun-08-19
 | | Keyser Soze: I think it draw now..Carlsen had a good advantage, |
|
Jun-08-19 | | ajile: Yes guess it's not so easy to win this. But Black had an easy draw by repetition before. |
|
Jun-08-19 | | sneaky pete: After 36... Kh8 37.Rd7 .. black would lose a pawn as well. |

 | | perfidious: This had to be something of a relief for Mamedyarov after the manner in which he came unstuck against Aronian. |
