 | | Sally Simpson: Carlsen having a think after 21...Qd6+.
22.e5 you have to give square (d5) to get squares )everything on the b1-h7 diagonal). 22...BQ moves and g5. cross fingers, shrug shoulder and just do it. |

 | | keypusher: One of the commentators just handed Carlsen a white feather. |
|
| Jan-13-20 | | Pedro Fernandez: Strange Xiong didn't prefer controlling d5-square, ...Na5 is not so bad, though. |
|
| Jan-13-20 | | watwinc: To the people getting hysterical about moving kingside pawns (in front of a castled king), Carlsen is reportedly working intensively with AlphaZero ideas... |
|

 | | Mateo: 22... Na5 seems to prepare ... Nc4. |

 | | eternaloptimist: Xiong has played well in this game so far but I noticed that he doesn’t have any of his pieces on the ♔side to help defend his ♔ (not including ♙s obviously). Carlsen is definitely aiming for a Kside attack so Xiong needs to prepare for this. |
|
| Jan-13-20 | | Pedro Fernandez: <<Mateo>: 22... Na5 seems to prepare ... Nc4.> That's correct! |
|
| Jan-13-20 | | Pedro Fernandez: So that <Mateo>, I like Bd3. |
|
| Jan-13-20 | | WorstPlayerEver: Downside of 20. Bb1, White now has to defend c4 |
|
Jan-13-20
| | eternaloptimist: <Mateo & Pedro Fernandez> Yeah the idea behind ...♘a5 is obviously...♘c4 but like u said <Pedro> ♗d3 is the move & it will nip that idea in the bud. Not that ...♘a5 is a bad move but it’s easy to prevent ...♘c4. |

<"I'm a fan of Petrosian so I prefer Black. Tigran would never have moved his kingside pawns as white has done."> White has just played 19.h2-h4.

| Jan-13-20 | | vonKrolock: Pawn 'd4' is hanging... Under this scenario the advances in 'g' and 'h' looks nonsense |
|

 | | perfidious: The Streak looks in some danger at the moment; Carlsen will have to defend manfully to hold the half-point. |
|
Jan-13-20
| | Sally Simpson: Look what's happened to this game. Again Carlsen goes into a pawn down ending. He should have played e5 in answer to that Qd6+. Byee! (I don't do endings.) |
|
| Jan-13-20 | | Pedro Fernandez: I did a walk for the park and Firouzja has a good chance to defeat Artemiev. It's incredible this kid. |
|
Jan-13-20
 | | moronovich: Firouizja will be in the sole lead today ! |
|
| Jan-13-20 | | Messiah: <perfidious: The Streak looks in some danger at the moment; Carlsen will have to defend manfully to hold the half-point.> I don't see any significant problems in White's camp, if not the bishops of the same colour. By a 2850+ against a ~2700 this is definitely holdable. According to my bitter experiences, this can even be a 1-0 uncomfortably easily. |
|
| Jan-13-20 | | vonKrolock: Carlsen now have an advantage. 'b6' will fall,band then both 'a6' and 'h6' are in danger. |
|
| Jan-13-20 | | Count Wedgemore: There is no way even Carlsen can win this. |
|
| Jan-13-20 | | vonKrolock: Yes, Xiong was able to keep the balance. |
|
| Jan-13-20 | | chessdgc2: This game has become a “race”. Precision is demanded and it’s razor sharp! |
|
Jan-13-20
 | | chancho: The streak continues... |
|
| Jan-14-20 | | ewan14: Did Petrosian do this against anyone stronger than M. Bertok ? Keene says he liked g4 but I have never seen h4 as well |
|
| Jan-14-20 | | ewan14: I wish I could play the Semi Tarrasch Defence ( like this ) |
|
| Jan-17-20 | | Whitehat1963: Interesting and tricky sequence of moves near the end that could easily lead to a blunder for average players. |
