Apr-03-18 Carlsen vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2018    ionnn: Two of the four classical victories of Magnus over Maxime are from 2005. Back then they were only fourteen years old. On the last 10 years the score is level. Maxime is far from being an easy opponent for Magnus. I expect a great game.      Aug-30-17 Magnus Carlsen    ionnn: <KVB> I'm curious to know why you think Aronian is the only one who can give Magnus a challenge instead of MVL or Caruana ? If we look results in classical chess for the last 10 years (2007-2017) between Carlsen and these players it's far from obvious : Carlsen - Aronian : +13      Jun-12-14 Norway Chess (2014)    ionnn: <DcGentle> Theory gives 8 0-0, instead of 8 Qe2, with the idea 8 ... b4?! 9 Nd5!      Nov-02-09 Bacrot vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2009    ionnn: Is 8 ... Nc6 a novelty ?      Jun-24-09 Levon Aronian    ionnn: he is playing right now here : http://www.echecs.asso.fr/Visualise...      Apr-30-09 Z Kozul vs Bologan, 2005    ionnn: If white had played 43 Kh2 instead of 43 Ra1 can't they get the draw ?      Oct-27-08 Magnus Carlsen    ionnn: 4 of each group      Sep-23-08 Vachier-Lagrave vs J Degraeve, 2008    ionnn: Instead of 24 ... ♕xg3?, the quiet move 24 ... g6!! seems to save Black. For example : A) 25 ♖xf2 ♖xf2 26 ♕xf2 e3! and White has to take the draw by perpetual check B) 25 a3 (no more back rank mate) ♕h6 26 ♖xf2 ♖xf2 27 ♕xf2 e3!= and if ...      Sep-23-08 Vachier-Lagrave vs K Arkell, 2008    ionnn: 59 ... Ka2!! draws but 54 Ng5 seems to win with the idea : 54 ... Kc4 55 Nf7!!      Aug-28-08 T Abergel vs Vachier-Lagrave, 2008    ionnn: After 27 Rxg7? it's difficult to believe that white are lost... but it's the case.      Jul-16-08 Vachier-Lagrave vs Kosteniuk, 2008     Nov-19-07 Tal Memorial (2007)     Dec-11-05 World Cup (2005)     Dec-10-05 Bacrot vs Rublevsky, 2005     Sep-17-05 Hikaru Nakamura     Jun-09-05 Pirc, Austrian Attack (B09)     May-19-05 Mikhail Tal     May-16-05 Vladimir Kramnik     May-15-05 MTel Masters (2005)     May-15-05 Adams vs Ponomariov, 2005     May-04-05 Kibitzer's Café     Apr-26-05 Maria Manakova     Apr-24-05 Shirov vs Grischuk, 2000     Apr-15-05 A Dacalor vs M Leconte, 2001     Apr-09-05 Viswanathan Anand     Mar-24-05 Caro-Kann, Exchange (B13)     Mar-18-05 Sutovsky vs Bacrot, 2001    Mar-15-05 D Birnbaum vs E Relange, 1995     Mar-14-05 Sicilian, Dragon, Yugoslav Attack (B76)     Mar-07-05 Etienne Bacrot     Mar-02-05 Eloi Relange     Mar-01-05 Kasparov vs Dreev, 2004     Mar-01-05 Maxime Vachier-Lagrave     Feb-18-05 Lautier vs Korchnoi, 2001     Feb-16-05 E Najer vs A Bujakevich, 1996     Feb-16-05 Velimirovic vs D Rajkovic, 1971     Feb-16-05 Joel Lautier     Feb-16-05 Aeroflot Open (2005)     Feb-16-05 M Apicella vs Lautier, 2001
