Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!      Sep-27-17 Carlsen vs Granda Zuniga, 2017    Phi: In an interview from chess.com Carlsen briefly mentioned that it is a very thematic win as his queen controls all the light squares. It sounded as he didn't think the resignation was premature.

So the question is: are there more than 4 solutions?      Jun-07-14 The World vs Naiditsch, 2014    ...      Aug-13-13 Anand - Carlsen World Championship Match (2013)    Phi: Bwin offers 2/5 on Carlsen and 9/5 on Anand. Or 1.40 Carlsen and 2.80 Anand.
