Jan-22-15 Carlsen vs Radjabov, 2015 
| |
| Thorsson: 19...c5 looked horrible when he played it, and time hasn't improved the look! But still, if computers have taught us one thing, it's to distrust looks. Obviously if White does nothing then Black could re-arrange his pieces and the Bb6 could become active, but does Black have the ... |

| |
| Thorsson: Fabi made an error on move 45 I think, which allowed Jobava back into the game - the immediate 45...Rxf6 was better, so that there was no skewer with Bh4. How often do we see one blunder repaid by another? Anyway, Fabi was better for most of the game, so probably deserved the win. |

| Thorsson: <Tabanus: Kasparov is no challenge. Scroll down and see for yourself how real CC players look like! :D> They're rather young to be representative of congress, AFAIK. Looks like my chessfriend Ray Boger has put on a bit of weight. I'll have to suggest he updates his facebook ... |
