• Bozantium: Let's do it!
• Bozantium: 1.e4!
• Pam: Go Magnus!
• Zeborg: a3
• Bozantium: haha
• Bozantium: h4!
• Zeborg: yea since a3 didn't work he might go h4
• Bozantium: I've played 1.h4 in exhibition games. It is so hard to defend...obviously
• BigAlex: hi everybody
• Cercatore: Go Magnus!!! :)
• BigAlex: whtat happens if he wins this?
• BigAlex: he goes to the top and fights for the title
• handbanana: a3 magnus, do it
• Tulga: i feel like it's going to be a draw
• noiq: looks like a draw
• noiq: none of them have material or positional advantage
• Cercatore: ahahah
• waustad: How about a Grob?
• Cercatore: d4!
• T_Fighter: another grunfeld that maggary will crush`em in hmm 30 moves :)
• Steinwitz: Right then - Svidler's trajectory is interesting. Believe he made it to world number 4, and then faded. If one can call being world number 10 to fade ...
• BobbyFiske: Here we go again!
• BobbyFiske: I think Magnus gave up a3 to easily.
• Steinwitz: He gave a phenomenal analysis session on Chess.fm, and I think he would get a lot of fans if he started making chess videos
• Steinwitz: I've never liked 8... Nfd7 here
• Steinwitz: How is it possible that Carlsen's queen has wandered all over the place, and he's still got the lead in development?
• Dr_Walhalla: he has not
• Steinwitz: Oh, watch and learn
• jotu: black has castled already
• Steinwitz: Castling is for wimps
• jotu: lol
• Tulga: Guys, we have no right to be critical to the world number 1 player
• Poopalov: ??
• Steinwitz: Yes, we do. We're kibbitzers. We can be critical of anyone
• Poopalov: fucking carlsen fans
• ArcticStones3: I don’t like the queen moves here. They seem overly aggressive and premature, allowing black initiative and development.
• Tulga: :)
• Cercatore: i don't like the position of the white queen too
• nghtwlkr: one last Q-move, Qg3 and all is well
• Steinwitz: ArcticStones is right - the white queen has been toodling about mightily. But consider the Knight on f3. How will it join the queen
• BobbyFiske: The world belongs to the Kibitzers. We rule. Inside here at least. :-)
• Dr_Walhalla: lol
• Poopalov: kibitz is good, being a fan is being stupid
• Tulga: ??
• Poopalov: we are not 14 years old girls that follow tokyo hotel
• ArcticStones3: May the best player win!
• siamesedream: thats not fun
• Steinwitz: Watch now, how wisely the Bishop on e3, the Knight on f3 and the Queen on h4 will collaborate
• BobbyFiske: Poopalov: Too much poo in your language today. Behave please. :-)
• Cercatore: g4 is the best move here, make queen position most safe than now
• Poopalov: lol
• T_Fighter: kill the fandom, save the world :) save the world, kill yourself
• siamesedream: Pandolfini said: You mustn't develop your Queen to quckly ;)
• Tulga: agree
• Trout: Yes,Poop,you are making an ass out of yourself,
• Tulga: seems like Carlsen doesn't agree with him
• Matousek: Ruy Lopez probably said it
• Bozantium: exceptions are the key to top level chess
• Tulga: here we go! g4!
• Poopalov: @trout = lol
• BobbyFiske: Looks like blitz tactics
• siamesedream: yeah - and rapid rules are quite different
• noiq: go magnus go magnus
• BobbyFiske: I am already curious to read Magnus blog tonight about his opening choice here.
• siamesedream: this text depends on the result
• noiq: omg i finally found the flip-button on this site
• noiq: i have been here for like a year
• Solartiger: I need to leave in 15 mins, I hope that magnus has won by then
• CruyffTurn: I only found it a few days ago too noiq
• siamesedream: cool noiq ;)
• Steinwitz: As to yesterday's Knight bow to Aronian, which caught him by surprise. A little annoying that the Mueller-Schulze Reversed isn't in the books
• greenchile505: what do you do, flip the board if you're pulling for black?
• BobbyFiske: Seems not so easy for Svidler to play this position ad hock...
• greenchile505: or flip every move?
• BobbyFiske: Flip, flop and fly!
• noiq: yea always like to watch it as first person
• Steinwitz: When in doubt, move the K to h8
• noiq: haha, flip every move
• noiq: !
• greenchile505: never thought of it - thanks.
• Steinwitz: Pleasure. Now, let's see what to do with the Knight on c3
• Whiteknight: i expect peter to resign anytime soon!
• siamesedream: ?
• siamesedream: ;)
• BobbyFiske: Rybka Aquarium (0:00.33)} {+0.27|d13} {white stands slightly better})
• Steinwitz: That's only because the Rybka people want a deal with Magnus
• Bozantium: I would like to see Rybka Cluster v Carlsen
• Bozantium: Someone tell Rajlich that
• Steinwitz: Speaking of flipping the board. I think Carlsen has fun flipping colors: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nxe5 Nxe5 5.d4 Ng6 6.e5 Ng8 7.Bc4 d5 8.Bxd5 c6
• greenchile505: I would like to see Rybka Cluster vs. 5 superGMs who think alike.
• Bozantium: touche :)
• Steinwitz: See, I told you the Knight on c3 was on the move. Where to sacrifice it?
• aniladavally: is it possible to simulate carlsen??
• Whiteknight: When Paco blundered against Topa in Linares many of us here said the match was fixed..wat abt Svidler's resignation today??
• BobbyFiske: Whiteknight = White lies.
• Bozantium: Well...that position was super hard for a BF game
• siamesedream: he was blind and resigned
• Steinwitz: Good question. It's blindfold - and it was a very difficult position. Maybe, after the stuff happening on his Kingside, he wasn't even conscious of that Knight-move
• Bozantium: I can't blieve carlsen missed Nh4
• Bozantium: that was kind of weird seeing his previous 3 or 4 moves
• Steinwitz: Yup - it would have been beauuuutiffffuuul with Nh4. A game for the ages
• siamesedream: yeah - it was prearranged
• BobbyFiske: Magnus played a wonderful Sack'N Attack. The best fighter won.
• Bozantium: true
• Whiteknight: And paco lost intentionally against Topa?
• Bozantium: and even if they would have played on, carlsen had the upper hand psychologically
• Solartiger: bluff worked
• Steinwitz: Poor Carlsen. Only 19, and the knives are out for him. Now Svidler has to find ... he didn't
• Bozantium: haha
• BobbyFiske: Svidler is on his heels now...
• Steinwitz: I just love that Knight. It's going to mess with Svidler
• Whiteknight: Svidler shud resign now.....
• BobbyFiske: Svidler on the roof...
• Tulga: lol
• Bozantium: Puns...beautiful
• BobbyFiske: The great rock'n roll Svidler.
• siamesedream: maybe Svidler was late for cricket match and resigned in blinfold
• greenchile505: Maybe Pete thinks they're still playing blindfold.
• Steinwitz: People said 1. a3 was rude - what Carlsen is doing with the Knight, now that's rude
• Bozantium: why would 1.a3 be rude?
• Pam: Go Magnus!
• Steinwitz: Good question
• Bozantium: Miles' 1.a3 against Kaprov was awesome!
• Whiteknight: a3 wasnt rude..it was unwarrannted audacity and he got his lesson frm Chucky :D
• Bozantium: sorry a6
• Tulga: this Knight is gonna mess Svid's center
• Steinwitz: Was going to correct you, but you self-corrected
• siamesedream: a3 was a bit disrespectful
• greenchile505: Maybe Carlsen's a3 was inside baseball. Maybe Chucky got a chuckle over it after the game(s).
• greenchile505: This is a casual tourney..
• Cercatore: no ELO variation?
• aniladavally: no
• Bozantium: there is nothing at stake here except bragging rights anyway
• Bozantium: who cares if he plays a3
• siamesedream: money are at stake
• Steinwitz: Susan Polgar could run a 1. a3 theme tournament
• Bozantium: it was interesting for us non-dieties any way you look at it
• siamesedream: and this is quite prestigious tournament
• Steinwitz: Time to take on f6?
• Bozantium: true
• BobbyFiske: Svidler is very sympatic man. He has many friends in Norway. He played Aker Chess Challenge last year in Norway.
• Steinwitz: Ha-ha!
• Steinwitz: Very good, Svidler's Knight covers f6
• Tulga: e4 pawn push, ouch!
• Cercatore: Magnus need to cover e3
• Steinwitz: And Carlsen needs to do something about e3
• Steinwitz: I bow to Cercatore
• Cercatore: :D
• BobbyFiske: Svidler has built himself a fortress for his king.
• Bozantium: that e pawn is making me dizzy
• betterlive2: why did Svilder give away his horsey thing?
• Steinwitz: The white Knight thinking, I was here just a moment ago, or?
• Steinwitz: Now Carlsen has to come up with something else, f6 is off the books
• Bozantium: so much for Nf4
• BobbyFiske: A very exciting game. I feel like 14 year girl watching Tokyo Hotel.
• Bozantium: sac on g5 a la Kasparov?
• Steinwitz: Time to sac a Knight
• Bozantium: h4?
• Bozantium: i win
• Bozantium: :)
• ArcticStones3: Prophetic, Boz<1
• Bozantium: Kf2?
• Bozantium: That was literally a 1 in a million shot for me
• Bozantium: i am not that good at chess
• Bozantium: 1800 on a good day
• BobbyFiske: Your famous 15 minutes. Quick take a screen shot for your grandchildren.
• Bozantium: I'll just tell the story to them in 60 years...like grandpa simpson
• noiq: this deserves a wikipedia article'
• Steinwitz: Damn, that Norski is good at this game
• BobbyFiske: I'm guessing every game but never make it. Some day my moment will come, though.
• Trout: Magnus sure knows how to ride them horses
• Steinwitz: The swirling, racing Knights game, the'yll call it
• Whiteknight: damn it
• Bozantium: and we will be here, cheering you on...
• Bastiaan: white is winning
• BobbyFiske: Magnus is peeling Svidler like an onion.
• siamesedream: WhiteKnights stand good
• ArcticStones3: Look at those knights go! :)
• Steinwitz: White is mauling. Tough horsies. What are those two black bishops doing?
• Whiteknight: svidler shud hac resigned 5 moves ago
• Bozantium: and black's bishops just hanging out, the knights are just mocking them
• BobbyFiske: Whiteknight: This is your unlucky day. tease-tease.
• Trout: :-)
• Steinwitz: That b1-h7 diagonal is a fine diagonal
• Bozantium: tru
• siamesedream: its almost over
• Whiteknight: this match is fixed like paco topa was in linares (as many ppl here said)
• Steinwitz: Nothing there, but it's a fine diagonal
• jhoro: 33.Nxe6 was needed
• Pam: Go Go Magnus!
• betterlive2: are they blindfolded now too?
• noiq: svidler is
• Steinwitz: he-eh
• betterlive2: ok
• Whiteknight: this match is fixed like paco topa was in linares (as many ppl here said)
• Steinwitz: They're OTB now
• Bozantium: what i found interesting about carlsen playing 1.a3 against Chucky was that Chucky doesnt usually look at the board anyway
• betterlive2: no wonder Carlsens good..
• siamesedream: you are fixed!AC
• P2kmil: Carlsen is hitting hard.
• ArcticStones3: @Steinwitz: That b1-h7 diagonal is a fine diagonal" A fine diagonal for what??
• BobbyFiske: I think Svidler got confused by the aggressive opening. Magnus played 11. Qe4, A novelty.
• Pam: Carlsen is great!
• Steinwitz: Irony, Arctic. Svidler likes to put his Queens in the corners
• siamesedream: Carlsen the Great
• ArcticStones3: When in doubt, grab a pawn.
• BobbyFiske: Whiteknight: I am so happy you are here together with us. :-)
• noiq: 1-0
• betterlive2: ohh look
• Pam: Bravo Magnus!
• Whiteknight: ofcourse i will b here..
• siamesedream: 0-2;2-0;2-0 - now you know how strong Chucky is!
• P2kmil: he's doing all the machine says
• siamesedream: 1-0
• Steinwitz: The swirling Knights game ...
• Whiteknight: this game
• RT: MC = The Great Carbon Hope
• Whiteknight: well played by Magnus
• BobbyFiske: The Bad Jokes game...
• dragin: bof, grunfeld taking a beating
• Whiteknight: lets hope chucky wins and keeps lead
• ArcticStones3: Wow! Another amazing game by Carlsen.
• siamesedream: is gruenfeld pet opening for Svidler?
• Whiteknight: this 19 year old genius is catching fast...damn it!
• jhoro: Carlsen is like a boxer that needed to taste his own blood in the first round to get him going
• dragin: he's one of the main proponents of the defence
• Whiteknight: but really u hav to question svidlers play in both matches..
• dragin: he got raped :/
• dragin: first he threw in the towel in difficult position
• Whiteknight: especially in blind fold wat did he do?
• Whiteknight: letting the black pieces dominate
• siamesedream: this knock-down in 1st round really pissed MC off!
• aniladavally: the game was pretty one sided
• dragin: yep, should have traded his lsb for a knight to mitigate their dominance
• siamesedream: those were Trojan horses
• dragin: lol :P
• Whiteknight: we talk about time trouble and look at peter he has 7 minutes unused!!!
• siamesedream: it was cricket match at 20:00 i guess
• Whiteknight: when he resigned in blind fold he had 10 minutes..
• Whiteknight: why not think?
• Whiteknight: really strange!!
• siamesedream: conspiracy.com
• Whiteknight: no just a strange bad day for peter
• siamesedream: agree
• Whiteknight: but full credit to magnus
• Whiteknight: wish naka was here
• Whiteknight: naka and moro
• Zeblakob80: ??
• Zeblakob80: o.O ^.^ .... *.*
• akonato: hi
