  • siamesedream: 1-0
  • siamesedream: d4
  • siamesedream: oops
  • siamesedream: e4 - so 0-1 ;)
  • siamesedream: Carlsen play Spanish - lets see
  • Whiteknight: lets see ..hopefully smeets can draw this and stop magnus's winning streak
  • siamesedream: hopefully not ;)
  • Whiteknight: :(
  • ArcticStones3: Hopefully not.
  • Whiteknight: d5 now and offer draw
  • greenknight: was expecting a sicilian
  • siamesedream: me too
  • siamesedream: probably Smeets also
  • waustad: Breyer
  • siamesedream: Smeets shuouldn't fall into into time toruble if he wants to draw
  • greenknight: the second kinda surprise is these pawn exchanges
  • greenknight: opening up the game quickly
  • BlunderSuck: I eard that Carslen power is hidden in the crack just above his nose!
  • Tulga: lol
  • BlunderSuck: they could be many secrets hidden there...
  • greenknight: it's taken smeets out of book anyhow
  • BlunderSuck: yeah welcome to wonderboyland Smeets
  • Tulga: Bc5?
  • greenknight: smeets in wonderboyland, sounds like a film on acid
  • BlunderSuck: lol
  • BlunderSuck: Jonnhy Deep last movie
  • Pam: lol GK! :D
  • RT: Jonnhy Deep is a porn star, yes?
  • siamesedream: Las Magnus Parano!
  • BlunderSuck: or a documentary on pedophelia
  • siamesedream: i mean: Fear and Loathing in Las Magnus
  • greenknight: i dn't understand why black has the edge here...
  • checkmate666: I simply don't understand the Rybka eval here. Open center and bishop pair for white, and still it gives a - eval. To me this seems like a long term advantage for white althoug the symmetrical pawn structure should keep it within a draw
  • greenknight: i mean the computer thinks so, and carlsen obviously thinks so because he provoked Nxd6
  • checkmate666: exactly greenknight, I just typed a little more :9
  • ArcticStones3: I think it’s quite even.
  • siamesedream: Rybka is fixted on +1/-1 for W and B Carlsen
  • ArcticStones3: Besides, the "advantage" Rybka gives is insignificant. I think chances are about equal.
  • andy: Smeets have a ok start here
  • waustad: Smeets isn't in time trouble yet.
  • Tulga: black rooks soon will blust all over the c to e files
  • siamesedream: lets wait for eval around move 40
  • Hunyango: Black has the edge in the even position because he is Carlsen
  • Hunyango: Rybka knows it
  • Tulga: vague..
  • checkmate666: I don't remember there ever being a "plus half pawn if player is Carlsen"-algorithm in Rybka 2.2n2
  • greenknight: lol he does have this talent for winning = positions though
  • Hunyango: 2.2n2 is an obsolete version
  • aniladavally: slowly but surely..smeets will be in time trouble
  • checkmate666: of course, but still not a crappy engine by any means
  • checkmate666: and I suspect that the eval would change to slightly favoring white given more depth
  • Zeblakob80: o.O
  • siamesedream: almost 5 mnin on 21st move...
  • Tulga: critical point of the game?
  • Starman: Carsen always has an edge on a good day
  • checkmate666: but as Arctic Stone points out, never really crossing the drawing limit
  • siamesedream: if he wait more 5 min it will be critical
  • Theokratix: I've said it beofre: Jan plays very well, takes too long doing it, and then in time trouble stops doing it.
  • Trond: Sometimes I use 5 hours to make my move .. but by then I am so drunk she will never come with me home ..
  • Hunyango: TKX, that is a nice one!
  • checkmate666: I can't see how white can lose this though, even if it against Carlsen, the position is just too balanced for that
  • Theokratix: thanx
  • greenknight: aronian-ivanchuk getting excitinbg
  • Starman: Heia Norge ! Det er typisk norsk å være god !
  • ArcticStones3: @Trond: It could be because of your messed-up syntax. Putting the verb in the wrong place can have dire consequences!
  • greenknight: aronian sacrificed a knight
  • Trond: I know ... I home go ...
  • Starman: Snart er det typisk norsk å være best hehe
  • siamesedream: English Starman....
  • Trond: Det er typisk best å være norsk ..
  • frish: prob also typ Norwegian to speak Norwegian in an English chatroom
  • checkmate666: før 1905 var det typisk norsk å være svensk...en ganske skremmende tanke egentlig
  • ArcticStones3: @Trond: Perhaps you said to the girl on the diet: "I see you have taken off lately."
  • Trond: So .. nobody heard of the Queen and knight making a mating-attack ? wait until move 48 and see Magnus do it ..
  • Starman: Sometime we Norwegians need to focus on some intern jokes.
  • frish: You can prob use the Norwegian forum for that... ;)
  • ArcticStones3: You mean Monica Lewinsky jokes? She was an intern...
  • alnoth: no more bishop pair
  • frish: Norwegian Monica Lewinsky?
  • waustad: I usually lose a word here or there so I miss the point
  • Trond: I have never heard any be so proud about his english since Inge Hektoen so I guess that is you Arctic?
  • siamesedream: it should be draw
  • alnoth: against smeets of all people
  • Starman: OK point taken. Rule Britanania
  • frish: @siamesedream; it ain't over until the fat lady sings... ;)
  • siamesedream: Norwegians should be proud of Obama's Nobel
  • Tulga: well, if Carlsen can win in a draw position against player like Aronian
  • Tulga: anything is possible
  • siamesedream: Knights are dancing again
  • alnoth: smeets is doing exceptionally well on time... for his standards at least...
  • frish: nope, gotta go... go Carlsen... ;)
  • Starman: Yep ... Knights are on the move
  • checkmate666: dancing? More like stepping on eachothters toes
  • checkmate666: -t
  • Starman: T d8
  • Trond: he takes out one bishop and make the mateing-attack in move 48 like I said ..
  • siamesedream: there will not be move 48
  • Starman: I played against Magnus in 2001 (And lost...)
  • Trond: You felt like a starfish then?
  • Tulga: lol
  • gnac: Indeed it will be a draw way before move 48
  • greenknight: this game is not very exciting
  • bolle: smitty gets short on time... and maggy will win when smitty blunders
  • siamesedream: just exciting
  • Trond: Mark my David .. David my words .. no .. eh .. Mark my words!! and come for getting good ideas in betting later , I take provision :-)
  • Tulga: maggy? LOL
  • klypp: well, white has put of a nice attack, attacking... eh... nothing
  • siamesedream: Smeets is playing with fire
  • bolle: yes... maggy... chucky... sviddy.... krammy.. shorty... dummy
  • Trond: bolly ..
  • bolle: owned :P hahaha
  • Trond: ollybolly ..
  • Starman: jolly
  • bolle: bollemus
  • Starman: lol: bolle
  • waustad: Ok position behind in time. Typical Smeets playing these guys
  • Starman: Inern ...
  • bolle: all know that N are better than B in the endgames :) espessially in open pos
  • Starman: Smeets will lose on time in a difficult endgame or blunder
  • kulangot: ryt
  • Theokratix: Very equal/drawish outloook here. Magnus needs to find som complications to win on time trouble
  • ArcticStones3: Smeets is doing just fine so far.
  • kulangot: ryt 2
  • Trond: so ok .. not Queen and knight mating -- but far forwarded pawns at a and b will together with time-factor decide it ..
  • siamesedream: he should play faster to stay in the game
  • kulangot: don't sleep smeets
  • bolle: no... down on time in a equal pos... this is a clear adv maggy
  • bolle: is ther a TC on 40 moves ??
  • greenknight: well, now this is an interesting endgame
  • siamesedream: no
  • Trond: typical situation where one tries to keep the bishop-pair but just ends up in a worse position ..
  • siamesedream: just 25+10
  • bolle: sweet
  • ArcticStones3: This should be entertaining.
  • Starman: K-d5 and black will have an edge
  • kulangot: another 2-0 for carlsen,i think.
  • greenknight: don't often see 3 minor pieces left like this (ok its likely a pair will get exchagned soon)
  • ArcticStones3: Too early to take things for granted. Tick tock...
  • BlunderSuck: Magnus "the Pitbull" Carlsen seeking for fresh bones
  • Trond: I find it amazing how he can get a win in all these equal-looking positions ..
  • kulangot: coz carlsen is the best
  • Zeblakob80: time+blind+ pressure
  • siamesedream: because of time trouble blunders by his opponents
  • Zeblakob80: poor Smeets
  • Starman: the white knight is not in on the action...
  • Trond: not blind now? normal rapid, right?
  • siamesedream: watch out of back rank mate Magnus!
  • siamesedream: rapid
  • Zeblakob80: Smeets would play the alapin sicilian for this reason Carlsen played e5.
  • greenknight: Rd0-d8 mate
  • siamesedream: yep gk
  • alnoth: no mate, black has Kg9
  • siamesedream: will Smeets see it?
  • greenknight: lol
  • Zeblakob80: Rf9-f8
  • Trond: that 32 b4 in variation one of Rybka cannot be good
  • ArcticStones3: Tick tock, tick tock.
  • greenknight: hey if th ey can have a blindfold tournament, why not transfer chess?
  • valmy: A friend of mine once played a piece which had been taken! his opponent didn't noticed it but my friend told him afterwards
  • alnoth: in that case black has Nh9-f8
  • RT: If Carlsen wins this, with opposite-colored bishops, then he is supernatural
  • bolle: smitty very low on time
  • Trond: b4 like Rybka want and then take ?
  • siamesedream: Chucky is also winning
  • greenknight: he can kill off t his bishop
  • Zeblakob80: W has forget about the position of his knigt??
  • greenknight: Nxc5 - i wonder if theres enough to play for th ewin there
  • Starman: No he shuld not take the bishop I think unnessesary danger
  • ArcticStones3: He wants to centralise his king first.
  • Zeblakob80: lol ... valmy, this was not an official game??
  • Hunyango: Black is winning
  • RT: What is the Norwegian word for 'supernatural'?
  • Zeblakob80: draw ..
  • Hunyango: Time is the 17th piece
  • Trond: Overnaturlig
  • siamesedream: I once played with taken bishop online
  • bolle: maggy ownes !!
  • siamesedream: naturlisch
  • ArcticStones3: a3 missed the point. I think white is in trouble.
  • mueller: a3 was necessary in case of axb4
  • siamesedream: BREAKING NEWS: Monika Socko won her game in EICC
  • greenknight: not going to be easy to defend
  • GoVlad: who is monica socko?
  • ArcticStones3: And time pressure deluxe!
  • greenknight: uh, some female player I guess
  • Starman: Smeets down to the 20 sek limit pr,move (again)...
  • checkmate666: sister of Bartos I presume
  • GoVlad: this is quite drawish
  • Trond: isnt it 10 sec?
  • Starman: 20
  • bolle: sviddy is winning
  • vaughn: if smeets loses the position than he is a scared chicken
  • waustad: 20 in the BF, 10 in the rapid
  • valmy: Yes, of course, official game
  • RT: 10 in Rapid, 20 in Blind
  • Zeblakob80: i am waiting for what Kramnik has prepared against Gelfi
  • Zeblakob80: B has winning chances ..
  • ArcticStones3: @Zeb: Another loss by unsound sacrifice. :)
  • greenknight: hey kramnik lost 2 out of 2 black blindfold games with dodgy sacrifices
  • Trond: so .. if we say 30 more moves, then magnus has as and average 19 times more to think than smeets per move
  • Zeblakob80: ArcticStones3, there were 2 sacs, you mean the second
  • alnoth: maybe he thought today he is capturing a knight...
  • GoVlad: no no even smeets can't lose this
  • ArcticStones3: Both.
  • alnoth: i could lose this no problem
  • ArcticStones3: The first was unsound, the second was pure desperation.
  • Zeblakob80: ArcticStones3, the first was interesting but Kramnik has to keep Queens on the board
  • Zeblakob80: anyway
  • ArcticStones3: I agree, it was interesting -- but it was unsound.
  • greenknight: smeets again doing the opposite colour squares defence, it would b e hard for carlsen to break in on the kingside
  • ArcticStones3: And I complement Kramnik for playing great, aggressive chess!
  • Starman: Ke2 stopping the c pawn then he can just sacrifice his bishop
  • Zeblakob80: ArcticStones3. let us say the the sac was semi-sound
  • tafit: aggressive maybe, great not...
  • Zeblakob80: K----->>>>>> c6
  • Starman: To fight you will but good moves you have not
  • Zeblakob80: Kg7??? why noy Ke7
  • siamesedream: 1/2
  • siamesedream: if not Smeets' clock
  • siamesedream: there will be move 48
  • RT: Once Carlsen decided on this g5 thing, then Kf8 was an error?
  • siamesedream: Rybka cant evaluate this
  • Starman: Black will win !
  • 187: they won't - only by time
  • greenknight: there was no real way to break through without doing something to open the kingside
  • siamesedream: Chucky won!
  • Starman: the f pawn will fix it
  • siamesedream: Peter too
  • siamesedream: cool
  • ArcticStones3: It seems Carlsen played imprecisely and lost his advantage -- unless he sees something I do not.
  • ArcticStones3: ...which of course is highly likely!
  • siamesedream: it will be Red Sea by Smeets soon
  • ArcticStones3: Take your time...
  • Solartiger: now he has the advantage
  • Trout: now magic
  • Zeblakob80: chuky wins
  • ArcticStones3: Ivanchuk is playing brilliantly!
  • siamesedream: We will have 2 coleaders - rest day tomorrow
  • ArcticStones3: And we can agree, Zeb: Kramnik’s first sacrifice was "semi-sound". :)
  • Zeblakob80: rule1: when there are pawns on the flanks the bishop is stronger than the knight
  • greenknight: i don't think carlsen made a mistake except according to this rybka eval
  • ArcticStones3: This should be over now.
  • bolle: maggy techneque !!
  • balibaloche: bye bye smeets
  • bolle: omg
  • siamesedream: Jan prefers to flag
  • Solartiger: wow
  • ArcticStones3: Zugzwang. Nice!
  • RT: Overnaturlig
  • Trout: Hail the King:-)
  • Trond: Neida veeldig naturlig :-)
  • ArcticStones3: Watch your time!
  • bolle: NOOOOOOOOOOOO
  • siamesedream: oops
  • Starman: Black wins
  • siamesedream: easily
  • Zeblakob80: blood sea
  • greenknight: well NOW it's over
  • bolle: lucky
  • Starman: Kg3
  • ArcticStones3: Yes!
  • siamesedream: 6 out of last 6 rounds - cool
  • bolle: 0-1
  • Cercatore: YEAH!!!!
  • BigAlex: yeah
  • greenknight: Kh5 shouldn't really be red, since if white plays Nh2 correctly black can repeat
  • siamesedream: All blacks win
  • Solartiger: clap clap clap
  • ArcticStones3: It wasn’t consistently brilliant -- but good enought!
  • Starman: Magnus er Konge ! Or in English ... Magus is King
  • Zeblakob80: the all black round
  • siamesedream: King Konge
  • Zeblakob80: in german??
  • siamesedream: 20 min to last round
  • greenknight: another boring looking equal position somehow converted to a win
  • siamesedream: yep - all MC
  • siamesedream: looks like he can play any opening - at least in rapid
  • greenknight: he should start tournaments by losing a game on purpose
  • Whiteknight: oh damn it!!!!!!!
  • BlunderSuck: Baadur still playing for the win
