qgd doesn't become a bad opening because he lost with it once :p

yep sure but for one moment it looked like he might be suffering again, which seems to happen quite frequently to black in the opening. Also it doesn't actually produce the most exiting games =p

Carlsen equalized this game with almost no effort so he clearly improved his preparation from the other game in this opening.

Don't see too often a game where at move 30, Black is 65+ minutes ahead in time compare to White. Carlsen preparation is exceptional today.

I don't think Carlsen's is exceptional considering thats the opening he lost with...

It's more of how horrible Vishy's preparation must be...

Carlsen has more time on the clock than he started with after the time control ^_^

Draw, to be expected. Vishy's focus is definitely open to questioning, unless he's still fatigued from yesterday's marathon.
Hey! How you doin'?

what a comfortable draw for Carlsen...

Can Vishy surprise everyone again or is the match already over :o

These guys have started to master the art of answer press conference. Put on a tired face & no one can blame you for 1-liner answers haha.

"What's your attitude towards doping test ? ". Well they seem to be out of idea of terrible questions.

Pretty sure that Carlsen chose this variation as a way to burn Anand's time and force Anand to tire out since there's no way that Anand would have prepped for that variation at 8.Re8. Plus, it lets Carlsen rest a bit after yesterday's game
The world is burning and you rather be on this terrible website discussing video games and your shallow feelings

The press conferences are just getting more and more soulcrushing. 90% retarded questions and they barely bother to answer anyway. Oh and.. anyone wants to take a guess as to how the winner is going to feel after getting/keeping the title? Cuz I'm dying to know..
Theres a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

Who did the commentating today? I rather liked them.

Also, should the internet get Hot_Bid to do a Carlsen interview?

doesn't change the fact that I am higher than 2k in rl.

I agree.

There's almost 0 chance of a lost for White here, so why not play on. This is classic Carlsen position stuff, making sth out of nothing. Though I still don't actually see a concrete plan for White here so far though =/


I'd like to see white win after trade. Please give me a concrete line where white wins with the knight on the board and no rook. For some background information, a very similar ending appeared in Nunn's Chess Endings. Please read that book to make an informed decision.

This one in particular was particularly condescending.

There was nothing nasty about the comments. You adamantly refused to reevaluate your position in the face of appropriate (and correct) opposition, and we were calling you out on it.

We didn't make it personal, but since you want a villain to be mad at today, I'll oblige:

You should mention your chess rating again. Maybe that will offset you telling people who disputed your misapprehension to read a book.
