GM Kjetil Lie put the Norwegians ahead with the kind of robust aggression typical of his best form on board four, and the teams traded wins on boards two and three. All eyes were fixed on the Caruana-Carlsen clash, where Magnus presumably pulled off an opening surprise by adopting the offbeat variation that he himself had faced as White against Nikola Djukic of Montenegro in round three. By GM Jonathan Tisdall Caruana appeared to gain a small but comfortable Caruana is number 3 in the world and someone advantage in a queenless middlegame, but as I've lost against a few times, so it feels incredibly Carlsen has shown so many times before, the good to beat him. quieter the position, the deadlier he is.

    The day of miracles. Kramnik took the lead. Prestige goal by Ivanchuk. This are not the whole list of headlines after round 12 in Candidates Tournament in London. Long Friday was really long Friday. For the first time in the tournament absolutely all games finished after first time control and 40 moves. Today I will continue with ecologically clean annotations (Totally without computer analyzes) “online” comments by IM &FT Vladimir Poley. Text of the games you can find on organisers home page. Pairs of the day: Magnus Carlsen –Vasily Ivanchuk Levon Aroian – Vladimir Kramnik Teimour Radjabov – Alexander Grischuk Boris Gelfand-Peter Svidler Magnus avoid Rossolimo today and said straight no to Cheljabinsk (Sveshnikov) variation by 3.Nc3. Vasily after 5 minutes thought decided to transfer his Sicilian defense into Taimanov variation, old and solid version. Alternative was 3...e5, but this can lead after transformation into “The Spanish torture” where Magnus feels like fish in the water. Kramnik chosen improved Tarrash defense against Aronian. The difference from normal Tarrash- is no isolated pawn on d5. Radjabov-Grischuk- easy going with draw reputation Queens Gambit variation, probably quickpeace agreement. Both players lost chances and not enough motivated. Gelfand plays anti-Grunfeld variation. To go into the main lines against biggest Grunfeld expert Svidler was not an option. Boris will look for fishy on sides. Grischuk invites to some pawns capture for advantage in development in return and started to shake the boat. I don’t believe that Teimour will accept the gifts. Just normal Nf3 will be good neutral response. Aronian decided to get isolany himself.

  • Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2017
    Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2017 Monday 23 January - Thursday 2 February 2017 Round 6 Report: Sunday 29 January 2017 - by John Saunders (@JohnChess) Battle Royal on the Rock Round six of the Tradewise Gibraltar Masters proved remarkably bloodthirsty as the top seven boards (and fifteen of the top twenty boards) ended in decisive results. Three leaders emerged victorious from the smoking carnage to stand together on 5½/6: Hikaru Nakamura, still on course for a third successive title, English number one Mickey Adams, and Spain's 21-year-old star David Anton Guijarro. But the highlight of the day was the defeat of the world number two Fabiano Caruana by a reinvigorated Nigel Short. Maxime Lagarde of France seemed to have good chances of holding against Nakamura until about move 28 when 28...c4 would have been an improvement but, slightly short of time, he allowed this important pawn to drop off and resigned when his a-pawn was similarly doomed. Hikaru Nakamura playing Maxime Lagarde After playing and defeating the women's world champion the previous round Mickey Adams found himself up against the women's world number two Ju Wenjun today. I believe I proffered some advice about not taking Ju Wenjun's e-pawn in an earlier report. In fact, Mickey did do this but only after the e-pawn had captured and become a d5-pawn. I'm not sure whether that counts. Anyway, Mickey was already well on course for victory by the time this occurred and he later expressed relief that he finally managed a shorter game than his previous marathon encounters.
