Carlsen has so far won 4 games in the first half of the 10 rounds match. In the sixth game Carlsen with leko came out a draw. Here the game. My question is what do you think of the 41st move ? why Nf5 why not Bc4+(mistake here is does not give check) winning the rook ?
I think you misjudged the position of White's king, as 41...Bc4 is not check.
41.Bc4 isn't check lol.
huh ? yeah you are right guys I was pretty sure last night The white king was on f1 or e2 sq ?
A Knight vs. Rook Endgame?! I think the Knights are coming back strong, kco. LOL
ADK
Ok, maybe the better question would be then, could Carlsen have done it better ?
LOL, kco. Dont drink and watch GM games.
damn, Carlsen played good in the end game, i mean, i woudve lost if my opponent had a rook and i didnt... i just fail when it comes to moving a knight strategically
which end game option would have been better for Carlsen?
Rook vs Bishop?
Rook vs Knight?
i mean, clearly he managed to make it with the knight, but Leko rejects trading bishop for knight in move 40, whilst setting up the bishop for bishop trade in move 42.
I am not sure what Carlsen's style is in the endgame.
from memory, Fischer really good with the Bishop in endgames..
