You all should get watching the Aronian/Anand match right now

Nevermind, Naka just played f5. it looks like he wants to let karjakin get a queen and mate him.

black would win that rooperi.

queen would eat the 2 queenside pawns, then Q+K could hold off and win the other 3.

What about a queen and 5 pawns against 2 queens?

I think magnus needs to trade queens here.

So where can we watch this OP?

10/10 thread telling us to watch something without a link. Temtped to neg.

has Magnus ever played the Ponziani before?

I think Harikrishna just threw it away.

Harikrishna resigned before Magnus could play Nxf6

Good games today. Only 2 draws.

OH NOES, DON'T NEG ME 

You can watch games on chessbomb.com - if not, you could use google and type in 'tata steel chess'. That tends to work.

About chessbomb.com btw -- they talk about engines being a lot stronger when only showing one analysis line as opposed to three or four (called "Single PV Mode") -- what's that all about? I always thought the analysis lines were just meant to show the viewer the top moves the engine was thinking about -- I mean, obviously even if just one analysis line is shown, the computer must be considering other moves anyway. I guess it's easier for the engine to stop caring about certain bad moves in Single PV.

All home prep.. YAWN.. boring stuff. Aronian played childish and Anand used his home prep.. nothing interesting.

Magnus gave Harikrishna his chance to trade them at move 46. Guess he shoulda done so.

Resulting endgame is dead lost so no point.

WOW!

What a great game by Anand! his 2012 may have been forgettable, but he's come roaring back so far in this tournament. Congratulations to Anand!

Anand wins with home prep.. what will happen when he faces Carlsen who leaves Anand's prep in the dust? When skill comes Anand does nothing but run and draw. 

Apparently he found f5 over the board. top lad.

He is just saying that.. why would any GM say "It was all home prep for me.." They need to look like geniuses and pretend they didn't prepare this but came up with it over the board.

Plus f5 isn't so hard to find, the home prep did all the dirty work for Anand, and he just finished it with simple chess.

That game makes me wanna play the ponziani. lol

lol, Anand won two games back to back and is currently leading (I think) one of the strongest tournament in the world.

Also I'd like to see YOU play Anand. Will that be a draw you think?

Don't ever go to an art museum, you'll be bored to death.

This game was a work of genius by Anand. Whether it was home prep or not, it was still brilliant. Anand's use of the clock suggests he was working hard at the board. I look forward to seeing Anand's interview.
