#CarlsenAnand - Sochi 2014 Prediction Game

Exactly. I can see a great plan for White: 40. Re7+ Kf6 41. Rxe3 and a draw offer + 8 points for me. I mean, no decent chess player agrees to a draw when up a passed pawn that could be promoted in two moves. 

In that case, we should call it 41-60.

You know, I bet Carlsen and Anand plan how the games will end just so they can decide who wins or loses here.  And then the laugh at us.  It's a conspiracy 

[hehe]

Play 1.c4 Magnus!  Just so I can be right about at least one thing lol

Very true! Since this whole thing was MSC`s idea a single question remains to be answered - is he Anand or Carlsen? I guess he is going to defend himself after this expose and thus reveal his true identity. If he defends excellently he is Anand. If he begins his comment in a flexible way that will give us an opportunity to blunder and pick variant explanations he is Carlsen. 

I've just been transported from Ljubljana (university) to my home town just after the rounds ended, that's why there's a delay. 

Hey guys, think logically. Obviously I'm Carlsen since Anand already have his profile on chess.com (remember that vote chess game a few years ago.

All 22 players who have more than 10 pts are on this list, others should just ask me!

How I hate to see that mad Spaniard above me...

I've done alright for myself; despite missing the first 2 games.

Did I get any points for my Game 5 predictions?

Shouldn't checkzmaker have 1 point for game 5, according to the rules?

G6: Draw 21-40 e4

Edit: Nvm, looks like it's already past the deadline for submitting G6 predictions.

I think so. I have PMed to MSC already. I did not feel like pointing out a possible mistake publicly.  I am not sure whether he submitted a tip. If not, does "to fail to submit a tip" mean the same as "to fail to score a point"? Nevertheless, I am glad I am not the only pedantic guy around here.

Yeah, I was in time trouble when got through the results because you all pressured on me to post the standings. 

At the end of the day, I would check all results again in this way or another, so no worries. Thanks for pointing it out though. 

You guessed the result & failed #moves and #1, that totals in 5. :)

Unfortunately not. But keep trying in advance too. :)

Stay tuned for the next half of the match. I'm sure you will do well! :)

I got a rough start, but am going good now!

What a game, double blunder and 1-0 at the end. Ouch. Thanks Peter, Vladimir and Sopiko! 3.5 - 2.5

Do not forget about the predictions in advance. Magnus plays white first now.
