Hi,

I hope everyone's doing well and thought that i should post the game here for convenience. The KID was not such a good idea this time around. Hope you like the game!

P.S it took me ages to post the game as the pgn file wasn't gettable.

Thanks for posting the game

Thanks.

Well that was embarrasing. I like how Magnus plays the fianchetto against the KID like I do.

Who cares if Carlsen beats some minon . Let's see how the dude fares against Rybka and Fritz, that would be the real deal.


I always equate that to trying to beat your calculator at calculus problems - not much fun...


How can you call it a "real deal" when you play against an inanimated chess computer?

Because Rybka and Fritz are the best chessplayer in the world even GMs say that

even to draw vs them would be a challenge.

Just for a bit of fun, here's what a strong engine on a reasonably powerful system makes of the game using top 4 engine match up methodology & Batch Analyzer tool...

Just to clarify the output log here is an example from the game:

13. Be3 { Qb3 59 19 : Qd3 52 18 : Be3 50 18 : Qc2 43 18 }

On move 13 White played Be3.

The engine preferred 13.Qb3, scoring it 59 at depth = 19 and 13.Qd3 was 2nd choice with a score of 52 at depth = 18.  The played move was 3rd choice (in bold) & scored 50 at depth = 18.  Obviously where a move is outside of the top 4 engine choices, you can see because none of the output for that move number are in bold.

The conditions for the analysis were as follows:

4 x AMD Phenom 2.30Ghz 4GB RAM

Database Used: Batch Analyzer

To say that "the real deal" is Magnus vs Mr. Silicon is a joke. Everyone thinks that this kid is the best, but he has yet to prove himself against the top GMs. The cadidates match for the next WCC will be interesting...he will have the opportunity to play for the title of "the Best". 

This guy became the youngest GM at 13...in a game that requires a lot of patience and sacrifice...traits not known for your average teen, and only Kasparov has attained a higher chess rating...we may be looking know at the very best chess player ever to walk the earth. He is also young and marketable, just what the doctor ordered to garner interest in the sport.

On the cautionary path, other chess prodigies have gone mad with compulsion, so Magnus needs to walk that thin line at a very young age. I really do believe that we are looking at the next WCC.

Black has better top 1 and top 2 matches with the computer's choice, but was crushed anyway... and 11...cxd5 was pointed out as dubious by Magnus, yet it's also all engines top choice.

Chess is still complicated, and human chess is not computer chess...yet Smile

LizardSlaveMaster

The 3 GMs played like total amateurs flat out , they showed that they didn`t know what they were doing : 9...c6 ? their first mistake in this position and it got an immediate thumbs down from Kasparov , then both 10...Bg4 ?! and 11...cxd5 ? made Kasparov cringe then said that :" i don`t like what black is doing " .

conditions were made very easy for things to go wrong for his 3rd tier of GMs  opponents and i agree with previous post that this proves nothing for us and he could never even come close to beating even an older version of deep junior live like Kasparov did before

Wrapped-in-Plastic

Does anyone know where I can get some high quality pics of Magnus at the board with the city behind him? I did some screenshots of the live feed but I was hoping there were some official photos of him at the board.

The game was lost on move 3.

The primary rule of chess openings.

CONTROL THE CENTER AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CENTER. This game was a setup. I told you guys. I told you they would make it look good. No way that was a real game. That is what i would expect in junior league.


 I checked back on move 3...and they were finishing off the fiancetto. It's not always about centre you know. Defense is needed, and ironically, in the end it was an outer rank pawn which grasped hold of the white's victory.

i guess the three gm candidate moves were to prevent it being magnus v the software world, and which red blooded kid player would ever do 9 ...c6, the gm who suggested this move wants stringing up by the short and curlys

What about that makes you angry enough to import a picture of a chimp and super - impose CG's face? I think you have some anger issues. I happen to agree with him, so could you make me a jackass, sparerib?

Sparenone's right - I use the Dragon and KID as black, and the games don't last very long.  I win pretty quickly =D

panderson2

Your reaction is a little exeggerate don't you think?

LizardSlaveMaster

yes you are right , the queen side attack against the Kings Indian is very strong and white almost always wins at least a pawn there , but as black in this game position u have to commit full steam ahead  to the king side attack and be ready to throw everything there not just a pawn lost on  the queen side .

The GM`s rookei  mistake  was thinking  that they could contest  white  on his strong side and go totally  off track !! with impunity !!Laughing
