Go up one level in this thread


According to my computer the endgame of the second rapid game was full of
blunders.
[D]8/7p/8/P4kn1/1RN5/1P3p1r/2P2K2/8 w - - 0 48
First Carlsen plays 48.a6 (losing) here instead of Ne3+ (winning), then a few
moves later


[D]8/7p/P7/5k2/1RN1n3/1P5r/2P1Kp2/8 b - - 0 50
Kamsky plays 50...Rc3 (losing) instead of Ke2, leading to


[D]8/7p/P7/5k2/1RN1n3/1Pr5/2P1Kp2/8 w - - 0 51
where 51.Kf1 should win but Carlsen plays Nd2, which loses!


I don't think rapid or blitz game should be used anywhere in games leading to
the chess championship!
