Which are some of the best games of the World Cup so far?
Carlsen – Cheparinov
I go for Carlsen-Adams game #1.
1. The brilliant defence of white to maneuver The Knight to a1 in order to protect c2.
2. Turning the delayed development into safely keeping the pawn up. (white)
3. Shifting one advantage into another one (giving up the extra pawn while setting up the pieces anew).
4. Showing the strength of the bishop pair and using it in brilliant manner to secure the full point.
Match wise, I also go for Carlsen -Adams. Both games being fought to the end, averaging 80 !! moves per game.
The most drama was definetely displayed in Carlsen-Cheparinov, where the game changes from win to draw to win to draw to win back and forth within a few moves.
notice how carlsen is mentioned in both instances- he played really well and was the most entertaining player- it’s funny how everyone is praising shirov when in reality he should’ve been out in the second round to shulman – shulman blundered twice in a totally won position- a class c player could’ve closed that game out
