Re: European Club Cup 11-19 October 2018
Round 4 report from Peter Doggers. The Carlsen No 1 rating Watch has become a feature of this tournament but Ginger GM Simon Williams thinks it's all a bit of a fuss over nothing "All this panic and talk about Magnus' rating!? Numbers rise and fall... The fact that Magnus is willing to play in a social team event is bloody cool. Worst case, he is 2nd on rating list before The World Champs; just means he has to win to be 1st on rating after."

Not really wanting to intrude on his grief too much, but Svidler lost again yesterday (with White, again - and from a won position, again)

It really is an awful run. Difficult to decide which loss is the worst one.Matt Mackenzie wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 1:30 pmNot really wanting to intrude on his grief too much, but Svidler lost again yesterday (with White, again - and from a won position, again)
[OK, the loss by Svidler to Bauer in round 5 was the worst one by far.]
[Carlsen-Ding fairly sedate so far.]

Chessdom have some powerful hardware analysing the Carlsen-Ding game: Stockfish with 128 cores and Leela Chess Zero.

The world champion is fighting for survival. Will he make it?

If he can survive playing g4 against a player of Ding's quality that would be some feat.Leonard Barden wrote: ↑Wed Oct 17, 2018 4:01 pmThe world champion is fighting for survival. Will he make it?

An extra incentive to save it: "If Carlsen saves it, his team might win. Grandelius is winning,, the others drawing."
(38...Re1 is suboptimal from Ding, and Carlsen found 39.Nd3)

Re: European Club Cup 11-19 October 2018
Oh, yes, quite possibly (after 29...Qe7).
And Carlsen failed to find 40...Kh2 and went Kf2 instead.

Amazing defence from Carlsen
