[lang_nl]Aronian briljant tegen Anand, Topalov geeft onnodig op[/lang_nl][lang_en]Aronian brilliant against Anand, Topalov resigns prematurely[/lang_en]

[lang_nl]Soms is Aronian gewoon een waanzinnige speler. Vandaag speelde hij een briljante partij tegen de speler die bovenaan stond in Morelia: Viswanathan Anand. Speel de partij na en geniet. Allerlei zetten die je gewoon echt niet verwacht. Wat kan het schaakspel toch mooi zijn. Morozevich-Ivanchuk en Svidler-Leko waren twee saaie remise; de eerste na een Berlijnse Verdediging en de tweede na alweer een Marshall Gambiet. Carlsen en Topalov zijn op het moment van schrijven nog bezig.

Ochtendupdate: weer een tragedie voor Topalov. Nadat hij tegen Ivanchuk een stuk had weggeblunderd, ga hij tegen Carlsen onnodig op, in een stelling die waarschijnlijk remise was. Nu is Morelia werkelijk de wereld op z'n kop, vergeleken met Corus...[/lang_nl][lang_en]Sometimes Aronian is simply an amazing player. Today he played a brilliant game against the player who was leading the field in Morelia: Viswanathan Anand. Replay the game and enjoy. Full of moves you just don't expect. How beautiful the game of chess can be. Morozevich-Ivanchuk and Svidler-Leko were two boring draws; the former after a Berlin Defence and the latter after another Marshall Gambit. When I write this, Carlsen and Topalov are still playing.

Update in the morning: Another tragedy for Topalov. After blundering a piece against Ivanchuk, against Carlsen he resigned prematurely, in a position that's probaby a draw. Now Morelia really is the world upside down, compared to Corus...[/lang_en]

Henrik LarsenCarlsen: "Wat betreft Magnus' prestatie tot nu toe, kom ik superlatieven te kort. (...) Magnus is terug bovenaan (alleen) met 3,5 uit 5 en een tpr van 2906! Wat een verschil met Corus." Zeker weten. En hij mag trots zijn:

Stand na ronde 5

  1. Carlsen                   3,5
2-3. Aronjan, Anand             3
4-6. Ivanchuk, Leko, Svidler   2,5
7-8. Morozevic, Topalov        1,5

[/lang_nl][lang_en]Open the games in a new window

Henrik LarsenCarlsen: "Regarding Magnus' performance so far I'm our of superlatives. (...) Magnus is back in the lead (alone) with 3.5 out of 5 and a TRP of 2906 ! What a turnaround compared to Corus." It sure is. And he's right to be proud:

Standings after round 5

  1. Carlsen                   3,5
2-3. Aronjan, Anand             3

7-8. Morozevic, Topalov        1,5

Haha, funny mistake.

@Guillermo, you can rejoice then in the fact that Chessbase also has a page in Spanish.

Too much football, Peter ;)

Not sure what Guillermo said, but I prefer this place

peter's picture

OK translation: Guillermo prefers Chessbase, since leaving the game Carlsen-Topalov before it had ended, was a sign of 'bad competence'. Well, I can just say that at 3.37 a.m. here in Amsterdam, getting some sleep seemed like a good idea to me.

No excuses, you're fired

We should start working in shifts :)

On the serious note, I don't like Chessbase sterile items. The interaction on chessvibes is wonderful and you have more than one update daily

peter's picture

Well, not sure if we can keep that pace. But anyway, at least Guillermo was able to complain here! ;-)

Chessbase don't have an RSS feed either, so I often just forget to check what they are saying.

arne's picture

Indeed he was. And he even got a response back! ;-)

peter's picture

Try http://deeden.co.uk/f/chessbase.rss, Tom. It's not perfect though - a big delay before an article ends up in the feed.

Heh, thanks Peter. Better late than never, as we say.

I replayed the game because of these words. Thank you. You were correct. Great game, and now new respect for Aronian, who I simply have not followed until now...

Great job.

Regards,
Pal
