    kramnik is back!

    Great, great … would be even better if the ChessVibes logo was less intrusive. Kramnik’s head looks scrambled.

    the chessvibes logo is too big.

    Nonsense, Kramnik’s head is too big!

    Here’s an idea: why don’t they have BOTH players commenting on a game at the same time; it would be very interesting to hear what they were both thinking.

    You could place the logo at the bottom right, that may be better.

    I don’t think that Carlsen would have had such a will to give explanations after this game…

    Indeed, Kramnik already mentioned in the video that Carlsen didn’t feel like talking after the game (as most players don’t after losing a game).

    I wonder how much psychological warfare went into this battle; Carlsen taking two minutes to make the first move, trying to prove that he is not afraid of Kramnik and can take him on even in his best scoring opening. Or maybe it’s just that discussions in these topical openings cannot be avoided between top players.

    In any case it didn’t go well, and he certainly didn’t crush Kramnik like a bug. So one more reason to not feel like rubbing salt in the open wound by doing a dual commentary.

    This win for Kramnik means a defeat not only for Carlsen, but also for Kasparov!!

    I don’t like Carlsen’s comments on his blog that he “blundered in an unclear position”. The guy is becoming arrogant. Prefer Kramnik’s comments after his defeat in London against the same opponent saying that C “played a great game”.
    I think Kasparov has always paid respect vz the greatest like Karpov, Kramnik, Anand, Ivanchuk and Carlsen should learn there too.

    why he is not saying that he won because of time?

  12. ebutaljib on January 27th, 2010 21:36

    Because he didn’t win only because of time ;)

    Besides, he said at least once that his opponent had only seconds on the clock.

  13. sulotas on January 28th, 2010 00:08

    I like the way he pronounces ‘perpetual’…

  14. Victor on January 28th, 2010 00:31

    Carlsen is becoming Topalov, or Kasparov when he loses a game. A shame, really.

  15. Rothschild on January 28th, 2010 11:04

    Carlsen says he blundered in time trouble after losing his game, and all of the sudden he is a paranoid Bulgarian accusing others of cheating in the restroom? Get real. He might be a soar loser, but the fact that he blundered in time trouble is a simple fact. He knows Kramnik well personally, and I’m sure there are no hard feelings between the two. He obviously has stirred up some feelings in ron and Victor, though.
