Magnus Carlsen took Friday its fourth helpoeng in Shamkir Chess. Opponent Vladimir Kramnik had apparently never a chance and had after four agonizing hours to realize that he had gone to their third straight loss.
Carlsen played with white pieces out his first twenty moves in just ten minutes, but had during these twenty moves already built up a solid advantage. It smelled home preparations long way.
– The nineteenth move was critical. Continuation afterwards was very interesting, but after this I think simply does not work for black, commented Carlsen at the press conference after the party.
A very complicated position arose and Russian Kramnik failed to keep control of the chaotic situation. Continuation he chose stuck only minor obstacles in its Carlsen, who after an instructive conclusion could jot down his fourth victory.
– I am in very bad shape and can not figure variants. Everything was just wrong moves, Vladimir Kram Niks explanation that he was unable to provide greater resistance.
With 5.5 points of 7 possible is world champion thus on the way to making a great result. From tomorrow 12:00 follow penultimate round at tv2.no, then with party Wesley So – Carlsen.
– I have the greatest chances to win the tournament. Tomorrow is the party a key party, but the tournament could not yet gone much better for me. I’m in such a good position as possible, said Carlsen at the press conference after the party.
