Nf5 $16 {Already White has a clear strategic advantage. The black bishop on b7 bites on granite while by contrast White is very well placed to build up a quick attack on the kingside. The "Kasparov" knight on f5 in particular casts a spell on the position. I think what we now see in this game and also other games in Shamkir is why Carlsen could now be called "The Pitbull" What he demonstrated in this tournament and has been doing for a number of years is that when he gains an advantage it's incredibly hard to shake his grip, rather like a pitbull. It was quite scary to see in this game that Maxime lost without making an easily identifiable mistake. Perhaps he just played a slightly dubious opening. But that's enough. Kramnik make a slight tactical error against Magnus in their game just out of the opening and that was enough to ensure a loss. It's a quite frightening level. Watching the world snooker championships this year, I watched a frame where Chinese player Ding played a slightly poor break-off shot against Judd Trump and never got another shot, as Trump potted a long red and then cleared all the balls without any effort. I think it's fair to say it's similar in chess now, that one slight mistake can be enough to cost you the game, or at least to make life very difficult.} d6 14. Bg5 $1 {Straightforward and effective.
