Well in this case it really could be crushing. Perfectly placed bishops and a queenside assault against cramped pieces, and taking down the b-pawn means the a-pawn is passed... it's totally game over.
Magnus didnt beat the WORLD, he beats ONLY 3 GM with over 100 elo less than Magnus. Against the WORLD with the normal PC-Hardware and Stockfish 1.8 - or better Rybka-4-Software at home Magnus cant win and he knows this and the WORLD knows that his BOXING-show was only a DECEPTION. He said in this clip : Can YOU beat me
Hello Magnus , you didnt beat the - WORLD - you beat - ONLY 3 GM - with over 100 elo less than you have. Against the WORLD with the normal PC-Hardware and Stockfish 1.8 - or better Rybka-4-Software at home you cant win. The WORLD knows that your BOXING-show was only a DECEPTION. You say in your clip : Can YOU beat me
I think the problem with Qxf4 there would be Nb5! threatening both Nxc7 and also Bxc5, uncovering the attack on the Queen. If Bxf2+ then simply Rxf2 and White wins (Queen is attacked, Nxc7 is also threatened.)
If he doesnt use a move to take the Knight the C7 fork is a threat, after using that move he had to move his knight because it was attacked by two pawns, then white reinforced the F4 square
I'm sure Kasparov is well aware about considerations about 'fairness' etc..
But I would allege him an idealistic vision: I think he's sorta "believing" in that boy and thinks he'd be able to push chess to a higher level, he once mentioned that motive ..
Expectations are high but I think Carlsen might fulfill them.
The e4 pawn was damn impressive. I guess no doubt this pawn "gambit" is partly Kasparov's work. The Scotch was one of his secret weapons, wasn't it? But it's very nice. Can't wait to watch the Topalov match you have up.
I'll note this. These grandmasters are pretty damn adaptive and GK is not invincible. So Carlsen is not exactly shoe-in for the next World championship title. He's still got his work cut out for him although I'm definitely rooting for him. :)
Why do you think its bad that he's being coached?
It's normal to have coaches. Singers have vocal coaches, basketball players have basketball coaches, musicians have music coaches so what's wrong with chess players having chess coaches?
Kasparov is Carlsen's coach!? Hmm, I think that's good for chess after all. Now will be chess again more exciting! Don't forget, Carlsen have a talent even without Kasparov!
it is completely biased and unfair of Kasparov to be coaching a top 20 player specially considering that Kasparov is still stronger than every body exept maybe for Kramnik .
it is maybe fair however if Kasparov was coaching beginers like other do if he truely is doing for the love of chess & not for malice towards Kramnik ,Annad & Tapolav
you must be the real fool for not seeing the huge competetive tipping of scales into Carlsen`s favour & because Gary is the best so it makes it very odd .
do you think Garry is coaching Carlsen for free or do you think Garry voluntary offered Carlsen to coach him??. Nothing of that, it was Carlsen who wanted GK coach him and he said that Kasparov charges him very expensive.
You fools. accusing Kasparov of selling out!?? ARE YOU CRAZY?, Kasparov is coaching Carlsen because he loves chess and that this will help chess. ... and that he is the talented one, The best,
at 5:13, shouldn't it still be Nc7+ winning the rook, rather than Nd6+? Moving the c7 pawn up to c6 doesn't prevent the fork, it just prevents the pawn from being taken.

This is disgusting colaboration , poor leko he went play Carlsen and instead got Kasporov instead !!!, HOW is ANY FAIR FOR HIM OR THE OTHER TOP GM`S NOW HAVING TO FACE CARLSEN ?????? WHY CAN`T KASPAROV JUST BACK OF BACKING UP ANY OF THE TOP PLAYERS ?????
Not to take anything away from Carlsen because he is an exceptional player, but this is definitely Kasparov's ingenious preparation. After all Kasparov was a huge proponent of the scotch opening.
I tried pasting the PGN info in the description into WinBoard and it tells me "Illegal Move: 31. ...Nxh4"
Perhaps the variations (I assume those moves in parentheses are variations) are unsupported by that client... hmm. Thing is there is no 31 ...Nxh4 in the description, just a Nxh4 for move 29. Weird.
that Carlsen is so great and instructive that I started to use the Queens Indian Defence although it seems that he loses quite a few games in this line. but for me that was a lesson for going down slowly.
8:30 a-pawn dropping

Could someone please explain why black can't win a second pawn at 5:53, Qxf4? Is there some clear refutation that I'm just missing?

well if really got enough talent then let hiim prove him self on his own rather than borrowing the greatest world champion according to many.
how is any GM going to cope with that , they are after all playing for big money prizes and livelyhoods and Kasparov is interfering big time !!.

Dont be so naive, Kasparov is coaching Carlsen because Carlsen hired GK and Kasparov accept it for a very expensive prize.
