This is a Round 2 game between Magnus Carlsen and Boris Gelfand from the 2011 Tal Memorial chess tournament in honor of the late and great Mikhail "Misha" Tal.

It amuses me that at the Tal Memorial, they played such a non-aggressive line as the Slav lol.

[salomonbeno]

very well explain sr,,

[gustavoantoniops]

When do you think Magnus Carlsen figured out the final position? Because it seems to me that possibly he calculated which move by the immediate necessity and, therefore, could win. But maybe he calculated everything 5-10 moves earlier (what is more interesting). I a beginner. What do you think?

[quillendaniel]

Brilliant commentary and brilliant game: much thanks! I GOT A LOT OUT OF THAT!

Bless you who ever did that commentary!

how abt kf8 instead of 0-0-0 for black? I really feel castle short is extra brave move for white! certainly g5,g4 can do something...
