At this point we must review again why Kasparov openly made an announcement about his collaboration with Magnus Carlsen,that is so Carlsen will not face a cheating acusses from his opponents at Nanjing Pearl Spring Chess 2009! Leko, Topalov, Jakovenko and Radjabov are the unlucky losers to Magnus, while Wang Yue can be considered the most lucky one. Standing after first cycle (round 5) :
Magnus Carlsen 4.5/5
Wang Yue 2.5/5
Topalov,V 2.0/5
Leko,P 2.0/5
Radjabov 2.0/5
Jakovenko 2.0/5
It will be exciting to see the what will happen in the second cycle , to be happen on Sunday as tomorrow will be resting day.
Meanwhile the Women Grand Prix is a typical ladies event with more than 50% decisive games. After 5 rounds the number of draw games is about 11 out of 30. Nana Dzagnidze was leading with 4.0/4 before slowed down by Marie Sebag at round 5, but her nearest rival Xu Yuhua was also not lucky on the hand of Mongolian Batkhuyag Munguntuul. So Nana is still leading with 4/5, while the only perfect score is temporary on Betul Yildiz of Turkey with 0/5, Zhu Chen is the latest lucky lady to played her.
Beberapa minggu lalu sebelum Gary Kasparov bertanding dengan Karpov dia mengungkapkan bahwa si Magnus Carlsen telah diangkat sebagai muridnya. Hal ini mungkin langkah yang tepat karena saat ini si Magnus ini lagi menggila dengan 4 kali menang dan 1 kali remis di turnamen super kuat Nanjing Pearl Chess 2009.
Carlsen mengalahkan Leko di babak pertama melalui pembukaan Skotlandia, pembukaan yang dikenal masyarakat catur sebagai senjata Carlsen. Partai kedua Carlsen memakai mengalahkan pembelaan Hindia Raja pecatur nomor 1 Topalov. Babak ketiga Carlsen memakai pembelaan Gruenfeld dengan 6..Be6!? mungkin juga pengaruh Kasparov kali ini musuhnya Wang Yue walau sangat terjepit tetapi lolos karena blunder Carlsen di saat-saat time crisis, Wang Yue lolos dengan hasil remis. Babak empat si Jakovenko nggak beruntung menghadapi Sisilia Carlsen dan babak terakhir melawan musuh sebayanya Teimor Radjabov, Carlsen mengalahkan pembelaan Sisilia Radjabov hanya melalui 25 langkah! Langkah 15..Nf4 Radjabov kurang mengigit dan mengakibatkan perebutan bidak tengah d dimenangkan putih dan hitam pun tak pernah berhasil merebut inisiatif dan kalah materi di beberapa langkah berikutnya.
