The Chess Mind

This is a blog for chess fans by a chess fan, one who loves the beauty of the game and wants to share it with those who are like-minded.

Corus, Round 12: Kramnik-Carlsen
The game of the tournament? Granted, Kramnik's play wasn't terrific, but Carlsen's was, and it marked a double milestone for him: a win in classical chess over the former world champion - with the black pieces, at that - was a great achievement, and it helped him to win (equal first) in one of the chess world's great super-tournaments.

You can replay the game here. The annotations are mostly based on Carlsen's comments in the press conference, but I've added a few notes here and there as well.
