Magnus Carlsen got into a mess against Wang Hao on the black side of a 3.Bb5 Sicilian and should probably have had to pay for it with a full point. Wang Hao admitted that he was in a "very bad place" after gaining 1.5/6 in the previous rounds and was only thinking of a draw. Having the advantage came as a surprise to him but he couldn't see a clear way to exploit it and he soon allowed an immediate liquidation into a drawn ending. Levon Aronian played well and defeated Hikaru Nakamura comfortably after getting a good position straight from the opening. Aronian: "I think it was a bad start in the opening from my opponent and after that it was unpleasant to play for him. I'm happy I managed to prepare for the game well." Q: Still have a chance for shared first place? Aronian: "Two rounds to go, it's a difficult task but it's not unsurmountable anything can happen." Whatever happens Aronian has played himself into shape ahead of the Candidates. Anish Giri gradually been playing better and better after a poor start to the tournament. In Round 11 he crushed Fabiano Caruana in just 28 moves. Caruana just hasn't got into the tournament and today he was trying to avoid openings that he and Giri share in common due to having worked with the same trainer. Giri sacrificed a pawn and got a position he liked, Caruana was all at sea with inaccuracies making his position worse and worse. Giri brought about a picturesque finish where, still a pawn down, he had every single piece pointed at a shambolic black position and resignation was the most sensible option in spite of Giri having not executed any of his attacking options yet. Peter Leko got "zero out of the opening" after spending his rest day preparing for lots of options but not the Sicilian Dragon by Loek van Wely. However later van Wely slipped into a very unpleasant Rook and Pawn ending and was ground down. Leko has moved to +2 with the power to add. "I was very lucky today" as Hou Yifan took advantage of a terrible miscalculation in a winning position by Viswanathan Anand. Hou played enterprisingly in the opening but was then pushed back and they reached a knight and pawn ending where Anand's extra pawn was just winning. Then Anand carelessly traded into a King and Pawn ending that was just drawn. Sergey Karjakin moved to +2 and a "more or less decent result" against a totally dispirited Ivan Sokolov. "I think it's just a very bad tournament for my opponent. He to be honest played very badly and I didn't do anything special in this game. He was just giving up his position and I just took my point" was Karjakin's summary of the game. Pentala Harikrishna tried a press a small advantage against Erwin L'Ami but didn't get anything in the end. Leading R11 Standings: Carlsen 8.5pts, Aronian 7.5pts, Anand 7pts, Leko, Nakamura, Karjakin 6.5pts. R12 Pairings: 26th Jan 2013. 12:30pm GMT. Van Wely-Caruana, Aronian-Giri, Carlsen-Nakamura, Harikrishna-Wang Hao, Anand-L'Ami, Sokolov-Hou Yifan, Leko-Karjakin.

Wang Hao vs Magnus Carlsen

Carlsen: "I didn't like my position at all. I missed something and then we got this endgame which is [intake of breath and pulling a disgusted face] ah, it's unpleasant but fortunately it's not so easy to create something real and after what I got I managed to escape and consolidate it's not so much anymore.

Q: Did he miss a win anywhere? Carlsen "Ha, ha, ha, I don't know."

Aronian took an opening advantage and produced a nice win with black against Nakamura.

Already it is clear that black has won the opening battle.

Black now has all sorts of chances based on this advanced pawn.

Anish Giri beat Fabiano Caruana

Anish Giri talked through his crushing win against Fabiano Caruana. Afterwards he talked through his chess ambitions which have been on hold this year as he takes his exams. I think it has been very clear that because he can only work on chess part time he's gone backwards compared to some of his rivals. Fortunately as soon as theexams are out of the way and assuming he passes them he plans to concentrate on chess.

Giri on his chess ambitions: "At the moment I want to finish my school after the tournament because if I don't finish it this year then I won't be able to improve my play next year either. Then there are many things to do for me, many directions where I can improve. If I pass them [exams] I will focus on chess for a while I think because I like the game very much and I have a feeling I can do good at some times. Sometimes this feeling betrays me but after games like this it comes back."

Giri,Anish - Caruana,Fabiano [D31]
75th Tata Steel GpA Wijk aan Zee NED (11.6), 25.01.2013

1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 c6 4.Nc3 dxc4 5.a4 Bb4 6.g3

Both players are trying to avoid their common opening repertoire. Caruana isn't an expert in the black lines and this probably shows.

6...Nf6

"Kind of a mistake already." - Giri.

[6...c5 was Giri's post-game suggestion with Nc6 to come. 7.Bg2 Nc6 8.Be3 (8.dxc5 Qxd1+ 9.Kxd1 doesn't look very good for white.) 8...Nge7 9.0-0 (9.dxc5) 9...Nf5 was an improvement to a game played by a Giri team mate in the Spanish League and he was wondering what to do to avoid this.]

7.Bg2 Nbd7 8.0-0

Giri considered this position fantastic "one of the elite group of positions I really can play quite good. There is nothing to worry about I have a bishop on g2."

8...0-0

Fabiano Caruana

Anish Giri

Position after 8.0-0

9.Qc2

"It's very difficult to play for black." - Giri.Whio says Caruana is a good calculator but there isn't much to calculate in thisposition.

[9.Nd2 Nb6 (9...e5 10.Nxc4 exd4 11.Qxd4 Nb6) 10.a5 Looks nice for white.]

9...Qa5

"Very suspicious. He told me it might have been theory but I'm not sure." - Giri.

[9...a5 10.e4 Re8 11.h3 c5 12.e5 cxd4 13.exf6 d3 14.Qb1 Nxf6 15.Qa2 e5 16.Qxc4 e4 17.Ng5 d2 18.Qxf7+ Kh8 19.Qc4 Re7 20.Bxd2 Qxd2 21.Nf7+ Kg8 22.Nxe4 Nxe4 23.Nh6+ 1-0 Stupak,K (2504)-Posedaru,B (2294)/Chotowa POL 2010/The Week in Chess 822]

Position after 10.Na2

[10.Bf4 0-1 Goldin,A (2595)-Kaidanov,G (2550)/Philadelphia 1992/TD (63); 10.e4 "Is the kind of move I don't really want to play because .... I like to keep the diagonal open for my bishop." - Giri.]

10...Bd6?!

[10...Be7 "Is a bit more to the point." - Giri. 11.Qxc4 (11.Bd2 Qh5 12.Qxc4 e5 I think white is better but I'm not sure. - Giri) 11...Nb6 12.Qc2 Qxa4 13.b3 isn't as good as in the game for white.]

11.Qxc4

[11.Bd2 Qh5 12.Qxc4 e5 was Giri's initial plan.]

11...Nb6

Finally this seems to be new.

[11...e5 1-0 Ilincic,Z (2555)-Blagojevic,D (2450)/Nis 1996/EXT 1999 (41); 11...e5]

12.Qc2 Qxa4

Fabiano Caruana

Anish Giri

Position after 12....Qxa4

"Very, very risky, I think he played it because otherwise he's just worse." - Giri.

[12...Qf5 13.Qb3 and white's pieces are quite awkward.]

13.b3 Qa5

[13...Qb5 14.Ne5 and black is also struggling. 14...Bxe5 (14...c5 15.Nc3; 14...Nbd7; 14...Nbd5 15.Nd3 Nb6 16.Nc5 Nbd7 17.Ba3 with at least enough compensation.) 15.Nc3 Qb4 16.dxe5 with Ba3 to follow.]

14.Ne5 Nbd7

[14...Bxe5 15.Bd2 Qb5 16.Nc3 Qb4 17.dxe5 Nfd7 18.Nd5]

15.Nc4 Qc7 16.Nxd6

[16.e4 Be7 17.Nc3 Nb6 in this kind of position you can miss a move and it's pretty much level.]

16...Qxd6

Fabiano Caruana

Anish Giri

Position after 16...Qxd6

Grabbing the two bishops after which white will always have some kind of compensation for the pawn.

17.Rd1 e5

Anish Giri thinks that black did this a little bit out of desperation.

[17...Re8 18.e4 Qe7 and white is clearly on top. Now there is a massacre.]

18.Nc3!

After finding this black's position disintegrates very quickly.

[18.dxe5 Qxe5 initially Giri thought this was very good for white but couldn't find anything special after a think. 19.Bf4 Qh5]

18...exd4 19.Ba3

Fabiano Caruana

Anish Giri

Position after 19.Ba3

19...c5?

This works out dreadfully. White is now winning.

[19...Qe5 20.Bxf8 Nxf8 21.Ne4 and Giri realised he was clearly better. 21...Bf5 (21...Nxe4 22.Qxe4 Qxe4 23.Bxe4) 22.Qc5! It was important to understand that this is something that white wants to get.]

20.e3 d3

[20...Qc7 21.exd4 Re8 22.dxc5 wins]

21.Rxd3 Qb8 22.Nd5 Nxd5 23.Rxd5

What follows is just grusome. Every piece ends up pointed at black's king whilst he can't develop at all.

23...b6

This or b5 was black's last big idea for counterplay. But white won't take the exchange back.

24.Bb2 a5

"From now on I was trying to find a way to give my queen." said Giri who is obviously winning here but has a number of ways to go about it.

25.Ra4

[25.Rh5 g6 26.Qf5 might well have done this but in a way the way the game finishes is even nicer.]

25...Re8 26.Rg5 g6 27.Bd5 Kf8

Giri was looking for flashy queen sacrifices but instead does something even more impressive forcing resignation without executing any of his threats.

28.Rf4

Fabiano Caruana

Anish Giri

Position after 28.Rf4

There is not a single reason for black to continue.

1-0

Hou Yifan vs Viswanthan Anand

Viswanathan Anand is playing as well as he has done for some time. Today he completely outplayed Hou Yifan after surviving a tricky opening phase. However Anand does have a long record of carelessness in technical endings and he simply threw away a win when he was very close to brining it home.
