Sergey Karjakin leads the Norway Supreme Masters with 5.5/7 after defeating Hikaru Nakamura in the final game to finish on the beautiful island of Flor & Fjaere. The players had to travel there by boat and unfortunately the weather was not nice but looking at the website the place certainly looks amazing. Magnus Carlsen remains half a point behind after defeating fellow countryman Jon Ludvig Hammer.
Sergey Karjakin got into a little trouble on the white side Najdorf Sicilian he clearly didn't expect. Nakamura however didn't play precisely and after 19...e6?! the position was more or less equal, 23...Ne5 looks active but was probably another error and after 30.Rd7 Karjakin was up Queen and Pawn for Knight and Rook. The position remained complicated but the win was only a matter of time.
Magnus Carlsen defeated Jon Ludvig Hammer with black in an Open Catalan where he was more or less equal out of the opening but Hammer had an active position which he should have been able to use to liquidate to a draw. The turning point seems to have been the combined effect of Carlsen falling very short of time which indicated to Hammer that Carlsen thought he was in trouble and the move 25...Kf8 which completely threw Hammer. Hammer's position started to become tricky after 27.Nb5?, 32.b4! leads to a position that might well be drawn and finally 33.exd5 offers reasonable holding chances too and even at the end Hammer might have threatened a mating net but in fact Carlsen can break that. Carlsen was very tired at the end and the rest day didn't come a moment too soon for him.
Levon Aronian played very riskily against Wang Hao as black 11...Ne8 and 13...f6?! Aronian missed 16.Nb3 and 17...Qc7 18. c4! would have been very good for white. White remained better but after that Aronian gradually escaped.
Viswanathan Anand destroyed Teimour Radjabov after the latter played one bad move after another allowing him to advance his queenside pawns for a decisive advantage. Anand was sympathetic and right up front didn't claim much for his play today. "He had I think one of the worst days ever. He's been in bad shape for a while, a couple of months now, today some of his moves [shaking his head] were clearly... it's one of those days."
Peter Svidler and Veselin Topalov had a friendly animated press conference (very worth watching) about their draw in the Sicilian Bb5. Svidler realised his pre-game idea of 9.Nbd2 to be followed soon by Nc4 wasn't very good and so tried to liquidate to equality with 11.e5 before he ended up worse. Topalov felt so comfortable and later he got careless with 18...Nb4?! instead of 18...Bxg5 with a quick draw to follow. Svidler got a favourable pawn ending which may even be winning for him but instead of playing his planned 24.b4 he played 24.f4? almost immediately making sure the game was drawn.
Round 7 Standings: Karjkin 5.5pts, Carlsen 5pts, Anand, Aronian 4pts, Nakamura, Svidler 3.5pts, Topalov 3pts, Wang Radjabov 2.5pts, Hammer 1.5pts.
Round 8 on Friday following the rest day 17th May 2013. 2pm BST. Carlsen-Wang, Topalov-Aronian, Anand-Hammer, Nakamura-Radjabov, Svidler-Karjkin.

7.dxc4 Be7 8.Nc3 0-0 9.Nh4
[9.h3 Wang Hao didn't want to waste a tempi winning the two bishops "somehow I thought it would be important." 9...Bxf3]
9...c6 10.h3 Bh5 11.g4 Ne8
"This Ne8 is kind of a strange move I wasn't sure about it but then I thought it's interesting keeps some pieces on the board." - Aronian.
12.Nf3 Bg6 13.Bf4
All very natural.
13...f6?!
Levon Aronian
Wang Hao
[13...a5 I was planning to play a5 here. - Aronian. 14.Qd2; 13...Nef6 14.Rc1 (14.Qc1) ]
14.Nd4 Nc5
[14...Bf7 I understand I don't make a very good impression on you guys but I'm not that weak - Aronian. 15.Bxc6 bxc6 (15...Nc5 16.Bxb7) 16.Nxc6 wins for white.]
15.Be3 a5
Levon Aronian
Wang Hao
16.Nb3
Nb3 I blundered [the new GM word for missed] I confess. Aronian who said if he saw Nb3 he would have never gone for the f6 "stuff".
[16.Bxc6 bxc6 17.Nxc6 Qc7 18.Nd5 exd5 19.Qxd5+ Ne6 Is extremely important according to Aronian and it works for equality but Kh8 seems fine too. (19...Kh8 20.Nxe7 Nb7 21.Nxg6+ hxg6; 19...Bf7? 20.Nxe7+ Qxe7 21.Qxa8) 20.Nxe7+ Qxe7 21.Qxa8 f5 and black is in time with his counterplay.]
16...Nd7 17.Na4 Qc7?
Levon Aronian
Wang Hao
Qc7 is a very bad move making things worse according to Aronian.
[17...Nd6 18.Qc1 h5 (18...e5) 19.Rd1 and Aronian had a bad feeling about this position which is probably a correct evaluation. 19...Qc7 ]
18.Nbc5?!
[18.c5 "and black is close to big trouble" according to Aronian and this was also the suggestion of Ronan Ronen Har-Zvi in commentary with me on ICC and it looks very convincing. 18...h5 19.Nb6 (19.f4) 19...Nxb6 20.cxb6 Qe5 21.Qd4 Qb5]
18...Nxc5 19.Nxc5 Bf7 20.Qd7 Bxc5 21.Qxc7 Nxc7 22.Bxc5 Rfc8 23.f4
[23.Rfd1 e5 24.Rd7 Bxc4 25.g5 Ne6 was a line Aronian gave for white but it's just very good for black.]

Levon Aronian
Wang Hao
Possibly too risky for black.
[29...Nd4 30.Bxd4 exd4 31.Rxd4 a4 32.b4 Rxe2 33.b5 Ra2 "Now I have to calculate lines and I'm not in the age for that." - Aronian and both players laugh.]
30.Be4 Nf4 31.Bxf4 exf4 32.Bd3 g5
Levon Aronian
Wang Hao
I saw this g5 idea and I thought it's precise and then I got scared during the game somehow - Aronian.
33.Rxh6 Kg7 34.Rh7+ Kg8 35.Rh6 Kg7 36.Rh7+
[36.Rd6 Re3 37.Kh2 Rg3! Probably I played precisely without realising it - Aronian.]

Jon Ludvig Hammer
"Anything here is about equal." - Carlsen.
21...Rd5
[21...Rxd2 22.Qxd2 Qxc5 23.Ne5 f6 is not desirable and otherwise it's not so easy to drive away the knight. (23...h6 24.Qf4) ]
22.Rxd5
Maybe this is a little dangerous after Ng5. - Carlsen.
[22.Ng5]
22...Nxd5 23.Qe5 Qxc5
[23...Rxc5 24.Ng5 Nc3 25.Qd6 and white is doing quite well. - Carlsen.]
24.Bh3
[24.Nd4 Nc3 25.Qxc5 bxc5 26.bxc3 cxd4 27.cxd4 Bxe2 28.Re1 is equal.]
24...Re8 25.Nd4
Magnus Carlsen
Jon Ludvig Hammer
"I wasted so much time around here trying to figure out a way to keep the tension because I figured with the pawn configuration on the queenside if I could only consolidate I would be slightly better." - Carlsen. "I thought I was better here" - Hammer. "That's probably true but I was trying to find a way to consolidate." Carlsen.
[25.Ng5 Nf6 26.Qxc5 bxc5 And I don't think you're better here. Carlsen.]
25...Kf8
Magnus Carlsen
Jon Ludvig Hammer
"A really impressive move" - Hammer. "I think Kf8 was pretty sick and I think it won you the game."
[25...Qb4 was just too risky to contemplate for Carlsen for too little reward. 26.Nf5 Nf6 27.Nd6 Qxa4 28.Rd4 Qa1+ 29.Kh2; 25...Nc3 was the move Hammer thought Carlsen had to play. The fact that Carlsen was getting into time trouble, which he hardly ever does gave Hammer the impression he was pressing in this position. Kf8 completely disturbed his equalibrium.]
26.Bf1
Carlsen was down to only a few minutes to get to move 40 but now play becomes easier for him.
[26.e4 was the simplest if he just wanted to force a draw - Carlsen. 26...Nf6 27.Qxc5+ bxc5 28.Nb3 Nxe4 29.Nxa5 c4 30.Bf1 Nc5 But I didn't see a useful move for you apart from that - Carlsen.; 26.Bxe6 Nf6 27.Qf5! is equal. (27.Qe3? Qd6) ]
26...Rc8
"Now I was feeling pretty comfortable" - Carlsen who is planning Nf6 to exchange queens when his rook has the "good file" further away from the king which is always going to give Carlsen the advantage.
27.Nb5?
I think Nb5 is no good but it's not too easy to find an alternative - Carlsen.
[27.Nf5!? Probably objectively the best. 27...Nf6 28.Qxc5+ bxc5 29.Nd6 (29.Ne3 Rb8 30.Rc1 Nd7; 29.Rd6 might be the best with some reasonable holding chances. 29...Bc4 30.Ne3 Bb3 31.Ra6) 29...Rd8; 27.Bg2!? Nf6 28.Qxc5+ Rxc5 29.f4]
27...Bxb5 28.axb5 Nf6 29.Qd6+ Ke8 30.Qd3 Qd5!?
Magnus Carlsen
Jon Ludvig Hammer
"If I allow Bg2 to e6 I will have practically nothing" - Carlsen.
31.Qxd5 exd5
If black gets another couple of moves to more or less consolidate with Rc5 or Rc2 "I will be more or less winning" - Carlsen. Hence Hammer's next.
[31...Nxd5 32.e4 Nb4 (32...Nf6!?) 33.Rd6 That didn't seem like something I should be aiming for. - Carlsen.]
32.e4?!
Magnus Carlsen
Jon Ludvig Hammer
[32.b4! I thought b4, that was the way to go. - Carlsen. 32...a4 33.Ra1 Ra8 34.Ra3 "It's very, very ugly but I thought perhaps the best drawing chance." - Carlsen. 34...Ne4 35.e3 Ke7 36.Be2 Kf6 37.Bd3 Nd6 38.Bc2 Nxb5 39.Rxa4 Rxa4 40.Bxa4 Nc3 41.Bb3]
32...Rc2
[32...dxe4 "I sort of panicked and went Rc2 here because I didn't really see this." - Carlsen. 33.Rd6 Rc2 (33...Rc1 34.Rxb6 Ng4 35.Rc6 Rxc6 36.bxc6 Ke7 (36...Ne5 I should be winning, I don't know - Carlsen.) ) 34.Rxb6]
33.e5?
[33.exd5 I thought you needed to take on d5 - Carlsen. 33...Rxb2 34.d6 Kd8 35.Rc1 Rd2 36.Rc6 Nd7 37.Bh3 a4 38.Kg2 f6 39.h5 g6 40.Rc7 Rxd6 41.Ra7 f5 42.hxg6 hxg6]
33...Ne4 34.Rxd5 Rxb2 35.Rd4
[35.Bg2 Nc5 36.Rd6 a4 37.Rxb6 a3 and as far as I could see it could not be stopped - Carlsen.]

[37...Ke7]
38.Bc6+ Ke7 39.Rd7+ Ke6
Magnus Carlsen

I was moderately worried I might get mated here. - Carlsen.
40.Ra7
[40.f4 a3 41.Kg2 (41.Rd6+ Kf5 42.Kg2 Rb3 (42...Nxb5!) ) 41...Nxb5! and black is not getting mated which is the thing that worried Carlsen in time trouble. (41...Rb3) ]
