Carlsen's grim determination means Candidates destiny back in his own hands

The FIDE Candidates tournament round 13 saw almost unbearable tension over 7 hours before the final results were in. Vladimir Kramnik held a half point lead and he had white against Boris Gelfand whereas Magnus Carlsen who was half a point behind had black against a really dispirited Teimour Radjabov. The results were a win for Carlsen and a draw for Kramnik. This means the two are tied on 8.5/13 with a round to go. Carlsen has an extra win (and an extra loss!) compared to Kramnik which means so long as he matches Kramnik's result in the final round he will qualify for a World Chess Championship match against Viswanthan Anand. I really believe that these tie-break criterion are just plain wrong and if they tie they should have been a rapid and if necessary blitz play off scheduled but it's too late now.

Does this mean that Carlsen is big favourite to qualify? I don't believe so. Today Carlsen's and Kramnik's last round opponents met and Peter Svidler clearly was seeing very good lines in beating Vassily Ivanchuk who eventually lost his 5th game on time 4 moves short of the time control. In addition whilst Kramnik looks very tired he played pretty well against Gelfand (who also played quite well). Carlsen looked completely done in at his press conference and was remarkably candid about his bad mental state after his loss to Ivanchuk. Carlsen didn't play all that well today but he forced himself to play on against an opponent in an equal position until time and his opponent's complete lack of confidence won him the game. Carlsen was not elated at his press conference he won because "as long as I couldn't lose I had to keep on playing." He summed up his final round chances "I don't know I just know that now I'm back in the running and that's, after my last game, that's all I can ask for."

On Monday we will see chess history written, almost certainly not great chess. In all honesty much though we like to see the best player win it's more likely to come down to something random. Carlsen probably is slight favourite as two draws will see him through and he has white and Kramnik has black but the other factors may come into play more. Carlsen plays a relaxed Svidler with white, Kramnik has black but he faces Ivanchuk who lost yet again in this round. I know which pairing I'd rather face if I were them (rather than being me...)

Round 13 Standings: Carlsen, Kramnik 8.5/13 (Carlsen qualifies if he matches Kramnik's R14 result), Aronian, Svidler 7, Grischuk, Gelfand 6, Ivanchuk 5, Rajdabov 4.

Final Round Pairings: 14: Carlsen-Svidler, Ivanchuk-Kramnik, Gelfand-Grischuk, Aronian-Radjabov.

Magnus Carlsen surprised Teimour Radjabov with an unusual line in the Nimzo-Indian and got a small initiative and probable advantage but that had completely gone by first time control. Carlsen was very pessimistic at this stage. Rajdabov got into time trouble and in the end was surviving on the 30 second increment and crumbled.

Carlsen quotes:

It was tough, I was really upset after the last game, I couldn't sleep and I wasn't feeling so great today and I think I got a pleasant position at some point but I couldn't make any of it and then we got this endgame which is basically equal but I felt because of the tournament situation I have to try and take whatever little chance I might have.

What's going to happen tomorrow against Peter Svidler?

"I don't know I just know that now I'm back in the running and that's, after my last game, that's all I can ask for." - Carlsen.

Carlsen was asked what he did on the free day to be so psychologically strong in this game?

"I didn't really cope with the pressure in the last round before that so I don't think you should praise me too much for that. Since the last game I tried to focus on this one somehow but it wasn't too easy. But I had to play and it wasn't easy but I just did what I needed to do."

Didn't you think trying would expose you to a loss?

"I tried to keep some kind of balance. I noticed at some point when I played Ke5 there there was a little chance of getting mated I didn't see that so, ignorance is bliss. I think that there are virtually no losing chances for black it's very, very difficult to see how I'm going to win it's many, many moves ahead and I need cooperation but as long as I couldn't lose I had to keep on playing."

"The fact that the entire kingside is fixed on the light squares is not [good news for Carlsen]" - Svidler. "Of us two Magnus is still the better endgame technician so he probably knows something I don't." Svidler.

"I thought around the time control that this isn't going to happen. I had no choice but to keep on going and fortunately he eventually crumbled." Carlsen didn't think he was really going to manage to win around this stage.

Teimour Radjabov

Position after 47...Rb7

"In this position I don't have to exchange rooks in fact because it's not very hard for me to play." Radjabov who thought at the very least it was a practical mistake. "I was happy with the exchange of rooks because I think that increases my winning chances very slightly although the position is still a draw obviously. Probably it was a draw right until the end. I mean I don't know I couldn't calculate but I managed to keep the game going and he made enough mistake that it was like a win."

Position after 64...a4

"Maybe I didn't have to play a4, it was an important moment somehow. Which is ridiculous also from a practical point of view." Radjabov.

[64.Nd2 Kd6 "and it's maybe a draw. In my hands I'm not so sure." - Radjabov.]

Kramnik-Gelfand

Vladimir Kramnik yet again surprised if not shocked his opponent in the opening. Kramnik got a big time advantage and a better position but Boris Gelfand kept active and at first time control the position does seem to just about hold for him.

FIDE Candidates London ENG (13.3), 31.03.2013

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.g3 c6 4.Bg2 d5 5.e3

"I think in a practical sense it's a good choice. I doubt such a move can give an advantage. Finally I think I got a bit better position out of the opening. Maybe he introduce more than all of us altogether. Even on move 5 he always comes up with a great idea." - Kramnik. "Quite an interesting move it's amazing how many moves Vladimir can introduce." - Gelfand.

5...dxc4

[5...Bg7 6.Ne2 Nbd7 7.cxd5 cxd5 8.Nbc3 with already a very comfortable position for white according to Gelfand.]

6.Ne2

"Of course there are many ways to protect the pawn and then the game gets very sharp and of course the one who has checked it with the computer has some advantage always." - Kramnik.

6...Bg7 7.0-0 0-0 8.Na3 Nbd7

[8...Be6 and the computer gives some "very strange" lines according to Kramnik which are supposedly better for black.]

9.Nxc4

"A comfortable plus for white but it's very solid for black anyway." - Kramnik.

16...h5 17.Rd3

"Rd3 is probably not a bad move but Boris played very well because now..." Kramnik. "Only moves already" - Gelfand.

17...Nd5

"Blacks position is kind of active but just blow a little bit and it collapses." - Kramnik.

Svidler-Ivanchuk

Peter Svidler played an interesting game against Vassily Ivanchuk in a French Defence but then Ivanchuk missed the probable best as he got into severe time pressure and was left with about a minute for 10 moves in a much worse position and obviously lost.

Position after 17.Bc5

"I tried working out what's going on here but it's very difficult." - Svidler.

[17...h5 Svidler didn't have any direct threats so thought this might be possible. "Just to stop Bh5 forever. I will never have this option ever again." - Svidler. 18.Rc1 h4 19.Nd6+ Bxd6 20.Bxd6 Nc4; 17...a6 18.Nd4 "With very, very nice compensation for the pawn." Svidler.]

[23.bxc4 Bxc4 24.Re1 Bd6 "and black has a very solid structure. I don't see why I'm playing for a win here." - Svidler]

23...Qf5

Probably not the best according to Svidler.

[23...Nd6! 24.Qxd5 Kd7!! "And this position is very, very tricky." Svidler spotted this whilst waiting for Ivanchuk to move. 25.Qxa8 Bc6 26.Qxb8 Qf3 27.Qa7+ Kc8 28.Qa6+ Equal. 28...Kc7 29.Qa7+ (29.Kf1 Qg2+ 30.Ke2 Bb5+ 31.Qxb5 Nxb5 "Probably OK for black objectively but I can continue playing." - Svidler.) 29...Nb7 30.Be5+ Kd7 31.Rad1+ Ke7 32.Kf1 Bb5+ 33.Rd3 Bxd3+ 34.Kg1 Bf5 "draws, well good luck finding that."

Peter Svidler

Position after 28.a4

"I'm not entirely sure about 28.a4, this may have been a mistake. I was trying very hard not to play against the flag but against somebody who will have a minute in a second a move like this giving him a plethora of options is maybe not such a bad idea." - Svidler.

28...Qg4

"Qg4 came as a bit of a shock frankly but I don't think the variation changes very much I can play Qe3." - Svidler.

29.Qe3 h4

Achieves nothing but black is in trouble on the board and clock.

Vassily Ivanchuk

Peter Svidler

Position after 31.hxg3

"This has to be lost objectively and also against half a minute I'm favourite to convert this I think." - Svidler.

31...Bd8

"Everything is collapsing because there are so many weaknesses." Svidler.

32.Bf4 Re7 33.Bg5 Kd7 34.Bxe7 Bxe7 35.Kg2 Bc5 36.f3 Qf5 37.Qg7+

"And here Vassily lost on time but the evaluation shouldn't be in much doubt." - Svidler. "I'm guaranteed a non-negative score which is very important."

1-0

Grischuk-Aronian

Most probably Aronian just wants to go home. Grischuk made him work reasonably hard for a draw. I didn't see their press conference so there isn't much I can say about their game.
