12/7/2017 – Round five promised a lot more than what it yielded, but the audience won’t have left feeling the players did not deliver. Magnus Carlsen played a masterful game against Wesley So, achieving a won endgame, only to blunder it and draw. The winner of the day was once again Fabiano Caruana, who defeated Vishy Anand and now leads by a full point. Report with analysis by GM Tiger Hillarp-Persson. | Photo: Lennart Ootes

Round five
Short of an extraordinary run, the spotlight of every round will always start on board number one: Magnus Carlsen. While he has shown a desire to play and go for it, his overall performance has been slightly lacking as was seen in his first round game against Fabiano Caruana when he failed to convert a good position, one we normally expect him to win.
His game against Wesley So took that to another level and he will really be kicking himself for such a fine opportunity missed. Facing a strange novelty in the Berlin on move five(!), he proceeded to outplay his opponent in a vintage display. He maneuvered the game into a winning endgame, until he finally went astray.

Among the open games the only opening with which White can really fight for an advantage in the long term is the Ruy Lopez. But in order to make this serious effort, he has buckle down and learn a whole series of sub-variations. That is what the professionals do, including of course Viktor Bologan, who now reveals the secrets of his own grandmaster repertoire.
The missed win will grate at him, being the perfectionist he is, but it did show flashes of the brilliance his fans are waiting for him to unleash (and his opponents praying he won’t).
Another game that failed to live up to its promise was that between Levon Aronian and Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. The Frenchman is the one player with a genuine chance of denying Carlsen of the overall Grand Chess Tour, but he absolutely needs to outscore him. In his game against the Armenian, he had black in an 3.f3 line of the Grunfeld. A novelty by Aronian with 15.Bc5 quickly went sour, and Black got the upperhand. This was the window of opportunity MVL needed and now had his chance. After two moves he made an imprecision and was in danger of losing his advantage in its entirety.

Black seemed to lose confidence in his ability to fight to win it, and rushed to simplify and draw the game with 19…Ne3, which concluded the game in a repetition a few moves later. However, he could have played 19…b5! and fought for his place under the sun.

Afterwards Aronian explained what happened, including a mild ribbing of commentator Maurice Ashley:
Finally, the last and most impacting game was obviously the win by Fabiano Caruana over Vishy Anand. Without further ado, here are the instructive explanations by GM Tiger Hillarp-Persson.
Fabiano Caruana 1-0 Vishy Anand (annotated by GM Tiger Hillarp-Persson)

Really, much of what goes on in these games is beyond our understanding; especially how hard it is to actually handle these things over the board without an engine as help.

Round five commentary

Or playing a game and having some sort of cramp which resulted the pawn ending up on f3 instead of f4.
Harri Rudanko 12/10/2017 10:37
I might be prejudiced, but in my opinion the worst possible move it 1.f3. I want to move the pawn, but not so that it is a hindrance to the knight. Still, if one ended up at the board where that move was played, one wouldn't resign.
Harri Rudanko 12/10/2017 10:32
Any opening is respectable, as long as it doesn't hand the advantage to the opponent. I cannot work with 1.g4, though there is this famous rapid game between Karpov and Polgar. For me, I don't see what the g4 achieves. But more innocuosly, 1. Na3 or 1. Nh3 doesn't lose the game. It isn't very productive, but still white has a slight advantage if they can make use of it. The surprise facter of black will play a part. One is playing another human, not the position.
Harri Rudanko 12/10/2017 08:16
Yes, indeed, in the future as black I will play simply 1.b4 f5. The f5 doesn't address the b4, but it doesn't have to, it's simply playing on the different side of the board. And I won't have to dither.
Harri Rudanko 12/9/2017 02:43
Both 1. f4 and 1. b4 make many of my black schemes impossible. I will have to think of secondary schemes. Usually there are many options of course, but those two opening moves make all of those impossible from the start.
Harri Rudanko 12/9/2017 02:23
Polish opening, 1.b4 is respectable also, I recall I have an even worse record against it, 1. f4 I am out of all the white openings uncomfortable against, but I don't know how to deal with, or rather how I want to deal with 1.b4. Taking the pawn with the bishop is such a natural thing, yet goes countergrain to all my other openings. I end up dithering about it, lose time, and end up making a second-rate move.
Harri Rudanko 12/8/2017 12:46
Bird opening, all that latent pressure where some wrong movement of a piece might incompasitate it, where everything just slowly moves into an advantage during 30 moves. I'll make a mistake sooner, and then it ruins all the effort.
Harri Rudanko 12/8/2017 12:05
In that case of someone winning every game, getting money for them all and so accumulating as much from those as from the prize for first place, one would consider the first place money the money for the winning of the tournament, the money for the games won the money for having brought in the spectators. Risking and losing also brings in spectators, but sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. The exact ratio would of course be for the tournament management, but even-even is all I can come up with now. A pittance will not make a difference either.
There, business consultance for free. If it is of any use, I would like my openings used more. I shouldn't say, but it doesn't make any practical difference, I am an amateur and seldom get to play a long game. On white I play exclusively 1.e4, Vienna game or King's gambit, or Closed sicilian or Grand Prix, Exchange French and Caro-Kann, whatever to Alkehine, Scandinavian, Pirc, Nimzowich. As black French and Dutch, I like the Dutch so much I'll try to make 1.c4 into a Dutch. And else from white I'll try to make into a reverse white. Though I respect the Bird opening, I'm just not good enough to play it as white.
I think the players draw half the time out of practical considerations, so to have less draws, one must skew or tilt those considerations. Anything else is artificial.
Consultance fo
Harri Rudanko 12/8/2017 09:42
I would like themed tournaments where the opening is mandated randomly just before the round, though I don't know if there's then an issue on the game being good for ratings.
I might propose such a prosaic solution to too many draws as a small monetary reward for winning any game. Draws and losses would earn naught. In round robin tournaments. Just as an encouragement for people to win despite tournament considerations. I don't think it would have to be astronomical, perhaps if one won every game, the prize money for winning the tournament would be doubled? I don't know, but there should be an encouragement to risk even tournament position.
Resistance 12/8/2017 06:51
Hard fought round; good games. A sharp encounter between Levon and Maxime, ended in a early three-fold repetition after no more progress could be made by either side. Magnus, on his part, got close to win this time, but So's skillful handling of the position allowed the latter to split the point after 68 moves. Nepomniachtchi made an effort to complicate things against Sergei, but the latter's solid play allowed only for a draw. Nakamura chose the Dragon again in his game against Adams, and after a slightly tense middlegame phase, they called it a day as things never got off to anything real for any of the two (draw). Fabiano's beautiful fighting chess, on the other hand, gave him his second victory, and extended his lead over the rest of the field (his interesting and aggressive setup against Vishy's Berlin might've caught the old tiger a little off-guard).

Why cant Anand create some counter attack by Qa5?
Uommibatto 12/8/2017 02:13
"Never move your Bishop to d2 or d7 unless you have a clear idea of why you are doing it." Great advice! Both Hillarp and Yermo throw out these informative gems like Dorothy Parker tossing off quips.
