Commentaries by GM Alexander Delchev

Round 9 (LIVE): Radjabov-Carlsen (½-½)
In the first stage Radjabov defeated Carlsen as black in his speciality - King Indian defence - Now it is time for a revenge. I expect from Radjabov a very solid approach - normal for him when he has white... see game with commentary


Round 7: Nakamura-Carlsen (0-1)
I think in this game Carlsen had perfect position after the opening and only in the deep endgame he failed to bring home the deserved point. What improvement does Nakamura have in mind?... see game with commentary


Round 3: Karjakin-Carlsen (½-½)
Lucky outcome for Karjakin who was in a very bad position for the most of the game. Not typical for Carlsen who is missing very rarely such occasions... see game with commentary


Round 1: Carlsen-Mamedyarov (1-0)
Mamedyarov lost twice in Ragozin defence in Candidates 2014 against Anand and Aronian. Now he chooses Cambridge Springs - in Queen gambit Declined - known for its solid reputation... see game with commentary
