In particular, in the 30th to 40th steps, I had great advantages, but because of time constraint, I stepped a mistake to the 40th round, and lost an important pawn. Nevertheless, I think the follow-up situation was still good, but my opponent was very good defensively, and I finally resorted to a draw. "They are playing with elephants! 😀

Hehe, best name EVAH!~
I for one enjoyed his fashionable red Chinese silk shirt, it was a bold stroke. But he is quickly becoming the monster at the board everyone thought he would be. Magrrysus Carlsparov...it just sounds scary!! 😲

the guy's actually from Norway. I thought he was Kasparovs' homeboy. How do they communicate. Don't tell me in English???
(garri speaks fine english, and although I don't know how well magnus speaks it, shouldn't be a big problem as norwegian is so similar to english. -although, if magnus really spoke of elephants, instead of it being a translation glitch, it would suggest he speaks russian. which would make it all real simple. but I suspect it's a translation thing.)
