Status, white's pawn on b2 hinders his bishop from developing

Re: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011: 12:13pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
Femi solves the problem of the b2 pawn by pushing c3, now he can castle, carlsen can continue his development with Nf6 preparing to castle while white can castle and push for e4 with good stake at the center

Re: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011: 12:16pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
Carlsen plays e5, Femi replies with a3, is he planning a b4 break. Wondering what his plan for his dark square bishop is

Femi has routed his knight, forcing black to do something about the c5 pawn

# I was following some comments a while ago about the game between Carlsene and Femi, many opinions there are Femi is good than his rating (rating comes based on the number of games played). Some even wished he progress to the next round. He's really a big trouble for Carlsene. 3 Likes |

AlBaqir: This is the same sequence as yesterday. Soon he'll enter blitz mode and then make mistakes under the time pressure. Watch the game between Cawdery Daniel (the South African) and Levon Aronian(World number 4) to understand what active chess is. |

the recent f3 move by femi chasing white's bishop could be a problem for him as he has shut his bishop off temporarily

Re: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011: 1:32pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
black is beginning to win space and f4 is a threat

Re: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011: 1:33pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
Magnus plays f4 and after the bishop retreat he play g5, the slow crush has begun

Re: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011: 1:44pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
Whites problems are beginning to compound....being constricted like a boa, his game is very very passive, which is not good for a player using white

Femi's position, move 30. Looking better.

Re: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by WackyJ1(m): 2:27pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
Femi was given serious problems. I predicted that Carlsen will try to bury Femi's bishop and then reroute his own to b6 as soon as he played f5. Femi was given serious problems and he solved them. That is very impressive.. |
Re: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011: 2:30pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
That e5 square must remain guarded, so Femi should not be tempted to push his d pawn, he can reroute his bishop to a more active square via f1 despite black's lone d pawn looking a lil weak, it cannot be easily reached. so it really isnt much of a weakness,

Re: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by KevinDein: 2:41pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
The commenters are saying that Balogun plays much better than his rating of 2200+. At least like a 2600. Dude has won himself lots of fans 1 Like |
