If you're still 1700 then there's no way you would ever have become a GM even with coaching.

SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 3:25pm On Sep 03, 2017
Femi has resigned as the threats are just unguardable..

great game tho..want to see how he does with white

the final position is the one above
SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 3:23pm On Sep 03, 2017
He has to guard against this two move mate

SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 3:21pm On Sep 03, 2017
Femi has been crushed...

He has weaknesses on his queenside...his attack in the queenside is passive...He will prolly resign in the next couple of moves

Wahala wa oo.... Magnus beginning to get dangerous...slowly crushing Femi

c4 has now been played by white
SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 3:11pm On Sep 03, 2017
Femi appears to be making subtle inaccuracies, now c4 is a good break for white

Balogun giving Magnus a run for his money... H file battleground.. Magnus hoping to counterplay on the queenside

Balogun has been winning the hearts of a lot of chess fans ... He's done quite well for himself. cheesy cheesy

A draw will be an excellent result!!!!

The game beginning to look quite tight for black... This is Magnus territory cry

SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 2:32pm On Sep 03, 2017
Magnus plays Qg4 seeking Queen exchange??

Should Femi accept? I think so.... as this will prolly help him draw (generally queens off the board become drawish with accurate play)

SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 2:29pm On Sep 03, 2017
Femi plays f4 threatening f3!!

SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 2:26pm On Sep 03, 2017
Femi behind on time. In times like this magnus will start grinding the guy slowly. Lets hope Femi doesnt start making errors. cos the longer the game goes on, the more you go into magnus comfort territory
SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 2:21pm On Sep 03, 2017
Balogun playing really really well today.. impressive...

SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 2:18pm On Sep 03, 2017
Balogun plays f5...Game is balanced and Balogun is doing great. I think he was lucky to play carlsen cos of the way he plays.. if twas all those GM wey their head dey hot them for don dey nack am akpako..

Carlsen is a slow crushing player, so even if it takes a while, you go still lose
SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 2:08pm On Sep 03, 2017
Femi chased he bishop with a6

SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 2:06pm On Sep 03, 2017
As expected he develops his b1 knight to a3.

Good books for black are a6 and f5

Black's Knights can play a vital row the toggle for the center

SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 2:01pm On Sep 03, 2017
Balogun playing quite well... Chose Qc8

Carlsen needs to start looking at his remaining knight and bishop at his back rank who have not been developed
SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 1:58pm On Sep 03, 2017
Magnus plays Bb5, trying to instigate c6 from black. As this will allow the d5 pawn to clear a the d file for his D1 rook mounting some presure on blacks d pawn.

Black can play either c8 or d8 as c6 is completely out of it

SportsRe: Magnus Carlsen Vs Femi Balogun - Chess Cup Match 2017 by yorex2011(op): 1:52pm On Sep 03, 2017
After Carlsen Qe2 (why??), Balogun accepts the invitation to bring his knight to h5 to harrass the queen via f4
