Gunina (a member of the Russian chess Olympiad team). She says, that she knows what is happening with Carlsen! She says that he was disappointed by the first loss and lost an interest in chess and spend too much time in women's company. That's understandable ... (The interview, in Russian: http://chessmoscow.ru/index.php?topicID=2). So he just need a bit more time to recover ... :-).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459360717297142573.post-71524190331243746702010-10-11T13:31:15.738+11:002010-10-11T13:31:15.738+11:00I think Carlsen is going through a stage of develo...I think Carlsen is going through a stage of development. I think this because of some of strange choices he's been making in standard positions, where he would obviously have the choice of a more 'normal' GM move. I think his game against Adams in the Olympiad, with his desire for complicatons out of book is a telling sign.
