Javier Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Only two rounds ago, GM Alexey Shirov was coming last in the Tal memorial tournament (Moscow, 9-23rd of November 2007). However, he has now won two games in a row and is currently coming second after Kramnik. Here's Shirov's impressive win against Carlsen: [Event "2nd Tal Memorial"] [site "Moscow"] [Date "2007.??.??"] [Round "6"] [White "Shirov, Alexei"] [black "Carlsen, Magnus"] [Result "1-0"] [PlyCount "67"] [EventDate "2007.??.??"] <p> dangerous pawn on c6 and very active pieces.} Bxc2 20.
