Judit had the black pieces today against Magnus Carlsen - yeah, that Magnus Carlsen. She lost, and it sounds pretty gruesome according to Mark Crowther: Magnus Carlsen took control of the 4th London Chess Classic after defeating Judit Polgar in deceptively simple style. ... Polgar played a kind of hedgehog setup against Carlsen's English and was slowly squeezed to death with 22...g6 being a serious error. The game:
1. c4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 e6 6. a3 Bc5 7. Nb3 Be7 8. e4 O-O 9. Be2 b6 10. O-O Bb7 11. Bf4 d6 12. Rc1 Rc8 13. Re1 Ne5 14. Nd2 Nfd7 15.

Game from Chessdom. Some analysis at The Week in Chess.
She has the white pieces against Anand tomorrow. I can't help but think that Judit will be very glad when this tournament is finally over.
