    Nice game . Black clearly hoped to get knight vs rook endgame, which would be draw, but that one extra white pawn in final line was too much to handle
    11:09
    Rook showed its strenght in endgame. To kill all black pawns and to push black king on last rank, pretty much out of the battlefield was easy

  • @RaniaIsAwesome
    @RaniaIsAwesome Před 6 měsíci +1

    Carlsen has never been big on mainlines. He represents a general shift in top level chess away from long mainlines, in part due to how computers can assist with tricky sidelines so the player who first deviates to a pet sideline can have an advantage.

    • @Christoff070
      @Christoff070 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Good attacking idea, but black can take the knight with the pawn first. So; nf6+ gxf6
      ef6 bxf6
      This way the bishop recaptures and can defend the black king.
      Also note that even with the line u mentioned, black can just sidestep with king and then bring his rook to g8. If white tries rh3 to threaten checkmate on h7 black also has f5 to block the diagonal, and white doesn't have enough fire-power near the black king to maintain the attack

    I play chess as the most basic beginner level. I make many blunders, but I had gotten bored with the standard openings and trying various "plow" techniques to just evade the whole center to make their first few moves trivial with pressure at the sides. Basically I found either I smashed through or got blocked up and kind of congested in my corner but was a lot of fun. At my skill though its still bad chess I am sure.

      Until meta changes for the opening center, it basically makes the white player get the second move making them the defense but they still did take the difrst move, and it comes into play later... tricky stuff for a master to pull off.

    Maggs really does have a 12 rook long member! What domination again. If he wanted to still be "champion" he would be. No one takes that crown for years if he didnt decide to walk away, and he walked away to have fun competing in all other areas of the game. If he stayed as champ then hed probably defend it 5 or 6 more times easily. But he went gentleman mode and allowed ian and ding to compete for a big trophy which 2nd place normally would never get
