Magnus Carlsen DESTROYS Richard Rapport’s French Defense! | Grenke Chess Classic 2024

Magnus Carlsen destroys Richard Rapport and his sketchy French Defense in today’s epic video! In the game Richard Rapport plays the Winaver variation of the French Defense, and Magnus wastes no time starting his attack with 7.Qg4!
Of course things only escalated from there, with Magnus Carlsen sacrificing several pieces, including “THE ROOK” against his lower-rated opponent!
There were some brilliant attacking ideas displayed by Magnus Carlsen in this game, so make sure to watch until the end! And of course, Gotham Chess and Hikaru were SHOCKED!
