I’ve watched the forming of Magnus’ impenetrable fortress around his king at the end about 10 times in a row now, and still my mind is blown every time. The game is a masterpiece on his end. Magnus Carlsen is completely transcending the game of chess as we know it.

I love when Magnus decides to "play some real chess". Quit the book, enter some crazy unbalanced position and explain to his opponent why he didn't become World Champion by an accident.

If Magnus sacrifices his queen you are in great trouble... basically he is saying "I'm so sure I'll win you'd better resign"

If Magnus offers you his queen there's very little you can do.

Giri undoubtedly noticed it, but thought that his lead in development meant the position was good for him. Carlsen genius was to recognise that, as long as all the minor pieces were defending each other, it didn't matter how passive they were, white could never make any progress, while black could keep improving his pieces until he had a winnable endgame.

Like all the other comments, this has got to be one of Magnus's most brilliant games. Anish is no slouch in GM tactical play and what a shock and sudden "WTF" moment he must have had when Carlsen went with NxB?! He must have known in his heart of hearts that the proverbial rat-trap door had just closed behind him...wow! Astonishing play is never lost on Magnus; to our delight. Bravo Magnus, BRAVO!

I'm glad Anish allowed Magnus to Queen. Shows he's always a good sport and a gentleman

Great game! The beauty of having a complete set, except the queen, is that 2 knights, 2 bishops and 2 rooks can all work together to cause some major damage. The bishops can block the king on the dark and light squares, and 2 knights working in tandem are monsters.

Also when Magnus walked away after this victory and Giri stayed sitting at his computer just comprehending what had just happened for a minute. Giri looked beyond defeated there.

Magnus: Two horsies, two rooks, and two road runners... Giri: The Two Lonely Towers, one lone horsie, a neglected wi.. queen, and a king who is never gonna do much! Me: Sorry, Giri, but those are terrible odds... Best to bet on black..

I remember the unassailable reference. I think you read it in a book and you liked the word and you kept repeating it. Am I an excellent subscriber???

Another remarkable game from Magnus, and another one where one of pieces didnt move a muscle during entire game (g7 pawn in this case). Llike the immortal fortress against Hikaru Nakamura where c7 pawn never moved an inch.

Moving that black fortress down the board was a thing of beauty.

This was so cool to watch. I love seeing how the GMs coordinate their minor pieces against a queen. Amateurs often make some mistake and allow a fork or something.
