You always say “brothers” for the knights, and you are correct to say so.

I feel like g5 at 8:40 should be routine for a world-class player. I didn't spot it, but in hindsight it's pretty obvious. What's interesting is that Carlsen missed the most direct win, which was 1. g5 hxg5 2. Bxg5 Bd8 3. h6! immediately (thanks to the engine for that). ...Kd6 at 9:46 is a blunder; Caruana should hold with ...Be7.

Magnus's end-game is SCARY.

Drama King Magnus's end game tactics are masterful, even under timed pressure he's cool calm collected and laser focused.

Magnus asked me what move to make that time. You’re welcome Magnus, keep killin it.

According to the 7-piece tablebase, the position at 11:56 is a draw with perfect play. From there, Ke3, Ke6, and Kd3 are all correct but, at 12:05, Caruana plays the losing move Be5. Instead, the only two drawish moves would have been Be1 or Be2.

When the time ran out the position showed -2 for black but there was no clear way forward. Great feeling to beat a GM but if he had time I'm sure he could've salvaged it in the endgame

At the point where the commenter says that the engine says that the position is even, and then Caruana plays Ke5 giving up the c5 pawn, it seems that almost any other move is better. White needs to show a plan for progress if Black just keeps the Bishop on the a1-h8 diagonal and moves the King around d6-c6 protecting the c5 pawn.

Nah, it's just the usual engine-time. You put in a move, the engine starts to evaluate every move, and first thinks "oh, I can take, I'm up 2 pawns" - then it continues with this line, sees that five, six, seven moves later the pawn will advance to a queen and you're down material. It's not like there is a winning move for black, it's just that the engine takes some time to evaluate/calculate the position. A really, really short time, but for a quick second the eval bar changes.

@griffinq8003

Жыл бұрын

You would have to give a time stamp, the knight and pawn were in those positions for like the first 4 minutes of the video. If you're talking about the very beginning, before it was defended, 1:09 until the a and d pawns began to move, i can't tell you why Fabi didn't take it, I would assume he just didn't want to go with that line. But its not a bad move at all as far as I know. Computer seems to think its fine, but not one of the best moves. My guess is that the knight is just in a vulnerable position there with no defenders. There's really not a piece on the board the can go to defend it, (the d pawn would be hanging, and the f pawn would open up the diagonal for checks and is normally a horrible idea to move early in the game before you have castled. So it can be easily kicked out by white just continuing his development, meaning fabi just has to move the knight again at the cost of developing another piece. Really the only thing I can think of, but im not that good either, so if there is a tactic im missing, someone should feel free to share

@@griffinq8003 Thank you so much for your comment. That makes total sense. I was, as you guessed correctly, referring to the beginning of the game before the pawn was defended.

As a novice I tend to take too many pawns that are 'presented' to me without thinking about the consequences.

@Mikael_Puusaari

Жыл бұрын

I think it is because at high level u play after already established routines quite often, especially in the first half of the game and hope that the opponent doesn't remember the or figure out what u are going for, in such games 2 moves for just 1 pawn isn't worth it when u are giving the opponent 2 extra movements to get pieces into important positions, white would immediately move a pawn forward to threaten the knight which would have to move back and then white has another move to get ahead of movements for the usual tactics I would probably go for the pawn since I am an intuitive player and just having the advantage of one less pawn for a diamond formation always makes it more interesting to see how the game developes from there 🙂

Right, so /each/ player has a clock of their own, which records the amount of time they have left. Each clock starts at 3m and ticks down, with 1s added to a player's clock every time that player makes a move. Only one player can lose on time. It's not like, say, basketball. So if you bleed down your clock, you're only disadvantaging yourself, and you could even lose. Make sense?

Boring, but effective! Most of his opponents try to play as solid as possible against him, and he can patiently outplay them all by maintaining a tempo advantage and consistently testing them throughout the game. Even if he loses tempo or even the advantage, he still finds a way to force his opponents to find 1 or 2 precise moves in most positions and earn their victory the hard way. Magnus takes what his opponent offers in big tournaments, so if you watch him and Hikaru, you will see many tactical games and exciting/creative moves. If you want creativity and excitement, watch his less serious games he plays while streaming. You can’t fault the man for playing winning chess! If he plays too creatively, he leaves the door open for these super GMs to get a distinct advantage. He’s playing Fabi in this game, do you expect him to open with H4?
