The bishop actually wasn’t doing much on e7. Magnus never was going to capture the knight with it, kh8 was always his idea. If anish moves the rook then he loses other rook. So move makes a lot of sense, magnus just had to make sure he wasn’t getting mated first but the bishop on e7 is not that strong of a defender as you may think

Magnus got me wanting to play the French Defense with this game 😂.

French is an amazing opening. Especially if you play it aggressively

"But if you play like Magnus, then it is very much playable" - a rare occasion when this statement has some real meaning

What a finish. Carlsen’s play is like a poem.

Thank you very much! Very interesting!

#suggestion magnus vs Hans round 2 With Hans quote "Chess speaks for itself." The way he walked off from the interview was gold lmao

When I started out I played quite a bit of the French defense in blitz games, most of the time it ended up in the exchange variation and when it didn't I basically just piled up at the d4 pawn. It worked decently, but that probably was because I had a clear plan based of some amount of strategy, while opponents at the 1000 - 1200 elo rating typically didn't. Then I started playing the Sicilian instead, worked better since I wasn't dependent on not getting the exchange variation. Very little was written about it compared to the other variations so I couldn't really find solid theory to study.

Wow, such a great turn around!

After the world chess championship can we start a new saga? I think the Karpov Saga and the Anand Saga both scored well in the last poll.

What a beautiful game from Magnus. I usually play Advanced French as a white, but Magnus not only crushed Anish in the middle game, but he also managed to get the best version of the opening as a black.

35 years ago I started playing the French and I’ve never regretted it. I’m not saying it turned me into a winning player, but it does lead to interesting games.

excellent game. I'm by no means a good player but you do a good job of explaining the relevant issues in the position, almost without pausing for breath!

1:55 Stockfish 15: Anish moves the king to h1 for absolutely no reason.

This game sure was crazy for a Rapid chess match. We can see why Magnus is so interested in making rapid the new classic.

Yeah, I would never play the french defense personally as I hate it. Rather go for a sicilian or berlin any day.

Giri: I resign Agadmator : Hello everyone

Love watching Magnus crush Anish like his personal Biotch, after the way Anish commentated on the last Championship games. To think Anish thought he could have done better...

Wonder if pawn to h3 or h4 is generally a better prophylactic move than King to h1?

See this the type of game where I'll see Magnus do it and then I try and get absolutely destroyed 🤣 great game!

What a game and what a fashionable queen sacrifice, Magnus Carlsen showing again that : it's always good and it always works sacrificing your rook against Giri 😂

11:20 *Hey black Queen to E1, forces the white rook to capture then Black roook can capture it back and it is checkmate* 😊

Lesson for today always make a breathing room for your king and you avoid that stupid forced mates.

playing the french defense on the infamous anish giri lol

Funny how the supposedly "prophylactic" Kh1 maneuver ended up being his demise

Beware of the back rank

Richard rapport plays french

"I dare you to play the French" 🤣🤣

Online, I actually get scores that are pretty close to even with the Tarrasch and classical variations of the French defense, but the kicker here is that I've played 8 games of the Winawer variation and won all 8 of them, somehow, despite barely knowing any theory for the line.

@youngpatrick29

Жыл бұрын

As a french player, im very happy seeing the winawer on the board. I think ne2 is by far the best approach for white, in which ill take on e4, nxe4, nf6, nxf6, !gxf6. And I usually get very dynamic play castling queenside, have a good score

Some people love the French. John Watson's book is in its 4th edition.

lol. I woulda play bishop b4 instantly. Then Agad says "if you do that you can resign". Damnit.
