Magnus Carlsen plays like AlphaZero
Featured in this analysis is the game between Magnus Carlsen and Nijat Abasov from the 2023 FIDE World Cup. The opening is a Sicilian Defense, Rossolimo Attack where Carlsen gambits a pawn by move 7. Carlsen’s play in this game resembles the strategies employed by the neural networks Alpha Zero and Leela Chess Zero. This resemblance is particularly evident in how one of Abasov’s pieces loses its effectiveness. Carlsen’s Rg1, akin to the Freak Attack in the Sicilian Najdorf, serves as a reminder to Abasov that his intact kingside structure may not provide the black king a safe haven. Carlsen’s gambit in this game is an excellent example for deep strategic play that provides one with multiple forms of long-term compensation.

maybe this variation should be called the Rossolimo attack, Carlsen gambit, would be cool to have an opening named after Magnus. A real back amd forth game thanks Jerry.

Proud of finding the QF1 move at 14:19. Took me about couple minutes when usually finding these key moves if I get them right takes me a lot longer.

@rodrigoathayde1488 easy as a chess master for 27 years.. Having played maybe 10.000 chess games and having watched several thousand chess matches online (gms, alpha zero, etc) and following this channel It is a natural result of solving chess problems like this. It's like an instinct now finding such critical moves.. However, I still have a huge gap in my opening knowledge, so my elo is somewhere around 1700, not higher..
This is just simply legendary breakdown 👏❤️ No matter who wins between pragg & fabi both gonna have an insurmountable challenge to bring magnus down.
Really nice.

At 14:48 you said black QF1 but I was thinking QF3 and thus it seems as good or better, perhaps not?
@theman1860

I'm curious, what was your thinking regarding QF3?
@jamesburnett3594

I think queen is better on f1 because she controls more squares that way and has better attacking chances on the king by controlling the last rank. On f3 you're hitting the rook but it's defended and could go to h3, which would force queen to f1 anyway. And that would be worse for black since the rook on h3 can better assist in defending the king and pawn structure. If you go to f1 immediately the rook can still to h3 but now black retains tempo whereas with f3 first you're handing white the tempo.
i saw Kf1 immediately after Qa5. yay.
In the final series of moves, Magnus keeps all his pieces on dark squares and the light-squared bishop contributes next to nothing
Grandmasterly!!!😊😊😊
Its Jerry!
Hey Jerry If it was alpha zero, I tell you he would have played C4 pawn earlier as it would have closed up the black position earlier.. what do you think? Why 2 moves waiting for C4??
Why did black not play 6. d5 ?
“Gambit Style”. Isnt that a song😂
This position haunts abasov: 14:00
Black was not up a pawn around 8:18 white was/is.
he is the G.O.A.T. like mike.
He is the alpha zero of our generation.

Kind of a seesaw feel to this game - not only because of the alternating advantage/disadvantage for each side, but because of the oscillating feel of the pieces in their use of diagonals and backwards attacks.
I would have turned that clown bishop into a star. Learning in chess seems to be about making adjustments to our levels of priority. So from this point I realize I need to increase my priority on correcting all pinned pieces that are not protected by a pawn.

Black could push pawn up to protect bishop and locked down the right side. He made so many useless moves.
I've heard all the commentators say Qf1 is winning. Why not move the white Q to d2? That looks like a draw after black Q to f3 attacking the R, white goes back to h2 with the Q.
Qf1 was a pretty findable move in that position IMO. This was even on my radar and I am not even rated 2000. Maybe getting intimidated by Magnus Carlsen & match situation.

Yes Qf1 is findable, but what about all the other moves? It's easy to cherrypick the worst move in the game and criticize it. Maybe you find that move but miss other moves in the game.
