In this game Magnus had a 99.4 accuracy. And if you delete the last move its an 99.6 accuracy (99.7 is the highest possible accuracy). So in this game he played like the best computer in the world for 46 moves.

Your story telling is really strong. You make chess really interesting, even when not looking at the board. You have a nice way of moving through a story. Appreciate you making chess digestible for people.

This looks like a Karpov game: constantly increasing the pressure without actually taking anything and wait for the opponent to make a move that will open the door to a particular strategy. It's all about positional pressure that leads to an end game with very little (if none) chance for the opponent to win. I love these games!
