  • @ighsight

    2 жыл бұрын

    Carlsen has a superior position and a bit of an attack at the point where Nakamura forces those exchanges. Once the rooks come off White's chances of losing in a mating attack go way down and his chances of achieving a draw go way up, that's why White plays Rf2. After the trades Carlsen still had the better position and the best chances to win in the endgame but Nakamura found enough moves to hold the draw. You can tell by how Carlsen continued to look at the game afterwards that he felt like there had to be a win in there for him.

    Chess is more about trading pieces, it's about what the trade does for you. Carlsen's rooks were stronger than Hikaru's because they were in prime position to launch a deadly attack on the White King. Trading those rooks relieved the pressure for Hikaru.

  • @andoali4523
    @andoali45232 жыл бұрын

    Here's a line I saw immediately. Staring with Move 19.. White moves knight to E5.. Carlsen takes with his knight. Move 20 pawn takes knight.. carlsen takes the dark squared bishop with his remaining knight. Move 21 queen takes knight......... I am a fairly novice chess player. If I've missed something please let me know but the anouncers didn't even see or mention this option for white.. which in my opinion puts white in a very strong position. It doubles a pawn but blocks blacks center pawn from advancing further.

    I think probably magnus would then play Qd5+ and that protects his hanging pawn and white's king will be forced to choose to live on g1 or h3, which isn't exactly checkmate yet but will make his position quite nasty. And then magnus' queen queen can much more easily sneak into black's base along the white square diagonals

    This actually is Nakamura's game. He can't play dubious Blitz chess openings against arguably the greatest player of all time when there is more time on the clock to play sound chess. His fun openings like the Bongcloud and the Hippo are for low stakes streams and would be ruthlessly punished by Carlsen in this format.
