Yeah magnus said it himself, but he didnt literally said it's gukesh weakness. However, he said in the interview that gukesh plays more on calculation based so technically he is saying that his intuition is not that strong yet. Which makes it harder for him to play in a faster time control cause you barely use time.

@mariuszpudzianowski8400

Yeah, he's now at crossroads - focus full time on classical or start really training blitz and even bullet to improve his intuition.

Nice! Good encore!

Magnus is a machine & not human, 10 wins @ this level it's insane performance.

Can't wait fot the Tal game

He’s like a 4th degree BJJ blackbelt, or Judo master or any elite martial artist, you know the move is coming. You see it 25 moves ahead. Yet you blink and they submit you, or throw you, or knock you out like a flash of lightning. ⚡️

So the upshot is Magnus blundered, but then bluffed his way out of trouble. haha nice

The brilliant attack followed by brilliant def what a game ❤

I had the same question. After Be7 engine continues with Qg7 attacking the rook, Rf8 only move, Rxc6 Nxd1 and Nxd5 with a big attack for white. It’s around +3 from that point forward.

Also wanted to mention that you win back the black knight that captured on d1 because after that sequence I just mentioned Nc7! is the big threat winning the queen so you have to continue with Qa5 only move and after that the king can pick up the knight Kxd1

Magnus here teaches Gukesh a lesson to remember.

Hi Antonio, thank you for analysing that game(Carlsen vs Gukesh...(never enter a dark forest with magnus) Really appreciated. My query is after magnus played Knight to c4....why Gukesh didn't go for Rook capture e6 check instead of Queen g2? Thanking you in advance

Hey Agad. There has been a lot of news about Tyler1 playing the cow opening and reaching 1900. Wondering if his random games are good enough for a video analysis. #suggestion

Magnus game with such an announcement on an upcoming Mikahail Tal game... It doesn't get much better than that. It's in about the same level of a new AlphaZero coverage or a Casablanca Immortal, if not better...

Hi. Can you show the Game between Magnus Carlsen and Rey Enigma?

Incredible calculating by magnus.

Well if ever I’m in a deep dark forest with Magnus I’d just let him help me get out lmao

Maybe Gukesh could have beaten one of the Candidates with this bizarre opening, but never Magnus.

At 9:30, why not Nc5? Seems to me like it would solidify white's position

Surely those crazy positions would only ever be in Blitz?

You look like the wine merchant from GOT who tried to kill danaerys except you drank some magic wine and now are no longer a dwarf

3:37 - knight to f6

Why not block Rook e6 check with Bishop e7?

He will be holding a copy of Tales from the GrandMasters 😂

Knight e5😮

Instead of f7xRe6, can't Bf8 e7 ?

did you say the "Durant Defence"?

The fastest man alive

This could’ve been a world championship 😪

I'm booked at the bar and barred from the library.

So Gukesh did not play Magnus he played his idea of Magnus

What if gukesh play rook take e6 immediately? Would magnus take with pawn back? Then bishop g6 check only move is king e7 pawn f5 sacrifice the queen bishop g5 check.... You can check this line I think!

Magnus plays a lot more of this romantic style chess in blitz, that's for sure, and also since he's retired from the championship circuit, he's even been a little more ballsy in classical I think. I don't think he's as protective of his rating or anything, because I think he said that he's essentially given up on trying to get to 2900. He just seems like he's out there having fun, and he's playing some of the best chess of his life.

When C19 happened, and all top 100 played each other online, I think for a lot of chess players that psychological barrier "I'm playing Magnus/Nepo/AnyTopGM face to face for the first time" had a positive effect. Imagine if Gukesh played TopGMs only once or twice before Candidates tournament. I don't think he would have even qualified.

There are some human traits that refuse to go, obviously I mean the negative ones. They reemerge, in every subsequent era. I can draw the analogy to Roger Federer in tennis. He absolutely hated the hawk eye reviews/challenges when they were introduced. He probably felt he had better chances of getting calls in his favour if it was left to the human umpires. Similarly it seems Carlsen may not have been very supportive of such a idea. They want to retain all their advantages probably. Including their aura, etc.

well its one thing for Magnus to take you to the forest, but quite another for Gukesh trying to defend like he is playing for the championship against Liren. After 33...bxh4, the "amateur" 27 depth stockfish gives my good instinct move the knight forward 34.Nc5+. Forces an expect exchange, but after that good luck for black to find rook to h7, which ok its logical, put the rook behind the passed pawn, but would Magnus play it? that pawn is 4 moves away from queening and 2 moves away from the uboat alarm to sound, Magnus might just have opted to keep the rook engaged somehow. For lower ranked players there were plenty of traps after attacking with the knight, even sacrificing it to the king. Anyway, perhaps when the best of the best offers you a forest, the worst thing you can do is chicken out, and why? Fear of losing? I would rather lose in a forest, than retreating. Oh well, perhaps Gukesh was shocked by that missed opportunity earlier on, was afraid to blunder near the end there, anyway, good game, at least Gukesh did pick up on Magnus's offer/mistake with the bishop earlier on (even if he maybe got overboard excited to follow up successfully), and that is not nothing.

Carlsen really ought to play the world championship. Instead of adding fuel to his own ego, "i can continue being considered the best player without playing the world championship" just play it man. If you are a gifted player, you ought to use it.

Never enter the deep dark forest with Magnus, because he will mate you!!!!!
