Powerhorse - Magnus Carlsen vs Aryan Tari | Norway Chess 2020

This is a round 8 game between Magnus Carlsen and Aryan Tari from the 2020 Altibox Norway Chess tournament. This all Norwegian battle enters a Ruy Lopez with Magnus Carlsen opting for the simple and solid 6.d3. Aryan Tari had many opportunities to change the character of the pawn structure with a capture on a4, but preferred to maintain a solid queenside pawn island. The critical moments mostly occurred before move 20, and it was during this time many different minor pieces battles could have surfaced. Once the position was simplified to one minor piece for each side, it was only a matter of time until the white knight became a powerhorse on the outpost d5. There are plenty of model games highlighting the strategic good knight versus bad bishop in chess literature, and I expect this featured game to be included in future chess books.

    In this tournament they have a "confession booth", where the players can go into a soundproof booth and talk to the camera for TV-viewers. At around move 30 Carlsen went into the booth and proclamed victory describing a plan to get a pawn to G5 and there was nothing Aryan could do. The rest of the game we could enjoy the plan coming through, very nice of him explaining it up front.

    My favorite move from the middle was 25. Qd1 - as Finegold would say, that’s a Grandmaster move. It was glossed over here but if I had two major pieces on the open A file I’m looking for ways to press forward on the queenside. Magnus gives up queenside presence, by demoting his queen back to d1 temporarily, because it’s going to be more effective on f3. Those are the “nothing” moves that are so hard to find for us non-masters.

    The knight on d5 is one of the best examples for a "strong knight vs. bad bishop" I've ever seen. Not only is that guy roughly 900x as valuable as blacks dark square bishop, it also cannot be removed. As he is shielded by black pawns, black can't even go and try to give up the exchange because the rook has no way to even attack the knight. Really impressive game.
