Alireza plays the game of chess with creativity in mind and does not go by the book. That is why he does not care if the position is known or not. True, he makes mistakes but this is also why the true spirit of chess is displayed when he plays it.

Bro, what are you talking about?? You are hilarious!!! Alireza clearly said in the post interview that he was throwing main lines at Magnus, where if you don't know your stuff and deviate, you lose.

Obviously you have no understanding between mainlines and book moves, mainlines are a series of moves considered as the best by top players, and this can change overtime, mainlines can become sidelines and sidelines can become mainlines, but book moves are considered standard especially in opening theory, book moves are played only in the opening phase, mainlines are played in the middlegame, which is why after the last book move, the players are said to be "out of book" .
