    Even against much lower-rated players, if a guy flat out leaves a major piece obviously hanging, when it could be defended, something might be horribly amiss. I’m honestly surprised he took the bait.

    Ill be... dangit... Magnus did use a "net & trident" (trident: 3 point spear) *i mentioned this previously... -I believe i also mentioned just about everything he's doing up till now (12:05)... -I did mismention +2 (oops, ment -2) & a few minor details incorrect... -controls F&G, then B & ends up winning with checkmate on H... using Queen & Rook... Holy heck, i called this 1... no edited comments & hopefully time stamps for my posts align with game play... within reasonable time span... I'll pat myself on my back...

    (7:05) white: Knight to E4 (u said a good idea, I disagree) *blk Bishop will come up -Queen will have angle support -rook slids over & -knight will move 2Xs (maybe) These moves will take 2 or 3 pieces, offsetting white positioning in center of board... (lets see what happens, haha)

  • @niarbasdeenohw
    @niarbasdeenohwКүн бұрын

    (2:55) i think Mag is gonna pretend a switch sides for board control (the net)... He's gonna end up controlling 3 columns/Letters "F&G"... I'll guess "DorH" -show attack weak side, slice a sliver off the strong... ending in a +2 piece for Mag with threat to King & 2 other pieces... (before using "rook with queen" & 2 pawns with a knight)
