The chess24 Legends of Chess is the 4th stage of the $1 million Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour and features Magnus Carlsen and his predecessors as World Champion Vishy Anand and Vladimir Kramnik. It consists of two stages, a 10-player preliminary, where each player plays each other once, followed by a knockout among the top 4. Prelim ties are played as 4-game rapid matches, while knockout ties are the best of 3 such matches. The prize fund is $150,000, with $45,000 for first place, while the winner also qualifies for the $300,000 Grand Final.
The time control is 15 minutes for all moves with a 10-second increment from move 1. The winner of a preliminary tie decided in rapid games gets 3 points. If the score is 2:2 an Armageddon game is played, where White has 5 minutes to Black's 4 but a draw counts as a win for Black. A winner in Armageddon gets 2 match points, while the loser gets 1. The knockout format is the same except before Armageddon there are two 5+3 blitz games. No draw offers are allowed before move 40. Official website: chess24.com/tour

[@zawarudo273]

Once when i was like 9 or smt Leko was at my chess club and gave lessons to us for like 2h. He showed us a complicated tactic puzzle which involved a queen sacrifice and even very strong players needed about half an hour to find the move sometimes iirc. After a few seconds i said the correct move (was a queen sac) and he thought i was some kind of prodigy. But i just didnt see that the queen could be taken there lmao

[@edoardoprevelato6577]

Still showing these whippersnappers who's boss.

[@salmarwow]

Well, my idea is that Chucky want's to: 1) to confuse opponent; 2) take some time to think. Qg4 is a threat and Be2 prevents that. When Chucky decided that this threat may be ignored and he has a winning attack, he moves Bd3 and allows Qg4 which Leko plays.

[@exhainca]

I think he wanted to give Leko the tempo so he could draw his queen out. And then he fucked him up. Haha
