Greatest Chess Games Ever Played || Anand vs Lautier (1997)

It’s insane how Magnus wipes the floor with anand, who’s 2 decades older than him

[@JimishFotariya97]

No According to Antonio it's a light square bishop (9:25)

[@arjunnair9371]

@@user-rr7ov9dz1i Wipes the floor? It is a common chess trend due to relatively obvious reasons that the younger generation manages to push out the older one. Wipes the floor is just a disrespectful thing to say about a former world champion who despite being a generation older still has a decent record against Magnus
