Magnus AND Hikaru || The Chess Gods are Angry!

[@ramachandra776]

"We all know Carlsen's biggest mistake in not winning this game . It was of course in the position when he could have played b4 he played C3 . he angered the chess gods and it doesn't matter if you are +10, +100 or +1000 , there is no winning it . You always have to play the Evans gambit , that's the way chess works ." - Agadmator 2021.

FUN FACT, as some of you might not have watched the livestream: During the show in-between games they show mini clips of the players where they ask them questions. They asked Magnus to name the players that fit the keywords: Genius, Entertaining, Finesse, Annoying. This was his choice: Genius: Nepomniachtchi Entertaining: Carlsen Finesse: Giri Annoying: Nakamura Then he later on explained that he chose Nakamura as the "Annoying" one because he is always finding defensive resources in every position, and it becomes very 'annoying' to attack against Nakamura for his resilience.

I explored the position at 8:44 with my board at home. I found a line I think the people here will appreciate. Starts with a fun, crazy sac 1. Nxe5! Sacrificing the queen. Black takes with ... Bxe2 Then the royal fork! 2. Nf7+! Kg8 3. Nxd8 Rxc2 Now the last explosive move of the combination: Ne7+, threatening a smothered knight pair mate. Black is forced to part with the dark squared bishop, and after 6. dxe7, his rook looks very sad trapped behind that pawn on the dark square. This position is sharp but drawish, however I just want to appreciate this combination. Sacrificing a knight and opening up a skewer on the queen and rook, then forking the king and queen, then the smothered mate threat, and ultimately the extremely cramped rook at the end of the line. Caissa showed me this path and I wanted to share it

12:16 "so you have to go for this queen trade" - No, you don't. Black has just moved Qf5-g6 but white can go Rc8 x Rg8 check, so Black's only reply is Ktf6 x Rg8 and White makes the move Qf7 x Ktd7 because black's knight is left with no defender. The resulting material balance is that White has Q R B Kt and Black has Q B Kt, so White is a whole rook up!

At 9:00 wouldnt knight c7 be strong too? Feel like it would guarantee trading knight for rook or am i missing something

[@JaguarBST]

12:35 is knight g4 for hikaru a good move? Looks like it wins back the rook? And double attack on rook and bishop? Looks like a winning move but I am not very good at chess so Someone good at chess reply please.

[@waelmagdy7757]

I noticed this move too. It shouldn't be winning imo. Magnus will have to capture on g4 as the only move. Then if Hikaru captures the Rook with Qd3, Magnus will capture pawn with Be5 and threatens checkmate. Hikaru then will have to bring his Queen back to g6 to force a queen trade, then after Qg6, Ng6 trade, Magnus will be up 1 pawn and still have the passed d6 pawn. All in all I think Hikaru was losing at this position but at least he could've given his king some room to breathe but my calculation could be wrong Idk.

[@waelmagdy7757]

12:37 I'm really curious to see a line where black plays Ng4, looks very interesting.

[@npshepherd]

Thought the same. Engine didn’t like it though because of QC7. Now if you move the knight the bishop is hanging. If the rook takes it then attacks the queen. Just a little trickier to play but you’re still up an exchange and winning
