Magnus Blunder a Rook So He Gives Up The Queen!

[@Philopantheon82]

That end game by Magnus was just pure masterpiece as usual, kudos to Jonas as he played fearlessly and made sure this piece of art happens on the board. Great recap and anslysis Agad, appreciated.

[@callumomeagher1868]

I know absolutely nothing about chess, but I love just playing with no knowledge of openings and watching your awesome breakdowns on what minds like magnus are thinking and playing on the board. It's like watching my favourite musicians play. Doesn't take much knowledge to appreciate how great their minds are. Thanks for uploading, and I will always be watching for more awe inspiring content. Legend ✌️

Opening isn't much important honestly (below master levels)

[@scythazz]

Magnus did blunder but it was not one of those “no hope” type of blunders where it would be completely trivial to win.

[@TheFreeM93]

Queen vs bishop and knight and two pawns are close to equal, it is winning for white but there is no clear cut how to win.

[@alahiri22]

9th most popular defense... Rook blunder... Queen surrender... And, Magnus still draws! Magnus is just another class.

[@jamesknapp64]

I was shocked he didn't win the endgame.

[@BlckJack123]

You have to admire Magnus for being willing to play in a tournament like this. After all, given how much lower rated his opponents are there is lots of downside to him and very little upside as he has to win pretty much all of his games NOT to lose points.

[@TalEl59]

Very resourceful play from Carlsen. I also realise from this game and other game examples that a protected passed pawn on the 7th rank (or 2nd rank if its a black pawn) is worth about 6 pawns. So in evaluating a position, this observation can be a useful guide.

[@jjukjkjiok7782]

I would say it depends. Like white had a protected pawn on rank 7 and the knight sacrificed itself for it, so in that case it was worth about 3 pawns

[@dgchs68videos]

Great game by Jonas, and *excellent* recovery by Magnus.

[@Xylimate]

Why does the move Nf5 played in 7:43?

[@Jaylooker]

Magnus played the same idea with the exchange sacrifice in a Pirc defense in a previous game and got a great position. In that previous game he also made some mistakes and maybe didn’t win it either

[@nazpreacher1]

Am I the only confused why not Bxc3 at 3:52?

[@deepaksbharadwaj]

8:53 what will happen if the Knight on c5 directly captures the pawn Kxa4 ?

[@albertosierraalta3223]

Good comeback on Magnus but he's been playing at a lower level than usual for quite some time now in classical

[@Harbz]

he's memeing playing the nimzovich defense lol not like he's doing prep for these games, if he was he'd smoke them of course but why give away stuff he can use against better opposition

[@newil_yovac]

​@@HarbzHe's making basic inaccuracies on move 20 that have nothing to do with consequences from his opening play, and he's been blundering game winning tactics his opponents just happen to miss and not use to put his lights out. Not all particularly in this game. Magnus is still the best player ever, but let a Spade be called a Spade

*6:39** Why didn't Magnus play ND3 counter-attacking White's Queen? If White captures the Knight with the F3 Rook, the Black can capture the Rook on D5. And if the Queen was captured, then Black can capture the White's Queen with the Knight and one of the Rooks later.*

[@TheMarksT]

[@nickmullen402]

Great video! How does white win after after he takes the rook on b2 and black plays Bc3? Does he need to take out the black pawn on a5 or what's the idea here?

Why didn't magnus capture with the bishop instead of knoght on c3 and fork the rooks.

[@anthonysellers6455]

I feel like when black plays these slow types of openings the games make a lot more sense. All the “best” defenses for black just get to a certain point and then explode.

Please consider reviewing this game and in particular spreading the rumour that Carissa Yip is dating Wesley So based on Carissa's X header - it's a photo of just Carissa & Wesley (& Leinier & Melik). move 54 for black is an 8-move equality puzzle it's so sharp [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "1Q5k/3r1rn1/p3N3/Pp1p2P1/1q2p3/1B2R2P/5P2/6K1 b"] 1...

well if opponent has to lose two rooks for a queen and down 2 pawns with no minor pieces, anyone can survive.

3:51 instead of bishop capture pawn, why knight captures pawn? Biship will later threaten 2 rooks at the same time.

I prefer having a bishop, knight and a few pawns over a queen.

yea,if u menage to achieve harmony among pieces,they overcome queens strength. but if they are scattered, and ur king is in the open, queen will easy connect via checks on ur king. but I do agree with you 😊

A couple extra pawns helped in this game for sure

King protects rook

[@wolfspain7385]

Kg2 gets out of check and protects the rook. If the queen takes the pawn on a4 then you can't stop checks from the white queen. Qb8+, Kg6, Qe5+, if King goes to f8 then Qh8 forces the king from behind the pawns leading to a check from the rook on e3. Anywhere the king goes, he is getting hunted down, all for the prices of a pawn when he is already in a losing position.

I think it is silly to say that it is hard for Carlsen to not lose rating when playing these lower rated players. After two games, Carlsen had a draw an a win, his live rating had gone up. It was less than one point but it was still up. even though both players were significantly lower rated. Carlsen should be getting wins nearly every game, if not then the rating drop is justified and reflects his real rating very well.

[@leonardsmith9870]

You're just completely incorrect. Overall his rating has gone down this tournament and he hasn't even lost a game.

he obviously has to win every single game, no matter who his opponent is, even drawing against fabi would still hurt his rating, its been a thing since 2010
