I am confused.. in minute 2:45 or 11:24 can't you just go: King d2 with white, Knight kills the pawn on f2 and you check the enemy King with Queen a4?. Black could offer a Queen trade that leads into the escape of the rook from white. If black moves his King the rook could move away after this too? That's why I can't really understand why capturing the Knight on d3 is the best move. :/

[@ushiman]

I think Carlsen missed a checkmate earlier when Black played rook from f8 to e8 attacking his knight on e4, Carlsen played f3 to protect the knight. What if he had taken the bishop on g5 with his knight instead? h6 is pinned, so only way to recapture is via f6 takes g5 and then rook from h1 takes h6 checkmate because white bishop controls g8 and g7 pawn is pinned by dark bishop. Anything I'm missing here? This is the position that is at 6:16 in the video

Am I missing something? Queen to d3 does capture knight -but if instead, pawn captured the knight, and bishop took the queen, king can take the bishop. White would have come away with the knight and bishop, as opposed to just the knight.

He does take the Bishop with his pawn. Check the video again. And he didn't move King meaning his King is safe and there's still the possibility of castling.

This is a heck of an interesting example match for showing how the point value of the various pieces is highly relative to their position in time (move number) and space.

Thanks for the vid!

[@trafficfunnlr3353]

Another killer move that Carlsen missed and you skipped over was after 1. Nd6xe4, Re8, and instead of playing 2. F3 playing 2. Nxg5, and if fxg5, then 3. Rxh6 checkmate! Alternatively Black could play Rxd4, 3. Nf7+, Kh7 4. Rxd4 with a full rook up.

When Carlsen played "f3" (at 6:16 in the video) there were a far more stronger move instead of this, Kxg5. Black cant capture the Knight because of the pins. If he takes with the f6 pawn then Rxh6 is mate. The only chance if he takes the d4 bishop with his Rook, but then Kf7 check is winning material, white is winning.

[@anandb9638]

At 2:26 he Arka doesn’t have to trade queens, he can just move the E5 Knight and block the trade. Or am I missing something?

[@thomasmerkus6445]

If he does that then Carlsen takes with his knight, pawn takes knight and Carlsen takes pawn and puts his Queen in a very dominant position. So, he doesn't have to trade Queens, but if he didn't he would be in a very bad position.

[@anandb9638]

Thomas Merkus - I didn’t mean to plant the knight on C6, I meant for the E5 Knight to go to D7. If E5 Knight to D7 were to happen, then it’d be something like pawn to C5, pawn captures, Queen captures, Bishop to D7, and something else I guess? I’m not sure if this is the best move set, I’m just an average dude. But if you know something better or can completely disregard what I said, I’ll gladly read!

Sahil Rohmehtra not as many people interested sadly

[@the_bottomfragger]

As someone interested in Chess but also CSGO, I have to say while analyzing a game of chess is very entertaining, watching a chess tournament is just not comparable to one in CSGO. Still, 500 is reeeally not much so that's a shame.

Your comment denotes a contempt towards esports. I watch a lot of Rocket League and also like chess. Nothing wrong with that.

Very nice, as always. Carlsen as black is always more fun to watch, though. Especially when he opens with a knight.

10:43 why didn't queen capture rook ?

[@TomVanWae]

Bishop would move to f5, forcing king to move, e1 rook can capture queen

[@Lurker87]

@@TomVanWae I think QxR, Bf5+ Qg6, BxQ+ KxB isn’t the worst though. Just down one pawn, while white has two pairs of doubled pawns.

[@tealczchulaku591]

Why 23. f3 and not Nxg5? If black takes it, ...fxg5, then Rxh6 mate. And if Rxd4, then Nf7+ and taking the rook afterwards. Or did I miss something here?

Question instead of King to G6 for black why not take castle when it is being blocked by the light square bishop?
