Alexandra finally beats Magnus and goes crazy on her stream

#magnuscarlsen #chess #alexandrabotez #botez
Magnus Carlsen streamed this on 20 Feb 2023 with David Howell. He accidentally muted his stream before this game, so his part is muted.

[@David-sq1fy]

It's nice to see Alexandra so happy.

[@PtylerBeats]

The trick when someone is down on time like this, especially magnus, is to play moves that they cannot premove against. Because you aren’t going to be magnus in classical chess. You can’t play chess to beat him, you have to play the time. And if he’s premoving, he’s not wasting any time. So what you need to do is simply force him to use his time by not allowing him to premove. And this is something that Alex did really well. If you look at how often Magnus was premoving, watch how little that actually paid off for him. She wasn’t playing how he predicted she might play. Which is the reason she ended up winning even though she was in such a worse position. I don’t know how intentional it was on her part, but she played just weird enough to throw him off and waste his time. Beautiful game

[@miltonzinn8732]

I think my favorite part of this is when she said “He’s thinking, he’s thinking”. Magnus was already like 4 pre-moves ahead lol.
