Opponent: forks king and rook, takes rook and has a clear material advantage. Magnus: "Look how pretty my knight is sitting.."

[@Prometheus7272]

GloriousTapeworm I don’t think you understand what a material advantage is, if your a knight up you have a material advantage regardless of whether you have a positional advantage.

@GloriousTapeworm That's techniquely not defined as a material advantage. That's my point. But yes your right some bishop are more valuable than other bishops etc etc.

yeah tal be like rook that's cute

[@shnymola1536]

Its not an entire rook down because the knight is trap

[@watteau6646]

@@inducedbycoffee yes apparently the active position! But it seems Magnus uses his intuition a lot, because he said, "I don't know what to say--it's just a mess". But then AFTER NxR, Magnus is "very happy with what he just did". He's the equivalent of 2 pawns down (exchange) but intuits that his active position can do damage before his opponent can mobilize. But his opponent does mobilize, but apparently Magnus's subtle yet aggressive pressure wins the day.

[@mikeholland6750]

hes not an entire rook down though because the knight is completely closed off from the rest of the game and can be taken for free a couple moves later. so hes just down the exchange facing an attack against the world #1. the game ends with magnus up 2 whole pieces and white checkmated so its clear magnus knew the rook was worth exchanging. if it were a classical game with perfect play maybe but this is blitz vs magnus no chance

The speed at which he plays when low on time makes me wonder why he ever takes more than a few seconds to make any moves ever, even at the beginning of the game. His knowledge and intuition of the game doesn't call for long calculations it seems.

[@robichj]

I think it's because Magnus is so much stronger than 99.9% of the players on chess 24. When playing in a national tournament against some of the strongest players in the world, he doesn't move so fast lol.

after the castling and the King move from C1 to C2, why not play the knight to E4 and then take the pawn on C3? Queen can't take otherwise it will get taken by the G7 bishop, King can't take otherwise it will be in check from the C4 queen. That way the Knight can attack the D1 Rook and the A2 pawn (which can be taken for free otherwise he would lose the Queen). I get that the Knight is covering the B7 pawn, but the A8 Rook can be used to cover.
