The pain and agony of Magnus Carlsen losing to 18-year-old Vincent Keymer

Magnus Carlsen played against the prodigious German talent Vincent Keymer in the 4th round of the FIDE World Cup 2023. Playing with the black pieces, the best player on the planet, equalized quite easily out of the opening. Just when it seemed the game would head towards a draw, something quite unbelievable happened!

Fantastic performance by Keymer, no question. He's an exceptional athlete in chess, a great guy to boot. But let's say what happened and what is the biggest enemy of a player of Magnus' stature with the corresponding consequences, who for the last few years has been toiling only in such arenas : he got bored. It's not arrogance. It's a lack of motivation. It has announced it itself in the years before. And you just have to forgive such a great player, who lives his whole life in this 8x8 matrix. Vincent can't believe it himself at 15:04. At some point, when you've won everything and made history, the deadliest of all thoughts creeps up inside you: why all this? It's a question of meaning. And it's up to Carlson's level to draw the consequences. My thanks and respect to both players. By the way, I think that Nb3 was not a blunder, but simply a mistake. Great commentary. If you close your eyes, it could also be a boxing match ;-)

[@jvaughnduggan808]

I think Nb3 is a blunder at GM level because it led to a decisive endgame for white. For lower rated players, sure, you might label it an innacuracy/mistake

[@patho279]

[@StacheBigote]

It was a blunder. If it was out of boredom, it makes no difference. It’s no different than if it was out of tiredness or a lack of concentration. Doesn’t matter. He blundered and his opponent made him pay for it. Obviously that blunder holds no bearing over Magnus as a chess player. Blunders happen because nobody is perfect. Not even Magnus.

Or, i would play at the same 15m and 36 sec, a push from magnus tower to b1 with intention of pushing that tower of vincents away or again baiting his tower, with magnus pawn by pushing it to b6, or his night to E6.

[@brandonlawrence5851]

fyi in case you didnt know now and for people curious- because after the black knight takes pawn with check, white and black trade off each others passed pawns in the b and d file. after that it turns into a rush to get to the advanced f/g pawns which black will win because his king is closer. then when the white king does catch up he has whats called a backward f pawn that will have no chance of promoting. i figure that was the extent of the calculation they were doing, cause it seems like a basic endgame. high level gms grind a lot of different endgame scenarios and there are certain positions which are well known draws.

[@DetoNaGamerscom]

I guess three little rules. 1- B king is too close to the promotion pawns. 2- W K is way weaker than the B K. 3- W king is useless.

I really love the way wooden chess sets like this look. I mean the ones with natural clear coats and minimal stain.
