[@luxtenebris7246]

To do this against Sergei Karjakin, whose nickname is “The Minister of Defense” because of his strong defensive skills and how difficult he is to beat makes this even more impressive.

[@manlycupcake3097]

Most brilliant plays are played against karjakin. That's what it takes to break his defense

[@codonauta]

The Minister of Defense make a big blunder in playing Qf7 after white’s Rxe6. If Black played instead Qc6 it would be a drawn.

[@flamma3638]

@@codonauta no, the black would have lost the queen and the rock for queen and bishop. The black would have lost the game quicker

[@codonauta]

@@flamma3638 No, white would get the queen back, really, but black would get the two bishops back and after the pawn in d6. In material there wouldnt advantage to anyone, the position would get equal, at least. For me , a bit better for black with those 2 pawns x 1 in queenside and with a bishop in an open position x the white knight.

[@codonauta]

@@flamma3638 Black doesn´t have his rook taken after 20... Qc6. It keeps both.

Give this commentator more work please. He breaks the game down in a really digestible way. As a new player this was very helpful.

For those that don't know, Dubov is Magnus' second. There is a reason why Magnus chooses to work with him
