[@nielsw.8587]

White has sacrificed a pawn for a strong attack. If Black wastes more time taking pawns on the queenside, it will be even harder to defend.

[@JSamad]

White can attack the queen with his rook and cause a lot of problems for black to try and defend the bishop behind the queen.

[@adamleckius2253]

@@JSamad Okay with Rd1, but what about retreating Qg6, inviting a queen trade? Bishop is defended by the d8 rook, Black is up two pawns...

[@JSamad]

Magnus would exchange queens then the bishop would be pinned to the rook and it's really hard to defend it considering that the white dark squared bishop is ready to attack it too, and the back rank of black is very weak. Not saying it's 100% winning (because two pawns for a bishop is kinda playable), but there's no reason to risk losing the game for a pawn.

I would predict that it wouldn't be very close.

@@TSgitaar Carlsen has ultra instinct in chess. That's why he is king in classic, rapid, and Blitz. With modern chess, players get benefit to develop, but not in rapid and Blitz where you have to rely on your 'instinct' and talent. That's why Caruana is good at classic but bad in Blitz.

Bonus position: I think you just capture on f5 ( doesnt matter wether with the knight or the bishop) and if he recaptures with the knight you capture the knight so he has to capture with the bishop and then you play pawn to e6! blocking blacks queen and checking the king with your own queen, the king has to move and you just capture the bishop. Might be wrong though. Thanks for the puzzle by the way

[@acts2211]

I was thinking the same thing but I didn't see a solution to the bonus

[@inomad1313]

leo moelter That is what I’m seeing as well. After captures on f5, Q has threats of f7 check or d5 preparing fR to a3.

[@inomad1313]

acts2211 fR to a3. Both rooks on the a file preparing to advance to a7 and a6 with White queen on f7 or d5 if the king is on the 7/6th rank. Or to a8 to win the black queen if the king is on the 8th.

[@gena4ka]

Great video!

[@richardfeynman5560]

A beautiful game by Carlsen in which he lives up to rhe expectations in a true World Champion!

[@avonacolyte]

I love that you've given us a puzzle to solve. #bonus I would capture with the knight on f5, threatening to capture on e7 forking queen and rook. Black can defend by moving the knight to c6, but in that case White can grab another pawn on g7 and dismantle Black's position at leisure. Alternatively, if Black takes the knight on f5, then bishop captures. Then, if black recaptures with his own bishop, e6 is a discovered check. The king must move, and the pawn on e6 is now blocking the Black queen's defence of f5. White is spoilt for choice: he can recapture the piece immediately, or make it a sacrifice and capture the pawn on g7, threatening to capture the rook with promotion (in this case Black must surely move his rook to e8; then rook captures on g7 and the dangerous passed pawn is defended). White's rook controls the a-file and Black's king is feeling the draught: either the rook or the White queen will infiltrate the position.

Nice to see fabulous classical chess games as opposed to speed chess. It may be fun to play but for the viewer these classical games can be magnificent. Capablanca, Fischer, Karpov, Carlson etal have and are creating art for the ages. So many times I’m in the middle watching a blitz game , on the edge of my seat speculating on what the next move could be and Wham! he loses on time. Classical chess is true chess and how anyone came up with rapid or blitz to decide a world championship is beyond me. Why the hurry? Kasparov vs Karpov in their first match up was as good as it gets and to stop it at such a critical stage was when the world championship started to go downhill. So, thanks for the coverage of these games. As a viewer I am grateful.

This might be a stretch, but I feel like this game is a herald of things to come: a shift to what you could call “hyperromantic” chess.

after knight blocks you capture f7 with the pawn and a discovery is on the queen, then you can just requeen If he retakes with queen instead of knight you can queen trade and then move your rook to the f file / take the 7th rank and advance your pawn
