This is why chess is such an exhaustive exercise because with each move you evaluate tactics, strategy and position at the same time you fear that something was missed, it takes courage to plow forward! This is why we love the game 😎 Thanks for another great narrative chess dawg!

I love the way you focus on a single theme and really bring out the learning points! 😊

The answers/play look so easy in hindsight. It's always a whole different ballgame when you're actually sitting at that board!

Studying ones own played games and identifying the errors is the best way to elucidate the truth in your point. Even for the best of us Chess is a game of errors.

magnus has always been a fucking menace.

[@mitchu9677]

watching his younger games... where do i begin? He had so much confidence about the "state" of the board if you're speaking in game theory terms. The moves that he makes he KNOWS that his move is better than his opponents'. How? His mind only accepts correct inputs. Throughout his upbringing every time somebody gave him bad advice he must have rejected it. Simply A miraculous human in terms of chess and outside. I could write a book on how Magnus is the best because he rejected bad ideas earlier into his childhood than anyone else. He achieved greatness by the age of 3. People don't seem to understand or grasp this concept. A human being has their greatest potential slightly after birth. Their mind is a burgeoning, spiking field of potentiality that must be harnessed by the individual.
