[@kika7497]

He already lost before the game started, you see the fear in his eyes, hoping Magus doesn't show up, then he just plays to lose. Plays the modern defense, doesn't castle, pushes his f pawn, opens the d file himself, puts his king in the open d file. That's suicide against Magnus. It was almost like he was asking Magnus to end it quickly.

[@imthejuggernaut6205]

@@hariharang8872 Not a chess guy. But I don't think this is a checkmate. It's just that the opponent realised based on the current layout of the board and the progression of moves available that would follow, would eventually result in a checkmate. Any chess people feel free to correct me.

⁠​⁠@@hiphopriffs7775The move itself is an amateur’s blunder, but he realized how perfectly set up it actually was. Pushing the pawn beforehand is proof he had a different path in mind. Chess surprises.

[@Max113-z9t]

After black takes the knight Magnus will take the bishop and after the rook takes back, Magnus can play his rook to a7 and fork the king and the knight. And if black doesn’t take the knight and saves his rook then the bishop will die.

[@proplayergamer3332]

Queen take knight then ( C4 to E6) take black bishop then black rook take white bishop (E8 to E6) then White rook D7 Check and win a black bishop.😍

Nice bro ek din mai bhi ye sab dekh paunga😅😅​@Max113-z9t

[@adrianswriting]

I'd be happy for someone to explain to me why black's king took white's queen at 2:01, rather than the knight on C6. Surely the fact that black could then castle kingside would have been much better for Shimanov?

[@skwebjacob]

Wdym he had to take the queen back as carlsen just took his queen

[@adrianswriting]

@skwebjacob Yes, but he took it with his king, which meant that his king could no longer castle. As a result, his rooks were stuck in the corners. If he had taken it with the knight, he wouldn't have had those problems.

[@erickdabandan76]

I thought that was the beginning of the end also. Magnus would not stop attacking right after black king took white queen out.

[@rooklift]

I think taking with the king was correct. After NxQ, Nb5 attacks both a7 and c7. Black doesn’t have time to castle and defend those threats.

[@adrianswriting]

@@rooklift Thanks for that. Right, it was the weakness of the C7 pawn. Blacks pieces are all on the fringes of the board, making such an attack possible.

[@Lrespect14]

​@@rainmolderkivi2263 Hi there, materially, he is only down a pawn. But if you look at the eval bar and with engine, white is simply winning on position. Too much control and activity, especially the open rook file that white dominates. Black won't make it in time and will be helpless in White's attack

Hello chess community! I'm just passing through. I don't play chess but I've heard of Magnus. Why didn't the game continue with black king taking that white knight? I don't see how it was protected...

[@dannysigurdson7108]

After taking the knight there will be an exchange of pieces after which Magnus forks the king and knight, or if black decides not to take he will lose his bishop without compensation. His position is already pretty awkward anyway so either of those situations is a guaranteed loss at this level.
