Can someone explain to me why this is such obvious checkmate? Here as a novice and this just showed up on my feed, and it just seems like black should just capture the queen with his pawn? Then all white has left is a bishop and two castles, and I'm not sure how they would get him to checkmate anytime soon...

It's mate in 2 moves: pawn recaptures (and cuts off king's escape squares) and rook to a8 is MATE. This is called a "mating net".

Ok, this is the best chess video we have in youtube today... Luis Paulo Supi (he was moving the white pieces) is one of the most creative players alive. It's just an honor to see him play, even Carlsen was surprised by his moves. Just beautifull, what a match!!!

[@Justmino]

Worth mentioning that he also beat Nakamura 4x0, which led to nasty comments by Naka insinuating he was cheating like "why is he taking so long to do this obvious move, that's suspicious". Meanwhile Supi was streaming and rearranging his screen, talking about the weather or something. Carlsen's attitude of praising his opponent was much nobler. He is the best in the world but he lost, it happens.

@@Justmino correct. Naka's attitude was terrible. Supi defeated carlsen again recently, but the match ended 5x1 for carlsen, although supi had a better position in 2 games.

@@soulsurvivor182_9 Qb1 only delays the checkmate for a little bit. You go Qb1, white's rook takes on b1 and now you take the white Queen on c6, and white takes your pawn on c6. Now look at that position. You are still being threatened with Ra8# because the white pawn on c6 covers all escape routes for the black king. So you move your king to b8 to avoid that checkmate. White simply returns his Rook on b1 to a1 and there's no way to escape that checkmate with both white rooks still alive.

For the folks who don't understand why Qc6 is so powerful, and so good: If it is not found, and pretty much anything else is played then Magnus's king has Kd7 as an escape route Magnus is also up a knight here. So, Magnus up a knight is usually crushing. Here is how the game would have played out if Magnus played to mate and held it off as long as possible. Bxc6 Bxc6 the pawn now replaces the queen for removing the escape squares. Ra8 is very dangerous that is checkmate. So... Qb1+ Rxb1 Sacraficing the queen to perform suction on the rook and undouble them. Kb8 delaying mate forcing a rook double Rba1 doubling the rooks again renewing the threat. Ba3 Rxa3 the bishop jumps in the way of the rooks slowing them down, but not stopping them Now black has no more meaningful moves that can delay mate and Ra8# is coming no matter what black does. Black never has time to play any other way because mate is always a threat.

After bxc6 black has Ne7, with the idea after Ra1 of Nxc6 - black manages to hang on.

The 2 rooks in the upper right corner at 2:09 in the video will cause checkmate doesn't matter what move he does next. If Carlsen takes the queen with the pawn the other pawn takes his pawn and will still block all the squares for the king to escape when the rook checks him. The 2 rooks also protect each other. Hopefully this explains it and doesn't make it more confusing somehow. :)

After white Qc6, why can't magnus play: Qb1+ If Rb1, b7xc6, b5xc6, Kb8 no checkmate If Qh2/Bc1, Qxa2, Rxa2, b7xc6, b5xc6 no checkmate

[@aguyandaguitar3366]

I believe in your first scenario, White just resets with Ra1, and Black can't prevent the coming Ra8. I'm not sure I understand your second scenario

[@Adventurer-te8fl]

After Kb8, white has Rba1, and (insert any move for black), then Ra8# checkmate

Im kind of surprised Magnus fell for this. He opened up the A file willingly, allows for double rooks on this file, moves his queen away despite advanced pawns and queen pointed at crucial square in front of king… idk this move seemed a bit obvious compared to other queen sacs and I really feel like he should’ve seen this

[@slapmyfunkybass]

Easy to say obvious when you’ve seen it. Very few would have seen a move like that in the game. Think it’s an incredible move. Supposedly even Stockfish doesn’t see it.

[@alekob.3791]

@@slapmyfunkybass I would’ve seen it though because I noticed it happening like 5 moves ahead of that. Like I said, this stupid mate was only possible because Magnus allowed his position to become so terrible. Considering he’s the most amazing player of all time I found that surprising.

[@slapmyfunkybass]

@@alekob.3791 The video’s quite literally called insane queen sac so you’re looking for it, you wouldn’t have noticed in a normal game.

[@alekob.3791]

@@slapmyfunkybass you have a point there, but considering the open file with doubled rooks on it with advanced pawns and bad king position, I don’t think it’s certain I wouldn’t have noticed. I have done similar queen sacs before since I play Pirc defense a lot, so I think I would have a special eye out for the possibility. Which is why I imagine the GOAT would be more aware of

[@TheRomanianWolf]

@@alekob.3791 when playing online chess, players experiment stuff... for training purposes. Magnus here wanted to train, that's why he opened that column (which he wouldn't have EVER do it in a real OTB game).

Some chess master...black pawn takes Queen. White takes black pawn. Then black queen to b1 allows enough time for black to escape the trap

[@TheRomanianWolf]

Are you SERIOUS??? After rook takes b1 it's still mate, you WEAK BEGINNER!

[@TheRomanianWolf]

Come on, STUPID BEGINNER, explain how he can avoid mate after the STUPID queen to b1 move.

[@SubangRai]

How is this actually over? If the black Queen moves from F5 to B1 with a check then has to be taken by Rook to B1... and then black pawn on A7 takes the white queen on C6 which is recaptured by white pawan on B5 to C6.. and black king moves to B8... Doesn't this save the game? Am I missing something?

[@Coat0]

Qb1 ; Rxb1 ; Kb8 ; Ra1 and you still get mated
