Magnus Carlsen Gets Violently Checkmated

[@lordofthesticks0]

remember kids if you walked into mate in 1 it's not a "blunder" it's a "gentleman's resignation"

[@thepoisonkid2483]

I would agree. However, it is Magnus. When I walk into mate in 1 it's called "time for checkers" :)

I feel like Carlsen must've really enjoyed this game. He played a rare opening at the super GM level looking for a novelty and Firouzja was up to the task. Through their play over the board they debated the strengths and weaknesses of the novelty. I think Magnus offered the king and checkmate as a sign of respect and because it led to a beautiful checkmate, with the queen behind the king - the queen being the first major piece to attack in the Scandinavian.

[@frederickroy7039]

I have a feeling he'll just brush off this game as too many poor moves to be taken too seriously. At some point he was ahead by enough of a margin that in classical he would have most likely prevailed. Point is, both did not play this game up to their respective strengths.

Rare to see a Carlsen loss via actual mate. Typically resignations are more often seen for GMs.

It kind of surprised me to be honest. I have to doubt he didn't see the mate coming. But it's not uncommon to miss a pawn, when there's this much tension on pieces with a handful of forced checkmates incoming.
