Magnus Carlsen's amazing positional decisions against Vladimir Kramnik | Commentary by Sagar Shah

Magnus Carlsen, the current World Champion, was pitted against Vladimir Kramnik, former World Champion, at the World Blitz Championships 2019. Carlsen essayed the London System and the position looked round about even. But just when all looked equal, Carlsen started to make some amazing positional decisions. It's a game from which you can learn a lot. IM Sagar Shah explains to you with his fast paced commentary.

Undoubtedly, you are one of the best chess commentators because of your technical knowledge and quick assessment of live positions and precise analysis of any position, you can comment previously boring games of chess really like a war with the increasing crescendo as the pieces are put into play because you understand what is going on! I have been watching many chess channels but yours is fresh and educational, keep going👏😊

I've found how I like my chess. Board center screen + commentator.

[@dunlop9161]

Same, and also a commentator who focuses on the game and doesn't go off on long irrelevant rants about themselves. I also don't get when they show the facecams of both players taking up a major part of the screen with the board crammed on the side.

[@anthonybillups5203]

Excellent narrator, I enjoyed the blow by blow comments.

[@ashwinoashwin]

Mind blowing! I love how carlsen focused entirely on the king side and kramnik focusser entirely on the queen and the way carlsen got the knight from the queen side into play on the king side was just stunning! In the end kramniks rooks were soo far away from the action that they just ended up collecting pawns on the queen side while his kind side was being mauled by those four pieces as sagar points Also loved how carlsen just abandoned those pawns on the queen when he smelt blood! :)

[@soakedbearrd]

0:45 Nb4 attacking c2 with the bishop is a bad move, white castles, black takes pawn but isn’t developed. What happens after Rc1? Knight would have to retreat, then what happens after Bc7 attacking queen? For one pawn white would gain initiative against a uncastled and underdeveloped king.

[@mannacharya4088]

You capture with the Bishop. Capture of the Pawn comes with an attack on the Queen then

[@aguaaaaaaa]

i like the commentary a lot because I'm not that good at chess.. it helps me understand the stakes better. Thanks

[@Rikuzki]

0:36 Nb4 is not a big threat because white has the simple move of Bd3 which is in a practical game ±0 just like the move c3. Edit: accidentally typed Nb3 instead of Nb4.

[@Winnersneverquit19]

thank you...

[@mattreagan4347]

Thank you, at this level of play it is extremely rare that these two would miss something like that, not sure why the commentator thought that

[@MichaelCheng628]

its not a threat, but it isnt 0.0. after bd3 and nxd3 , then cxd3, black is slightly better at -0.5

[@Rikuzki]

@@MichaelCheng628 Wow, are you actually dimwitted? I said practical game ±0 meaning that the players don't play like Stockfish 15 with 30 depth. But even if you follow the best possible line from Stockfish all the way to the end, it ends up in a draw. Why? Stockfish can't convert a half a pawn lead against itself and if depth wasn't a limitation in chess engines, it would actually show 0.0 with best play from both. Edit: Even Ruy Lopez (Berlin defence main line) shows +0.5 for white after the basic moves and yet it's one of the most drawing openings in Chess

Salute to kramnik He's not even in his 50% capacity still plays for the fun of the game and even some how holds magnus Carlson

[@Norwegian733]

Of course he is much more than 50% of his capasity. Its small margins in the top, and if you lose 5% you are out of the top 100. But 50% is a huge overstatement. Its almost like claiming he`s a 1300 player.

What would be the following situation ? Its obvious for them game is over but for me it is not. If white moves knight to F7 and black king to e8 its mate but what if king goes to e7 or d7 ? Or did black just gave up cause he knew he would lose with less pieces ?

Kramnik should have taken the knight and run away with the king. Knight and queen collaborate well on the board. By not taking the knight you allow white attack to become more efficient.

Hi Magnus. My name is Noa, I live in Israel and really like chess. I work at a kindergarten and teach a kid that can get to 2000 in the elo rating system but gets tired. I would love for you to come to israel and take a look at kindergartens that have some great child players.

[@4321rpraveen]

Pause at 7:21 when kramnik resigns.. He could have moved C3 rook to take F3 rook.. then he can move forward between king and queen of white blocking Carlson from giving check mate... Y did he resign

[@TheRomanianWolf]

It was white's move... first white would have exchanged a rook, and then Rook takes g7... now Rg8 -> mate or wins the queen.

[@Caeluum]

Im confused, black played pawn B5 at 3:18 and Magnus played Pawn A5 to B6 as if Black pawn was in B6 instead of B5, or am I seeing things ? oO Edit : I'm a beginner so maybe there's a rule I'm not aware of ? :)

[@levitherat7443]

Caeluum this is a rule called en passant, it’s a French rule, you should definitely look into it because it’s an important rule to know :p

[@Caeluum]

@@levitherat7443 oh Well I'm french so...great ! 😂 Thank you Levi

[@deadpoolgaming8161]

Hey kramnik didn't miss Nb4, because A3 pawn could have easily threatened the knight also knight wouldn't have any safe square to move back😂(if knight had captured C2 pawn) Also Carlsen would have played bishop to d3 or rook to C1

[@bandagunjo6305]

I don't know what you say.

[@Lolllllllllllllllllllzzzzzzzzz]

didn't like the commentry were sagar said that the bishop was usually superior to the knight. well that might be true if there is the bishop pair but with out the bishop pair, the knight and bishop are equal. eventhough, knight won 55% of this type of games

[@stagna1959]

even one bishop is usually better than knight in endgames. Bishop is long range piece which can move from queenside to kingside really fast and protect a-pawn and h-pawn simultaneously if necessary . Knight is better in closed positions with many pawns when access to pawns is difficult and king cannot walk to opponent camp at all, but knight can jump there. Most great players including Fischer preferred bishop to knight. Bishop has its weaknesses of course to help promotions. Light square bishop + h-pawn against bare black king Kh8 is draw no matter how you play it.Dark square bishop cannot help a-pawn if black king parked his ass on a8-corner. Same pawns + knight is win.
