Magnus Carlsen Wins Without His Queen

[@newpgaston6891]

Magnus' coach back then told him to never bring the queen out too early. So he took that to the next level and didn't bring her out before his opponent resigned.

Sometimes you forget how the knight moves, sometimes you forget how the queen moves, and it is so embarassing that you don't ask anyone and pretend you know what you are doing and hope nobody asks about it. After this game Magnus googled how the queen moves and then went on to become the world champion.

[@jilow]

The influence of the pieces was used (there was a point where Magnus would lose a pawn but it was defended by being on his queen's diagonal). However, it's still pretty crazy to not have moved them and for the game to be even basically to 'till the end.

[@ivanstayner8818]

Watching this live was absolutely fantastic. Seeing the two greats go head to head in an insanely sharp position and Magnus explaining everything in the press conference, even talking to a Norwegian friend before sitting down saying "he has to play Bf1, it's the only move" then proceeding to go through the drawing line Vishy missed. I guess Vishy was hell bent on winning, and probably he was earlier. Playing Raf2 instead of axb4 would have given a close to winning initiative.

Playing Raf2 when?

Just a tip from an audio engineer - you should put a bookshelf (with books) or two in your room.
