Never Enter A Deep Dark Forest With Magnus

[@alexanderstoyanov7464]

I actually think Robben is more suitable for this comparison. Everyone knew he will make a simple short dash towards the middle and then shoot with his left foot and he still always did it. While Messi did all kinds of great things on the field so no actual signature move

[@jacktheleper4468]

His playing style is hardly messy

[@mariuszpudzianowski8400]

And like Fischer in another way - everybody can see and (with analysis) understand the moves, nobody can replicate

Magnus is a combo of capablanca and Fischer with a dusting of Morphy.

At first it looked like Gukesh was going to destroy him but then got destroyed in the process.

[@whyitmatters3076]

Gukesh is showing the sparks of brilliance. He needs a little more time to reach his peak, probably a year or two.

[@Sigma01350]

He should explore the previous goats of chess....!! Then he can succeed

[@mariuszpudzianowski8400]

He's still young so he will improve a ton in next few years.

Magnus is a machine & not human, 10 wins @ this level it's insane performance.

[@abhiseklohiya]

Rxe6 at time 5:46 in the video can also be defended by Be7? Would that be right or does it worsen black's position further?

[@TimBader-h7f]

I had the same question. After Be7 engine continues with Qg7 attacking the rook, Rf8 only move, Rxc6 Nxd1 and Nxd5 with a big attack for white. It’s around +3 from that point forward.

[@TimBader-h7f]

Also wanted to mention that you win back the black knight that captured on d1 because after that sequence I just mentioned Nc7! is the big threat winning the queen so you have to continue with Qa5 only move and after that the king can pick up the knight Kxd1

[@Keizer-v9c]

Magnus likes slow torture, but if you take him to sharp positions, he is equally good at those also

[@detectivemarkseven]

Seems Gukesh current weakness is fast time control

[@indianfan1029]

I think thats a well established truth. Just like Caruana, some people are not good at one second moves.

[@Azazelmorrow]

Yeah magnus said it himself, but he didnt literally said it's gukesh weakness. However, he said in the interview that gukesh plays more on calculation based so technically he is saying that his intuition is not that strong yet. Which makes it harder for him to play in a faster time control cause you barely use time.

[@mariuszpudzianowski8400]

Yeah, he's now at crossroads - focus full time on classical or start really training blitz and even bullet to improve his intuition.

[@spinzarc7896]

At 5:48 after black snags the e3 bishop and white plays Rxe6+, why does Be7 not work just claiming the extra material and refusing to let white have anything with fxe6?

[@JeanMarieKelly]

Hi Antonio, thank you for analysing that game(Carlsen vs Gukesh...(never enter a dark forest with magnus) Really appreciated. My query is after magnus played Knight to c4....why Gukesh didn't go for Rook capture e6 check instead of Queen g2? Thanking you in advance

[@californyaeh]

Instead of f7xRe6, can't Bf8 e7 ?

[@pedrofontes5484]

At 9:30, why not Nc5? Seems to me like it would solidify white's position

[@aznballer13]

Hey Agad. There has been a lot of news about Tyler1 playing the cow opening and reaching 1900. Wondering if his random games are good enough for a video analysis. #suggestion

[@josephlopez141]

did you say the "Durant Defence"?

[@v1991c]

i watched chessnetwork's video about this game, I'm not comparing channels or anything, but he explained something interesting about why Carlsen only fianchettoed the bishop on move 9. That was quite interesting!

[@nikosmichailidis8580]

What if gukesh play rook take e6 immediately? Would magnus take with pawn back? Then bishop g6 check only move is king e7 pawn f5 sacrifice the queen bishop g5 check.... You can check this line I think!

[@atedejong5620]

after Rxg6 you could directly go for Knight e5 and then get the king into safety through d7.

[@ObserveGuy]

Magnus game with such an announcement on an upcoming Mikahail Tal game... It doesn't get much better than that. It's in about the same level of a new AlphaZero coverage or a Casablanca Immortal, if not better...

[@videorezensent]

Possibly Magnus just did not expect Gukesh to take on g6, not because he was unaware of it but because of the option not to take the rook.

[@bencaruso1346]

Great game by the destroyer Magnus!

[@tsekebash]

Just Magnus stuff.🔥🔥

Carlsen really ought to play the world championship. Instead of adding fuel to his own ego, "i can continue being considered the best player without playing the world championship" just play it man. If you are a gifted player, you ought to use it.

[@marcjohn9404]

Magnus plays a lot more of this romantic style chess in blitz, that's for sure, and also since he's retired from the championship circuit, he's even been a little more ballsy in classical I think. I don't think he's as protective of his rating or anything, because I think he said that he's essentially given up on trying to get to 2900. He just seems like he's out there having fun, and he's playing some of the best chess of his life.

[@alpha007org]

When C19 happened, and all top 100 played each other online, I think for a lot of chess players that psychological barrier "I'm playing Magnus/Nepo/AnyTopGM face to face for the first time" had a positive effect. Imagine if Gukesh played TopGMs only once or twice before Candidates tournament. I don't think he would have even qualified.

[@indianfan1029]

There are some human traits that refuse to go, obviously I mean the negative ones. They reemerge, in every subsequent era. I can draw the analogy to Roger Federer in tennis. He absolutely hated the hawk eye reviews/challenges when they were introduced. He probably felt he had better chances of getting calls in his favour if it was left to the human umpires. Similarly it seems Carlsen may not have been very supportive of such a idea. They want to retain all their advantages probably. Including their aura, etc.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

He should reconsider in the future but it seems it’s a foregone conclusion Magnus won’t go that route I think Chess fans lose out because of that even though he’s won the event in the past

Although the fact that's it's a blitz game compromises that premise a lot

5:12 what if you start with Q xh4?

[@DeadFishFactory]

If rook goes back to g5 and cuts off the queen's diagonal, the queen is getting trapped soon. That may not even be a good response by white, but it is uncomfortable.

Hans Niemann isn’t afraid of using his deep dark forest

[@turtle752436]

well its one thing for Magnus to take you to the forest, but quite another for Gukesh trying to defend like he is playing for the championship against Liren. After 33...bxh4, the "amateur" 27 depth stockfish gives my good instinct move the knight forward 34.Nc5+. Forces an expect exchange, but after that good luck for black to find rook to h7, which ok its logical, put the rook behind the passed pawn, but would Magnus play it? that pawn is 4 moves away from queening and 2 moves away from the uboat alarm to sound, Magnus might just have opted to keep the rook engaged somehow. For lower ranked players there were plenty of traps after attacking with the knight, even sacrificing it to the king. Anyway, perhaps when the best of the best offers you a forest, the worst thing you can do is chicken out, and why? Fear of losing? I would rather lose in a forest, than retreating. Oh well, perhaps Gukesh was shocked by that missed opportunity earlier on, was afraid to blunder near the end there, anyway, good game, at least Gukesh did pick up on Magnus's offer/mistake with the bishop earlier on (even if he maybe got overboard excited to follow up successfully), and that is not nothing.
