8:23 why not e4-e5 check with 2 connected passers?

[@theretrogame-a-holic8722]

Who won and how can you tell?

[@olliejobson6371]

I am so surprised... Yuri had a much better position, but Magnus still managed to get a draw out of that.

[@franz4152]

Bishop And 2 pawns usually are more strongs that the Rook.

[@matthiasdauth1153]

Why didnt magnus carlson take the rook at minute 5 with his knight

[@sakurachan9651]

Because the knight that cannot be moved by minor piece or a pawn is stronger than a rook ..

[@matthiasdauth1153]

And who won ? 😂 and plz explain why

[@sakurachan9651]

Its a draw .. Because magnus can sacrifice his rook for a pawn and a bishop .. And then white will only had 1 pawn left ..and its going to be stalemate (which is draw)

[@mrsea5697]

But 1 pawn can be Queen though

@@mrsea5697 Google king opposition in chess. This is one of very first things most players learn how to do, that is, stop a pawn from queening. Generally speaking, if white's king had been ahead of his pawn, he would have good chances to win; otherwise, it's a draw with accurate play.
