That's Just Impressive! || Aronian vs Carlsen || GCT Tata Steel Rapid (2019)

[@TheHigherSpace]

Jesus endgames are so hard ... even in a completely winning position a seemingly natural move will cost you the game ...

[@dhwajgupta1738]

@Bryan Black in end game since no. Of pieces are few the no. Of possible moves increases significantly. Out of those moves only very few are correct one resulting in increased complexity in calculating lines. Some end games can be obvious but many are very tricky to calculate.

[@ryanholmes9616]

At 7:23 we're given a couple seconds, and the move offered by Agadmator seems good but I think there may have been one that's of similar quality (maybe better?). Maybe it was discarded because this is a rapid game? Bishop Takes on C4 immediately threatens the Rook on D3, which would be picked up with Check if White simply captures the Bishop on D8 with the Knight. If the Queen recaptures it's an absolute blunder because you just check with Black Queen on F1, which seems to have no effect (the White queen is protecting the rook at this point), however then you just play C7, which pins the Knight on C6. The queen can try to defend the knight as she retreats, but if you take the knight then after recapturing the rook on C7 will hang and you'll have a very good position for attacking White's King. If the queen unpins by moving without defending, you win at least the knight (and save your dark square bishop) and get an open C file for your rook. Best move for White in the whole setup seems to be Rook to D2, (Following the initial Bishop to C4 Pawn Capture), however then you have Queen to F3 (and Queen to E4 threatened immediately after) as well as the same threats of a rook pin C7 if the queen ever captures the White Bishop on C4. Once pinned, the Queen has to move, which leads to a capture of Queen takes Pawn on E4, checking the King and opening up a double attack on the C6 knight via the queen and the rook. Of course there's probably something I missed...

[@Sagar-wn1po]

Please reply my doubt- Aronian castled on queen side with two knights there. What if Magnus takes knight with white pawn? It will destroy pawn structure near your king. Isn't it would be bad for white?

[@BlueTube6575]

If you could put a piece near each of their photos to specify which color they are. Some of the later games, it gets a little tricky to tell sometimes.

[@krushgroovin7513]

BlueTube6575 The player whose pic is always on the bottom left is always the White plaver, just as the player with his pic on the top left is always Black player. cheers

I CAN`T believe, Aronian didn`t play Nf4+. I would find it with 0,01 second on the clock in Bullet. It seems, that Magnus has some secret hypnotic power 😆
