The Hidden Dragon || MVL vs Carlsen || Sinquefield Cup (2019)

[@depthsofminds]

that one dislike is from the bishop that carlsen likes to give up in the beginning of his games

[@helium4169]

47 other bishops also disliked because they got sacrificed

[@oscaro.172]

Man, Magnus really did "pull a Magnus" in this tournament, starting off mediocre but pulling off two wins in a row at the end to finish first. Crazy.

[@14b3am]

He just waited n waited for an opportunity to show

[@sid7607]

TBH he was playing well in every game. I think in all his games he had a better position and he was pushing for a win. His opponents just defended well, and drew. I don't think he ever had any chance of losing a single game in classical.

Gary Kasparov said in an interview to Yasser yesterday that "The thing with Magnus is that Once he gets that single win then He's unstoppable beast. The Flood gate of wins opens for him the moment he gets his win" and You saw how he won against Wesley So and Now against MVL and now heading to playoff. Mind This Mr. World Champion has never lost in playoffs or tiebreakers. Ding barely survived this tournament against Vishy. God have a grace on him. #BeastMode of Magnus is on. Let's see what happens to Sergey as Ian lost against Giri blundering 3rd time in this tournament. What an amazing guy Nepo is. 6 decisive result out of 11 and also Vishy drew in his last round against Hikaru and said in an interview if Magnus had been in his position getting those solid positions on the board consecutively, he would have scored 6+. Unfortunate, Vishy played too positionally rather than tactically. Waiting for the last result, seems like Sergey gonna win against Caruana. And We're gonna have 3 way tie for the playoff. Let's wait for Rapid (G10+5). #BeastMagnus is back. (Edit - We're gonna have 2 way tie, Sergey fucked up his solid position against Caruana and made it a draw just like Vishy has done 5 times in the tournament so far.)

[@hisuianarcanine9379]

Not sure if I'm missing something but @4:12 if white captures exf5 wouldn't that lead to ..Bd4 with a nasty skewer on the Rook, Queen, and King? I feel like that's why Nf3 was justified a little.

[@VR471]

Exactly what I commented just a little while back. At first glance, it looks like Nf3 was to prevent Bd3 because that comes with a royal skewer.

On 8:32 if there were no queen or rook defending the g pawn. Can black capture with the queen on g2? Because white should enable tocapture back the queen as the black rook is pinned? I wonder can a pinned piece capture the king?

[@captainnautilus9578]

7:58 is actually MVL who is up material in that line, he is up the exchange... but that line was better I think! those advanced pawns are insane!

[@VR471]

04:16 After white plays exf5, why would black play Bxf5 instead of Bd3 which comes with a royal skewer(rook, queen and king)? Maybe that's why MVL didn't capture on f5?

In the 7:55 variation Carlsen would not be up material. He doesn't have two pieces for a rook, since white still has the knight. Carlsen would just be down the exchange.

Bravoooo Carlsen. First the world champion unleash the Dragon bishop and then crush MVL witj the Monster Knight. Now Magnus has the chance to win this Tounament by beating D Liren in the tie break. Looking foward.

[@soakohaji8009]

4:43 Isn't that knight move the only move to prevent Bd3? How is the knight move a blunder.

[@ItsAllAboutGuitar]

8:13 I have an extremely interesting question. Say for instance you open up a discovered check from the pinned rook on g7 and it happened to be mate ( I know it's not in this case, but pretend pawn captured on g2 then f1, etc... and for some unknown reason MVL let that happen ). Can that actually be considered checkmate because the piece responsible for the check is pinned, thus it couldn't make the final move to capture the king?

[@ItsAllAboutGuitar]

Nm, it's not that interesting. You'd just capture the pinned piece.

[@shibamchandra8225]

After carlsen played Queen to e3 maxime should play rook to e8.. In that case carlsen couldn't check mate him..

[@disasterpiece7583]

6:34 why not play Rc1 in order to save the knight after exf4 Qb2+ Rb-g7 h6 and fxe4 this way you wouldnt get forked and after hxg7 and Rxg7 you would just move the knight and be up the exchange. whats the idea here am i missing something?

[@hisuianarcanine9379]

disasterpiece x I think the idea is to prevent d5 because after the same attack and after some exchanges, black would would a strong pawn chain in the center. For example Rc1...exf4. Qb2+...Rbg7. h6...fxe4. Then wherever the knight moves, d5 is coming and if cxd5 then Qxd5 attacking the g2 pawn. If f doesn’t take pawn on d5 then d4 is coming and that pawn center would be too strong

[@Gruesome_j]

Great job brother keep it up

[@krasio1]

thanks for the instant post commentary. @2:19 engine thinks knight to h4 is a lot better than rook on e1. can sm1 explain to me why? what if pawn to g5 after?

[@faznaz7455]

Rook to e1 is fine but the idea behind Nh4 is to play for f4 which seizes more space for white. G5 looks like a very ugly weakening move because Nf5 looks very strong and if you ever trade on f5 then you take back with pawn and the e7 pawn looks very weak. Also you can play for f4 to attack g5 pawn to open up Black's king. You can never play e6 with pawn on f5 after trade when knight goes to Nf5 which means other knight Nd5 can be played and you can't kick it out with e6 which means it is permanently on a strong square. Just some of my thoughts here.
