The Magnus Carlsen conqueror in Uzbekistan - Maxime Vachier Lagrave | World Blitz 2023

[@RodrigoMontes]

What a nice exchange sacrifice, giving up the rook for Carlsen's most active piece (the knight) in order to get a positional and clear advantage in the endgame. Super class play!

[@kirill.borisov]

That's precisely the way Alpha Zero plays. Sacrifice material for the better position, the destroy the opponent. NB: not only the knight, but also the most active pawn (soon-to-be-queen).

Really amazing Chess by MVL. He just Controls his nerves and finishs the game😊. He is very calm a d focused.

Maxime en a chié grave

[@tkdmon.]

This loss put Magnus in berserk mode. He won 6 games in a row afterward

[@gaelpop]

In order to win against Magnus, you have to beat him 3time : in the opening, in the middlegame and in the endgame. Gg to MVL !

[@willyh.r.1216]

MVL is always a beast for Magnus.

[@houssineatm7827]

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

It is well-known that Maxime is very good at blitz and he has won many tournaments

[@taylaca]

I just realized that Magnus and MVL are trolling the arbiter before the game by pretending to pre-plan a draw, after the whole Dubov-Nepo thing. 🤣 Magnus: "You know there's a stalemate in 13 moves, yeah?" MVL: "No, 10 is better." Both: *laughs* MVL: “With Qe6 at the end.” Magnus: “Ah, yeah yeah yeah, I was thinking about the one with…” (inaudible) MVL: (inaudible)… “yeah yeah with Bh4.” Magnus: “Yeah, yeah.” MVL: (to arbiter) “Yeah, we’ll make your job easier.”

[@malikrimzan5765]

Man MVL is tricky. Just when we thought Magnus had the competition in his hands, the Frenchman strikes. The evaluation bar really says it all!

[@madesh1000]

Now mvl try to become a chess champion , Very tactical player Sharp mind

[@ugljesavojvodic3384]

What about K-d5 on 7:00?

[@faznaz7455]

After Re3 in the endgame (around 9:00) , why didn’t Magnus take the rook? He instead brought his king to f8 to defend the rook and MVL approached with his king as well. I wonder how white can make progress with the lone Bishop and the 2 extra pawns on the queenside.

[@KoopaT]

Rxe3 and Kf8 are equally good there. The decisive mistake was actually taking the rook a few moves later. Rc8 or f4 was necessary there instead.

[@nikhilguleria4836]

Only loss in 5 days , 34 games = 19W + 14D ❤ Blitz 12W + 8 D, Rapid 7W+ 6D. Summary of Rapid and blitz 2023

[@DeepMind-n9q]

Who is Nepo sitting with in the back?

[@mdoebs5946]

Can someone explain why Magnus didn't play a6, kicking the knight and saving the pawn at the same time? You could tell he was thinking about that move for a while and then gave up the pawn to castle... Seems like the pawn majority on that side had a huge effect on the endgame though.

[@gustavogroeff7239]

After a5 by MVL, if Magnus were to play a6, MVL would play bishop b6, attacking the black queen. Queen moves, and now the bishop on b6 protects c7, so knight c7 is a fork of the king and the rook. Magnus would lose a rook for a knight, would lose his right to castle, and MVL would have the white bishop protected on b6, so that's why he gave up the pawn on a7.
