Top 5 Magnus Carlsen Checkmates & Finishes

[@GRENKEChess]

What's your favourite game finish by Magnus Carlsen?

[@OrcaChess]

The Game against Svidler is amazing! My absolute favourite 💪🏼👍🏼

[@FM-kc7nx]

I Dont Unterstand the secomd Game why he did resign ?

[@orrel31]

@@FM-kc7nx Because black is threatening to give a check with the knight and win the queen wherever the king goes. And if the queen stops guarding the b3 square there is Nb3#. And if the quenn moves away but keeps the b3 square guarded black wins the queen anyways or gives checkmate in 3-6 moves. There are a few variations that's why I can't list them all.

[@aaronvandrei3052]

I just don't understand why they shake hands and quit early

[@royceisthebestrapper7686]

@@aaronvandrei3052 I’m not super good at chess but from what I can tell at a grandmasters level of play there comes a point both players realize what is going to happen within the next few turns, and instead of playing it out the player who will inevitably lose surrenders, I’m guessing it just seems pointless when you know you’re beaten, there’s always the chance an opponent might make a mistake but at that level of play it’s highly unlikely.

[@backspaceninja9860]

5:32 Game 3 is not Anand-Carlsen, but Carlsen-Anand. Carlsen is playing with the white pieces. 10:57 Game 1 is not Carlsen-Keymer, but Keymer-Carlsen. Carlsen is playing with the black pieces.

[@GRENKEChess]

True

[@GJAkuo]

Most of the dudes in the comments wanted an actual checkmate. 🤣 Im sure yall already know that in high lvl gameplay, players resign moves before the checkmate 1) for time sake, 2) no need to waste efforts avoiding the inevitable, 3) they see that far ahead. 🤣

[@milankipferler5929]

Still a bad video. There is no explanation or anything to tell us what happened. I understand that these players see it. BUT WE DON'T

[@nathanmurphy4374]

​@milankipferler5929 on the one hand, sure the video could use better explanation especially for newer players, but on the other hand, if you're an experienced player you should see why players agreed to draw or resign. If you're a newer player, you should reflect on the game and try to solve the positions yourself to improve.

[@kristinschafer7134]

Very nice:D

[@GRENKEChess]

Thanks, Kristin :) - We find it pretty awesome that you are commentating so active here!

[@mada2335]

I didn't understand the first game, why didn't he continue?

[@imnobody9250]

Its because of the initial position could reveal the king whereas it would be hard to cover it up with the positions of the pieces of the black

[@havardmj]

There is no way to defend b6, and there is no counterplay for black. The knight on d2 protects the only weakness in white's position, and there are simply too many threats after white picks up the pawn.

[@Quim1441]

@@havardmj Exactly. And remember that Magnus have 2 connected pawns in the center (d and e files). So easy to win for these super GM.

[@angiemasse]

Can someone explain, at 10:10 why the white queen didnt take the pawn at g3

[@ih8mcfly]

I don’t understand how any of these are check mate

[@jamielowes748]

I was thinking the same thing but these guys think so many moves ahead that checkmate would likely come 15 turns ahead but they can see it coming

[@kallocarina8879]

4th was def checkmate. I think most of the others are resignations

[@anthonyrobinson3514]

Most were resignations they knew with the pieces and position they cudnt win. I think the convo after the second game magnus was asking his opponent y he didn’t play it out cuz at the end of the convo it sounded like he said something like “it just looked worse then it was”

[@trxnd2638]

IT'S CHECK BECAUSE THERE WHERE NO MOVES POSSIBLE OR IF THERE WERE IT WAS A CHECK MATE AND IF A PERSON GOT A CHECK MATE U KNOW HIS RESPECT GET KINDA DOWN SO THEY JUST RESIGNED❤

why bother recording your moves if it will be recorded elsewhere ?

[@GRENKEChess]

What do you exactly mean?

[@thanossnap4170]

If they can memorize every game in their head, why do they need to write moves down? Is it just to be sage? ^^

[@higheloirl]

Well there are a lot of reasons for writing down moves, yes they can actually forget where the piece was few moves back and when they calculate, they need to know the whole process whether it's theory or mid-end game. Another reason is to avoid cheating/illegal moves. It is also ( I think ) mandatory to record the moves ( Fide 8.1.1 )

[@wilhelminmahtikanava]

Idk why i even watch these. I see them moving the pieces but i have no idea what any of them do.

[@bestbeforeapparel]

I understand technically when certain pieces are left the game is technically a draw, but why not keep playing and make weird moves hoping your opponent makes a mistake or something? (I know the chances are slim)

[@mukeshsahani6452]

10.33 Both Smile 😊 Just awesome

[@GRENKEChess]

True :)

[@kenkaniff6142]

Like, is it customary in chess to tell your opponent where the mistake was made if they ask? I don’t understand what the talking is afterwards. Just good sportsmanship? Help me understand. I understand good sportsmanship but I’m not going to give away any secrets on what, how or why I did it. I’m going for the throat and walking away if there’s nothing else to be said except good game, if it was a good game. I figure the shaking of the hands afterwards is as far as good sportsmanship goes. So assuming it’s nothing more than talk about the match. Right?

[@Valencesor]

I think it's best to look at chess as two scientists trying to figure out the best way to play the game out. These guys study the games anyway and likely will find it so I doubt it's giving much away.

[@kenkaniff6142]

@@Valencesor true that. I’m just a novice that likes to play. So me and friends will talk afterwards about certain moves. Perhaps it’s the same banter. Figured at that level they wouldn’t. Just curious is all.
