"He's winning but it doesn't mean that he'll win the game."

[@ozzyfromspace]

Undead Nightorc that one line pretty much sums up why he’s the best. When he says it, he actually believes it because he knows it comes from a place of confidence, knowledge, and honesty that he can trust.

[@zhugezhouliangyu509]

In opposite, from his talk, after Rd3, MC spends almost all of his time until 30 secs remaining. It sign little panic. He don't know what to do to continuing his attack. But, in the end, his instinc take over, and Qf5 is the only move! and just play whatever his gut feeling (this for us, mortals, we know he activated his beast mode lol). Ofc this is not work with top level GM. His choice for Knight sacrifice early show that he cleary know to adjust his skill for the opponent. I mean if he serious from move 1, nobody can withstand. Many of super GM, including Hikaru once says that even in bad form, Magnus' mediocre move is naturally good move. Just shows us how really good his instinc from vast memories

@@Angelica-cj5wf Yes, that's what I'm saying, as an all-around player Carlsen is probably the best, but strictly talking about invention and creativity, I think those two and Capablanca had more, and given his standards he probably measures himself against the very best, so in a way he's right.

[@alephnull4044]

I always get to that stage in a game where I have no ideas and I can find a refutation for every move I have available. Position isn't even lost most of the time, it's just that there's nothing productive to do (that a human can see anyway). Then I lose.

[@julianmangan9752]

How do I get that theme on chess24? Maybe I’m missing it, only see 3 basic color schemes

[@ScizGraffiti]

at 1:59 why can't he play bishop H4. Taking with the pawn would result in mate in two if the queen goes G4 then G2. If pawn doesn't take bishop, bishop could take on G3 and if knight takes back go queen H3 then maybe G2?

[@dickbrazen]

Pausing at 4:10, what's wrong with bringing the D8 rook to G8, saccing the first rook, then bringing the bishop up if he takes it so you can move the G8 rook to G6 and then H6?

[@ankurgupta9106]

*"They are there in your mind"*

[@Sedaymiya]

Was wondering why he did that Qc5 before moving the queen to the h file. This is a nicemove! it provokes Qf2 that is an important escape square for the king. either way he was mating, but still some high class technique

3:01 what about bishop g5 here? It threatens rookh6 If bishop takes then we have rook takes knight takes and Rd6with the idea of Rh6 and Qh1 If knight takes we have either Rh6 or Rdd6 (probably the latter is better) with the idea of using the h-file

What does Rdd6 means? And probably knight and not bishop takes and magnus I think can't do nothing in this case
