[@phen-themoogle7651]

Pete the engines point out something’s that humans wouldn’t consider blunders sometimes ,but on the other hand Magnus would find a lot of inaccuracies in his own play that the engine wouldn’t even consider a mistake or inaccuracy. I’m not near Magnus but my average is about 2 to 3 inaccuracies and 2 or 3 mistakes per game according to stockfish but I consider myself making about 3x more positional errors or bad plans overall even if the position doesn’t evaluate much change like if it’s in a closed position. The engine doesn’t evaluate some complicated closed positions correctly sometimes.

[@jaspermori2623]

Magnus is legend to all aspect of chess.

[@JellyBinTV]

on 2:04 why did he not take the C3 pawn with his bishop also checking the king

[@heyfsasd6167]

at 6:50 Qg5 is winning?? threat is Rxf6, pawn takes, queen takes - if queen block then either rook is hanging. if king moves then u can play Rb3 and check next move if instead black plays Rg8, then Qh6+ rg7 qh8+ rg8 Rxf6 - same exchange as before but this time the black king cant move, so after queen block you take on D8

[@sethdavenport5813]

Magnus's comments are often being made fun of instead of taking lessons. Neither Magnus nor the other players are robots. They all are human improving their skills each day. One of the main characteristics of human players which differ them from computers is the emotion which computers don't have. There are some moments in which even the best chess players feel weak and ruined for very simple reasons such as sleeping few hours, not feeding well the body, arguing with a friend or a lover , being withness of a scary thing in your daily life or the decease of a very close friend or family member. If you want to play powerful and achieve good result, you should play chess in your best moments. So i would respond to the question "Why am i so weak at Dynamics in chess?" because today you are not feeling well yourself.

[@vikramsrinivasan8176]

5:10 Queen to A4 at this point an infiltrating move would have made Carlsen to play defensively. A check at d4 or central pawn grabbing at e4 would have unsettled Carlsen.

[@vikramsrinivasan8176]

One cannot eternally defend Carlsen.

[@Joseph-nh6in]

At 7:22 what if Magnus moved his pawn to d6 instead of e5? Because then if the opponent captures the pawn with his pawn then Magnus can check him and the only move is to block with queen and then Magnus can checkmate with f7? If the opponent instead captures the d6 pawn with the rook then after Carlsen recaptures the rook then he will still be able to deliver check on the newly undefended f6 pawn. I am assuming there is a glaring noob mistake that I am making. Edit: Lol, I just put this into stockfish 10 and of course it says to make the move that Carlsen moved.

[@hackjokes9901]

in this position 6:10 what you guys think of qg5 rg8, rxf6 exf6, qxf6 qf7, qxd8 kg7, rf1... looks attempting i guess

[@muzicismyescape1353]

I like it. Though black would just get mated if he plays Qf7 with Qxf7# (backed by the pawn on e6). So Qg5 Rg8 would just result in black getting mated after Rxf6. Maybe black can defuse the attack with Rh7? Let's say ... Qg5 Rh7, Rxf6+ exf6, Rf1? I think Rf1 would win back the sac'd rook for white at least if not checkmate. Nice catch with Qg5!

[@Bobstew68]

At 2:00, why not Bxc3+? Isn't it a free pawn?

[@fichthammerli7282]

On 04:53 why not play rook takes f7 and after black is forced to take with the queen play rook b8 to f8? Wouldn't that win the queen?

[@FELAGUND3]

Yeah but with Queen X Rook he would end up loosing 2 Rooks to win the Queen. Not necessarily a good exchange.

[@Isaac-vy9bx]

4:48 why doesn’t RxF7 instantly win here? After QxF7, RB1 is winning right?

[@christianodenwald]

1000-elo-question: why can't he take on c3 with the bishop at 1:42?

[@shivanthm7862]

Because after Bxc3, Bd2. ...Bxd2 Qxd2. ...Na5 Bb5+. ...Kf8 Qc3. And white is better and wins back the pawn.... Now where is my 1000elo??

[@sdbaets]

He certainly can take the pawn, but it would weaken his position. Example: 10....Bxc3+ 11.Bd2 Bxd2+ (if he moves his bishop you take the knight so it's forced) 12. Qxd2 Nd4 13.Nxd4 cxd4 14.qxd4 and you have the pawn back with a good position. If 12...Nb8 holding on to the pawn, white has much more space and developed pieces. Black has a weak king and no pieces developed. So white can finish development or just play Qc3 attacking the c pawn and rook immediately.

[@laurentsaltoflife9267]

You can, but after something like ...Bxc3+ Bd2 Bxd2+ (else Nc6 falls) Qxd2 Na5 Qc3 hitting h8, white has great play on the weakened dark squares and can also recover his pawn (Qxc5) if he wishes

@5:02, why not rook-f take pawn f7? Queen forced to take, rook-b to f1, black rook h8 to h7 defending, free rook. Queen vs rook ending clearly winning. Am I missing something there?

[@chizhr]

You are missing qf7 takes rook on f1. So it will be two rooks versus queen. Magnus's queen is very active but it might be just a draw

Guys, I'm pretty new to chess so I'm confused at 0:52. What's the point of that move? I know all the high-rated chess players play it, so there must be something I'm missing.

[@itchykami]

My guess would be a few things: It essentially lays claim to G5; which might be a good place to have a piece in many games, it opens up H2 in case the king ends up on that side. Alpha Zero likes the move too, so it seems pretty solid.

After Bxc3, Bd2 will force an bishop exchange since the knight on c6 is under attack. Black needs that bishop since it is controlling the long diagonal and most importantly protects the king when he plans on castling.

[@specialperson335]

Maybe i dont understand chess so well but why does he play pawn h4 at 1:03?

To attack Black's king side after Black castles shor with pawn h4-h5. If Black takes with the G-pawn, the H-file will be open for White's rook and queen.

i dont see a counter to e6 now that i look at it its forced.you cant do anything.you cant move the qween as then itll be mate,you cant defend the pawn.if you move the pawn forward logically by 1 as by 2 rook takes and everything falls apart.so if you move by 1 then rook sacrifice on f6,either pasn takes or qween blocks ofc pawn takes as if qween takes game is lost anyway.then white qween takes pawn.qween wont block cuz checkmate so king g1 as f1 back would lead to an eventual mate with the help of rook f8 check anyway,qween to g5 check king going f8 would be mate with rook so only other move is king to h2, leading to rook f8 and no way to stop the mate.pretty sure i missed some stuff.do correct me if you can even understand what i just wrote i dont know "Qfx6" and stuff like that.anyway haha take that magnus i made a better move than you hahahahahahahaha!
