      I actually liked his style of play when he was 12 and 13: he played aggressively and sacrificed pieces. Now his play is more positional and not as fun.

      DarkNinja24 I wouldn't really call it a trap, it's a sacrifice, unlike most traps, sacrifices when not accepted usually lead to a bad position for the opponent while traps when not accepted usually just end up in a normal game or even a bad position for you

    FYI 12...NC6 is absolutely playable. 13.d5 is not a refutation because closing the center can turn into black's advandtage if they can, after preparation including g6, Nf6->e8->g6, play a favourable f5.

  • @pranavgoel9978
    @pranavgoel9978 7 років тому +1

    Awesome! To be fair though, the sequence after taking the queen - a sure shot checkmate should have been seen by the opponent, but if he had not taken the queen, then white would have been in too strong a position, and would have won eventually. Opening up the diagonal via pawn sacrifice was really cool :)

      If you mean after the queen took on g5, he responded with the best move.
      Retreating the king instead of capturing the queen is just a quicker mate.

  • @DevEastVan

    carlsson fully utilizes the queen to ultimately sacrifice for the clear diagonal block while Blake thinks he has the upper hand by taking the queen, Blake underestimated the 12 year old by not acknowledging the motives behind the queen sacrifice...amazing

  • @sergioviana84
    @sergioviana84 6 років тому

    1:13 Nc6 was the beginning of the end. For a 2K+ player, that was a crazy bad move, not only hurting game balance but setting himself in defense mode, which costed him a momentum of white attack... and then 1 more move behind, 1:32 Ra7, being 2 moves behind, a perfect situation for pieces sacrifice and endless attack

  • @mrquickey3731
    @mrquickey3731 6 років тому

    I think Black player made a huge mistake and could easily win the game after the queen sacrifice if he can see this. If he doesnt take the Knight on H6 when he got checked by the rook on F7 but instead retreats to H8 square things could've been quite different because then the queen have open attack position on the Knight on H6 and it is defended by the pawn on G5. Yea Hans didnt see that coming. Very risky play by Carlsen, he was too good at mind control XD

    If you could just show throughout that who is black and who is white, your videos are super awesome!

    can any one explain is it possible to save the game for black if he would have played Kh8 instead of capturing knight at the end ? after that Qh6 may be the better continuation!

      Ramasamy Manoharan no, the next move would still be checkmate. Rook would still take h7. Then the Knight would be covering G8, and the rook would be covering G7

    So I'm kind of confused, why couldn't the king go h8 at 5:18?

      Shivam Goundar white Would play Rh7 check mate. With the knight covering the g8 square and the bishop the h7 square Incase king takes the rook h7. Beautiful checkmate indeed.

    I’d be hella mad knowing the fact that he sacrificed a queen and I still lost

    If I got beat like that by a 12 year old I would probably quit the game forever
