What are your thoughts on Magnus Carlsen's insane knight sacrifice from this game? Let me know in the comments section below! I will try to reply to all messages!
The plan with Qg5 seems to have been all along to place the knight on f6 Personally I would have thought that Nc2 would’ve been a good move after Qg5 but I didn’t realise the follow up threat of e5… The idea with Qg5 from the start I believe was to first exchange the bishop and then go e5 , dxe5 , dxe5 , ne8 then nh5+ and from there force an exchange of knights if Kg8 which would place the pawn on f6. I don’t know why the computer disliked the move because even with Qe7 in response to Qg5, white will execute the idea of placing his pawn on f6 after Bxg7 Kxg7 , e5 , ne8, Nh5+ kh8 and Nf6… Why was it not approved by the computer is a question I want answered … Great channel btw , good content and I’m just getting back to chess great to see some new content creators I don’t remember seeing you 4 - 5 years ago when I was first starting using UA-cam as a learning platform for chess
Why not f5 at 8:27? White doesn’t want go in for the following line where white knight is lost obviously: f5, Qf6+ , Qxf6, exf6, Kxf6 , Rf3+ , Kg7 The following line I’m not sure about: Qg4, f5 , f6+ (en passant) , Qxf6 . Rg3, Kf8, Nf3 , Bb7, Nd2 … Or what do you make of this variation? after g5 I’d you go Rg3 directly, then kf8 , Qg4 , échange sack Rxe4 , Rxe4, Nd5 , threatening f5 which would this forks the queen and rook, then you retreat the rook back to Re1 , black goes f5, exf6 and Nxf6 and the queen must retreat to d4
I actually found Bc6 as I was looking for tactics there but why is the precursor move Rxd4 necessary? I just imagined going Bc4+ directly works just fine ,
Yea it wasn't his best performance, really a crazy game with weird positions, it's understandable that his pattern recognition didn't kick in and he got lost in the ompliications

Qg8 also wins which forces either black's Q to take or rook to take but either move will promote the pawn after white's rook takes on g8.
Good find!

More pins than a wrestling match.
Hahahaha

Really have to say that Fabiano lost this game in quite a bad way.

12:11 Why is this forced? What would happen if he didn't take the knight?
What about bishop threatening the king king has to take and knight is pinned (cannot take the bishop) as a result winning the queen
Which move are you talking about? Or what time in the video?
