Indeed that was a crazy move on Magnus Carlsen's part! And a move can still be shocking even if it's well known, and I think this move certainly qualifies!
Clickbait means you promise XYZ, and do not deliver XYZ. I promised Alireza Vs Magnus with a specific knight sac via the chess board picture, and it was delivered. How does this qualify as clickbait good sir?
@@ceji566 If I wasn't literally (probably) the fastest growing new chess UA-camr who also does very educational videos... nah I still wouldn't care, but I definitely don't right now 😂
@@drmikechess It wasn't a f*ing shock. Carlsen willingly walked into it with ...Nxd5, knowingNxf7 was coming. It's a well-known line, thought to be better for White. That's why Black almost always plays ..Na5 instead and sacrifices a pawn for the initiative. Carlsen was probably just playing a subpar line to mess with Firouzja or for surprise value.
Brother, a move can be established theory, and still be shocking. By your logic, literally 0% of games are shocking, as most follow established theory well into the middlegame or endgame. If literally sacing a knight on f7 early in the opening does not qualify as a shocking move, what does?
Carlsen's former trainer GM Simen Agdestein played this line as Black in a classical game in 2016 which I'm sure Magnus knew. Magnus diverged from that game with 10 ... b5 whereas Agdestein played Kd6.
Wow interesting find, I didn't know his former trainer played this in a real game! Yes I'm confident Magnus knew about this line, it's still interesting he went for it anyway and against Alireza Firouzja in the Speed Chess Championships Finals no less!
It's not really a "big mistake", Carlsen obviously know the whereabout of that opening. It is from Greco (1620) demonstration and it's an absolute classic. 8... Nb4 is the good continuation.
Agreed Carlsen knew about it and allowed it to happen, but it must qualify as a mistake based on the objective merits of the move. And yes obviously the move is well known. But most moves well into the middlegame and endgame are well known. Am I supposed to talk as if the first 20 moves of most games are dull and boring because the ideas are mostly well-known? The comments section is brutal 😂😂😂
Wow thank you brother! I'm sorry it took me so long to reply to your comment and $2 super thanks, t really means a lot! I'm trying to reply to comments etc. more now so feel free to leave a comment on my newer videos and I'll do my best to respond!
As a total rookie I was fascinated by this variation. Everybody knows the variation until d4. There the game begins. Nice idea by MC. I totally hate this massive clickbait approach.
Brother, clickbait means you promise XYZ and do not deliver XYZ. I promised a specific knight sac played by Alireza against Magnus (the knight move is LITERALLY on the chess board on the thumbnail - you can literally work out the exact position very very fast). Please explain where I promised something via the title or thumbnail, which was not delivered in the video? Or are you changing the definition of "clickbait" for some reason? Honestly I can't follow your train of thought here at all.
Maybe so, but Alireza wasn't on top, as the advantage went back and forth like a seesaw in this game until the very end when Alireza executed the ending with 4 pawns against a bishop flawlessly!
I don't think he lost on purpose, I do think he played into a slightly dubious line on purpose, allowing the Nxf7 idea, and wanted to outplay Alireza from a slightly worse and crazy position, but it backfired as Alireza was too good in this game!
I think Magnus was inviting Alireza to take on f7 with the knight, Magnus often plays slightly bad or dubious lines and then tries to outplay his opponents from crazy positions, but it didn't quite work out in this game!
That’s a known line played for centuries, more shocking is Magnus playing Nxd5, I can’t believe he willingly went into that line.
Yeap, Magnus challenged Alireza in the tactical realm. Sayin: " I'll beat you that way as well."

@@Elia__Holm Haha Magnus making a statement!
Workout for seniors
That was so shocking, geezus, how do these guys maintain composure with all the shocking going on in a GAME
I have no IDEA! 😂😂😂
not really shocking or insane, this is known for millenia
Fried Liver Attack.
Magnus is black. He is not supposed to win.
Yh he's the GOAT... he shouldn't win. Retar*
It was shocking to me
At high levels, it's an unusual line to play
Bad blunder by Firouaza early on and surprisingly a bad blunder by Magnus in the endgame. A very fun blitz game
Yes a fun game for sure!
Great! One of the best game i've ever watched.
Thank you brother!
'd5 is forced'
Traxler: am I a joke to you
?
1:43 "Only Alireza knows how to punish it." Nxf7 has been known in that position literally for decades. Click bait video.
clickbait agreed. targeted audience: those not playing chess, those playing chess for less 1 week

WTF .... nothing insane about theory that is established for more than 100 years.

I never want to hear "on the board" again.
Ok brother see you in the next video!
Please stop repeating their names 50 times. Jeezus.
Americans😂
Sorry brother! I'll work on that in my newer videos!
@@mahanpasdarpour8945 Is this an American thing? haha
@@drmikechess Yeah.😅
What is at 12:59 white goes to g6 put a check
Thanks!

Alireza in amazing shape!
Yes it was a brilliant game by Alireza! 🔥🔥🔥

@@drmikechess This is a very well known knight sac. There is nothing SAVAGE that SHOCKS anyone >2000, neither there is "Total Destruction!"
Fischer would have been salivating, spying the King in the middle of the board.
Dinner is served, maestro Fischer!
Haha yes this is a dream position for Bobby Fischer!
My Paul Morphy would too!
As I said many times: when alireza is on top, he's better than Magnus on top.
Maybe so, but Alireza wasn't on top, as the advantage went back and forth like a seesaw in this game until the very end when Alireza executed the ending with 4 pawns against a bishop flawlessly!
That comment is rather provocative... nevermind 😂
@@theUroshman Yes Alireza played brilliantly in this game, especially the endgame!
Prince Alireza👑👑
🔥🔥🔥
Very Interesting game Bro !
Thank you brother! 🔥🔥🔥
A World Champion that falls for one of chess's oldest opening traps??
Magmaximus knows better than to go 3...Nf6!
Haha Magnus showing his flair as usual!
The best player in the world fell for the fried liver attack? 😂 i swear this world is a simulation
Fried liver attack failed
👍
brilliant new idea in chess, stunning novelty
Never said it was new or a novelty, but brilliant absolutely describes the move!
Nice game ❤
Thank you brother!
Without all the extra verbiage and unnecessary trivial sidelines that could have been a 5 minute video. Check out Ben Finegold for examples.
Thanks brother, I'm a relatively new UA-camr and working on improving my videos, I think you'll like my latest videos more!
Did Magnus lose on purpose?
I don't think he lost on purpose, I do think he played into a slightly dubious line on purpose, allowing the Nxf7 idea, and wanted to outplay Alireza from a slightly worse and crazy position, but it backfired as Alireza was too good in this game!
Strange that Carlsen should play n takes p in the fried liver. There are so many other better lines.
I think Magnus was inviting Alireza to take on f7 with the knight, Magnus often plays slightly bad or dubious lines and then tries to outplay his opponents from crazy positions, but it didn't quite work out in this game!
Far too much yapping, so much I gave up.
The most annoyingly overdone commentary I've ever heard, not just for chess.
