People are always talking about Ronaldo, Messi, Usain Bolt, Ronnie O Sullivan , Muhammad Ali ... well there is Magnus Carlsen !!! The beauty about his chess playing is you recognize and see all the genius moves but you never came up with it yourself. People compared him to Mozart, but I rather would compare Magnus to JS Bach ... creating a whole world out of nothing , a visionair !!! Sometimes the chess pieces own the chess player and he or she is stuck, not knowing anymore what to do ... Magnus Carlsen OWNS the chess pieces !!! I think it's very clear by now my respect towards this man is enormous...
In terms of the appeal of chess I feel this format with rapid games and good commentary is really shining a new light and hopefully will get more people into chess as a sport.
I love how Magnus marched his King over to the kingside, entombed it on h6, and then, with a flourish, broke open the position, and TADA! His king is perfectly placed. Just beautiful to watch.
Because after Nxf7 Hikaru would simply play Rxd1 and Magnus would've lost his queen, instead after Nxc6 you cannot play Rxd1 since white would play Nxa7+ win the black queen on b5 and end up having a pawn more than black.
if he did that, he will lost his queen by Hikaru's d8 rook. The Nc6 move, if Hikaru takes his queen, he will check on Na7 and take back Hikaru's queen. then if Hikaru takes his e1 rook, he will take this rook by his a1 rook. the position is completely winning for Magnus because he's up a bishop, and 1 pawn. My thought.
The Queen is hanging from the Rook in d8. The only way Magnus can get even here is the following tactic Nxc6>Rxd1>Nxa7 triggering a fork with a check in King on c8 and Queen on b5.
Great win. Was there any hope for Hikaru at some point in the game? To beat a Super GM like this, well that is why Magnus is still the champ. I want to know if the Nakamura's bong cloud works.
@@SuperRma777 Well, maybe. But Magnus is the world champion. I guess, the "mental edge" here is not to make a mistake at any point in the game. And Carlsen is 3 years younger than Nakamura. ;-)
@@SuperRma777 The mental edge is too fucking big for hikaru to achieve anything against magnus. It's actually kind of ridiculous how bad he plays against magnus compared to his play against other opponents. Blundering cheap tactics, One move blunders in the endgames, etc. All these things that be never does against anyone other than magnus. I really want him to get magnus Outta his head or he ll forever suffer against him.
well played by Hikaru and Magnus ! Nice win and can we stop disrespecting Hikaru for no reason?? please show some respect on a very strong GM anyways have a good day guys! can't wait for the world championship in November rooting for Magnus!
people who do not show respect do not get respect. it has always been that simple and is the whole of the reason for the nakamura hate. he has earned it very consistently over the years.
@@trickstarz2769 I've seen various things like that.. no one's perfect. You can make anyone look bad if you create a dedicated video, compiling all their worst moments. He seems a pretty decent guy, maybe a bit competitive with a bit of an ego, but I think the hate towards him often goes too far, and feels a bit disproportionate.
Everyone is flawed and has moments. Hikaru and Magnus are both good people. Both have had immature moments when they lost. It's just Magnus doesn't lose often.
01:50 Move 11 why black dont do xd4? (still dont know why) 03:55 Move 17 why black dont do Rxd1? (already got an answer) I am a newbie, please your insight 🙏
As for the first one I think hikaru just didn't want magnus's knight to become more active if he had taken that pawn magnus knight could've jumped further to some outposts and as for the move 17 he didn't go rook takes queen becoz magnus has knight takes a7 forking king and queen after all the trades magnus would be up a knight
@@SurajKumar-kk9pr thanks for the explanation for move 17, just realized. For the move 11, I still dont get it, the knight cant go anywhere because pinned the white Queen.
@@Chiefald for move 11, hikaru still had his king in the center of the board and his queen in front of it. While it’s true that the knight can’t capture back immediately, releasing the hold on e5 (by moving a pawn to capture) would allow white to “crash through” with his pawn at some key moment. There would be a semi-open (potentially open after maybe some Nb3 ideas winning/removing the pawn from covering the file) d-file and a semi-open e-file (in white’s favor) for placement of the rooks. With a potential fork of the bishop and knight, a potential pin on the queen to the king, and better piece activity for white plus the opportunity to create multiple threats (thus, more “active” development), not taking the pawn probably just felt like a safer option. It’s not necessarily that it couldn’t be taken, but hikaru may not have wanted such a passive, defensive middle game (which is ironic because the entire endgame was passive and defensive for him). At least that’s what I think I’m only 1500ish so I could be totally wrong but it made sense to me
@@Chiefald ah so sorry actually if hikaru takes the pawn the threat is actually to push e4 to e5 forking knight and bishop with pawn and if bishop takes magnus can go rook to e1 and suddenly there is this dangerous pin behind the bishop becoz hikaru's queen is in front of her king magnus can retreat his bishop to attack that bishop sooner or later atleast he will win hikaru's bishop
Not wise to play an end game with the greatest end game player of all time, when he does not have an advantage. Hikaru is a tricky player. He should focus on the attack in the middle game, checkmating Magnus, instead of simplifying into an equal end game.
Can someone explain why this is their last game? Or is it just last game of this tournament? Surely they'll play each other at some point in the future
Why didnt Hikaru go c5 with the rook in the endgame. If he takes he eats with pawn, if not he eats the rook. Has to bc the king is behind. Then he just advaces his pawn, if the white king goes to take you lead him to the bottom and all you have to do is eat that one pawn that is close you you.
Carlsen's Queen is vulnerable from rook D8. Moving Knight C6 would mean for Naka to eat the Queen, as Carlsen checks Nakamura's King and Queen with Knight A7. Had to pause the video to understand that part either. Brilliant move.
His coach.Yeah noone can stop you to work with other GM s to improve your game.You cannot talk to him during the game ofc but he probably gave magnus this idea after their first game (this is the third game and players have a 15 min break between games so thats when they probably talk about new idea to play).
after rook d8 white takes pawn on c7 with a check then black moves king to f6 and there is not checkmate with the rook to h8 and black have lost a pawn :/
Good question. I know it is a bit late to answer, but rb3 stops rc1 by white. Rc1 would attack the c7 pawn with check. And even though black can take one of white's pawns, white will take g6 and h5 after checking the king away from guarding them. When those black pawns fall then the white g and h pawns accompanied with the king will march forward.
Magnus Carlsen IS VERY RESPECTED BECAUSE HE IS A WHITE MAN WITH A BIG HEAD. PEOPLE RESPECT AND TRUST IN WHITE MEN, ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE A BIG HEAD. EXCUSE ME, BUT IT'S JUST THE TRUTH.
Sorry im not the best at chess, can anyone tell me why Hikaru couldnt take the queen @3:55 i know there is a check with the knight after if he does but thats as much as I can see lol
If he takes the the queen then Magnus plays Nxa7 check and forking the queen, Hikaru moves his king, magnus then takes the queen. Now Magnus is up a whole minor piece. That’s why Hikaru can’t take the queen
@@shrey__yt Not sure why you took that reply personally. It was not meant for you. Don't worry, looking at the level of your statement, no way we are calling you a genius :D
@@darkergreen1327 Not sure why that looks personally to you, my reply wasn't meant for you as well so by your logic you are taking my reply personally.

I'm very amateur at chess. Could someone explain why, at 3:53, Magnus does not take the pawn on F7? Would put pressure on both Rookes, no?
Because after Nxf7 Hikaru would simply play Rxd1 and Magnus would've lost his queen, instead after Nxc6 you cannot play Rxd1 since white would play Nxa7+ win the black queen on b5 and end up having a pawn more than black.

unfortunately Hikaru seems to have a mental block when against Magnus. It probably stems from really wanting to beat him.

She was meaning he’s the winner of their whole match if he wins this game. If he would’ve tied or lost they would’ve had to play again.

3:55 wasn't this a big mistake by Hikaru to not take the queen? (rook to D1)

white can play knight to A7 forking the black's queen and king and be up a pawn its easy win for white then
