  • Astonashing game!

  • Oh well!! I'm batting 1.000 (2 for 2)with picking a "MasterChessGames" video upload with no annotation. 3rd times a charm you might say? Don't think so.

  • @juanniyo Uhmm when he plays Nb5 which is probably what you meant, black could play bishop to h3 threatening checkmate. And once white defends it, black can then queenside castle and the knight threat would be thwarted.

  • The music is best!

  • Very interesting, I not only like the fun, cool game, but also the music. What was the interesting sound track choice?

  • I'm just an amateur that likes chess a lot and I am no match for Magnus Carlsen, But i tried stopping the video every time white had to move and try to figure out the move myself.

    At 0:43 I thought about Nc5 with the idea of Nxc7+ and Nxa8. I can't think of any way for black to prevent that without coming out worse than white. I suspected then that black may have a strong atack if Nc5 but I can't find it.

    I must be missing something since Magnus Carlsen played f4. Can anyone enlight me?
