[@rushingbreeze5109]

can someone explain to my why the opponent doesn't pin magnus queen to the king with the rooks? at 2:16

[@bronxfy3993]

Because the rooks don’t defend each other in that specific turn

[@rushingbreeze5109]

@@bronxfy3993 I still don't get it... why does the opponent doesn't play rook e8 instead of bishop

[@user-ki7bd7rv4j]

Because he would’ve just taken the rook with the queen. It blunders a rook mate ..

On these where you see the other person, I always open notepad and resize it to block the other person, so I only see Magnus.
