      However, Rover responds with nose to the couch. This is really an excellent move for Rover, as it could allow for ideas like sniffing the couch, or kicking Spot with his hind legs. Spot cannot counteract with moving across the room, because he is lazy.

      As someone who's relatively new to chess it feels as though some high level games can be coasted through without any real ability or creativity. A low level player could more or less get to the drawn position agadmator points out simply by remembering the theory up until that point. Seems like only in the endgame is where real skill is introduced.

    Amazing endgame by Carlsen. It is very hard to pinpoint when did Fedoseev in fact go wrong.
    Most probably, he should have played 66 b3 (instead of 66 Nxg5). This would have granted him a few crucial tempi and allowed him to sacrifice the knight for the black's queenside pawns.

    • @ongbonga9025
      @ongbonga9025 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I don't think 66 b3 works. It buys white time, and although black will eventually have to give up his bishop for the h-pawn, black will have as compensation two linked passers on a+b with the king right next to them, vs white's knight all the way on h7.
      Something like...
      66. b3 Bf7 67. Nxg5 Bg8 68. Nf3 Ke4 69. h4 Bxb3 70. h5 Kd5 71. h6 Bc2 72. Ng5 Kc4 73. h7 Bxh7 74. Nxh7 Kxb4
      I think I like 65. Nb3, preparing Nc5. Black can't protect a6 fast enough, so white can break those pawns, abandon his pawns, and sacrifice his knight for the last black pawn, leaving Carlson's bishop to deal with the h-pawn. I think 65. Nb3 draws, so I feel like white blundered with either 65. Nf3+, or if that moves is ok certainly the pawn grab wasn't. The action is on the queenside and it will take too long for the knight to get there. Move 65 was a chance to get there quick enough to break the pawns.

    - When pawn is on H6, then bishop goes to H7!
    - Black is forced to move with King or Night and then is easy to win.

    11:32 F6 was possible. yes, but then magnus would just do Kc4. NxH5 then a3. whether white would take it or not won't really matter since either a or b pawn would be queen-ing. (both white's king and knight would be too far away to prevent it)
    the only way to draw the game was to stop black from queening by removing both pawn, not taking the bishop. (black bishop was just a distraction)

For a GM level, that was some pretty weak shit.
