It would allow Bxc5, followed by b4, anchoring the Bishop on an extremely dominant square where it can't be challenged by any pawns. Magnus would have to trade it for the knight, which is his only good piece, or alternatively his other rook. That's how I see it at least.
They mean the knight on F4. Magnus could have moved his rook out of danger by taking the knight. Looks like blitz tunnel vision to me, he must have thought it was guarded.
Towards the end of the game Hikaru computer was reconnecting on his stream freaked him out but in the end could of been worse. Move 48 when it started to reconnect. mag had 52 secs and hikaru had 46.
Magnus made so many blunders. 6:13seconds he should have moved his knight to a3. This forces his castle to move and he wins a horse with his queen. Also 4:00 he could have simply killed the horse with his castle and not it the way he did? I don’t get why a grand master like him doesn’t see those easy plays?
@@redeyexxx1841 basically this entire year. up until scc magnus hadn't beaten hikaru at all and hikaru had several wins over magnus with the rest being draws. I don't think there's enough there to mean a whole lot but it certainly has been for longer than just the scc at this point
Plugged it into analysis. Apparently Queen takes bishop is better than rook takes knight. When I took the knight the eval dropped by ~ 2 points. After rook takes knight, bishop takes pawn and over the next 10--20 moves your defense in front of your king falls apart.
