How its a winning position for Black , had white moved king to e2 instead of f2?

[@user-pf3on2ks3b]

I am a chess beginner but I didn't understand why didn't Magnus take the pawn on d6 at 7:05

[@superhero5834]

He didn't want bassem's king to get into the middle and participate in the center game

[@kartikgamerz1548]

Fischer would have won this.

[@mehranrezaiemojaz6390]

Magnus liked to help him by draw,he's very kind and pitiful!

[@superhero5834]

No he didn't..he actually couldn't win.. it's obviously a draw.. Bassem had a good game

[@solobhakt]

Africa😂

[@NahinHassan-xt7ht]

At least he is better than your whole fuking generation.

[@heshaeza]

So what???
How many non african can draw with magnus?

[@kaneidareyue7715]

If he is an African, than the Russians are Asians.

[@gilgamesh8334]

@@heshaeza many lol just look at Russia, India etc

[@heshaeza]

@@gilgamesh8334
not many ... give me more than 10 names who drew with magnus.
you racism is blinding you to accept that Africans can be good in chess. this white cowboy mentality became too silly in 2024

[@kaneidareyue7715]

So Africa No. 1 is the same as Middle East No. 1? Be nice to see an actual African though. Just saying.

[@biohelloeri2671]

what's actual African though mate? Is it the skin?

[@kaneidareyue7715]

@@biohelloeri2671 Probably people of African descent.

[@uchihaskiller4933]

@@kaneidareyue7715 what an ignorance thinking begin afracin means having darker skin

[@kaneidareyue7715]

@@uchihaskiller4933 It just means been African. Those countries there are not Multi-Cultural. Most people on the continent of Africa are Africans. Middle East are Arabs. Asia are Asians, Indians / Pakistan are Indian looking people. You are the one who is Ignorant. Don't pretend those countries are Multi-Cultural like in the West.

[@biohelloeri2671]

How do you know he's not? I'm of African decent from ethiopia/eritrea- yet I'm way more lighter than most southern indians , note it's not about color; he could be of Amazigh or berbers decent - which are africans.

[@roboticduniya1731]

This game is a perfect example of the chess quote" White playing for draw is a crime...

[@superhero5834]

Well he didn't..he was actually brave though.. it's just the position they're put into
