    It's interesting how similar Magnus is to Bobby Fischer. Both players were just so dominant and far ahead of everyone else during their time periods that they stopped trying to defend their world titles, both had similar complaints about the game of chess and the world championship format, and both continued to enjoy the game via alternate formats (like Fischer random) Bobby Fischer was even known to play bad openings/troll openings on purpose to give himself a challenge.

    That's a heck of a gambit. All you can do is smile. Magnus makes a mockery of the principles chess teachers teach. It's like watching a fencer who is so good they just dance and prance around their expert opponent, who must feel like their feet are mired in mud. Zorro on a chessboard.🙂

    At 13:32 after the check by Magnus white bishop blocking saves the game for white. This is since if black queen takes bishop then white queen blocks the check forcing the queen trade and the white rook picks up the center pawn. If black knight takes bishop then white queen takes pawn putting black into check.

    New chess move idea: "Crowning" (you switch positions with your queen & king, with similar rules as castling - can't be in check or put into check, neither piece has moved yet, etc.)
    It may not do much in terms of advantage (& loses castling privilege), but it can change openings & midgames, is inspired by the Carlsen Gambit, & finally adds a new move to the game. Also, both sides queens & rooks can easily attack the other sides king in the center.

    6:00 I think White has a great sacrifice attack with Nf6+!! g×Nf6 g×f6+. If Kf8 then Qh6+ Ng7 Q×Ng7#. If Kh8 then Qh6#. Black's only safe move is Kh7. He's still pretty exposed, and White can double up Rooks on the g-file and probably win eventually.
