The bright smile of the opponent slowly disappeared the more the match progressed

right

[@amazingannyoing1716]

as a bad chess player, I've only just begun to realise how heavily defended every single place on the board is during early game. It's cool

[@leerobbo92]

You'll start to notice it in middlegames too. And when a piece isn't defended, look out for tactical defences like pins. I'm still learning too, but that's where I feel like I'm starting to appreciate GM games more now. They simply won't make a move that weakens their position unless they absolutely have to or there's a massive attack brewing.

That’s the thing about playing against Magnus. You think you’re doing well and then all of a sudden you’re down a piece lol.

[@musikfranc]

Playing against him is a "domino effect" you think you win then suddently everything falls appart and you lose, because he destroy everything you have one piece at a time without the opponent realising what's going on until it's too late to recover

Starting rain at the end :)
