Sounds like Stockfish hitting on Leela. "Hey baby, has anyone ever told you that you are an excellent winner of endgames with opposite color bishops where you are up the exchange?"
this might sound like a dumb question but it´s been a while since i had chess in school: it is 50 moves after the last pawn move/last pawn being captured right?
Inhuman Performance. Having the chance watching Carlsen live just makes me happy. And in addition to that knowing that after the game youll get a great commentary makes me even more thankful. What a time to be alive!

Actually it's a completely winning position, ad carlsen himself said in an interview. But converting it is a great achievement and I think many gms can
@@rogerfedererc5315 I think it's hard to calculate that that position is winning, even if you're a super GM. Until he was up the exchange there were great draw odds for white with the equal material and having a much better pawn structure (2 islands vs 3, f2+g2+h2). Then when he finally created winning chances there's the ancient wisdom from Sun Tzu "One may know how to conquer without being able to do it." Plenty of theoretically winning positions that end in a draw because it's only 0
Very nice line. I missed Bd3+ when I was watching. I think agad missed that too. However, I think there's an other reason Kg2 doesen't work. I dont think magnus would miss that move. He was sure this was winning.
I just checked in lichess. After Kh1, black just start moving his king all the way around to the right side of the board, 25 moves later it will be checkmate. If both players play it optimally, it will be like this: 1. Kh1 Kb4 2. Bd3 Kc5 3. Ba6 Kd5 4. Nc3+ Kd4 5. Ne2+ Ke5 6. Bd3 Ba7 7. Bb5 Kf5 8. Bd7+ Kg5 9. Bb5 Bb6 10. Bd3 Kg4 11. Bc4 Ba5 12. Bb5 Bb4 13. Bd3 Kf3 14. Bc4 Ke3 15. Ng3 Bd6 16. Ne2 Rh2+ 17. Kg1 Rh4 18. Ba6 Ra4 19. Bb5 Rb4 20. Ba6 Kf3 21. Nc3 Be5 22. Be2+ Kg3 23. Nd1 Rf4 24. Ne3 Bd4 25. Kh1 Bxe3 26. Bd1 Rf1#
This would've worked, but ironically enough white king is in stalemate. Black doesn't need to take the knight and can just move his king or bishop around till white has no moves and there is a mate where white pieces don't control because they moved. Probably checkmate in around 20+ moves.
@@TheRaven123 Its actually mate in 40, according to the tablebases. You want to use tablebases when analyzing endgames like this. They are much more reliable then engines when it comes to endgames. But it would require losing a piece after the 24th move of that line, so therefore it wouldnt draw. Still, It would require Magnus to play super precisely, which he wasn't doing previously. According to the tablebases this was whites best bet. Here is the line that they give until the piece is lost 1.Kh1 Ba7 2. Bb7 Rf7 3. Ba6+ Kd5 4.Kg2 Ke4 5.Ng3+ Kf4 6.Nf1 Rg7+ 7. Kh3 Kf3 8.Nh2+ Ke3 9. Bc4 Bc5 10. Bd5 Bd6 11.Ng4+ Kf4 12.Be6 Bc5 13.Kg2 Bd4 14. Kh3 Re7 15. Bc8 Re1 16. Bd7 Rc1 17. Kg2 Rg1+ 18.Kh2 Rg3 19. Be6 Ba7 20. Nf6 Rg5 21.Bf7 Rf5 22. Nh5+ Kg5 23. Be6 Rf2+ 24. Kg3 Kxh5 Straightforward victory from there, but if magnus wasnt being percise in that line, sometimes it would have set him back 15 moves, which would have been enough to draw.
@@andrewptob Before the two games of Grenke chess, he won against Anand, Grischuk, Karjakin at Gashimov memorial. Those 3 games were definitely not against lower rated opponents.

It was crazy man I was watching the livestream but I gave up halfway, went to do something and when I came back they were still playing! The Magnus Massage really works wonders
15:17 after Kh1 taking the knight would actually be a huge blunder as Bd3+ would lead you to loose the rook or stalemate if you take the bishop. The general idea would be to bring the king over and at some point mate would only be avoidable by giving up material.
Antonio, thank you for another great video. I have a #suggestion that maybe someone else has made before but I missed it, not for a particular game to cover but for some more information it would be nice to add to the video. It would be a good addition to have somewhere on the screen the date on which the game was played (or an approximate date if the exact date is not known), and also which type of time control was used and what the ELO ratings of the players for that kind of time control are before the game is played, as well as their current rankings, near their photos. Thanks again for your interesting videos!
When I opened chess24 site, I was feeling sleepy and saw Carlsen was slightly better (at move 57). I saw the rest of the game and thanked God for not falling asleep
you should watch banter blitz with magnus against chess24 users... This guy is phenomenal. He rattles down the next 5 to 10 moves of his opponent with ease after he moved his piece, still goes like "but what do I know?" Opponent does exactly the moves he expected and he goes like: yeah I think I'm winning the game now. 😂
Hey guys, I am new to chess. Just wondering how is the move at 6:20 is possible. The black king(g5) got check by the white pawn on f4. How is the black pawn on g4 captures the white pawn on f4??
Herkus Žilaitis If a pawn is moved two squares on its first move and placed adjacent to an opposing pawn (side by side) the opponent can capture using a move called en passant. This can only be done immediately following the pawns two square movement and places the pawn behind the pawn it just captured.
At 9:45 you can't capture the g3 pawn as white, because checking with the knight and rook h2 after that is mate and you would need to give up the exchange by capturing the knight. It would be almost the same endgame as in the game.
At 15:28, I don't get why Kf1 was not answered by Pons, it seems to me that it allows the white king to go back to the bottom right corner which is white so safe if I did understand well. And as white pieces are on white squares you don't risk any tricky discovery check. Does anyone know why am I wrong ?
These Carlsson game reports are all like old episodes of some cartoon, such as He-man and the Masters of the Universe. Whatever complications may arise, the winner will always be the same at the end of each episode. To overextend the analogy, any talk of Carlsson making a move and having a ”very nice idea” is roughly the equivalent of He-Man unsheathing his sword and shouting ”I have the power!”
9:36 instead of BC6, NxG3, this was last chance for draw imo, and after NF4 rook capture knight, bishop capture rook, and you have fork NH5, exchange knight for bishop and stay with bishop against rook which is draw... aternatively, after NxG3 pinning the knight with RA3 does not works so... feel free to pause video and who knows :)
@@MaximGusev11 jan gustaffson showed him a computer line, that would have given him a way faster win, on which magnus replied: "shit, that would have saved me a lot of time"
15:16 Rf2+ should NOT be followed by Rxe2 as it would be stalemate if the king is on h1 ( Rf2+ Kh1, Rxe2 Bd3+! and now you either take the B and it's stalemate or you move the king and the B will take the R resulting in a draw due to insufficient material). I know that Kg2 is losing but I do not know exactly how.
And at 15:15, after Rf8+, you can go Kg2, because there is a nice stalemate defence, Rf2+, Kh1! and if now black takes the knight with Rxe2, there is Bd3+
I have seen a few times here, please be nice... move 11 after Carlson plays d5, how does e5 capture d5 to d6? I have seen this happen a couple times in the videos and it never makes sense to me can someone explain?
@@sverres2400 very nice. I figured it had to do with a rule I didn't understand. I just stumbled upon these videos one day and started watching them. Then I saw this and was like "What the hell?"
If I can clearify the question about the number of moves. In all positions, without the exception, you have only 50 moves to deliver mate (If there is no capture and no pawn moves). But, after 50 moves, your oponnent needs to claim a draw. If he doesn't claim, the game continues and after 75 moves the arbiter must stop the game and declare a draw. Of course, at any moment, between moves 50 and 75 the oponnent can wake up and claim a draw. These are the rules and that is why Carlsen might have been confused whether it is 50 or 75 moves
Maybe I'm not that great at chess but I'm struggling to see how the pawns moving diagonally captures the pawn that's next to it for example the f4 move by pons, Carl's on captures it by playing pawn diagonally to f3. Is anyone able to explain this to me?
10:14 why can't you go there? If the pawn queens then knight h5 check with discovered attack on the queen, king's move can't pressure the knight because rook controls g file.
At 18:00 why didnt white force a stalemate by putting his bishop infront of the rook and keep gaurding the diagonal with the knight until the bishop takes it
So in such endgame with opposite color bishop and down exchange, White is objectively lost? What did the engines say from the first position where it was just 4 pieces left? Even if lost, maybe it takes more than 50 moves with best play? Surely paco could have made it much harder and even gone 50 moves(so drawn with best play according to tournament rules?)? Why was it so easy for Carlsen to drive the white King to white bishops corner? Couldn't he have stayed on the bottom right side of the board? To get mated he has to go to dark square corner for bishop to check right?
In the final minutes of the game, white's Kd2 in response to Bf2 was a mistake. He should move away from black's king to avoid giving black more chances for a checkmate. But I think bishop-rook will still win over bishop-knight.
At 6:18 how did Carlsen capture Paco's F4 pawn? Can't pawns only capture diagonally? If so then forget capturing the F4 pawn, Carlsen's pawn shouldn't even be able to move diagonally. Someone please enlighten me.

I have a question guys. At 12:44, the position would allow Carlsen to play f2, forking the bishop and knight. Why did he not do this?
15:16 Rf2+ should NOT be followed by Rxe2 as it would be stalemate if the king is on h1 ( Rf2+ Kh1, Rxe2 Bd3+! and now you either take the B and it's stalemate or you move the king and the B will take the R resulting in a draw due to insufficient material).
I know that Kg2 is losing but I do not know exactly how.
Kg2 immediately loses to Rf4, which opens up a discovered attack. White can only do Bd4 og Ng3, which would both follow checkmate in 25. One variation: 1. Kh1 Kb4 2. Bd3 Kc5 3. Ba6 Kd5 4. Nc3+ Kd4 5. Ne2+ Ke5 6. Bd3 Ba7 7. Bb5 Kf5 8. Bd7+ Kg5 9. Bb5 Bb6 10. Bd3 Kg4 11. Bc4 Ba5 12. Bb5 Bb4 13. Bd3 Kf3 14. Bc4 Ke3 15. Ng3 Bd6 16. Ne2 Rh2+ 17. Kg1 Rh4 18. Ba6 Ra4 19. Bb5 Rb4 20. Ba6 Kf3 21.

And at 15:15, after Rf8+, you can go Kg2, because there is a nice stalemate defence, Rf2+, Kh1! and if now black takes the knight with Rxe2, there is Bd3+

I have seen a few times here, please be nice... move 11 after Carlson plays d5, how does e5 capture d5 to d6? I have seen this happen a couple times in the videos and it never makes sense to me can someone explain?
Can somebody explaine to me why the pawn capture on 6:17 is allowed?
5:55 pawn to f4 or f3? I'm very confused what happened afterwards
I was also confused by that, but i searched it up. Look up the chess move "en passant" and you'll find the answer. A move i never knew was possible
@@sverres2400 very nice. I figured it had to do with a rule I didn't understand. I just stumbled upon these videos one day and started watching them. Then I saw this and was like "What the hell?"
Love the intense footage
That's a pretty impressive work ethic, Antonio.
If I can clearify the question about the number of moves. In all positions, without the exception, you have only 50 moves to deliver mate (If there is no capture and no pawn moves). But, after 50 moves, your oponnent needs to claim a draw. If he doesn't claim, the game continues and after 75 moves the arbiter must stop the game and declare a draw. Of course, at any moment, between moves 50 and 75 the oponnent can wake up and claim a draw. These are the rules and that is why Carlsen might have been confused whether it is 50 or 75 moves
Maybe I'm not that great at chess but I'm struggling to see how the pawns moving diagonally captures the pawn that's next to it for example the f4 move by pons, Carl's on captures it by playing pawn diagonally to f3. Is anyone able to explain this to me?
10:14 why can't you go there? If the pawn queens then knight h5 check with discovered attack on the queen, king's move can't pressure the knight because rook controls g file.
im a little confused....how does G4 Capture F4? did i miss something @6:21
en passant, although it would end up being gxf3 in the notation
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_passant
4:14 "..as it is protected by the bishop" draws arrow from knight "and by the knight" draws arrow from the bishop
6:18 how come did he capture the pawn?
I like an endgame that doesnt get simplified too fast, more pieces to take into account make it more interesting!
2:30 can someone explain me how did pawn e5 capture pawn d5?
Maciek its called en passant, google it
At 18:00 why didnt white force a stalemate by putting his bishop infront of the rook and keep gaurding the diagonal with the knight until the bishop takes it
So in such endgame with opposite color bishop and down exchange, White is objectively lost? What did the engines say from the first position where it was just 4 pieces left? Even if lost, maybe it takes more than 50 moves with best play? Surely paco could have made it much harder and even gone 50 moves(so drawn with best play according to tournament rules?)?
Why was it so easy for Carlsen to drive the white King to white bishops corner? Couldn't he have stayed on the bottom right side of the board? To get mated he has to go to dark square corner for bishop to check right?
What happen around 6:10 - 6:25? Different positions and shit?
At 2.33 how come the pawn moves like that? Pawn only can capture in diagonal right?and the black pawn was beside the white pawn so how come?
In the final minutes of the game, white's Kd2 in response to Bf2 was a mistake. He should move away from black's king to avoid giving black more chances for a checkmate. But I think bishop-rook will still win over bishop-knight.
Why didn't Carlsen go for e7 at 8:16 ? Can someone tell me please...
At 6:18 how did Carlsen capture Paco's F4 pawn? Can't pawns only capture diagonally? If so then forget capturing the F4 pawn, Carlsen's pawn shouldn't even be able to move diagonally. Someone please enlighten me.
It's called en passant, if a pawn moves 2 squares ending up next to an enemy pawn it can be captured as if it moved 1 square
@@massivednegelhere6887 okk. thanks. i did not know that. By the way if you play on chess.com is that a legal move, ie: is it allowed on chess.com?
