So Rupex roof is plain by Magnus Knight takes, and now I would like you to pause this video and think what is this amazing move that Magnus came up with? It’s really a very little move, but a very power packed one. And I’m really amazed with this next move that Magnus something, oh, queen d 6 now flies. This moves so powerful.
C, firstly, the knights cannot move. C four is falling. This night actually is run out of squares. If you go to C3, it blocks the Queen’s path here. And if you move the queen to defend this night, then the EFI night falls. So actually this move, little queen T6 move has put wide under so many, so much trouble. You can see Levan’s time right now is 43 minutes. He’s thinking about what to do. But it’s not so simple, this plan. But there is a possibility, you know, you can actually play. And now his time is down to 26 minute. You can play a move like H3 and it might seem very foolish. What are you doing? Aren’t you simply dropping the night here? But the point is, after, let’s say h 3, queen takes b 1, queen b 8, check PNG 7, and then queen takes a 7, attacks the night and also the f 7 pawn. So that gives white a clearly winning advantage here.
So that’s the reason why actually Magnus move does not have a threat as yet here. He doesn’t have a threat to take, but it’s still something, you know, you’re putting pressure here. You’re making your opponent react. Also, when you are facing Magnus, you are a bit stressed out. So Levon taking his time and now I think finally he has to make a move. Was he has to play on the 15 moves in the next 26 minutes, which is not so simple.
The real option really looks like, you know, making some kind of an improving extra HD. And his point is, if you take here on B1, I’m going to take the night on F6, Magnus returns to his chair and is thinking whether he should take the night or not. But isn’t that losing a bond? Yes, he takes so windy one. For now, Levan must take the night on F6. He does so, but now c 4 pond, this is falling. Still the reason why Levon went into this variation. Magnus takes it. He takes the pawn. Even this variation is hoping that he can somehow launch an attack against these ponds with Nike 5. Perhaps he plays E4 first. Well, it is important because if you went night GIF, I check first. Of course, Quindi 7 is possible, but so is Quindi Fi check. And so with E4, he has stopped the queen from coming year. And now Magnus plays another brilliant move. What a move. This is so good. He’s attacking this pawn, windy 3. And it’s these little moves which make it so difficult to beat him. The screen is very well placed. It’s looking at the pond. It’s also, you know, just around the whites position, white Cam. And here, Lewan Punsulai now looking to move his knight. He plays his knight to g 5 and he tells Magnus that your f 7 pawn is weak. I’m gonna take it.
And now Magnus brings his queen back and defends the pawn on f 7. Yes, white is active for the time being, but you can always push the night back with H6 later. You can get your night out from C4 and start pushing your pawn down the board H4 plane. And I think it’s time to get the night off.
Magnus taking his time. He has 34 minutes. His opponent is down to 22 minutes. But here, Magnus thinks for a full fifth, 15 minutes on the clock, is down to 19 and plays at 6. So a move like H6 is a big responsibility. Why? Because the king side has become even more soft. But with accurate calculation, you can take those decisions. Queen c 6 played attacking once again the pawn on e 4. And there’s no real great way to save it if you play Queen of four, there’s 96. And he plays his pawn up to h 5. He sacrificed another pawn. You could see Levin just taking a glance at Magnus. What’s your intention here? You know, one of the things with Magnus is that he never gets intimidated. He takes the pawn and he tells Levon, prove your compensation. Why have you given me the pawn? H tips on g 6. And now of course, Magnus shouldn’t take with the pawn as it creates more weaknesses. But he can take with the queen. Yes, he takes with the queen. And of course, you can’t trade the Queens because in the night and game, you are, oh, not just one, but couple of points down.
Position is far from over, mainly because the white queen is very active and also the king is well defended. On g 2, queen comes back to f 4 looking at the h 6 pawn and also at the b 8 square queen to d 3. And here the best move is to simply chop off this pawn on age 6 somehow after queen at 6, queen at 5, Black is in the game. You know, there’s no problem here. I mean, white is in the game after queen at 6, but he goes queen b 8, which is a big blunder. It’s a big mistake. Now, the reason why this is a mistake, you will understand that although white is going to gain back one pawn here, which is an important pawn, what he is losing is Kenji 7. What he is losing is not after queen a 7. His queen is completely out of the game. And Magnus now is having a great move up his sleeve, which is. tumis is good luck naik now. So very nice position host ny luki this love if you going on that is quick to f dan kunci dome. If you go enggak. H 2, then again there are problems like for example, queen f 1 or even queen 2. These are the problems there. So the only way to remain in the game is to actually pick up the night, and which he does. He takes the night. Magnus goes in with a check.
Now, look at Magnus’s calculation. This is very important and very beautiful. I’m not going to make the moves the boat, but this is something that he has calculated already. King H3, queen f 3. And the question is, why can’t you simply take this gone the moment you take this pawn? Black user check, king has to come up F1 check king has to go to F4 and Queenie for mate. So this is the kind of calculation which makes these long term plans work. It’s these short calculations which are always difficult. So this pond cannot be one. And then you can try and push it down towards becoming a queen. He goes a 4 Magnus gives a check in g 4. And now you want to play f 5 and mate him because king f further is we need 4. However, this pawn is pinned so you can’t push it. He gives a check again, a nice move, forcing him back and Magnus gets up from his chair because it was the 40th move. And generally on the 40th move, you really want to get up, get some refreshments, eat something, go to the washroom. But because Levin made his move very quickly, Magnus had to do it in his on time. He pushes his pawn to c 4. Now you’ll see that the clock hasn’t added 30 minutes. That’s because the clock will first run down to zero and then the 30 minutes will be added. That’s how the rule is. Queen goes to sea 7. The queen is still pinning the pawn, so there’s no mating net as such. But now you can go King g 6 with the idea of check and fi. Yes, he plays King Ji. Sakes. Brilliant chess by Magnus Carlson. He gets up from the chair just like his opponent. Actually, Magnus gets up from his chair in confidence, while his opponent, Levan Pansulai, I think is getting up more from the fact that he hopes that this game ends very soon now. So Magnus is in complete control. There are no checks in the position. Queen H1 and F5 are the biggest that Levon comes back and he must see what he plays.
King H2 played by 11. And now Magnus can actually give a check here and shop this pawn. He does it. He gives a check. This would be an extra pound. Now he would be two pawns up. King h 3 and take the pawn on air for Magnus, making sure his final calculations in order. He takes on a 4. And against Magnus, such a position is hopeless against any top player, but more so against Magnus because he’s just so good at converting minute advantages. And here you have.
