    KG was considered unsound opening already 80 years ago. Keres played it against Alekhine in 1942 Salzburg second round game. He needed to win in order to win the tournament, hoped to surprise World Champion. Well, he failed.
    Alekhine kept his cool, kept his extra pawn until very end and converted it to win.
    Sure, from time to time it had some surprise elements notably Fischer fell into this hellhole against Spassky. Spassky knew KG traps and lines better and totally destroyed young Fischer position in 29 moves. Bobby was furious because before the game he had said something not flattering about stupid players who still are trying to surprise his opponents with KG and after the painful loss he felt like an idiot. Spassky was generally considered as gentleman in chess but when he had a chance, he humiliated his opponent on chess board viciously..

    I’m American but I’ve always preferred Magnus over any Americans he plays in the big leagues :)
    I’ve enjoyed watching Naka sometimes buts he’s always kinda rubbed me the wrong way.

      Bruh, although I'm already watching it but seeing this type of comments makes my brain looks stupid and dumber. I'm trying to learn this kind of "3 steps ahead" stuff to beat my professor lmao.
