      The rook sac was a necessary insurance to allow the bigger play, which was the N trap. People say MC missed the mate, and yes he did but that mate was too boring compared to what he did.

    Chess players are people who literally see into the future. They’re calculating almost every possible move not only they can make but anything you can respond with. The best chess players are those who can maneuver around the board making you think you have the upper hand, all in the while they’ve seen all those possibilities and made you fall into their trap.

    • @Ak-pr1wg
      @Ak-pr1wg Год назад +1

      Smother mate : that combo where you sac the queen to checkmate with a knight.
      Fischer Random: Bobby Fischer said that as chess starts with a basic position - it will always have particular openings. So....... Let's start with a random position everytime, so we can force the players to actually think & not work off of experience/muscle memory.
      This was a smother mater out of a random starting setup.
      You cannot prepare for a random start setup

    • @corex6109
      @corex6109 Год назад

      @@Ak-pr1wg Your explanation isn't quiet precise / can be missinterpreted.
      A smothered mate doesn't require one to sac a queen, it's simply a checkmate delivered by a knight in which the mated king is unable to move because it is mostly (or completely) surrounded by its own pieces.
      Fisher random chess (also known as Chess960) does start from a random position, but it's not an arbitrary one, i.e. there is a set of 960 predefined starting positions. These 960 variations come from shuffling the pieces from white's first rank (following a few rules) and mirroring that position for black.
      Also it's not entirely true that one can't prepare for a random starting setup. Yes, you obviously won't be able to plan exact moves, but you will be able to develop a few strategies depending on how the pieces are positioned relative to each other, but I agree that it's definetly much less of an aid than for normal chess.

He then used the queen to attack the king, and with a combination of moves forces the opponent's king to get trapped by his own pieces by sacrificing his queen and then attacks the king with his knight, meaning checkmate since the king can't go anywhere and it's in check.

      ​​​​​​@@apelnam because there's an alternative scenario when the king is checked by the black knight instead of moving the king away, rook could take and the best move for white is to move queen to backrank check, rook is the only way to defend, queen takes rook and mate. That scenario could be the only way white could have survived if white knight stayed instead of taking the rook. So Magnus eliminated that possibility before it became a reality
