Well I actually saw the initial bishop sac for Carlsen and I would have checkmated ....however I would not have got into that winning position in the first place hehehe. Once he missed his initial chance, the narrow path to a win was beyond a mere mortal and your name needs to be Stockfish. Thanks for the excellent analysis as always GM King. PowerPlay to 100k.
Great content. Thx I don’t play chess myself but I like watching it and it’s great that you show why obvious moves (for me) don’t work and show why 🥳👍🏻
Some excellent ideas in this game, way above my pay grade. However, in terms of the missed mate in 3. I have coined the phrase "Dagger Check" based on Brute stabbing Ceaser. A Dagger Check is a check on a square adjacent to the enemy king. I ALWAYS look at checks first, on every move, in this order. 1. Dagger Checks (D) 2. Checks that don't allow interpositions to block the check (W) 3. Checks that do allow interpositions(w) If I can't see a strong line then I look at moves that threaten a check on the next move. "Check in two" moves. I also use a coding system for mates. The missed mate in 3 would be DDW. Dagger check, Dagger Check, Check without interposition. So, the three moves to mate would be the first three moves I would look at. Clearly, looking at checks doesn't always lead to mate but when forced mates do exist I find this system works very well for me.
You don't look for a mate in 3 playing against Vidit. On the other hand, what a bold move if he purposely hung mate in 3 against Carlsen. I can't believe it, Vidit must have missed it too.
Great comunication. So elocuent and a pleasure to see those games. Need to add that should be great if when do you Talk about "often seen with cour reverse" (often by the way) just a second screen to show It would be much more ilustrative. Guess can be easy done...or not. Thanks again for your talking "tempo". Be well, be safe. Cheers
@@PowerPlayChess unfortunatly I can not at all, otherwise, as you can easily understand never would have the “ossady” of suggesting such a silly thing. A very innapropiate and rude answer that should has been avoided in my molesting opinion.
I'm not a big fan of Blitz, where you often just play on instinct, which Carlsen clearly did at the key moment. Of course, such games can be instructive and entertaining, even if they often don't reach the logical conclusion. I prefer a more sedate "blood pressure friendly" speed!
Is it nice to see that even world champions can overlook relatively simple wins? Not really. If I want to see missed wins, I only have to look at some of my own games. Of course you could argue that it's less painful to look at other people's failures. But I think it's so much nicer to see games where winning combinations are actually played, rather than found later, or possibly by computers in on-line commentaries. But with today's focus on faster time controls, I think we might be in danger that brilliant combinations are getting rarer. Anyway, rapid and blitz games and more frequent tournaments are NOT more entertaining. As far as entertainment goes, nothing beats long games, especially if the players aren't fatigued by having too tight schedules. For example World Championship matches should be every four years like the Olympic Games, the Football WC etc. The more frequently an event takes place, the less interesting it is.

Only DK can take a game that MC messed up big time and still find the silver-lining. Great variations! I found Qg8 but Qh7 was even more tricky.
bro you literally blunder mate by the fifth move. who you saying 'messed up'

You do look for checks and forcing moves, though
Just a brain fart
I spotted it instantly and I’m half his rating
Mr. King, subscriber request to cover some games from the ongoing WR masters. Nepo's win against Aronian looks particularly interesting!

Well...I am sure you can flip the board in your mind!

What a defence!
Well, I guessed 1 of the 3 thinks correctly (trying to solve them quickly as in a rapid play game).
I'm not a big fan of Blitz, where you often just play on instinct, which Carlsen clearly did at the key moment. Of course, such games can be instructive and entertaining, even if they often don't reach the logical conclusion. I prefer a more sedate "blood pressure friendly" speed!
I honestly suspect that Carlsen found the mate after he played qh7 which made him annoyed and unable to think properly for rest of the game
Great attack by Carlsen and after it faltereda great counter by Vidit. Thanks Daniel.
Carlsen is human! There’s hope for the rest of us.
Interesting attack. Shame Vidit's first win against Magnus was one he hung mate in 3. :)
Still the best. Two thumbs up!
bloody engines do you play acoustic?
Yes.
👏
In this Chess Engines age, GMs still play like humans. In the old times of Tal, he played like a computer!?
Carlsen is the goat, but how did he miss that! Wow.
Greatest grinder, maybe. Certainly not the greatest tactician.
