Ok here we are, we are in the semifinal of the Speed Chess Championship tournament and Wesley So and Magnus Carlsen face each other
In this game, Carlsen is scared
So plays with the white pieces and opens with pawn b3
Ninzo Larsen opens, Carlsen responds with e5
He follows with bishop b2, knight c6, Carlsen defends the pawn with the knight
e3 pawn, the idea of the white here is to play d4 or moves like bishop b5
Carlsen continues with knight f6 and develops the other knight
So plays bishop b5, he wants to capture the knight in c6 and capture the pawn in e5
Carlsen defends with bishop
This move may seem strange, but in fact it is a theoretical move, the bishop defends the pawn in e5
So develops the knight in a3, look what a strange move, yet this is also theoretical
As you can see, the theory of openings makes it the boss
And Carlsen even jumps with the knight in a5, this is also a move from the book
We get an unusual position
The idea of knight a3 is to push the pawn in c4
Instead Carlsen jumps in a5 so as not to be captured
So withdraws the bishop in e2, all theory
And Carlsen plays pawn a6, incredible
Pawn c4 comes from So
Carlsen rocks, plays the best move
So withdraws the knight in c2, again plays the best move and prepares to push the pawn in d3 or d4
Carlsen plays rook e8, the first choice of the engine, look what a game
So plays pawn d3 and Carlsen finally, when we are at move number 9
Decides to get out of the main lines and plays pawn c5
This move is even marked as an error, but in fact the position remains even
It is not a move that compromises the position, the white may start to be slightly better, but it is not wrong
So plays pawn g4, mamma mia what a game
Even Wesley So is playing very well, the best move as you can see
Carlsen withdraws the tower in f8, oh my god what's going on
Yet this is the best move, well in reality the white is threatening to play g5 pawn
To attack the knight and therefore Carlsen is simply giving a house to the knight
Or the house e8, So pushes the pawn, the knight goes in e8 and So plays knight f3
Here, from here on, Wesley So begins to make some mistakes
Also because the position is very complicated, the game is a blitz game, more increment
It is not that they can play the best moves for the whole game
Carlsen continues with knight c6, centralizes the knight, So plays tower g1
He tries to set up an attack, but he has to be very careful because the king remains in the center for now
It is very difficult to play here
Carlsen continues with bishop c7, he wants to come and give check in a5
To move the king so as not to allow him to rook anymore
And So pushes the pawn in e4, closes the center
He follows bishop a5 check, king f1 and pawn d6
Ok, how can we evaluate this position?
Surely the black is a little better, even if Carlsen made an imprecision here
However, the black has the king safe, while the king of white is not only not safe
But it does not allow the pieces to communicate
He follows tower g3 for So, he plays the best move, he wants to make a sort of artificial rook
Carlsen continues with knight c7, he wants to bring the knight to e6 and then jump to f4 or d4
He follows knight e3 for Wesley So, he also wants to jump to d5
Carlsen continues with knight e6, knight d5 and knight e7
Carlsen wants to get rid of the knight from d5
So plays pawn h4, takes space on the king's side, defends the pawn in g5
And tries to attack, even if it is really difficult to attack when you yourself have the king in danger
Carlsen captures in d5, after pawn for d5 plays knight f4
The knight in f4 is a very strong piece, it is an untouchable piece
Look how beautiful, f4 is a forward
And in fact Wesley So immediately worries and tries to get rid of that knight
He attacks him with the bishop
But Carlsen does not worry and plays pawn f5
With this move, his idea is to open the f column and start attacking the king
In fact, here the king is already under attack, with an x-ray from the tower
But if the position begins to open further, this king in f1 is really at risk
Wesley So immediately worries and plays king g1
Carlsen captures in e4, follows pawn for e4 and alpha king d7
Very simple
Now that Carlsen has opened the f column
He wants to simply activate all the pieces and place them on the f column to attack
And this plan can not be avoided
Wesley So must look for counterplay
He plays bishop e3, meanwhile he tries to put the other tower in play
Carlsen continues with bishop c3, look what a nice idea this
He attacks the tower and gains time
And after c1 tower plays bishop d4
The bishop in d4 is a monster
Because the problem here is that if the white should capture this bishop
He would follow, for example, pawn for and the black would get a passed pawn
This is Carlsen's idea
So withdraws the bishop in f1
Carlsen plays queen in e7, connects the towers
So he is ready to double the towers
So captures the bishop in d4
We have just said that this is a mistake
This is a serious mistake
Because after pawn for, the pawn in d4 is very strong
But not only in this position
The white has the bishop under attack, but also the pawn in e4 is under attack
So here So has lost the game
He plays bishop for f4, so the best move
Carlsen captures the towers, increases the pressure on the pawn in e4
So plays queen h5, looks for counterplay
And Carlsen simply plays f8
Threatens the pawn in f2, threatens the pawn in e4
So he follows the bishop d3
So defends at least the pawn in e4
And Carlsen continues with queen e5
He still plays the first choice of the monster engine
He is in no hurry to capture in f2
Now he threatens to capture in f2
So the tower remains exposed in g3
And then he follows the queen for towers
So So in this position decides to play g2
Which is also the best move
But immediately after playing it, he abandons it
I don't know, Carlsen is simply too strong
Especially when the position is closed
We can say that in closed positions it is unbeatable
Why does white abandon?
White abandons because here the whole position collapses
For example, queen e8, the queen attacks the queen
The queen has to move somewhere
So queen d1 arrives, tower for pawn in h4
And here the whole position collapses
Now Carlsen will play the final
I don't know if against Nakamura or Vassiela Graff
Because I saw Nakamura in trouble
But you never know because he is very strong in bullets
That's all for this video
