Hello everyone and welcome to this new video
Today we see a spectacular match played between the number one in the world Magnus Carlsen
and Vincent Keimer, young German talent who is often paired with Bobby Fischer
He is certainly one of the favorites to become world champion in the future
but in my opinion they have little in common with Fischer
This match lasts only 29 moves, it is a very significant match, now we'll see what I mean by that

Ok here we are, Carlsen plays with the white pieces and opens with Qe4
Keimer responds with c5 Sicilian defense
He follows with Kf3 Sicilian open, d6 for Keimer, Carlsen pushes to the center, Qd4
He follows Qd4, Kd4, Kf6, Keimer attacks the pawn in e4, Carlsen defends it with Qc3 and Keimer plays Qa6
Let's go back to the Nidorf variant of the Sicilian
An excellent opening for sure, but be careful, here we are only at the 5th move
and today almost everyone continues with Qe3 or at the limit Qc5, but not Carlsen
Carlsen plays the 5th most played move, therefore a lower variant, that is Qc4
Keimer responds with Qe6, plays the best move, limits the movements of the pawn
Carlsen raises the pawn in a4, prevents b5 and Keimer continues with Qe7, he prepares to rook
Here both put the king for sure with the rook, for now Keimer is playing very well
but it is also true that we are only at the 8th move and Keimer still has a 2717, super great master, very talented, one of the strongest in the world
Carlsen continues with Qe3, you see a very simple development move, Carlsen does not try to overdo it in this game, he is simply developing the pieces
Keimer plays Qc7, attacks the rook in c4, Carlsen defends it with Qe2 and connects the towers, so he finished the development
and Keimer when we are at the 10th move, leaves the theory with the move Qd7, however this is a playable move that does not compromise the position
but to play Qd7 Keimer takes more than 15 minutes, this fact sends a message to Carlsen, that is, I'm out of theory here, I don't know what to do anymore, I'm out of theory, I play Qd7
Carlsen knows it, he is aware, Carlsen continues with Qa5, controls the b6 house, in the future he wants to play Qb6 to attack the queen, but immediately he is not threatening anything
so this is also a normal move, and well in this position Keimer, after thinking about it for 22 minutes, makes a mistake, a serious mistake, he plays Ng4
when we are still in the opening, we are still at the 11th move, that is, Keimer is considered as the new Bobby Fischer, and in the opening at the 11th move he doesn't know what to do anymore
Guys, I think that professional chess players at the moment are too tied to theory, too much to the opening, and this in my opinion can become a big problem, because you can't go wrong in this way in a game for a long time
with Nf5 he is attacking the bishop in e7, but he also has a beautiful plan in mind, a plan that Keimer also sees, in fact Keimer does not capture the knight, he plays Nf6, but if the black tries to capture the knight, look what happens
Because he clearly has to defend the knight in g4, so Ne5 saves the knight, Carlsen continues with Nd1, places the tower on the half-open column, attacks the pawn in d6, and Keimer retreats the bishop in d8
In short, a disastrous position here in my opinion, he retreats the bishop because he wants to try to change the pieces, but the position of the black is too passive, too many pieces in the 8th row
Carlsen instead pushes in f4, attacks the knight, the knight retreats in g6, and follows f5
He decides to capture the bishop in b6, Carlsen captures the pawn, follows the knight in d4, the tower in d4, the queen in c5
In short, Keimer tries to simplify the position, changes a couple of pieces, nails the tower, attacks the king in gx, Carlsen immediately breaks it with the queen in f2, Keimer captures in f5, follows the pawn in f5, the bishop in c6
Now Keimer wants to play knight d7, knight f6, but it is not enough, it is too far back with the development, Carlsen simply pushes the pawn in f6, threatens to capture in g7, and on the g6 pawn threatens to enter and give a crazy run
In short, Keimer could very well give up in this position, however he decides to play, he plays f5, f5 wants to limit the attack of the white, yet f5 is a serious mistake because the king is more and more exposed
Carlsen captures the bishop in c6, and after the queen in c6, he plays d1 tower, he also activates the last piece, he is attacking the pawn in d6, Keimer instead captures the pawn in b6, and Carlsen plays knight d5, he attacks the queen
After the queen in d8, this is Keimer's final mistake, Carlsen plays knight f4, threatens to jump in e6 to give the triple to the king, queen and tower and to gain a piece, but he does not only threaten this, he is also threatening the pawn in d6
This was a game not worthy of a great maestro, Keimer here seemed a normal maestro
