whenever i'm asked to identify the next move, i immediately search for sacrifices lol

[Emforlife]

If i'm ever sitting in front of Magnus and he sacrificed his queen i'mma resign immediately acting like i understand how that move would win him the game.

[DenizCDemir]

I also sacrifice a lot of pieces. With no follow-up whatsoever.

Carlsen on last game: *Call an ambulance, but not for me.*

[shahvez.]

Game #5 against Karjakin:
Karjakin: “It’s about to be checkmate!”
Carlsen: “Yes, yes it is”

[lavaforevah]

Magnus:*plays a move that makes no sense at first glance*
Opponent:hah I got your queen
Magnus:hah I got the game, your house, your credit card and all your friends >:)

[Yeah_Whocares]

I really don't know how Carlsen's opponents don't flip over the board out of frustration. That last one would've had me sitting in that chair for hours questioning my life, my career, and piecing together how and why God hates me.

I found 3 of the 5, but I was only able to do that because I was anticipating some sort of crazy sacrifice each time. The fact that Magnus finds these mid game amazes me

When I know there is a winning move, I can spot it, but I never know when there is a winning move

[lavaforevah]

Queen:I am the most powerful and second important piece on the whole bo-
Magnus:bla bla blabbity bla your getting killed within my first 10 moves so I can win

[garrettyatteau]

He missed his most brilliant move of all time: 1.e4.

[gentelmanfrog]

When you found every move: I am officially GM now

It's has been prophesied that one day Charlie will defeat Magnus, the final boss.

[percarlen]

I'm a beginner at chess, a 1200 player, and I found the last move. However...


1. I knew there WAS a winning move, which Magnus did not.
2. I was pretty sure Magnus was going to sacrifce his Queen since the move is regarded so clever.
3. I was pretty sure Magnus was going to check.
4. It still took me about 4 minutes to figure how I'd win after Qh6.
5. If I was in this position myself in a real game I would never have found the move or even looked for it.


What I learned is to imagine there is a brilliant move in any given position and spend some time looking for it.

[valkeitos]

I think the most difficult thing is to get the setup perfect to get to moves like these. Either way, it's incredible and i would never have thought of castling with the 1 move

[Jorge-wgtq]

Youre playing chess maybe thinking 2 moves ahead.
Magnus is thinking what he wants for dinner tonight 😂 he beat you when you sat across from him

[thorboysen]

I could easily create a list with my 100 dumbest moves! :)

[EduPiloni]

I remember the queen sacrifice, some commentator covering live thought he'd blundered the game!
