What's the verdict? Is it a blunder, or a Tal Move? :)

[BLUEGENE]

jesus, every time i try to pick a move i hear "but that would lose the game immediately" afterwards

[pokerandphilosophy]

Carlsen is so incredibly strong that he could blunder the opening, get mated in the middle game, and still win the endgame.

[pokerandphilosophy]

I thought Tal's main strategy was to blunder a piece first and then figure out a way to make it look like a brillant sacrifice so as to make his opponent crumble under stress and paranoia.

[ArslanShahh]

Magnus played like a precise engine after the blunder!

[eshneto]

A better quotation for this game would have been "the pin is mightier than the sword"

[douglasquaid]

"It was obviously a crude blunder"
- Magnus Carlsen

[cornelpopescu]

It was a sacrifice or a mistake was asked Crlsen after the match."There shouldn't any debate - it was a crude blunder" said Magnus Carlsen.

[nabisco]

This was some Paul Morphy type shit with all those pins

[juananayalomeli]

can u display each players ELO please : D maybe next to their face or something that would be kinda cool. just a suggestion, I love ur videos.

[juandiaz]

Anish Giri said that he (Magnus) has proven to be a piece better than the rest

[AM-spje]

Magnus is simply genius. Crude Blunder and still manages to win.

[giggitygoo]

Magnus after the blunder: "Ok, time to switch off Houdini and start Alpha Zeroing this shit"

[robertwilke]

I didn't find the move. I am not a great player.

[mikeyoung]

Loved this game. I've never really appreciated Carlsen in my vague chess watching but this game (and your channel) really got me. Thanks.

[jaimeduncan]

The TATA is becoming more and more a super interesting tournament. It’s amazing that Carlson did not resign or got betokened physiologically

[kasparov]

"It's difficult to fight against an opponent who blunders a piece like a beginner and then begins to play like a genius." That's the take from our annotator, Ukrainian GM Mikhail "

[victorhaneberg]

It was a blunder but Carlsen played perfect afterwards

[cj-nyc]

After he blundered he played on another level. 🔥🔥🔥

[Rombizio]

Magnus doesn't blunder. He is giving the opponent a chance to win. Unfortunately for his opponents that rarely happens. Is like Chuck Norris letting you hit him first.
