How To Beat Magnus Carlsen?

hello everyone and welcome to the last day before the world chess championship match in dubai starts uh we're going to have magnus crossing the reigning world champion defending his title against the challenger yanni ponichi of russia and today i decided to show you not one but two games and these are the only two games magnus ever lost in a world chess championship match so we're gonna show uh the one uh from 2014 match against anand and the one uh from the london from the new york match against sergey karjakin uh in 2016. uh so as you know uh this will be carlson's fifth world champ championship match he played four of them uh the first one against anand in 2013 when where he won his world chess championship title he won three games and lost the zero game so that was a very clean uh victory and then ananda challenged him back in 2014 they played in sochi in russia magnus again won three games but anand was able to win one game and it was a pretty pretty impressive one this is the one that we're going to show then we're going to show the one against uh sergey karjakin that was played in in london in uh sorry in new york in 2016 uh it was a game eight of the match first seven games were drawn then uh karjakin won the eighth game and then magnus was successful in retaliating in game 10 then the classical portion of the match ended in a draw and then of course magnus defeated karjakin in the rapid tie breaks and then of course there was the match against fabi in london where all 12 games ended in a draw and then magnus again won the rapid tie breaks and now we have the 2021 match in dubai against nipple where we will not be having 12 games we'll have it we'll be having 14 classical games which means there's a well a bit of a bigger chance that the the classical world chess championship is actually decided in classical time format and not in rapid tie breaks but still uh you know i i wouldn't count on it it's possible nepo style is a bit different he is you know playing a lot faster he is choosing riskier lines so we could be seeing you know a win here and there but uh you know it's still it's still hard to you know dig up a win in classical time format so we'll see what happens and will this uh be yet another uh world championship match decided in rapid time time time format or you know god forbid armageddon or will it actually end in uh in classical time format uh that's you know that's what we'll be enjoying for for the next three weeks but now let's check out what it takes to beat magnus carlsen in a wheelchair championship match the first game we're going to show is anand versus carlson this is a game three of their uh world champion championship match in sochi russia yeah so let's see how the game went uh so the the match started by uh first game being a draw then magnus won the second game and then anand retaliated in game three so let's see how he did it uh anand started with d4 we have knight to f6 by magnus c for e6 knight to f3 and d5 so a normal queen's gambit declined knights to c3 bishop to e7 and now bishop to f4 going for the harvest attack uh not the standard bishop to g5 but uh a bit a bit of a sharper idea of bishop to f4 and it seems like uh knights to b5 is a very scary threat but i'm just quickly going to show if anyone plays this against you you can you can safely castle here it doesn't matter if he goes knight b5 uh you just invite him to go knight c7 just c6 knight c7 and now bishop to be for check and you win there's really no good way to defend this uh you can block with the queen or you lose your queen if you move the bishop you lose the knight on c7 and if you move the knight then e5 here you block the bishop so now you're ready to capture the knight and if bishop captures then knight e4 the bishop no longer defends the knight so now you're threatening bishop captures on d2 and if the bishop goes back queen f6 now attacking the bishop if the bishop moves you're gonna checkmate the white king so here uh everything completely just falls apart for example g3 you can even just capture bishop captures on the two bishop captures and queen captures and f2 checkmate just in case uh someone plays this against you but okay uh here of course anand continued with e3 we have knight beat to d7 and now continuing with c5 and in the olden days if you played something like this they would say you know you are completely mad uh i i think even stein it said something like this at one point that this is completely anti-positional and it's uh you know no way to play with white you can easily undermine uh this expansion white created with wood moves like b6 if b4 then a5 and it's just not good but here anand plays it and there's a very good reason he plays it so uh carlson continues uh with uh you know how everyone would uh we have c6 uh bishop to d3 and now we have b6 challenging that advanced c5 pawn we have b4 on and defends it and now a5 continuing to undermine the structure we have a3 and now bishop to a6 attacking the bishop on d3 and this is the idea of this line bishop captures an a6 rook captures in b5 anand sacrifices a pawn but for a very good reason he's going to create a past c pawn so crossing captures and we have c6 now the knight is attacked but there's no good way to move the knight so we're just going to play queen to c8 this is black's absolute best response of course carlson knows this uh now if you capture then queen captures and c3 comes with the trick so ana advances his pawn all the way to c7 it's only move 14 on and already has a pawn and c7 so you know very very good stuff here and now uh here magnus plays b4 nowadays i i think it's known that bishop captures an a3 is kind of the best move because you know if rook captures b4 can be played uh so we're going to play knight captures on b5 and then if bishop back to b for czech king the f1 then like the e4 sort of a a line that would be preferable for for black but okay b4 is also fine this is what magnus played we have knight to b5 and now comes a4 interestingly this position was reached in the 2002 feeding grand prix against anakole karpov and kirill giorgiov where knight to e4 was played karpov was able to win this game with the white pieces but here magnus goes a4 now with some uh very nasty threats of just creating a pass pawn of course with b3 but also freeing up that a5 square to capture uh the knight on b5 because the knight really doesn't have any any good retreating squares so here rook to see one by on and knight to e for now uh putting more pressure on white's position and now anand throws in the the tricky move and that is knight to g5 sort of offering a piece here uh but the the knight can't be captured if you capture the knight and then we're gonna play bishop captures and if knight captures uh and if knight captures on g5 uh you will play knight to d6 attack the queen and now after the well you have to give up the queen here there's no other other move here if you move the queen we just bring another queen into the game and after rook captures you're going to capture the rook with check and now the queen again falls so really nothing better to do here so of course after night the g5 magnus just went to knight d to f6 he improved his position a little bit and now anand trades once we have knight captures knight captures and f3 now challenges carlson's knight here on e4 uh and here uh on uh uh carlson just goes rook to a5 he attacks the knight on b5 rather than just trying to you know uh save his knight on e4 also very interesting was queen to d7 uh same idea we attacked the knight here and now after f captures we're gonna now of course you can't capture right away because uh c8 queen you have to play rook to c8 first and now there's no good way to defend this knight uh if you play queen to d3 to defend it just rook a5 and the knight will still fall so this would be good for black but okay magnus went for the immediate rook to a5 and now we have f captures on e4 by anand and it is now only as of move 20 that this position has never been reached again uh so let's see how magnus continues rook captures on b5 you have to recollect your piece and now comes queen captures on a4 attacking carlson's rook rook to a5 and now we have queen to c6 so this is uh this pass pawn is already very far advanced but magnus also creates his own pass pawn he plays b captures on a3 and now he also has some a2a1 ideas you know floating around uh anand plays e captures on d5 and now we have rook captures on d5 grabbing that pawn we have queen captures on b6 and now queen to d7 so carlson has to keep an eye on that c8 square but he also needs to keep an eye on his a3 pawn for the moment anand cannot threaten this pawn so he castles here uh and now comes rook to c8 so now you don't have to worry about um uh white advancing this pawn and magnus is ready to play bishop to d6 the to cut off this bishop's defense of the pawn and then maybe later on we can worry about picking up this pawn so anand plays rook to c6 he doesn't allow magnus to play bishop to d6 and now uh what do you play here it's it's a very difficult position for black white has all the pressure here in this position and probably you should play something like h6 and after rook after c1 white will bring more pressure here you you could play bishop to f6 and maybe the game continues where white will always be better but black should be able to to survive because as soon as white introduces something white has to give up control of something then maybe black can you know grab onto that and you know there are even some nice tricks in the position for example if something like h3 is played you can even play some like rook captures on d4 so white white has to be careful for example captures captures uh you can lose the queen here now it's of course uh not a very serious threat but there are threats in the position but in the game magnus played the g5 and this makes him makes his position a little bit more difficult to play uh anand brought the bishop back bishop to g3 now comes bishop to b4 uh offering a bishop for the rook on c6 of course that's not going to happen but what magnus is really going for is bishop to a5 to win that c7 pawn so here anan goes rook to a1 and now what do you play here well it's a it's a really difficult position to evaluate and there really uh isn't a move that's you know particularly attractive for black you know the engine is giving g4 as sort of a way to continue playing this but it's not uh it's not uh a move that's all that impressive uh but in the game we have bishop to a5 by magnus attacking the queen going after that c7 pawn but anan just plays queen to a6 and now what do you play here uh well there are a lot of a lot of cool ideas in the position for example e4 and well if this rook ever moves away from the fifth rank then the bishop just falls uh if you play something like uh bishop to b4 to get the bishop out of harm's way then rook to b6 is enough for for a win for white you're attacking the bishop also rook this b8 will be a terrible threat so magnus continued with his plan he played bishop captures on c7 but now queen back to c4 and now you can't move the bishop because rook captures and c8 will just win and your bishop is attacked three times so here we have e5 uh magnus now blocks the bishop's diagonal bishop captures on e5 and now rook captures on e5 he had to give up the exchange to survive a little bit longer but now after d captures on e5 uh we have queen to e7 by magnus and now on and plays e6 uh saying that you can't really capture this um uh so so what are you gonna what are you gonna play here uh magnus played king to f8 he doesn't want his king on this diagonal and now comes rook to c1 and it was in this position on move 34 that magnus carlsen uh resigned the game as there is nothing more to it to be done here so the bishop cannot move or if you don't move it the bishop will be captured uh there's nothing for for black to play here and it's just uh you know a total annihilation here so it was not an easy position to play and interestingly uh black never really put all that much counter play here white really got a wonderful position and then he converted it very convincingly so as you've seen it was uh like the position was reached in 2002 by anatoly karpov so you know uh even even in 2024 14 it still uh you know had some poison to it so that was the one game magnus lost uh now let's check out the other one the other one is uh in the 2016 new york match against sergey karjakin uh let me just uh shift this now where magnus had the white pieces and also a very very interesting one uh let's see what happened in this one so magnus opened with d4 uh we have knight to f6 knight to f3 and d5 we have e3 and now e6 the coal system bishop to d3 and now karjakin strikes in the center with c5 we have b3 by magnus preferring to fianchetto his dark square bishop and bishop to e7 both players castle here and now bishop to b2 so this is all been played before nothing new here uh we have b6 by karjakin uh and now the the position is is a known one knight the b knight b to d2 and c4 are very well known moves here but the move magnus played is not a known move and it was uh played then for the very first time but it was also never played again after it was played in this game so magnus played d captures on c5 and it is now a completely new game already as of move eight so uh one would expect that black would capture with the b pawn sort of to improve his presence in the center but qarakan captures with the bishop and now the bishop gains more activity and well this is how he prefers to play it and okay knight b to d2 by magnus with bishop to b7 queen to e2 developing the queen now connecting the rooks and knight b to d7 karjakin also needs to do the same if he wants to get his rooks into the game we have c4 by magnus and now uh karjakin captures on c4 d captures on c4 knight captures on c4 and queen to e7 also getting ready to bring the rooks into the game so we have a3 uh hoping to get that b4 move in as one always should uh and of course uh karjakin stops this with a5 we have knight to b4 now and rook to d8 uh so of course we have to activate our rooks now rook after d1 rook a to c8 and now rook a to c1 and both sides have sort of completed their development uh kraken starts with knight to f8 now the rook gains nice control of the d-file and the knight is being shifted over to g6 we have queen to e1 uh now preparing to bring the bishop back to f1 so white can also gain some control over the e file with the rook knight to g6 and bishop to f1 so both players just putting their pieces on optimal squares and this bishop on f1 although it seems a little bit passive it's it's actually quite active doing good work here and also regarding that g2 pawn against this monster bishop on b7 so here karakin starts with knight to g4 as not a lot of pieces here defending carlson's king side you you might consider some ideas like queen to h4 uh nothing so barbaric but you know if white allows it we're going to play it of course and here you could play something like h3 just say go back and then we're going to place the knight on e5 maybe see a trade here and then kara can basically just improve the position of his knights but here we have knight to b5 by magnus yeah so offering a trade of rooks along the d file and the knight here on b6 on b5 can be quite annoying as white has quite a lot of control over that d6 square but for the moment black also keeps control of the d6 square so here we have bishop to c6 interesting move is queen to g5 but it's very hard to to make something out of this with that that bishop on f1 being such a good defender so here one example why bishop to f1 is so impressive uh so after knight to b5 we have bishop to c6 now putting pressure on the knight on b5 and magnus defends it with a4 we have bishop to d5 now uh and bishop to d4 now offering a trade of dark square bishops we have bishop captures and c for rook captures in c4 and now even bishop captures on d4 so uh grabbing that piece we have rook d captures on d4 now preparing to capture the knight on g4 and now rook captures on c4 we have b captures on c4 and the knight to f6 uh so what do you play here well it's a it's a very interesting position but you can't really claim that white got something out of the opening uh there's really not all that much to uh to do here the knight on b5 is somewhat impressing but black's presence on the king side is also very very nice so here we have queen to d2 threatening to pick up the rook here and uh karjakin just brings the rook back to b8 we have g3 by magnus preparing to now fianchetto the light square bishop and grab hold of this diagonal and now knight to e5 the f3 square was weakened so of course why not threaten it right away we have bishop to g2 defending the f3 square and now h6 uh by by karakin and now how can magnus continue this game it's not easy to find uh to find the playable move as black is controlling a lot of squares probably you should continue with something very slow a move like maybe you know h3 or or something but magnus goes for f4 uh just attacking this knight we have knight back to d7 and now knight to a7 as the queen no longer guards the square now magnus is threatening queen to c6 to win some material uh we have queen back to a3 putting pressure on the a4 pawn and now knight back to c6 attacking the rook here and where do you where do you put this rook that's a very interesting question uh well obviously you could play rook to c8 which seems very interesting and even though the queen is guarding the e7 square uh you're just not really sure that your queen will remain on this diagonal for for a very long time so uh with good reason uh karjakin plays a rook back to f8 and you'll see why this is so and now with rook to f8 he's also kind of offering a draw he's saying okay if you want you can capture on d7 and this is a draw if rook captures we're gonna give up two knights for a rook here but then we also play queen captures on e3 with check you can't go to h1 because you get checkmated so you have to play king to f1 and then queen c1 check let's say king of two and you're gonna pick up the c4 pawn as well uh it's a rook against the knight and the bishop where black is up two pawns so it's very very unlikely that white will be able to do anything here uh so like i said that rook to f8 move kayaking plate is basically a draw offer so here we have h3 instead magnus not interested in a draw and now comes knight to c5 now you can see that the rook uh here on c8 would wouldn't be very well placed because now the knight here blocks the queen's access to d7 square so knight here would just be very very problematic so here king to h2 and now comes knight captures on a4 karakin wins the pawn on a4 and magnus goes for the attack now we have rook to d8 and now comes king to g6 giving the king a little bit more breeding room but the problem is you also allow carlson to grab hold of this diagonal so he plays queen to d4 now with the terrible threat of just capturing the knight so here we have king to g7 and now no you cannot capture the rook king captures and queen captures uh the knight on f6 because you forgot that the queen was still still guarding the rook on f8 uh i know you did don't lie yeah so here we have uh well a very interesting move here carlson just plays c5 and it's a move that seems to be doing a lot because the queen no longer guards the rook on a f8 and now you are threatening something like rook captures king captures queen captures on f6 and um well you just can't do all that much if queen captures on c5 you can play queen captures knight here if knight captures the queen still isn't guarding the rook so the same uh plan is also working but there is one move that uh magnus completely missed here and that's exactly what uh karjakin plays that's the rook captures on d8 and now what do you play here well there just isn't a good move uh knight captures on the e8 but now knight captures on c5 and now all of a sudden karjakin is up two pawns and there is not much uh magnus can do about this magnus finds the absolute strongest counter play he plays queen to d6 and now uh kraken does not find the absolute best way here the best way is queen a4 you have to give up the b6 spawn and after you give up the b6 pawn now you play knight c to d7 attack the queen and only after the queen moves you're gonna play queen to a3 and now you you can continue playing this with your beautiful pass pawn uh you know just marching forward so instead after queen to d6 karakim played queen to d3 it makes sense he's up to pawn so he wants to trade queens and it seems like it's uh you know a similar idea if you uh capture on b6 you can even start pushing an a4 right away queen captures and c5 queen capture 78 and your pass pawn will be winning however he missed carlson's idea completely and that is knight captures an e6 check and now the problem is you can't capture with the knight because the queen would hang so you have to capture with the f pawn uh and or you could move back king to h7 is also a move but the knight f8 check and now you can't go here because the knight hangs so you have to defend the knight and we have sort of a repetition here uh so f captures on e6 was played and now comes queen to e7 check came to g8 and queen captures on f6 so magnus still down in material those two pass pawns are incredibly scary but he does have a lot of pressure on these pawns here however they are defended the knight defends the e6 pawn and the queen defends the g6 spawn uh so kayaking can just start pushing we have a4 and now we have e4 by magnus uh now the queen no longer guards the g6 pawn so queen to d7 and now comes queen captures on g6 with check queen to g7 and queen to e8 check we have queen to f8 and queen back to c6 uh so still still playing very very very strongly uh queen to d8 guarding the b6 pawn the knight still guards the e6 pawn and magnus has to continue pushing he plays f5 we have a3 karjakin wants to bring that uh pawn all the way all the way to a1 of course we have f captures on e6 and now uh king to g7 uh we have e7 attacking the queen here of course if queen captures then we're going to pick up the b6 spawn but there really isn't anything better because well you can't allow white to promote this pawn to a queen so queen captures on e7 queen captures on b6 attacking now uh the knight uh okay the knight is defended for the moment but we go knight to d3 and queen to a5 now so we're not allowing this pawn to be pushed anywhere uh we have queen to c5 now offering a queen trade magnus can't allow this because then the passport will be too strong impossible to stop so queen to a6 putting pressure on the knight here and now knight to e5 and here uh is the move that really makes a difference uh but but not for magnus for for karjakin uh here magnus played queen to e6 and this simply will not to do there's a huge huge problem with queen to e6 you guys of course know what that is so feel free to pause the video here and try to find it the only winning move for karjakin while i give you a couple of seconds so for those of you who are able to do it congratulations on figuring out that magnus is actually in tutuang and for those of you who just want to enjoy the show it is of course h5 this is the the only winning move and it's incredible uh the problem with queen being on e6 is that you have no checks uh you have no checks and you know if you try to move your queen somewhere else where you will have some checks then then it will simply not be enough for example if you try queen to a6 now okay you can start giving some checks it's not enough queen to c3 we're going to play queen b2 and now our pawn just becomes a queen and there's no no sufficient condor play queen b7 check we can play king h6 and once another check is given we can even block with knights the g6 and that's it queen b2 a2 a1 that's that's that's a victory even if e5 if you go for some bishop to e4 ideas it's not enough just h4 we go after the pawn here and even if the pawn is captured we can capture on e5 with the check let's say king g1 queen to a1 would check king to h2 now a2 again queen to e5 check is coming and then we just bring another uh bring another queen into the game so after this h5 brilliancy by karjakin there doesn't seem to be a move that magnus can play h4 was played but here karjakin just played a2 even though it seems like the white queen is guarding that pawn but it was in this position on move 52 that magnus calls and resigned the game as there really is nothing more uh that he can do here uh to give you an example if the pawn is captured let's say queen captures an a2 now this hole on the king side knight to g4 check is just deadly the problem is if you go king to h1 uh then you just get checkmated queen to c1 check you don't have a square you have to play bishop to f1 and now it's just checkmate and if you don't after knight to g for check you can play king to h3 but now queen g1 threatening queen to h2 checkmate the only move you basically have is bishop to f3 but now comes knight to f2 check and you don't have a move the pawn prevents the king from going up there also the knight and you have to give up the queen captures captures and that's it so really really an incredible incredible game where you know a game could have been drawn many times but uh both players so wanted that win andy was magnus who made the final mistake and allowed karjakin to uh to you know just bounce back but it was interesting that uh karjakin as soon as he got into winning position he uh you know he missed why why it was winning uh here where we mentioned that uh this c5 move was played it wasn't a good move and just rook captures and knight captures was winning but magnus already found some deadly counter play with queen to d6 and karakin failed to find queen to a4 uh but you know who who wouldn't knight captures an e6 uh just seems impossible because the knight also guards e6 i mean who would who would who would think that uh but yeah then magnus bonds back and then uh in the end it was uh karjakin who was victorious and you know everyone thought that this would be the year of karjakin because how could magnus retaliate but only two runs later uh magnus uh won one game 10 and then later on he he won the rapid tie breaks uh so yeah uh those were the only two games magnus lost in his world chess championship matches so the one against anand in 2014 in uh sochi russia and the one against sergey karjakin uh in in the 2016 match in new york uh hope you guys enjoyed that we'll see what happens uh in the fifth match against nepal like i said he's a bit of a more aggressive player he said that they've prepared something very special for the match uh so we'll see but uh like a like i mentioned on twitter uh the only two games magnus lost in world chess championship match is playing d4 and playing against d4 so i imagine nipple will choose for his game one tomorrow with the white pieces uh the move one to d4 we'll see if this is so uh you know but but it would make sense uh so once again i hope you guys uh enjoyed that i would like to thank your give is a good lad uh wish we will find the boat pito uh henrik fola chatron club 2000 given mana and dan mccormick for a contribution to my channel thank you a lot i really appreciate it as usual you can check to all my previous videos here thank you for watching and i will see you soon continuing uh well or rather starting the coverage of the world chess championship ship 2021 between magnus carlsen and ianni ponyshi thank you all uh and see you soon
