Magnus Carlsen Checkmates Grandmaster with Pawn

we have is from from china um she's uh one of the strongest female players in the world from from team chronic and she's gone d4 and uh i will just uh see if i can get the the same sort of um model game there obviously i cannot since since she went for knight f3 there declining the the banker gambit which is obviously a bit sad which line should i go for here let's go e6 okay she goes for g3 um yeah i don't know what line to play here so i'll just play something bishop e4 bishop b2 i'll go bishop c5 and push b7 i used to play play this line back in the old days i had it against our unknown for instance the problem is i don't think the line is very good like in general white is a little bit better but it's not that much i'm trying to get some sort of solid hedgehog type of position and after rook c1 i think i can set it up my knight only problem is my knight is on c6 should ideally um be on d7 since it's a little bit more flexible there but i think we'll get around to it eventually a6 now this is the hedgehog structure with these four characterized by these four spines so anytime you try to go past them you will be stung by the hedgehog okay she goes for exchanges which is very uh very sensible but now i think i have a relatively easy game um she's still probably slightly better but my my next moves are fairly easy um don't know yet if um knight f6 bishop d6 that works okay we'll go h6 then not worried about sax once she goes uh bishop d3 i will go knight f6 now we'll aim for either b5 or d5 if b5 there's knight a5 then i can go queen a8 seems reasonable playing very fast though which is uh very sensible yeah c6 was probably a good move i sort of underestimated that yeah and then started c5 and then c6 i missed missed c6 while i was busy yapping now i'll probably have to sack a pawn here since i would be very passive otherwise i need the d5 square for the night yeah this could be a difficult game it already is a difficult game but it could be even more difficult but at least i got her thinking a little bit on this one so bishop t4 i'm just sure about now we've got knight t5 oh she still got knights a a5 and the knight b7 okay we'll go rook c7 then rook c8 try to pick up the pawn that way our bishop c5 yeah that's a good move oh and bishop d6 as well i'm missing everything now okay this is massive trouble we'll have to hustle we'll seriously have to hustle this one but i have hopes now there could be problems on the diagonal for her queen of three there's knight e3 king h3 yeah that's sensible bring the bishop around okay let's no i missed knight of three i was thinking rook c1 okay i still have it though i was i was i actually saw it in the other line but i missed it here but i think this is still winning uh gf queen queen g2 and there will be mates otherwise h5 is threatening mate um but yeah that was a little bit fortunate but that's what i learned earlier about beating beating very strong players that they generally don't give up if there are tricks they will find them and i think for all of my poor play in this game my resourcefulness was very was very strong but i have to say she played well she played very fast and outplayed me up to a certain point c5 c6 was very strong and i only hustled a bit better at the end
