Magnus Carlsen Sacrifices Rook Against 2741 Rated French FIDE Master to Check Mate Him

okay let's go for a three minute game uh this is fm dr people from france and i do get another white here um and the three minute game means that i will be able to talk a little bit less i think so i'm going for the main line of the of the petrov here um let's see what he what he has in in store i'm sure he um he's well he's well versed in in theory here rook e8 yeah some very reasonable move usually um usually here you go for a quick quick attack of some sort so i think this is very reasonable um i could go knight e5 but i wanna i wouldn't try an attack now knight d3 is logical but i would go queen d3 and uh yeah again i just want to attack so i'm giving up i'm giving up this piece and hoping for some some serious attacking chances also i could have gone bishop 87 immediately here i think would also have been interesting knight g4 seems seems uh like the most logical move here probably go rook d to e1 then to keep the tension um yeah f5 guess this is also also reasonable but i'm just gonna try and blow everything open takes the knights i open the h file of course and queen a5 bishop d4 looks very good now queen h3 followed by queen h7 is a threat also just opening the um the um third rank for the queen i think is in general very useful for me i think rosa rook h8 um queen uh sorry king h8 queen h3 king j8 g6 maybe a decisive threat basic conclusion is is he's in a lot of trouble here c5 would lose to um it would lose to queen [Music] queen c4 and may to follow shortly there because he cannot block on the diagonal queen a2 if g6 there is there is fg4 and there's no longer queen um queen h7 so i need to think here a little bit queen in a2 also helps with the defense because later on the queen can come to g8 let's say after rook h8 queen h3 and then g6 um maybe there is some defense there based on but then again i i don't i don't see it concretely so i think i'm just going to go for rocket j8 in that line king f8 would still be mate after queen h8 um queen h8 and then um uh bishop g7 so some sort of defense would have to be based on bishop f6 i think and then bishop f6 king f8 but it looks it looks hard to hard to believe actually i i think i had a very nice line there just to pause the second bishop f6 bishop takes f6 uh king f8 yeah there's bishop g7 there's teeny 7 maybe so maybe that wasn't but now we do do probably get the chance to deliver a nice mate um again queen h8 uh sorry queen h7 is a is a massive threat um and king f8 now there is bishop takes g7 kings hg7 since there's no king e7 and then queen h7 king f6 g5 king e6 queen f7 would have been made rookie 2 is a nice attempt at counter play because it threatens queen a a1 mate but unfortunately for him i get to get to deliver another checkmate and now um now there's now there's a background checkmate instead uh okay i think that was that was pretty uh pretty cool uh regardless of the like objective evaluation of that uh that was um that was a good one
