I always wondered why these lectures were about 55 minutes long, but never more than 60. Then I remembered that you're paid by the hour.

About Nh2?? Carlsen wasn't in too much time trouble but he did what we all have done in chess (he said this in the post game interview). The thing was he knew that Nh2 lost immediately so he was looking at lines with Qh2 and complications and aaargh calculation (it's very complicated). After a long thought he went "ohh I could play Nh2 let's do that" and regretted his decision later. We all have done analysis and one move is clearly incorrect but we forget that during the analysis on go "oh i could play (that bad move) and it's simple" and we lose :)

Im a little disappointed about the confused audience in the comments that thinks a random permutation of 'frankly ridiculous', 'very suspicious', 'etc. mainly etc.' and 'terrible' will make them look like a sedulous disciple of the sacred art that is the Finegold school of chess humor. But they were confused before the video started, so i guess its ok. Anyways, their indolence and insolence is unefficacious! So even you dont get paid by the hour, pretend (always pretend) you have more than an 8th grade education and apart from knowing the difference between latent and actualized potential actually put some effort into your jokes. kthxbye P.S.: not an english speaker, man i had to look up like 10 words in the dictionary, so leave a like or E for effort

@felipegomes6312 Жыл бұрын

It's a risky position 'cause after castling the King moves to the g8 square and if he gets checked, he has nowhere to go since the rook is on the way now. The white Bishop and Queen are indirectly attacking the h7 square, threatening mate in very few moves. He could try and protect with the knight to f6 but then the white pawn on e5 can just take the knight.
