Magnus Carlsen Attacks with the Rossolimo

Featured is the chess game between Magnus Carlsen and Boris Gelfand from the 2013 Candidates Chess Tournament. Carlsen opts for the Rossolimo Attack against Gelfand’s Sicilian Defense. After Carlsen’s 8th move, a 3:2 queenside majority is created in his favor on the queenside. How Carlsen sets his queenside majority into motion is highly instructive.

With Magnus being a generational chess player aside what has always impressed me is just how well he coordinates his pieces and that is always demonstrated well in these videos. Thanks for highlighting this game!

@fogoverparis 9 ай бұрын

This is something that I'm also routinely impressed with in Carlsen's games, there are so many times when he'll make a move or two and suddenly his entire position is glued together. Remarkable coordination. This game has a couple of great examples of it.

Had a game where I was up over 10+ points. All he had was a queen, knight & some pawns. I had queen, rook, knight, bishop, & pawns. All my pieces were away from my king, decimating his pieces. Somehow he checkmate me with just his queen & knight. I was cocky & didn't really think about where I was placing my king. So it was check after check after check until finally checkmate. All my pieces were too far away to come to my king's aid.

sorry for the second comment but what is carlsen's blunder? the computer is showing he played with no mistakes or inaccuracies but one blunder. am i reading it wrong?

@ghost79ish 9 ай бұрын

I'm assuming it's at the part where Jerry says that Magnus gave away some of the advantage. As you can see on the graph, it's pretty close to the end of the game. It's one of those weird things though, it may have been a mistake in the computer's eyes, but he was still clearly winning at that point so in the end I'm not sure how much it mattered.

@ChessNetwork 9 ай бұрын

It’s not really a blunder. The big dip towards the end was from +5 ish to +2 ish and that registered as a blunder. Still winning. It’s like cases when you don’t go for a mate in 10 variation and instead go for the line that easily wins the queen.

on move 12 magnus coulve gone knife f5 and if the knight was taken by the pawn, bishop b6 would come as check from the rook with the bishop attacking the queen. queen blocks check and rook captures king captures and ur up a queen for a rook and knight

@barthouweling4787 9 ай бұрын

Yeah you're actually right. Didn't spot that at all.. Wasn't touched upon but the main reason it wasn't played is mainly that it doesn't really help white to have a kNight on f5, I suppose. For a few moves, black can't take the knight without losing a lot of material, that's true; but f5 is only temporarily guarded tactically and the kNight can't do anything particularly useful or make significant threats in the short term. In the end when black solves his tactical vulnerabilities the kNight would probably just have to retreat. I would be surprised if it wasn't a candidate move in Magnus' calculation, though.

Thanks Jerry. As always I’ve only checked in with it visually, but on the line 24…RR8, aren’t you underestimating Black’s ability to defend against 25 QN8ch? Black’s got all 3 minor pieces to - well, at least block if not counterattack? (However, if you say that after 25 QN8ch “Black gets mated soon enough”, I tend to believe you. 😀

@zurigheid 9 ай бұрын

At 8:47 after black plays 24. Ra1, white has 25. Bxf6, threatening mate in 1 on g7, so 25. Bxf6 is forced for black, then white has 26. Qb8+ and the only way to prevent mate that turn is 26. Bd8, 27. Qxd8+, 27. Be8, 28. Qxe8#. I'm not sure if I'm talking about the correct moment here, because I'm not familiar with the annotation style you used😅

@rawkurface 9 ай бұрын

It's lost either way. You can take the pawn on c5 but then white will save the bishop. Gelfand probably though he had a better chance of swindling a draw with queen and bishop vs. queen and 2 passed pawns then with queen and bishop vs queen and bishop and Magnus with an advanced passer that promotes on a dark square.
