Magnus Carlsen's knight is the MVP

Featured is the round 8 Armageddon game between Magnus Carlsen and Praggnanandhaa R from Norway Chess 2024. The primary focus is the endgame phase, where Carlsen has a strong knight against Praggnanandhaa's bishop. After Carlsen creates an outside passed pawn, Praggnanandhaa's king is tasked with stopping it. In the process, Carlsen wins a pawn, but the position remains level. Praggnanandhaa's final intuitive idea to curl up into a ball in the corner with his king, defending his base point f7, is faulty. Carlsen's conversion is especially smooth and aesthetic.

I like how you kept only the knight route on the board in the thumbnail.

@trevorrogers95 Ай бұрын

Very eye catching. Good job Jerry 👍🏻

It’s a great thumbnail.

@ChessNetwork Ай бұрын

Thanks. I kind of stumbled upon the idea during the edit of the thumb. It caught my eye.

Carlsen seems to know endgame better than anybody for so many years. It is crazy nobody has caught up to him yet

@LukeLongboneOfficial Ай бұрын

Agreed. Better than anybody in the last 10,000 years or so. 😃

I've been watching your videos for over a decade and ive never heard you use the term "boomerang" for that tactic. I think every chess player has their own name for it haha. Axel Smith calls it a lifeline tactic. I call it a "rope-a-dope."

@scheimong Ай бұрын

I've always called it a boomerang, but it's the first time I've heard someone else call it this.

@MoonBurn13 Ай бұрын

I had a configuration exactly similar to the “boomerang” in this game come up a year or two ago, Jerry: The Queens were attacking each other with only my Knight interposing. I could have taken White’s KNP with my Knight, which would then still be in position to recover the material in case of QxQ. I missed it! And of course, saw it only moments after making my move. Maybe you should offer a chess neologism “boomerang” to the vocabulary, Jerry.

Great video as always Jerry. I do have a question though - In your tale of the tape how are you getting an "accuracy %" in what looks to be the lichess SF analysis?

@nugnug501 Ай бұрын

After a game, just click Analysis Board > Computer analysis > Request a computer analysis

@88mphDrBrown Ай бұрын

@nugnug501 That doesn't give an accuracy %. It gives everything else - inaccuracies, mistakes, blunders, and ACPL.

Hi Steve. I’m not familiar enough with chessable to recommend any courses. Viewing slower chess content on KZfaq with rapid time controls can be very beneficial.
