ivanchuk is truly a mad genius and could have been #1 in the world when he was younger... we still see flashes of his genius especially in blitz and rapid as well as the occasional brilliancy, but unfortunately his lack of consistency means he really has no chance against carlsen in a match at tournament time controls
the old chess: alway capture the mid square( e4,d4,e5,d5),try to hunt enemy king easy out play the newbie( like kasparov, lasker) but very hard to the same opponents ( kasparov- karpov is the longest game and at that time- they are same) modern chess now play in the side (a3,b3,c3,h3,Nc3..) control the 2 side and attack enenymy by blockage( like stalingrad, the blockage in iran,...) ,so you attack on a-b-c column, try to blockage and wait for opponent mistake we will wait for next stratgy of chess
And yet their lifetime record in classical games is 10 -3 to Carlsen, and including speed games it's 23-18 to Carlsen. Chucky can say what he likes, Carlsen is the better player🤒
look on the chess board, it is like a picture the king like the president they alway on mid( center) the weak is pawn( protector) and the 2 side is rook( 2 nd strong after queen) the queen is only 1 must waiting but the rook is very strong if they have relation( double rook is stronger than queen very much even 10 point-9point but they have the relation) all of we know that if opponent have double rook on 7 rank it ís danger and nearly over ìf you control queen+ knight+ bishop example : look the game caruana vs le quang liem
9:33 all of white pawn are blocked on left side, and on right side black has 2 to 1 advantage + black's king is closer enough to get a queen.... Magnus can not do anything in hoth sides....
