World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway defends his title against challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi of Russia in Game 8 of the 2021 World Chess Championship match that is being held in Dubai. It's a best of 14 games where the first player to earn 7.5 points earns the lion's share (60%) of a $2.24 million prize pool, and the title of "World Chess Champion". The Petrov’s Defense returns with play deviating from game 4 by move 3. A symmetrical position arises after 8 moves with both kings on an opened e-file. The symmetry ends after Carlsen castles kingside because if Nepomniachtchi copies, he’ll be in trouble. Nepomniachtchi’s creative 9th move ended up forcing Carlsen into about a 40-minute think! What was Carlsen’s concern?

Once I heard an excellent advice - always check all possible checks before your move. It eliminates a whole lot of tactics and sometimes even strategical problems. I'm not a very good player and forget about this advice often. Quite interesting to see Nepo neglecting it as well (well, he certainly saw Qa3+ but did not calculate it further enough). What is the most amazing for me is Carlsen's technical skill above all else. Once he gains even a minor advantage, he bites and continues flawlessly, taking his time, thinking everything through...

I can’t imagine what it would be like for the opponent when Carlson goes into the tank for 40 minutes before deciding how to proceed at a key juncture in the middle game.

Maybe Nepo cracked under that pressure.

The game reminds me of Fischer vs Larsen WC Challenger championship match where trying to extract at least one win, Larsen overreached and lost all the six games without playing for a draw. Of course it saved Taimanov life (!) who also lost all the six games earlier to Fischer with only a ban on his travel outside Russia afterwards. But, till then, the chess world thought Larsen was equal or next only to Fischer in the world after the Russian GMs and their ex world champs outside Russia. But, Fisher demonstrated his tremendous game superiority on his way to the WC and beat Spassky whom he had never won earlier convincingly to claim the title.

@faznaz7455 2 года назад

You can say goodbye to your rook entering the game. And the black king is exposed to white’s attack and coordination and the Black rook needs to be able to help in the defence. But f6 cuts the rook off and isolates it. The rook would then need to reroute the long way and swap places with the king. But my intuition says that Black is nowhere near in time to coordinate this idea which concludes that Black is facing an attack on his king essentially down a rook. This to me is a decisive advantage for white. Even if Black manages to bring his Rook back to e8 lets say, white will have already pushed b3 c4 and already positioned himself for a deadly attack (i prefer doing this by putting Queen on a5 to threaten a7 pawn and infiltration on c7).

@lachlanthornton7694 2 года назад

my input is, apart from the worries associated with the weakened king (as Finegold puts it "never play f6" - or in this case f5), the concession of e5 would be too overwhelming in the hands of someone like magnus. As Jerry mentioned, after some trades a deadly rook would land on e5, and the only way to get rid of it is by creating a dangerous passed pawn

@alexnaturalis1179 2 года назад

Bishop d6 (just move 8!) appears to be the losing move in the sense that it made black a humanly irrecoverable disadvantage. Any hope for victory was lost right there, would you agree?

@glenm99 2 года назад

Curiously, Carlsen played a "losing" move on move 7! Nepo played this opening as White in 2019, and scored a win against Yu Yangyi. In that game, he played 7. O-O, which is about 100 times more common than any other move. 7. Nd2 only appears 9 times in the lichess masters' database. Of those 9 games, 6 are draws and 3 are wins for Black. White doesn't win any of them! All of those games went 7. Nd2 Nxd2 8. Bxd2. Nepo snapped the knight off right away, but this line is mostly unexplored in high level play, and it may have pulled him out of his preparation. At the very least, it had to put a question into his mind: what does Carlsen know about this that I don't? I can think of two reasons why he might have played that 8th move. He may have been aiming for a draw, and he had some reason why Bd6 would help that better than the alternatives. Or maybe he knew the move was slightly inferior (to Stockfish's preference, anyway), but he thought to pull Carlsen out of his preparation and put them on a more even footing.

@pizzashark7067 2 года назад

While it certainly invites complications, that's probably the point. There's no way Ian is out of is WC prep on move 8 of his primary defense, with white having only played one move slightly out of theory. Humanly irrecoverable for a layman like me? Well, sure, but so are most other positions you could hand me with Magnus as the opponent. But while something clearly went wrong for Ian, I don't think it's fair to say it was there, even if the engine isn't fond of that move. The nature of winning with the black pieces against humans - and yes, despite appearances, Magnus is human - is playing lines that are objectively only slightly dubious, aren't known to your opponent, and offer practical chances if your opponent fails to navigate their consequences perfectly.

@jerrybernini9491 2 года назад

It's interesting that it occurs to nobody that game 8 might well be called "Nepo takes a dive." The challenger makes a move so bad that a patzer might recognize it as such. It's not only a blunder but an exceedingly ugly move. A routinely competent player might consider the move but would recoil from making it (or would make it in an entirely defensive position). There's a plausible explanation for a player of that ability doing this and here it is: the whole farce was scripted. 1. He makes the amazing and colossal h5 move. Scripted. 2. Magnus ponders for 40 minutes before he responds. This is also scripted. 3. Eleven moves later Nepo makes that preposterous blunder. Scripted. More scripted moves follow and then it’s over. It isn't as though players of that caliber couldn't remember a prearranged forty odd move game. Nepo later looks stricken and ill at the press conference. Is it because he made the blunder of the new now? Or is it because he participated in that sham of a game? In a world of critical thinkers as opposed to mindless drones this possibility would at least be considered even it it upsets the feint of heart.

As Max and Anish pointed out, b5 is a common move in similar petrov positions. As Ian pointed out, he overlooked that the bishop was hanging. As everyone pointed out, blunders happen. Especially when you're tired after an 8 hour chess game, and potentially tilted thinking you're running out of time to win the championship. Going full conspiracy isn't equivalent to thinking critically.
