That was really interesting. I kept thinking it was Magnus playing White. It wasn't just the odd opening, either. It was his way of coordinating to play offense. Black's Ra8 just never got active.
No there would be Nc3 defending the bishop and avoiding check and in case of d4 there would be Bxc6 removing the defender of the pawn with a check ... Hope this helps
idk if youre talking about his title which is FM, and that means fide master. You can get that title with a rating of 2300 (some weird exceptions too at 2100)
