In this video Magnus Carlsen destroys Alireza Firouzja and his French Defense opening with an absolutely epic rook sacrifice in their recent chess.com blitz match from September 2024! This game was incredible, as Magnus sacrifices the rook, the knight, the rook (again!), and he did it all just to DESTROY Alireza Firouzja and his "sad" French Defense opening!
In the game Magnus Carlsen opens 1.e4 (best by test!) and Alireza Firouzja responds with the French Defense with ...e6 and ...d5. This seems fitting, as Alireza Firouzja is French himself, but Magnus Carlsen is having none of it, and he heads straight for the mainline of the Winaver variation of the French Defense with 3.Nc3 and then 7.h4, a favorite of the computer program Alpha Zero!
Of course Alpha Zero popularized the idea of 7.h4 against the French Defense Winaver variation, and here Magnus Carlsen destroys Alireza Firouzja's french defense with this move, plus a series of rook and knight sacrifices! And the finish to this game is incredible, so make sure you watch until the very end of the video!

Threatening Qe7mate in the future? What about threatening Qxc8+ immediately?

Again, Bxb8 doesn't win a rook. It wins the exchange after ...Nxb8.

You sound like a 1200 elo player who just watched a video on exchange sacrifices and now he's trying to look smart by making a big deal that he didn't say exchange sac instead of just a sad lol You're adding nothing of value at all only crying over shit no one cares about. Even if Hikaru was breaking down the game he would have just said he sacked the rook. He would have never called it an exchange sacrifice lmao You are desperate to find any little way to look superior. It's very pathetic and transparent. If you don't like the commentary then roll out, no one will miss you I promise.

Rb4 is an exchange sacrifice, not a rook sacrifice. This type of sloppy commentary occurs too frequently in Dr. Mike's videos, which otherwise are reasonably instructive, though Mike wastes too much time on playing out one to three-move variations that are very easy to follow without playing out the moves. Once in a while wouldn't be an issue, but he does this so frequently as to be quite irritating.

What a sad loser 😅 No one cares about semantics. Giving up a rook when you don't need to is a sacrifice plain and simple.
