Ivanchuk is no doubt, by far my favorite chess player ever. Sometimes he makes crazy blunders, or misses obvious moves, but then when he's in the mood and in his prime, he demolishes LITERALLY anyone.
Magnus sure starts second guessing himself against Ivanchuk. Old man’s reputation for slaying World Champions is well deserved. The way he built his fortress is very instructive.
Magnus missed two very important moves. Obviously the queen checks king takes rook but also when Ivanchuck offered the queen trade he left his knight hanging. Pretty sure Magnus didn’t have to trade right away. Idk I’m only 1200 rated but I’m sure that’s why the evaluation went down after the queen trade
Why would Ivanchuk setup a pawn chain (see 41:51) on light squares with a light bishop? Kinda noob question but I thought there were some fundamentals there giving him a so-called “bad bishop” who now isolated to lower left side of board. I just assume he got bigger ideas. Anyone? Thanks! I see later he moves them, and I know the games & positions evolve… probably dumb question or I was looking at an end game where that was more important. #nooob. [edit] I think I did not take into account 👉Magnus’ dark Bishop👈
Yes. In chess, you have to make tradeoffs. Sometimes you have to play something bad for these reasons, for something good for other reasons--it's all about how to evaluate these tradeoffs. Just like in life, actually.
We now need to look for analysis to, arguably the World’s greatest chess player in history, Hans Moke Niemann, to see what that “Mangus guy” could have done differently.
