Carlsen loses, Carlsen wins

by ChessBase
8/5/2020 – When Magnus Carlsen plays, there is never a dull moment. Most of the time he wins, but sometimes he loses. On his YouTube Channel Daniel King (now with a beard, but it's him) presents two remarkable encounters between Ian Nepomniachtchi and Magnus Carlsen from the final of the Legends of Chess Tournament.

Whether you are taking your first steps into the world of serious chess training, or already playing at tournament level, FRITZ 20 will help you train more efficiently, intelligently and individually than ever before. 

On the first day of the final, Ian Nepomniachtchi achieved a drastic victory against the World Champion, who only rarely gets outplayed like this.

But despite this loss, the World Champion still managed to win the first set of the final, even if only in the play-off.

However, on the second day Carlsen made short work of the Russian Grandmaster.

More Magnus Carlsen:

Scarcely any world champion has managed to captivate chess lovers to the extent Carlsen has. The enormously talented Norwegian hasn't been systematically trained within the structures of a major chess-playing nation such as Russia, the Ukraine or China.

More Daniel King:

Glorious sacrifices, unexpected tactics and checkmating attacks. The King's Gambit is one of the oldest and most romantic openings in the game of chess. This DVD contains all you need to know to tackle your opponent.

Danny looks like Saruman The Wise before he was The Wise. Don't let that beard grow too long!
