Anish Giri was somewhat lucky at some points during day 3 of the Chessable Masters. In the very first game against his Dutch compatriot Jorden van Foreest, for example, Van Foreest blundered in an entertaining double-rook ending.
The Two Knights Defence is one of the oldest opening lines in chess history. This DVD is aimed at players of both sides, giving an objective overview of all relevant theoretical lines.
Magnus Carlsen, meanwhile, entertained the audience with his opening experiments. Against Vidit, he opened with 1.d3 (Carlsen won this game); against Wei Yi (draw - see Karsten Müller’s analysis below), he tried 1.h4. Is the World Champion completely reinventing himself here? We'll have to wait and see.
The world champion’s kitchen makes a tidy impression
In the first game of the day, Magnus Carlsen prevailed with his minor pieces - Gawain Jones’ rook was not an equal counterweight.
Carlsen’s 1.h4 against Wei Yi eventually led to a rook ending which could have been won by the world champion.
Also in round 12, Giri entered a rook ending against Vidit (this time with only one rook), which he won, unlike Carlsen, after a mistake by his opponent.
