EPTGreetings to all chess players and fans out there.
In that position, doesn't Qf2+ save black?
1.... Qf2+
2. Kxf2 (2.Kd1?? Qf1++) fxg6+
3. Qf3 Rxf3+
4. Nxf3 Bxb2
5. Ra2 Bd4+
and Black survives.

I had this in a blitz game and played Qe3+ of course, only found out afterwards. How does one ever see stuff like that in a game? If it's a puzzle it's always easier, because you know you have to consider weird looking moves. Always look at the checks and forcing moves and you'll find stuff like this a lot more often. | ||

Magnus Carlsen's official youtube channel. I guess this was his big news. Edit: Is there a way to link to the channel without generating an embedded video? | ||

Yeah, he's still one of the best rapid players in the world, though obviously "bad" compared to his dominance in classical chess. Which is a little strange: there was a time when he was regularly using <30 minutes to his first time control in supertournaments and beating some of the best players in the world. | ||

Time controls are a funny thing. I'm pretty bad at blitz, but in time trouble in a classical length game I'm really strong. No idea why. | ||

in time trouble you have thought a lot about the position and warmed up your brain kinda so you can move real fast. | ||
