The checkmate threat was a double pawn sacrifice. That's okay to miss, Carlsen you're forgiven. | ||

Once you get the idea it isn't that hard to execute for players of this caliber. I think if Magnus found the first two or three moves he would have won easily. But finding the first move ofc is hard under this time control. | ||

Depends on the situation, sometimes it's a very clear process, just your opponent can delay a lot, and you need like 5 moves just to advance one square... Say 2 bishop vs king or bishop + knight endgame. But yeah, this one wasn't one of those. | ||

From the looks of what Jerry said, his bishop needed to be on a particular square like 10-15 moves ahead of time, and if he was a different one on the same diagonal, it wouldn't have worked. Making those sacrifices and missing something means you instant lose, so I guess he didn't want to take that risk analyzing that with one minute on the clock. | ||

To put it in perspective, I didn't see it live (of course) but with the engine saying something was there I was able to find it no problems without needing the engine to tell me what it was. *I'm talking about the 'obvious' mate after 72. ... Rb7. | ||

Oh geez man, I would've found that Rb1 with 3 second time controls. Pressure was too much. | ||
