One Move To lose, One Move To Draw 🤔 | Firouzja vs Carlsen | Norway Chess 2020

Magnus Carlsen won the 8th Altibox Chess tournament after beating Alireza Firouzja in the ninth round of the ten round event. Carlsen visited the confessional just out of the opening and was already unhappy with his choice as he believed that black had very few winning chances and white was a bit better. He was much happier a few moves later saying white might only be a "tiny" bit better which he visually demonstrated. The game then continued on and on and although Firouzja was not initially worse he started to consume a lot of time and play a little strangely. Carlsen started to take over and was pushing for a win but his 36...Nc1? which he thought was immediately finishing the game (instead he should have played 36...f5) turned out to allow Firouzja to get a more or less equal position. The game eventually simplified down to a drawn King and Pawn endgame where but Firouzja was surviving on the very short 10 second increment and was incredibly nervous, at the end Carlsen said Alireza was shaking so much it almost seemed random where the pieces landed, and in these circumstances Firouzja just blundered the entire position away and had to immediately resign. This meant that Carlen was already the winner of the tournament with one round to go. You can subscribe to our channels you like to see more content from those channels.
