Hello everyone and welcome to this new video
On the second turn of the Katar Masters something really incredible happened
Magnus Karsen lost against an anonymous great master
In the sense that he is little known
But the way he lost is really glamorous
We can say that it is the worst defeat ever suffered by Magnus Karsen
I had never seen a game like this, the white plays a murderous combination

And let's start
Ok here we are, on the second turn of the Katar Masters
Karsen faces with the black pieces the great master Suleymanov Alisher
2512 points to the Uffide, 327 points less than Karsen
Suleymanov opens with d4, Karsen responds with Nf6
He follows c4, e6, Nf3 to avoid the Indian Nimzo with B4
Karsen responds with Nb6
We return to the Indian Ovest defense
Considered a very solid opening by the black
And played by world champions like Karpov and Karsen himself
Suleymanov plays a3 pawn, preventing the move Nb4
He follows Nf6 for Karsen, immediately attacks the c4 pawn
Suleymanov defends with Qc2
Karsen continues with Nb7, follows Nc3, Nc5, Karsen plays in the center
And Suleymanov continues with Ne4, he takes space in the center
All theory up to here
Karsen captures in d4, follows Nd4, Nc5, Karsen develops the alfiere, attacks the knight and prepares to attack
Karsen plays Nf3, Suleymanov withdraws it, Nc6 for Karsen, B4 pawn
The white gains some time on the alfiere and is ready to flank the alfiere Camposcuro
Karsen withdraws the alfiere in e7, follows the alfiere in b2
Qb8, here we start to get out of the theory
Suleymanov continues with Nd1, tower on semi-open column, attacks the d7 house
Karsen withdraws, follows the alfiere in b2, the white prepares to withdraw
D6 pawn from Karsen, and the white plays the safe with the withdraw
Karsen develops the tower in c8, and up to here we can say that the position remains playable
The white is a little better because he has more space on the chessboard as you can see
But the black doesn't have a lost game, the game is balanced and the black is called Magnus Karsen
Suleymanov plays Nf1, Karsen withdraws the alfiere in f8 and the white withdraws the alfiere in f1
The best move of the engine
Let's say that we are now getting out of the opening phase and Suleymanov has played all the best moves
Then we will see what Karsen said after the game
Because here are heavy accusations against the player, but not so much against the organizers of the tournament and FIDE
Karsen complained later
Nf1 for Karsen, he wants to play Ng6 for example
Suleymanov plays the best move again, Nb5, he attacks the pawn in d6 and Karsen withdraws the knight in e8
This is a mistake, Karsen withdraws to defend the pawn in d6, it seems a logical move, but the white here begins to have a big advantage
However, this mistake is not so easy to exploit, but Suleymanov plays the game of life
He jumps with the knight in g5, the best move, he threatens to push the pawn in e5 and give a crazy check in h7
Karsen defends with g6, but this move is not enough, in fact the white can push the pawn in e5 and the knight cannot capture the pawn otherwise he gets a crazy check in h7
So be careful, Karsen knows it, he plays d5 pawn, but the advantage of the white is nothing more than increasing
I say we can directly put the engine here, because the white has played all the best moves of the engine
What does the engine say Nb3? Suleymanov plays Nb3
Karsen continues with e7 pawn, and here comes a devastating sacrifice, and in addition to the sacrifice comes a devastating sequence
Really brutal, I've never seen anything like this
The white captures the pawn with the knight in f7, he sacrifices a piece, wow
So why not capture this piece? It's a knight, it's free, right?
Long game, Karsen captures the knight
Well, let's see what happens, what is the best move here?
Ah, capturing in d5, Suleymanov plays d5 pawn
Karsen continues with d5 pawn, imprecision
But by now he had a completely lost position, he must have realized it for sure
Then at the end of the video you will hear what I have to tell you
And Suleymanov, without thinking for a moment, captures the pawn with the tower, boom, sacrifices the quality
An absurd sequence, Karsen must forcefully capture, and there comes a queen for d5 checkmate
As you can see, all the first choices of the engine
Karsen goes back with the king in f8 and follows with knight d4, obviously the best move
The white played a murderous combination against the number one in the world, congratulations
What's going on? Well, the white threatens knight e6 checkmate, a heavy move
Karsen tries to defend, he defends with knight f4, he controls the house e6
But here Suleymanov continues to play from a0, he plays queen f3
With queen f3 he attacks the king with gx, so the knight is immobilized, he can't be moved
Karsen places king in g8 and obviously follows queen for knight
The white has the initiative, the white has a big advantage, let's see what happens
Karsen doesn't give up, he plays queen b7, he tries to activate the queen
Suleymanov continues with knight f5, and now what does he threaten?
He threatens moves like bishop c4 checkmate, very simple, he wants to activate the pieces, he attacks
Karsen continues with b5 to avoid bishop c4, but Suleymanov rightly plays bishop for b5
He sacrifices a piece, since the black can't capture, otherwise he follows knight for bishop checkmate
King h8, queen f8, checkmate, not bad this player I would say
So in this position Karsen withdraws the bishop in f8, he realizes that he can't capture the bishop in b5
Suleymanov plays bishop c4 checkmate, you see, he goes back to his square
Karsen moves the king to h8, and guess what does the white play?
Very simple, because all the moves are indicated by the motor
The white obviously plays knight h6, ok, but this was not impossible
Knight h6 puts a piece in play, because he obviously threatens to capture the bishop in f8 and to checkmate
This is the game guys, an immortal game, a game where Karsen is unrecognizable
A game where Karsen couldn't do anything, as if he were playing against a computer, a human computer
So what happens? Do you think Karsen has nothing to say about this?
After a game like this?
No guys, look what he tweeted right after losing the game
I was completely destroyed in today's game
This is not to accuse my opponent who played a beautiful game and deserved to win
But, but, honestly, my opponent was wearing a wristwatch at the beginning of the game
How?
This makes me laugh
I don't know the rules very well, but he was wearing a wristwatch at the beginning of the game
And so I lost my ability to concentrate
Nooo, in practice Karsen realizes at a certain point of the watch
He loses his ability to concentrate, because he goes to ask the referee for explanations
But the referee says that this type of watch is ok, you can use it, while another type is not ok
In short, smartwatches are not ok, but normal watches are ok
I don't know, I'm not even so sure
And right after, Karsen writes another tweet
Obviously it's my fault, but it's frustrating to see that the organizers are not preventing cheating
With measures such as delaying the transmission
So the event is in real time, the outside world knows the moves in real time
And the spectators can move in the room with the cell phone in hand
Well, no, here, but I think he's right
I mean, the spectators with the cell phone in hand?
It's like what happens in tournaments in Italy
The last tournament I did, I saw people doing the move, going out, smoking, talking to the girl, to the wife
While the wife was on the cell phone, so quietly
So on this, Karsen is perfectly right
And not only that, it seems to me that he has tweeted another time
So 3 tweets in half an hour, 40 minutes
A really furious Karsen, guys, after losing such a game
It seems that he is crying to do so
It seems that he is not accepting defeat
Actually, he starts by saying
Ok, I lost, the opponent was very good, BUT
Dot, dot, dot
Do you understand what I mean?
Here, I don't know what to say
This guy played an amazing game
So Karsen deserved to lose
I have never seen Karsen lose in this way
Tell me what you think
