Hello everyone and welcome back for this new video
We are at the third turn of the Katar Masters and after the defeat of Carlsen and his complaints on Twitter
Today several things have already changed
Meanwhile, Carlsen and Nakamura will play in two fixed positions
In case of defeat they cannot go back from the box
In practice they are the two VIPs of the tournament
Also, in the gaming room there were no more spectators
Smartphones have also disappeared
And in the stands we find only players or authorized staff such as referees
Another important news is the fact that the guy who beat Carlsen yesterday on the Imenov
Today he showed up without a watch
It has never been better in his game
So a unique draw and a loss
But he played with the black pieces
Anyway, it could be indicative, I don't know
So the situation seems to be back
I let you notice the influence that Carlsen has in the world of chess
In practice, only a tweet was enough and the organizers allowed all his requests
So let's see this third turn
Before starting I remind everyone to like and subscribe to the channel
Thanks to all those who are subscribing
And let's start
Ok, here we are
At the third turn Carlsen faces with the white pieces the international master Mutaia
2470 points and he trusts him
Almost 400 points, he practically hates Carlsen
Carlsen opens with e4
Mutaia responds with e5
Follows knight f3, knight f6
We return to the Petrov defense
The black chooses a solid approach
Carlsen captures the pawn in e5
Follows d6, knight f3, knight e4, pawn d3
Carlsen attacks the knight
The knight retreats to e6
And then plays pawn d4
We return to a variant of the Petrov defense called the French attack
Mutaia plays g6 pawn, the best move
He is ready to flank the bishop
Carlsen develops the bishop in d3
And is ready to flank
He follows g7 bishop
Flank, flank, both put the king safe
Carlsen continues with h3
A very calm move
He controls the g4 house
Prevents the bishop from being developed in g4
Mutaia then plays b6 pawn
Follows c4, bishop b7
The black chooses the double flank
Here we are already out of theory
We return to a playable balanced position
Carlsen develops the knight in c3
The black plays rook e8, rook on the open column
Carlsen develops the bishop in e3
And Mutaia plays knight d7
As you can see, both are trying to finish the development
Carlsen continues with rook e1
Follows h6
h6 is the first strange move in this game
In fact, the white was not threatening anything
So it is a move that is not really needed
With this move, the black intends to control the g5 house
To prevent the bishop from playing g5 or knight g5
Carlsen continues with d5 instead
He blocks the diagonal to the bishop
Closes the way
Mutaia jumps with the knight in c5
Attacks the bishop on the open column of Carlsen
Carlsen withdraws it in c2
And follows c6 pawn
With c6, the black wants to reopen the diagonal to the bishop
He wants to bring it back into play
He follows queen d2 for Carlsen
Attacks h6
And Mutaia ignores this attack
And captures the d5 pawn
He follows d5 pawn
Knight e4
Knight for e4
Knight for knight
Bishop for bishop
Here they follow a whole series of exchanges
Rook for e4
Rook for h6
Carlsen gains a pawn
In practice, here everything starts to be a little better
Everything is under control
Nothing to do with yesterday's game
Where Carlsen seemed to be a beginner
Instead, here it seems that the opponent is afraid of Carlsen
Why? Because he changes all the pieces
Having one less pawn
And now, as we will see, he also returns to a lower position
He follows tower by tower
Tower by tower
Rook for h6
Queen for h6
Rook for d5
It is true that the black takes back the pawn
But returns to an unfavorable end
Also, Carlsen is the king of the finals
As he plays, no one plays
Now the point is that Carlsen does not play the correct move
Which was h2 knight to play g4 knight and try to attack
But he plays d4 knight
With precision
Mutaia continues with queen f6
The best move
Attacks the knight
Puts pressure on the pawn in b2
He is also attacking a2
Carlsen then withdraws the queen in d2
Defends the knight
Follows tower c8
Tower on open column
Carlsen plays a3
Saves the pawn in a2
Follows a6
Tower and 3
Carlsen plays the best move
Rook g7 for the black
Knight and 2
Carlsen still plays the best move
He is trying to coordinate the pieces
Knight e2
Controls the house c1
He does not allow the tower to escape with c1
Instead, the tower is very active here
And therefore can attack important houses
Follows the rook c4
The black commits an imprecision
But actually the idea is to capture the knight
As you can see, the black wants to change all the pieces
And equalize the game
Carlsen refuses
Plays knight g3
Follows d5
Another imprecision by Mutaia
What is he doing here?
He actually closes the way to the rook
His pieces are not coordinated
While Carlsen's pieces are coordinated
He can hurt Carlsen from this position
Instead, with rook c4
The black has also blocked the way to the tower
Follows b3 pawn for Carlsen
A maneuver that goes well
It is not really wrong
But the engine already preferred an attack
Try to attack
Rook b5 for Mutaia
Carlsen still attacks the rook
The rook retreats to d7
And follows knight e2
Mutaia comes with the rook in e6
Arrives knight d4
Carlsen centralizes the knight
Follows a5
Rook h2
Let's go back to a balanced position
Mutaia chases in f4
Carlsen plays g3
The queen retreats to f6
And Carlsen plays Rg2
It looks like a complicated ending
Mutaia plays Rd7
Carlsen pushes in g4
Here he shows that he wants to play to win
Why g4?
In the future he wants to play g5
He wants to create important weaknesses near the king
Follows Rd8
Rd8, Rd8, Qe3
Carlsen attacks the rook
Rook returns to d7
Knight f3
Rook c6
Rook g5
Here it is
Carlsen now has created two weaknesses
h6 and f6
He is attacking the queen
The queen moves to d6
Carlsen captures the pawn in b6
And now he has one more pawn
Follows d4
The black threatens to capture the knight with a check
And then to capture the queen in b6
Carlsen has to be very careful
In this position
And in fact he plays Rf1
A very strong move
He leaves the knight in play
The black cannot capture
Otherwise the queen falls in d6
Follows Rg8
Queen loses 4
Now Carlsen has two more pawns
Mutaia plays Qe6
He makes the final mistake
But I want to say
Two more pawns for Carlsen
A Carlsen that does not risk anything
A Carlsen that is always better
Or has a clear advantage
Or is still slightly better
But always better
Does not risk absolutely anything
A completely different game
From yesterday's
Where we saw an unrecognizable Carlsen
Carlsen jumps with the knight
N5
Attacks the bishop
Mutaia captures with the queen in h3
Giving check
Follows Rd1
Qh1 check
Rd2
Qf3
The black wants to play Qd1 check
Carlsen ignores this plan
He plays Nd7
Against the attack
He wants to play Nf6 check
And then checkmate
Qd1 check
Rd3
Qxb3 check
Rf4
Qg6
Do you know what happens here?
That Carlsen has a forced checkmate
In 7 moves
Wow, crazy
Carlsen plays Nf6 check
Rg7
Nh5 check
Rf8
Qd6 check
Rg8
Qd8 check
And Mutaia in this position
Decides to give up
So the only moves he can play
Are Nf8
Qxf6 check
Rh7 Qf6 check
Rg7 Qg8 check
Let's compare this game
With yesterday's
No, they are two completely different games
Carlsen here is much more
Confident than himself
He doesn't make any mistakes
Meaning he never
Loses
The game is under control
At the end
Nero was also good
Because he was equal
In the end
But here
The strongest player wins
Yesterday's was a massacre
So I don't know
I only know that
Sulejmanov lost today
He lost a game
In a unique way
And today
There were no watches in the room
Only smartphones
