Nihal Sarin PLAYS the LONDON SYSTEM vs. Magnus Carlsen in the TITLED TUESDAY

Okay, Neil Sarin, very good player of course. He's playing early B6. F3, so this is what I had in the World Cup against Gukash. Back in 2023. Maybe I played it against Neil in 2011 too, but I don't remember. Yeah, I mean the game went A3 and then Bxc3, Qxc3 and Dxc4. Unless Neil has some incredible novelty up his sleeve here. Black is doing relatively alright. Bc7, there's Nd5. D5 is Gukash's play. There's Nxd5, Qxg7, Qf6 and so on. Black is perfectly fine. I think Gukash actually played Be5 and then Ke7 and then Bxc7. In order to check the Queen-King later. I think, as far as I can remember, White is not better here at all. He's kind of the one who has to play a little bit more precisely. Because, well, the Bishop pair is a factor, but my pieces are super active. And, well, these pieces are not. And also I got more pawns in the center. So, to my untrained eye, it feels like there's more positional risk here with White than with Black. So the idea is here, he went Nf3. And then probably develop Rg1 and then develop the Bishop and so on. I guess we... Bxf1. Bxf2. This is so tempting. Let's see. This has got to be good. F6 would probably be against this orc. I don't know. And then at the very least, I can invade. Take him out. Oh, just actually... That's a nice line. Bxf6. Nb3. King moves. I take the rook. He takes the rook. And I take Rxg2. Immediately. Once he takes... No, he must have blundered that. Not like sauce him that way. I just like... I just don't believe this can work. I'm not suspicious at all. I don't know. I don't know that you guys are aware of this. I'm just trying to figure out what I'm doing. I'm doing horribly by any means. But I guess my dreams don't come true. Actually... K2. Here I got... No, I don't even have that. Oh boy. I think we're just going to expect to be changed. Cut our losses. For now. C1. Rxg2. Rxc7. Rxf2. What does that look like? Rxc7. I mean, Rxc8. I start escaping. Nd5. I work the d2 check. Or this. Why do I have to go and make... This is so complicated. We're going to just run with d2. Rxc9. Okay. At least he's running a ton of them. This one. 4. Rx. Okay, I have 4. Then I can go... 27. Yeah, shoot. Rxc7. I still got excellent luck with that. At least I got that. I mean, that's a good shot, too. I think that's not going to work. Here. 5. Depends really well. And he's really fast, so... It's not a foregone conclusion, but... Okay. Good stuff. Tough game. Very, very... Tactical. Unclear. Tactical. Rxc7. Tactical. Rxc7.
