He also made some uncharacteristic errors at the end. But it happened to Vishy (Anand) as well (in the 2013 world title match). “And also that Ian is probably a bit more prone to blundering than some other opponents. “I think it’s the tension for sure,” he said. Later, Carlsen was asked how could his challenger blunder so badly. He’s trying to blitz Magnus and he ends up trapping his own bishop instead.” “It’s also such a preventable one… Just another rushed moment. “This is a terrible moment for Nepomniachtchi,” said GM Fabiano Caruana of the US after Nepo’s error. And for the second successive game Carlsen capitalised on the Russian’s blunder. Playing with white pieces, Nepomniachtchi made a huge blunder on the 27th move, which led to his own bishop being trapped. Victory in Game 9 of the 14-game World Chess Championship contest gave Carlsen a 6-3 lead, and he now needs only 1.5 points from the five remaining games to retain his crown.
Of course, you also may have tipped off your opponent to your plans by chasing his queen to the forking square.Defending world chess champion Magnus Carlsen scored his third win in four games over title challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi to get an iron grip on chess’s principal global trophy. Now you can get the queen with a minimum of losses. Can you reverse the order of these moves so he can't do that? How about instead of Bxf7 first you do that second, after chasing the queen to h3. Probably just to take the rook on g1 to get as much as he can out of it. Do you see any better moves for the black queen? No.So you sacrificed the bishop to win the queen. Notice anything else about Ng5? That's right, it's a fork. Now where can the queen go? Only one square. How about put the rook on the g-file? Visualize the Rook moving to g1.
The queen is guarding that square and will capture. See anything good? You could check by Ng5 but there is a problem with that. What moves can white make in this new position where black one's king is on the f7 square? Name several possible moves, and look for one that checks because you always want to look at all checks and captures first. Hold the image in your mind as clearly as you can. See in your mind the new position after these two moves have been made.
There is more to explain about how to notate a chess game, but for now, just follow the directions to get to a certain position where the visual exercise will begin.Castling is written 0-0 for king side castling and 0-0-0 for queen side. Each piece starts with the first letter of its name, except for the knight, which starts with a capital "N." If it is a pawn, then just write the name of the square it moves to with no capital letter.If two different pieces that start with the same letter can move to the same square, then include the square the piece originated from. To represent a move, start with the first letter of the piece, capitalized, then write the square you moved it to.There will be numbers going up the sides from "1" to "8." Across the bottom will be the letters from "a" to "h." the letters will not be capitalized.Be sure to use a set that has algebraic notation on it: Algebraic notation is a way for you to read the moves and then play them on the board for each side so you can follow a game and study what each side has played, and analyze the moves.
