Jan-31-19 Yu Yangyi vs Le Quang Liem, 2019

Dave12: A case of a powerful knight vs a bad bishop, combined with a rook on the open line.
A very nice a game to study.

Dave12: <ex0duz: <Dave12: 10.♗e3?, 11.♗xf7+? Very weird and totally unexpected in this level.>
Lol yeah coz it doesn't work>
Of course, I meant that those moves are a beginner's errors. I don't think I would've play them and i'm a 1600 player..

Dave12: 16.dxc5 Bd3 isn't that bad. White can hold with 17.Rxd3 Nxd3 18.cxb6 a3 19.Qc2 Qxb6 20.bxa3
[DIAGRAM]
16.d5, on the other hand, gives black a very comfortable game. When white blundered with Qd2 black was already much better

Dave12: <Penguincw: The Endgame Explorer doesn't have any Carlsen BN vs. K endings, so we'll never know.>
The closest thing he had to that ending, I think, is Carlsen vs Aronian, 2012 where black resigned before testing his B+N mating ability.

Dave12: It seems that black didn't understand the purpose behind the weird looking 19.Bc7, he played right into it.

| | Jan-24-19 Aronian vs W So, 2014
| |
|
Dave12: I don't understand what happened in this game, Having a really hard time finding the losing move from black.
I find comfort in the fact that probably Wesley So didn't undestand what's happening as well..

| | Jan-22-19 J K Duda vs Kramnik, 2019
| |
|
Dave12: The g5-g4 from black was very risky and probably unjustified. Not because of a tactical point rather than a bad strategy, pushing a kingside pawn while being behind in development, and giving away the center.
Duda was quick to point that out with 18.b5 and 19.gxh3.

Dave12: 32.Rd5 is so neat in this position. Reminds me the 28.Re5 in Carlsen vs Anand, 2012

| |
|
Dave12: <Dave12: Some crazy calculation here.
Ding must have seen everything before 22.e5!!...>
I meant 22.d5!!, of course.

Dave12: My favorite MC game ever. The quickness of which the black position was turning from "looking fine" to "totally lost", without anyone being able to spot the losing move and without any major blunder, is something you rarely find in the world stage of chess. The only game I can recall
