Black resigns since any move by the Black h6-king to get out of check (h5, g6, or g7-squares) runs into 40 ♕f4-g4+

a <QUEEN FORK> of the exposed Black king and the <LOOSE> Black e2-rook.

37 ... ♖e6-e2?? is a really incredible blunder for a 2600-rated player to make.

With the exposed Black g7-king and mobile, centralized White d5-queen, it is pretty clear that an upcoming <QUEEN FORK> is going to win the <LOOSE> Black e2-rook.

Magnus then calculated the <FORCING SEQUENCE> 38 ♕d5-f7+, 39 ♕f7-f4+, and 40 ♕f4-g4+ and its bye-bye rookie.

<LPDO - LOOSE PIECES DROP OFF!>
