Feb-21-22  belgradegambit: After 30 Rb1 , Nf4!! was a crushing tactical shot we usually expect from Carlsen. Best win of Hansen’s career.

Only worth <!!> if he'd seen the follow-up <32...Nd5>.

Feb-22-22  Messiah: It seems someone failed here. 🤔
Feb-23-22  Whitehat1963: Impressive!
Feb-23-22  GlennOliver: I must be missing something.

Why is Black's 30 ... Nf4!! a brilliancy?

A solid move gaining an advantage, yes, I see that much.

Feb-24-22  dehanne: Eric who?
Feb-27-22  James J. Henderson: Shocking result, but kudos to Hansen for pulling it off. Could White have managed to draw after 33...Bxd7? He would be a pawn down, but after the a-pawns come off the board, White seems to be able to get good piece activity, and it appears difficult for Black to find a way to win. Would be interested to hear others' thoughts.
Mar-07-22  cehertan: Black�s 30 Nf4 was a fairly routine one mover any master should find. All in all a very rare massive debacle for Magnus.
