Magnus Carlsen has been the #1 Chess player in the world for quite some time, but what is it about his skill that allows him to retain his position for so long? Today I decided to take a deeper dive into some of his most instructive tactical and positional games, and analyze common strategies and themes that can be instructive for chess players of all levels.

The next game is between Carlsen and Naiditsch in 2006 at the 37th Chess Olympiad. In this game, we will be focusing on themes of development, and creating space on the Queenside. 

Finally, Let's take a look at a brilliant game played by Carlsen against 5-time World Champion Viswanathan Anand.
