Carlsen completely misplayed it. No idea why he played f3.

Completely misplayed all the critical moments in the game. Modified the pawn structure terribly...

I can't believe it. Magnus must have been drunk or something.

14.f3 was interesting I thought... not my first pick of course, and at first seemed to justify Naka's Bg4, but after that series of moves ended, Naka's queen looked silly and white has targets.

That said, I thought for sure 14.e5 because having played this structure myself I think of it as thematic.

It's move 17 and 19 I can't understand at all, I'd like to know Carlsen's reasoning.

Carlsen always make positions uncomfortable to play to his opponet happy.png This time he went into wrong position.

- Magnus Carlsen learned in 2015/14 that you have to loose to learn.

( and learned not to loose )

- Do you think that it is only Karjakin that holds back in this venue ?

( keeping their lines a secret )

3 points for victory and 1 for draw is promoting offensive chess.

( in definition not defensive )

 

Be well, all. Play for fun and learning.
