how did magnus save that game

hmmm by rajs inacuracies lol

he got a fortress setup, there were no entry points when carlsen had found Re3.

Magnus has to be super motivated by drawing a completely lost game.  I think he beats Levon tomorrow.

hmm wat was the idea of knight c4 in carlsens game

The queen on h1 and his knight saved the game. 

@Randomemory- I agree, he successfully defended an attack

Carlsen played that Qh1 so fast. Radjabov must have had that sinking feeling that we all know about- when a won game suddenly slips away.

He had upper hand because he is known as world stronger player.

But it's the end of that esteem. Tommorow he will not have such a thing.

Why is Qh1 so shocking to everyone, even the commentators???? I even found this move, it's the only way to prevent Qg2, Qf1, and Qxh2. Quite a simple one move calculation, really.

I once read that the most overlooked move is a bishop moving backwards. I suppose a Queen moving backwards on the diagonal is the same kinda thing...

But they find Qg2 against Qf6, so how hard is it to move it one square further against Qh3.

Funny, I once read the hardest moves to find are backwards knight moves... Smile (Invisible Chess Moves: Discover Your Blind Spots and Stop Overlooking Simple Wins, by Emmanuel Neiman and Yochanan Afek, Chapter 2 - Geometrically invisible moves, page 86: E: Backward knight moves)

Please, can anyone inform me where I can watch the match live or an archived version of the most recent candidates games?

Yes, I read that too. (I've seen it happen over the board especially.)
