When you get defeated with one of the most passive defenses possible
Jan-Krzysztof Duda Defeated magnus and broke his 125 undefeated game streak??
Sort:
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the caro kann it has been played at the top levels for many years
lol

Classic hikaru fanboy only knowing 2 names; magnus and hikaru, btw hikaru is number 19 in the world, and duda is higher rated than him

The Caro Kann is the greatest opening ever, not too theoretical, very solid, and in many variations other than exchange, there are plenty of chances! No need to critisize Magnus for playing an extremely powerful opening against a super gm. But, these new players like Duda aren't too popular @najdorkmiguel, and I know a LOT of chess names ranging from ancient players like Greco, Steinitz, Andersson, and Morphy, and younger players like Vidit, Praggu, and Dubov.

There's nothing wrong with the Caro-Kann. Kramnik and Svidler even thought Carlsen's position was better out of the opening. He simply made a few bad moves later on in the game that Duda was able to take advantage of.
Firouzja's been playing the Caro exclusively against e4 in the tournament and is actually on two draws and two wins with it(which is a pretty great result for a black opening), so I don't think it's disappearing from the top level anytime soon..
Only dummies would assume that the opening played any role to the outcome of this game.

Two wins and two draws with black is really impressive especially against such strong competition. I really think that alireza is going to bring back the Caro Kann to top level chess competitions.
Sorry I actually miscounted.
He beat Duda on the first day
Drew with Aronian
Then beat Tari yesterday
If you also include that one crazy armageddon game he won against Levon that's 3 wins and 1 draw while playing the CK as black. At the very least, it shows it's not a pushover opening.

I'm not saying that the carro Jann is bad or anything, it's just that if magnus is too tired to play well, then why play it?
Also the game was decided by a "blunder" somewhere in the moves 35-40, i dont remember, but I analize the game with my coach and my grandmother's friend, who was once no. 2 in the world and the coach of anatoly karpov, he retired from competitive chess, but he still does some coaching, plus I'm a friend, but anyway, I'm not stupid, I'm just sad that magnus lost...
