Dear friends,

Today I would like to share a puzzle that arose in a game between Magnus Carlsen vs Aronian Levon in 2019 Tata Steel Chess blitz tournament. Link to the video: https://youtu.be/pueQYdNDpcQ

I solved that in 3 seconds. It took Magnus 20 seconds? Does that mean I'm the new world champion? :-D

It actually took him 45 seconds to solve this. See this video at 10 minutes and 0 seconds (the puzzle arises right then):

He was probably calculating a8=Q then Rxg2 Kf1 Rbf2 Ke1 Re2 Kd1 and then Ref2 which is surprisingly drawn.
