GM Magnus Carlsen

19/7/2021 – World Champion Magnus Carlsen has been holding his crown since 2013. There were 2 challengers who tried to dethrone him the likes of GM Fabiano Caruana (USA) and GM Sergey Karjakin (Russia) but won both matches.

Now, another very strong challenger GM Ian Nepomniachtchi (Russia) will try his best to outwit  him on November 24, 2021 in Dubai Exhibition Centre.

I was checking his games, particularly a 17 year old game in the Calvia Olympiad (2004). One thing I found out, he was already playing maturely and aggressively. But today, he plays like AlphaZero in my opinion.

The Nimzo-Indian Defense is an aggressive black opening vs. 1. d4.  The idea behind this opening is to bring out pieces at kingside and castle early then create an imbalance position to white position. However, GM Magnus Carlsen’s character of being so patient in finding the correct moves at  right timing, won in entertaining fashion.
