White to move and mate in two #429 — How to Beat Magnus Carlsen [1]

Exploring the Most Difficult Challenge in Chess



Magnus, in my opinion, along with Capablanca and Fischer before him, is in the top three endgame players of all time category. As all puritan’s declare, we were not put on this earth to chase pleasures. Magnus is relentless in technical endings, where he routinely beats strong GMs and even world-class players in drawn endings. He just never gives up and, with infinite patience, waits for his opportunity. When his opponent omits the most insignificant detail, Magnus pounces and converts positions other GMs fail to win. No other player in the world can claim to be his equal in this phase.

… We learn far more through our failures than through our successes. There is not a doubt that Magnus Carlsen has examined all his losses under a microscope. If he benefits from this process, then so will we.
