Magnus Carlsen INSTANTLY PULVERIZES Alireza Firouzja! (2024 Julius Baer Cup!)

Magnus Carlsen had a stellar showing at the 2024 Julius Baer Cup, and in today's video we're looking at an incredible game he played vs Alireza Firouzja in the same tournament! This game started off a little weird, with Magnus Carlsen going for a strange double fianchetto based setup, but he slowly took over in the game and truly showed Alireza why he's the GOAT of chess! In the game Magnus Carlsen opened 1.Nf3, 2.g3, 3.b3 - heading for the famous double fianchetto setup. From there Alireza responded by going for a King's Indian Defense style setup himself, and the game quickly heated up! Of course Alireza was the first to strike with a crazy looking temporary knight sacrifice, but Magnus was up for the challenge, and he ended up being the one to press Alireza late into the game! Make sure to watch till the end of the video to see the insane conclusion to this unbelievable game! #chess #chessgame #magnuscarlsen #alirezafirouzja
