Magnus Carlsen passes Loek van Wely's Kan variation

Featured is a chess game between Magnus Carlsen and Loek van Wely from their DSB Bank Tweekamp match in 2006. Loek van Wely opts for the Kan variation of the Sicilian Defense and invites Carlsen's queen knight into his house, aimin to next exploit the newly weakened e4-square. This idea however is not accurately timed. Carlsen pounces on this misstep by obtaining an Alpha Zero pawn, and soon thereafter an octopus knight on d6. #MagnusCarlsen #SicilianKan Image of Magnus Carlsen by Sergey Rassokha creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en ★ LICHESS.ORG https://lichess.org/@/Chess-Network ★ CHESS.COM https://www.chess.com/member/chessnetwork?ref_id=1552369 (affiliate link) ★ TWITCH http://twitch.tv/ChessNetwork ★ TWITTER http://twitter.com/ChessNetwork ★ FACEBOOK http://facebook.com/ChessNetwork ★ PATREON https://www.patreon.com/ChessNetwork ★ DONATE https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=QLV226E6FUUWG PGN 1. e4 c5 2.
