You could've just show what computer does and what people play from lichess database, but you wouldn't be able to put "Magnus" in the video title. Disgusting.
It makes sense that he ignores it most of the time. Because the piece doing the pinning can move either. Or the pin is lost. So he maneuvers around it.
I think it's because he values development over attack or counter attack. Keeping his options open do he can focus on winning the game instead of getting dragged into a minor scuffle
Nice work finding and summarizing all these games, thanks! Since all these pins happen in different scenarios, and not all of them threathen doubling the pawns, it would be nice to see how he responds to the actual threat of doubling a pawn.
I love how your videos are straight to the point and you explain clearly.. most chess channels want to give too much of their input, confuse you with a lot of moves the best players dont even do for a reason, and never get to the point! Great content brother
2% of the time he moved his queen. 1:24 3% of the time he defended with the knight. 2:34 4% of the time he defended with the queen. 4:05 13% of the time he blocked with the bishop. 5:38 23% of the time he attacked with the flank pawn. 6:49 55% of the time he ignored the pin and continued developing. 9:26
1:57 it's easy to see why Carlsen decided to move his queen here, he's already developed all the pieces, so it's time to develop the queen too and controlling a nice diagonal
aparently i got a brilliant move for some reason: me: hmm… that queen's protecting that square so i better get my queen for Fork-Protection. him: * plays bishop to try to create a checkmate threat * me: OH HE MESSED UP THE CHECKMATE BEGINS!, CHECKING SPREE him: OH NO THE COUNTER CHECKMATE me: you just got baited, i was planning things up and you tought im gonna run out of time while thinking, but i was like doing things quick, and was like THINK QUICK ABOUT THE COUNTER-FORK CHECKMATE
Did you find any correlation between his 6 choices compared to the outcomes of those games (win/lose/draw)? Maybe 100 games doesn’t give you enough data and there are a billion other variables, but curious if that data revealed anything to you.
When you say he ignores it, it looks like this only happens in specific scenarios: i.e. he sees an easy oportunity to move the piece behind the knight outmof the way in a way that helps him more
Sorry if I'm being ignorant, but he didn't ignore it in those 3 examples, right? On the second move from the pin, he moved the king/queen, so he dealt with it pretty early
Can you do about queen and king fork, queen secured, or queen pin
Damn Nelson thank you for working so hard on one topic for us which occurs a lot in our regular games
Next: How Magnus responds to checkmate
thank you nelson now i wont fail to win in a boxing game as i now know dogs bark
3:24 me when I'm trying to form a damn simple phrase in English 😂
drive thru mic
Did you do the data yourself or do you have a team? These are impressive findings
Hi
This is an insane amount of effort just to learn one thing
Me who ignore the pin and lose the rook:
Very interesting bit of information. Thank you for putting this all together.
Early, well that's new
WOW
Thanks Nelson, pins happen to us more times than can be counted. This video is very valuable. Thank you
Im bad at chess as an asian. Im pretty sure magnus is white so ima say he has white priviledg-
Cancelled, Banned
pretend I said something funny
wow, i've never been this early to a video x.x
first

7:44 thats a solid opening, the anderssen

Nice deep dive into studying Magnus' games. Thanks for sharing.
I KNOW! PP ON PP
Cis men= sissy men.

such a great guy

7:35 and you longer have the knight* 🤣
All of these are pretty trivial. All positions are pretty much standard theory, Learning is basically zero from his video
watching in kenya
Bro i just added the percentages and it adds up to 77??????????
3:17 Nelson.exe stop working
1:57 it's easy to see why Carlsen decided to move his queen here, he's already developed all the pieces, so it's time to develop the queen too and controlling a nice diagonal
aparently i got a brilliant move for some reason:
me: hmm… that queen's protecting that square so i better get my queen for Fork-Protection.
him: * plays bishop to try to create a checkmate threat *
me: OH HE MESSED UP THE CHECKMATE BEGINS!, CHECKING SPREE
him: OH NO THE COUNTER CHECKMATE
me: you just got baited, i was planning things up and you tought im gonna run out of time while thinking, but i was like doing things quick, and was like THINK QUICK ABOUT THE COUNTER-FORK CHECKMATE
7:36 you no longer HAVE a knight
Carlsen should really consider joining the army, he's a born General
Excellent focus on the subject about "pin" on the knight! Thank you for your effort in presenting this subject . More success to your endeavors sir!

I hate knight pins against my King or Queen, unless I'm the one doing it.
I love this video. This was a lot of effort.
When you say he ignores it, it looks like this only happens in specific scenarios: i.e. he sees an easy oportunity to move the piece behind the knight outmof the way in a way that helps him more
You say he "ignores" it but he eventually Castles out of it, that's why his next two moves after the pin was to make room for the king to castle ASAP
Sorry if I'm being ignorant, but he didn't ignore it in those 3 examples, right? On the second move from the pin, he moved the king/queen, so he dealt with it pretty early
thanks, Waldo taking notes
Funny, I thought I was already subscribed to you, just realized I wasn't. Well, I am now lol
12:59 why you said here the world or former world champion?
Just start at 9:25
