Best Checkmate Combinations Ever! - 33

Classic game by the tops
Young Carlsen nice win against #1 from Armenia, GM Levon Aronian. It was an amazing game by World Chess Champ.

Was winning, but...
Even the Grandmaster can sometimes say "I was winning, but I suddenly made a mistake"

Really good game: Moro vs Carlsen
It was an old game. But you can see two monsters on the board, and one of them is the world champion, Magnus Carlsen, who was defeated.

GM Hikaru Nakamura's 2007 victory over GM Krasenkow is one of the finest king hunts of this millenium. Do you think Krasenkow saw 21...Qxf2+!! before Nakamura played it on the board? 🤔

For me, this is the 7th best game of the 2000s
