In Carlsen-Firouzja, Sesse has basically shown 0.00 the entire game. Perfect play. #TataSteelChess

🔗 Tarjei J. Svensen (@TarjeiJS):
Oops. Did I just jinx it? Carlsen just blundered. #TataSteelChess

Instead of exchanging everything and entering a worse rook endgame that should be drawn, Carlsen decides to complicate things. I guess this is still unclear, but risky play with two pawns down.

♟ | First time in the Tata Steel Masters for Andrey Esipenko and a draw in Round 1. #TataSteelChess

Magnus Carlsen wins a beautiful game against Alireza Firouzja, concluding with 36.Nxh6+! and a checkmating attack!

👏👏👏

Firouzja blundered, giving @MagnusCarlsen his first win at the #TataSteelChess tournament!

"Justice exists in chess!" (Leko)
Alireza Firouzja blunders and Magnus Carlsen crowns a bold game with a crucial victory!

Carlsen on his win vs. Firouzja: "It was a typical first round game, to be fair, thinking too much and miscalculating. (...) I don't know if 32...a4 was a huge mistake but at any event it was unbelievably impractical."
