♦️Chess Story Of Magnus Carlsen:👇🏼
FM (2002); IM (2003); GM (2004); vice-World U12 World Champion (2002); Norwegian
Champion (2006); Candidate (2007 & 2013); World Champion (2013, 2014 & 2016); World Rapid Champion (2014 & 2015) and World Blitz Champion (2009, 2014 & 2017), winner of the Grand Chess Tour (2015), five-time winner at Wijk aan Zee (2008 (jointly with Levon Aronian), 2010, 2013, 2015 & 2016) and ...
Carlsen had an aggressive style of play as a youth, and, according to Simen Agdestein, his play was characterised by "a fearless readiness to offer material for activity".As he matured, Carlsen found that this risky playing style was not as well suited against the world elite. When he started playing in top tournaments, he had trouble getting much out of the opening. To progress,
Carlsen's style became more universal, capable of handling all sorts of positions well. He opens with both 1.d4 and 1.e4, as well as 1.c4, and, on occasion, 1.Nf3, thus making it harder form opponents to prepare against him and reducing the effect of computer analysis. He said in 2015 that the middlegame is his favourite part of the game as it comes down to "pure chess". In a 2016 interview, Anish Giri said: "Magnus and I are very close in terms of style, but in our approach to the game we're total opposites. Magnus tries to put the accent only on play, getting away from preparation, but for me preparation plays an enormous role.

21... Rae8?!
The logical continuation is 21...e4! which opens Black's dark-square bishop's diagonal and creates a protected passed pawn.

21.Nf1!
White gets the better position in the endgame because of the pawn structure, so he plans to trade off the heavy pieces.

An instructive regrouping to meet the opponent's space advantage and prepare for ...e5-lever.

After this exchange, American Samuel Sevian loses his advantage and enters a drawish opposite-colored bishops endgame.

14...Ra7!
Black finds an original way to bring his rook into action.
a fine lateral development of the rook – unlike his opponent Janowski isn't afraid to play 'strange' moves!
15.0-0 Rc7 16.Qb3 Nbd7 17.Rfd1 Ne5.

15.0-0 Rc7 16.Qb3 Nbd7 17.Rfd1 Ne5.
15.b3!
A most annoying move for Black. A bishop is often happiest on the first rank, where it keeps its options open. Here Black is going to have to castle. If he goes short, 16 Bb2 will follow as in the game; if he goes long, then the bishop can change its mind.
15...0-0
15...0-0-0 16.Bf4! cuts into the squares around the black king.
16.Bb2 g6
If 16...Rfd8 17.Qd3 followed by 18 0-0-0 would win easily for White. Sargissian's attempt to upset the white rook meets with short shrift.
17.Bxd4 Qc7 18.Bf6!
Two pawns down and unable to play 18...gxh5 because of 19.Qd2 threatening 20 Qg5 mate (or more slowly 20 Qh6 and 21 Qg7 mate), Black resigned.
