Yesterday in chessy news, it was a tough day for Magnus Carlsen. He played in the Rapid and Blitz – in the Blitz phase – in Warsaw and then played in the chess.com Classic. Wei Yi leading in Poland and Magnus is in 2nd. However, in one game against Nodirbek, in a time scramble Magnus hanged his queen and went from completely winning to completely losing in an instant. The moment.
White to move and mate in 2.
NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
Happy Mother’s Day to your mom! She is still in my prayers.
