Invisible Moves:
Magnus Carlsen The Magnificent - Gm Ron Henley
Every chess player knows that some chess moves are harder to spot than others: backward moves, horizontal moves, moving a piece to an apparently protected square, quiet moves in sharp positions, positionally undesirable moves and so on. Moves like these don’t easily enter our mind.
Delayed Gratification:
We already know that Magnus Carlsen isn’t a materialistic player at all. He sacrifices material in many situations. Yet, it’s interesting to observe that very often Magnus is in no rush to recover his sacrificed material, but instead continues to mobilize his forces.
GM Ron Henley calls this the concept of ”delayed gratification“. Magnus knows that piece activity usually outweighs material. One of his key strengths is to play with compensation when being material down.
This is a unique chance to learn about Magnus Carlsen’s playing style, his strengths, and weaknesses, how he approaches the openings plus the techniques he uses to outplay his opponents from seemingly drawn positions.
