A look at the recent Queen Sac that floored Carlsen.

I was not going to touch this as it’s popping up everywhere but
I found a Red Hot Pawn game with the same pattern and idea.
This is a good game, one of the best RHP games I have posted.

What I’m listening too during lock in.

Someone, possibly Rudolf Spielmann, once said of Alekhine words to the effect of: "I understand all his combinations perfectly and could execute them myself. It's how he gets into a position to be able to launch them I don't understand."

It was a bit like that with the Carlsen game. I watched Eric Rosen's video on it, and admittedly it was flagged by knowing there was a queen sacrifice, Rosen talking about stopping the King escape, and him saying: "This is the last move.", but even so I saw it in about 1/4 of a second. The problem is I'd never have played 12. c4, so after the knight's taken the pawn falls and the sacrifice isn't on...

I was really excited in one of my recent games on here to spot a neat queen sacrifice but unfortunately didn't get a chance to play it.

Also not really happy about that Carlsen game as now I'm probably going to see a lot more 3. Nf3 when I play the Scandinavian 🙂

As I said all Centre Counter players are booked up to the eyelids v 3.Nc3.

More bad news:

1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qa5 4.b4!? was played recently at the top level


White won in 14 moves. So you will start seeing that very soon as well.
