Carlsen pushes f4 and the kingside tension is real. Commentators split on whether Black should strike with ...d5 now or sit tight.
...d5 looks scary but the engine bar barely moves. This is a human-pressure position, not a tactical one.
Respectfully disagree. The endgame after the queen trade is not as drawish as it looks — White's outside passer decides:
Honestly the queen trade just kills the game. Dead equal, both sides shuffle for 20 moves and split the point.
Hot take after three rounds of the Open: the Italian is the new Berlin. Nobody is getting an advantage with white below 2700, but everybody is comfortable. The score, not the game.
Endgame technique appreciation post. The king walk from g1 to b6 is the whole plan. Patience over fireworks.
