♕ Game of a Genius: 13-year-old Magnus Carlsen’s Aggressive Play – https://goo.gl/JBZwxd

Nowadays many chess players have this ‘fear’ for stronger opponents and as a result, they often end up losing their games. The game analyzed in this video was played by the 13-year-old Magnus Carlsen against GM Sergey Dolmatov in the 3rd Aeroflot Festival, 2004.

Practically speaking, Carlsen was a much weaker and less experienced player than his opponent – nevertheless, the courageous kid played aggressively and beat an opponent who was much stronger than him!

You can find the PGN of this game in the link given above.
