Aronian Tricks Carlsen By Offering His Poisoned Queen

In this video I am analyzing a very dramatic rapid game played between reigning World Chess Champion GM Magnus Carlsen and Armenian GM Levon Aronian! From the opening, London System, Carlsen gets a preferable, active position with nice chances of converting it into an advantage! But soon Carlsen erroneously chooses a line, which though from afar looks like an easy win, but detailed analysis shows that the line is losing for White! Aronian who had calculated one move ahead confidently gains advantage! Carlsen wins opponent’s queen but Aronian who answers opponent’s check with a check gets a huge advantage! In the end of the video as usual you can solve the daily puzzle!
