Featured is an exciting Armageddon game with live commentary between Arjun Erigaisi and Magnus Carlsen from the semi-finals of the 2025 Chessable Masters. Carlsen, bid the lower time (6:56), so he got to play black with that time and he has draw odds. The opening is a King’s Indian Attack formation where we observe opposite sides castling, with both players pawn storming. This Armageddon game was played on February 19th.

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
