How To Beat Magnus Carlsen is a New In Chess chess book by Cyrus Lakdawala that studies the rare moments when Magnus Carlsen loses, draws under pressure, or misses the best plan.
The book begins with a series of Magnus wins and draws to show how difficult he is to beat. It highlights his concentration and calculation, near-perfect intuition, probably the best endgame technique ever, a wide and creative opening repertoire, a willingness to unbalance positions, and his unparalleled will to win. The thematic structure and Lakdawala’s accessible style make the lessons easy to follow.
This collection also includes the game that ended the longest non-losing streak in classical chess history: more than two years and 125(!) games, ending when Jan-Krzysztof Duda beat Magnus Carlsen at the Altibox tournament in Stavanger on October 10, 2020.
