Study the classics... or, even better, Magnus' games! This is Carlsen-Aronian, from round 7 in the Blitz wch, a jewel.

Not common that we see something Magnus hasn't. The GOAT to play and win agains MVL yesterday at CCT Semifinal's last game. #chess #tactics

Today's puzzle is purely positional. What did #Carlsen play with black against #Jobava in Moscow in 2019? Maybe not the only good move, but for sure the one that makes more sense for a human. #chess #positional-puzzle
