I missed a win against Carlsen!

Can you spot it?

Magnus Carlsen is often called as the GOAT (greatest of all times) of chess and the only reason we cannot state it undisputedly as a fact is a certain Garry Kasparov... Anyway, playing against one of the GOATs is perhaps a once in a lifetime experience and this is something I'm quite happy to share, even if it left a bit of a bittersweet feeling at the end.

As Magnus is the king of speed chess, too, he quite often participates in Titled Tuesday tournaments. It is also my favourite fixture on Tuesdays and last year, on May 6th after starting with 2/2 points, I was lucky enough to be paired against him. Let's see how the game evolved:

I hope you enjoyed this game as much as I did! Was it easy to find 14.Ba3? And by the way, who do you think is the GOAT: Magnus or Garry? Let me know in comment!
