It’s about time for Radjabov! He finally won one.
carlsen didn’t play accuratly at allllllllllllllllll
That;s hardly a point: one never plays accurate when one loses.
so, if i understand well, when someone says ” it’s a blunder ” , it doesn’t mean anything, right ?
there is a difference between losing a game because one won this game, and lose it because you made an giant mistake …

Hello Group,
Seems to me that 19 … Rxd1, allowing white to penetrate on the d-file and 8th rank, was the big mistake. Instead, something like …Bb6 looks fine, with an equal position, despite White having the 2 bishops.
Easy to be an armchair quarterback!
Good luck against Aronian Magnus!
