Breathtaking ARMAGEDDON!!! – Alireza vs Magnus – Julius Baer Generations Cup GRANDFINAL

The Julius Baer Generation Cup 2023 is the fifth event of this year’s Champions Chess Tour by Chess.com and will be played online from the 30th of August to the 3rd of September.

Division 1 is held as a 8-player Double Elimination tournament, featuring some of the world’s strongest Super Grandmasters like Magnus Carlsen, Alireza Firouzja & Fabiano Caruana and a total prize fund of $112,500.

The time control is 15 minutes for the whole game with a 3-second increment from move one.

Each round consists of four-game matches in the Winners Bracket and two-game matches in the Losers Bracket.

In case of a tie, a bidding armageddon game with a 15-minute base time decides the outcome of the round.

(4/4) On another note I could do with some tips on how to get a good sleep. It seems like I am a fully fledged insomniac. 😵‍💫
I was in bed at 1am last night but didn't even manage to get 1 minutes sleep after tossing and turning all night. Been awake for about 40 hours now. 😱

(3/4) I missed one very likely obvious winning move.
Here I played Bg2? but I should just play Qh6!
For some reason I had missed ...Qxh6 Bxh6 ...Nxc3 a3! Which is game over.
In the end I lost 😔 after Johann played excellently.

♘ Chess Quotes

“Self-confidence is very important. If you don’t think you can win, you will take cowardly decisions in the crucial moments, out of sheer respect for your opponent. You see the opportunity but also greater limitations than you should. I have always believed in what I do on the chessboard, even when I had no objective reason to. It is better to overestimate your prospects than underestimate them.”
