CBM Special: My favourite young Carlsen game
For our anniversary edition CBM 200, we invited our authors to annotate their favourite game by Magnus Carlsen played in the period prior to his becoming World Champion in 2013. Some of those are linked with personal memories - Mateus Bartel, Michal Krasenkow and Yannik Pelletier even picked encounters in which they faced the aspiring Norwegian themselves! It's fascinating to see how the future World Champion developed his skills, displaying seemingly unpretentious (but very deep!) opening treatment, superb positional understanding and of course his grinding abilities in the ending. Enjoy!

Anish Giri and Jorden van Foreest took the top positions with 8.5 out of 13. Both comment on their best games, as do Nils Grandelius, Harikrishna Pentala, Jan-Krzysztof Duda and Radoslaw Wojtaszek.

Opening traps
In the spirit of this anniversary issue the Top Ten traps are presented to you - from Rainer Knaak’s personal point of view. This special selection contains of course above all old favourites two relatively new traps which a few years ago were only known to a few insiders. Three traps are also presented in in video.
“The Classic”
With Von Brühl - Philidor (London 1783), Dorian Rogozenco chose an “absolutely impressive” game from the 18th century for the anniversary issue of CBMagazine. The German national coach was particularly impressed by Philidor's prophylactic approach, which was unusual for the time. His play shows again and again that prevention of the opponent’s activity has top priority - which, however, did not always allow him to find the objectively best continuation in the game. Moreover, Rogozenco points out that the strategic principle of consistently playing against one weakness is explored in great style, forcing victory in the endgame.
“Carlsen’s strategy”
Mihail Marin traces the world champion's extraordinary strategical understanding on the basis of various aspects such as surprising piece trajectories, pawn breaks followed by invasion et al.
Including several training tasks and an introductory video!
"Move by Move"
Simon Williams has chosen a game by the young Magnus Carlsen for his interactive video, fitting the main topic of this issue. In the game Carlsen-Gronn from the Norwegian Championship 2005, the rising star was only 15 years old. In this game Carlsen showed his tactical side and consistently punished his opponent for his careless play in the opening – the game was over with a mate in move 24. Show that you can play like Magnus Carlsen by putting his moves on the board!
Tactics: “Killer queen on h5”
Oliver Reeh’s tactics contribution contains 33 games, peppered with lots of training tasks. Including three interactive videos!
