Lesson 16: The Magnus Effect

In this lesson we went over one of the famous games of Magnus Carlsen where he, at 12 years age,  defeated Sipke Ernst with an aggressive attack. See the full game at: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1272702 and maybe search the game on youtube for some video commentary by strong players.

In class we had students voice the players. I wanted the voices to be "chess accurate" when called upon. In the event of a sacrifice, the attacking player might say something like "I may lose this rook, but your king is now less safe."

We'll probably try this again next week!
