In Magnus Wins With White Grandmaster Zenon Franco deeply analyses 32 of Magnus Carlsen8217s most instructive games where he wins with the white pieces This book is written in 8220move by move8221 style, a good training tool containing exercises and tests This format is a great platform for studying chess, improving both skills and knowledge, as the reader is continually challenged to find the best moves and the author provides answers to probing questions throughout Most of the games are taken from Magnus8217s recent career, including one from 2020 and eight from 2019 His opponents are nearly all supergrandmasters, and they include former world champions Viswanathan Anand and Vladimir Kramnik, as well as Wesley So, Maxime VachierLagrave, Alexander Grischuk, Levon Aronian, Boris Gelfand, and, naturally, Anish Giri In the majority of these games, Magnus demonstrates his ability to outplay his opponents in the middlegame by simply making stronger moves and applying constant pressure that eventually forces the opponent to crack and play weaker moves In some games, however, this takes place in the endgame A second book, Magnus Wins With Black, is forthcoming With a foreword by Magnus Carlsens Chief Second and Coach Peter Heine Nielsen
