The "Oh shit..." moment.

Post by BeyondCritics »

[d]r1br2k1/pp3ppp/2n1pn2/q1bp4/2P2B2/P1N1PN2/1PQ2PPP/3RKB1R w K - 3 11
This is a position from the second game of the world championship match between Carlsen and Caruana. Caruna with black had just played 10...Rd8!? and this move really scared Carlsen off and finally he responded with the tame 11.Be2, although after the match both players agreed that 11.Nd2 would have been critical.
The question posed is now: What was it, what Carlsen feared so much and what would have been objectively strongest?
According to some shallow stockfish lines, after 11.Nd2 11....dxc4 is the only move, with the forced sequence 12.Nxc4 Rxd1+ 12.Qxd1 Qd8 13.Qxd8 Nxd8 and better endgame for white.
I have seen no explicit explanation until today, so maybe you could be first 8-)

I don't know if I would call it a 'Oh Shit Moment', In game 2 Fabi was playing his opening moves quickly when compared to game 1. Probably because he (Fabi) wanted to save time for the more critical moments in the latter stages of the game. Carlsen on the other hand could not know if it was for this reason or a prepared novelty. My conclusion is he did not want to walk into an opening trap or a position where his opponent was better prepared.

PS: Leela thought Nd2 was a better move also.

Agreed, Carlsen was just avoiding his opponent's prep

The OP's title refers to Carlsen's own comments. When asked at the press conference, "You seemed surprised by Black's move 10. What were you thinking?" Carlsen replied "Well, 'Oh sh*t', mainly." He elaborated: "Basically, there are two main moves for Black, 10...Re8 and 10...Be7. It's kind of unpleasant to face a move that's clearly based on some very complicated variations and to be unprepared. I think there's a very clear parallel to one of the games between Korchnoi and Karpov from the world championship in 1978 where instead of 10...Rd8, 10...Re8 was the move that Karpov invented. And then Korchnoi actually thought for a long time and almost refuted the move over the board. Improvements have still been found for Black but he actually managed to find the solution there. The difference now is that I am facing not only an analytical team of Fabiano, himself and his helpers, but also his computer help. That makes the situation quite a bit different."

@zenpawn Thanks for clarifying this, my exposition could have been clearer.
So far nobody has solved this. I will post my analysis tomorrow.

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Nope, this is still not the right answer.
Hint: Imagine you are Magnus Carlsen and think like a chess player would. Then it is not so difficult...:wink:

I'm afraid I have forgotten to think like a chessplayer... But Kaissa luckily also can think of a more critical line for me, after 1.Nd2 It is not with dxc4, but she thinks the frightening 1..d4 would be at least as good as that, and now White will have to stay very cool and leave the Knight en prise. I imagine that Magnus would not like that? After that

Congratulation Eelco, you have correctly shown, that 11..d4!? might be a viable alternative.
I enjoyed it very much, when suddenly 11...d4!? emerged, so i decided to pose this puzzle so everyone had a chance to experience that too.
As promised, i post some preliminary lines:
