Greetings, dear chess fans, and experts! This is FIDE Master Max Omariev with you. And today we will witness perhaps the most genius first move in the history of Fischer random chess. This move was performed, of course, by the world champion Magnus Carlsen in Fischer Random World Championship.
We'll look at the game between Hikaru Nakamura and Magnus Carlsen. In their first minimatch, Hikaru Nakamura played white, and he plays B3. For those who don't know what Fischer random chess is, I'll clarify it just in case. Because people often ask why the chess pieces are arranged so strangely. The difference from the classical chess is precisely in the fact that here the arrangement is random. There are 960 variations on how the pieces may originally stand. That's why this kind of chess is also called Chess 960. This is done in order to eliminate the factor of memorizing openings, so that already from the first moves an independent game began. And that's why already with the first move, Magnus Carlsen simply amazed the whole world. Let's see. You are probably already in anticipation of what he did.
