Magnus Carlsen IS NOT HUMAN! Shocks Praggnanandhaa w/ INSANE Grunfeld Defense! (Magnus = Chess GOAT)

Magnus Carlsen proved he is truly NOT HUMAN by shocking the Indian chess superstar Praggnanandhaa with some insane attacking chess in the Grunfeld Defense at the 2022 Charity Cup Chess Tournament! This game was truly special because the young Praggnanandhaa went for a very aggressive line of the Grunfeld Exchange Variation where he sacrificed a pawn on the a2 square in the opening!

In the game Praggnanandhaa opens with 1.d4 and Magnus Carlsen responds with 1...Nf6 - the Indian Defense! (Oh the irony!). From there Maguns opts for the Grunfeld Defense against Praggnanandhaa, and Pragg responds with the exchange variation with a fast Be3 and short castles. From there Praggnanandhaa sacrifices the a2-pawn vs Magnus Carlsen, and in return Praggnanandhaa gets very fast development and attacking chances against Magnus!

Of course it was Magnus who ended up attacking Praggnanandhaa, as he opened up files on the queenside and was soon attacking Pragg's king! I don't want to give away the ending, but you just have to see how this game ended!
