Carlsen makes a Boo Boo!: Aronian-Carlsen, 2006
These days, any "patzer" is familiar with the famous "Filidor/Lucena" R &P vs. Rook positions. However, when the clocks are ticking, it is not always that easy to pick a correct move. In the following example, Magnus Carlesen - the Norweigian wonderkid makes a tragic boo boo.Aronian - Carlsen (Moscow, 2006)
W. Ke7,Rd6,pe6
B. Kg7, Ra8
Black to Move......
The position is dead drawn. However, some accuracy is still required. Poor little Magnus continued with 73....Ra7+? and after 74.Ke8! he resigned 1-0. Can you see the path to the draw?
