Magnus Carlsen shocks Hikaru with a brand new opening in one of their latest Titled Tuesday matches on Chess.com! This new opening from Magnus Carlsen was so shocking, Hikaru nearly LOSES IT during the game! I've decided to name this Magnus Carlsen new opening the "Norwegian Kangaroo" for reasons you will soon discover!
In the game Hikaru opens 1.e4 (best by test!) and Magnus Carlsen responds with 1...a6 - the St. George Defense, and a very disrespectful irst move at the highest level. From there Hikaru takes control of the center with d2-d4 and Magnus responds 2...Nc6, intending 3.d5 Na7! From there the game gets even weirder, with Magnus Carlsen busting out his new opening idea vs Hikaru on the very next move!
To everyone's shock, Hikaru did not react correctly to Magnus Carlsen's new opening, and the game quickly descended into chaos with Magnus Carlsen launching an all-out attack against Hikaru and Hikaru doing his best to defend against Carlsen's constant threats! There were many more twists and turns to the game, so make sure to watch till the very end of this video to see all of the new ideas from Magnus Carlsen's new opening variation (The Norwegian Kangaroo!).
