Magnus very seldom analyzes games with opponents for this long. Immensely classy of him to share his thoughts with the young Woodward

Played against Andy when he was 12 years old; at the time, his rating was around 2500 🙂
Very talented player and a nice guy !

Magnus instinct immediately knew to sac the piece to create complications due to opponents less time on clock.

I also hope Magnus will play Queen's Indian defence more often......No me on top level ever uses Queen's Indian defence.

Played Andy in 2017 when he was 7. He was 1300 at that time. I caught him at the right time and won.

They both moved pieces in an interesting manner: they drop the piece, than take it again and a bit "correct" position of the piece. Fischer used to do so when replaying positions while reading chess books. This manner reveals extreme enjoyment in play. But it is also dangeorius: it defies the touch-move rule!
