Game 6 about to start

Finally it’s e4 from Magnus Carlsen
Just to show how difficult the win was, see chess legend Garry Kasparov’s response, when asked if he would have spotted it in a game at his peak.
The computer shows Black wins with 68…Bh4 here. But had Caruana played the incredible 69. Bd5 Ne2 70.Bf3 Ng1!! they would request metal detectors immediately! No human can willingly trap his own knight like that. pic.twitter.com/ypBjXv3QCA

Would you have found it under those conditions and at the peak of your form?

No. If given that position as a “moves and wins” study, perhaps eventually with process of elimination. But as with many long tablebase wins there’s no obvious logic to the initial sequence to help you. https://t.co/e60xl0nBan
