An annotated collection of 42 Magnus Carlsen games chosen for their instructive value.

Ukrainian grandmaster Martyn Kravtsiv – born within days of Carlsen and shaped by the same chess generation – annotates each game from a modern perspective. In every game he picks out a 'Magnus Moment': the special insight that sets the world champion apart, whether it is clarifying a messy situation, sacrificing for practical chances, or simply making the opponent's life hard regardless of the objective assessment. Each game becomes a themed lesson, with most of the book devoted to the fight for advantage and initiative in the middlegame, plus separate chapters on opening ideas, endgames and human factors. Martyn Kravtsiv is a grandmaster from Lviv, with tied 1st places at Cappelle 2012, the 2015 Ukrainian Championship, and representation for Ukraine at the 2017 World Team Championship.
