Your opponent will probably spot them and defend. However he may choose to defend them in a suboptimal way, reducing his agency in the position. If he does that several times, it might be the case that he is so constrained that he will not be able to defend against your next threat. Why is Magnus so good at it? He is very precise, which means he can tell when a defense is imprecise. And he will ask you if you know it too. | |
