He didn't miss it though - if he had, he would have taken the rook. No one at their level misses something like this in these games. This stuff is obvious to much much weaker players than Ian.

- loh 5y agoIf he was aware of it, he would not have allowed it occur to begin with. He was counting on Magnus to move the rook and was very visibly surprised when Magnus left the rook in place.
