  Magnus described Gukesh as constantly calculating, calculating lines he didn&apos;t even consider.

  &quot;Play a refuted line and call your opponent a cheater if he knows the refutation.&quot;

  I like how Gukish defended and detered the massive attack by bringing the king into the battlefield himself not by just hiding him and building a bunker of material around him.

  Ayyyy! The Ulvestad Defense is a really sick line, it can be really nice for Black.<br>However, there is one line that a super-aggressive WFM taught me that is pretty tricky and that I think should be covered at some point--after 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 b5, there is the shocking counterattack 6. Nc3!?, which she used to win a really nice game.
