MAGGE THEME

A theme in problems where four black interferences are included by four possible moves of two black pawns. The two pawns, by the very conditions, must stand on their original squares (BCM 55/245).

If I’m thinking for more than 20 minutes about one move, it’s usually a waste. Sometimes you can come up with some amazing solution but most of the time you just end up looping: you consider a move, you reject it, then you’re desperate, you come back to the move, you don’t remember why you rejected it, you have to make a move so you make it – then your opponent replies and you remember why you rejected it. The longest wait I ever did between moves was one hour and five minutes – and the move was horrible. Magnus Carlsen
