Magnus Carlsen sacrifices the queen and trolling Daniil Dubov by playing moves like a5 and h6 while his opponent suffers the complete zugzwang position. The game was played during Chessable Master 2020 tournament and it's covered only by the best youtube chess channels. It doesn't happen often that we have zugzwang and Queen Sacrifice Magnus Carlsen does in single game. Anyway he got very interesting position in Semi Slav Defense, where he played very precisely from the beginning to the very end. That's definitely one of the greatest Magnus Carlsen chess games 2020.
