MVL had 1hr more than magnus. Magnus was on 30sec for most of the endgame. Nail-biting stuff

The situation on the clock should really be mentioned here! Magnus was down by almost an hour for much of the middle game, and was playing with less than a minute on the clock for most of that extremely complicated endgame that even the commentators couldn't understand. So while the game ultimately ended in a draw, Magnus definitely played a more impressive game here!

[@DagarMan0]

don't get me wrong, it is impressive, but he can use the opponents time to think as well. that he found the best responses to everything mvl did even with that being considered is still insane!

[@Sam-gd1yz]

y was he down so much on time?

[@GrabnarMyers]

Bro. Wtf. Spoiler warning

[@Iksvomid]

But did they start with the same time or?

[@orsdekany2594]

@@DagarMan0 MVL probably played fast too, so he wont let Magnus think on his own time, thats why he missed atleast the first pause the video moment. He might have even found the second one, but if you are not sure a position is winning, or you have a winning move, you might just play for the time, and thats defenatly what happened here

[@mikeholland6750]

"when has maxime ever defended a pawn?" interestingly he frequently defends pawns in winning positions and lets the win slip away

[@anwarsaber6184]

well i partially agree with you .. not fair to say that this happens frequently but it happened many times to Maxime . However he's still my favorite player .. always willing to play the most aggressive line .. always going for the most dangerous move .. and of course always accepting sacrifices that many players may be afraid of accepting

[@AkramSaheb]

@@claudiog7692 many of his recent Games

[@hoetre]

He didn't "lets the win slip away", understanding why gxh is winning (rather than any other move) is just out of human comprehension. Vlad Tchakiev (in French) explained that to win from this, with perfect play from Magnus, you have to go through an endgame (rook+pawn in h5 vs bishop) that require a sequence of 14 only-move to keep the win. MVL had the lead for sure, but was never "winning" from a human perspective. Of course, amazing play for Magnus who managed to never do "human" mistakes with 1 min on the clock.

[@carlkligerman1981]

Medo has better things to do for standard openings, but when it gets in thickets is always up for learning some new lines

[@chukwujekwuezike976]

This was really nail-biting. With Magnus so low on time; having less than a minute and still showing measurable accuracy. He really showed he is a god in the endgame.

If Carlsen lost, which he very nearly did, it would’ve been his first classical loss with white in 5 years.

[@juliocadavid6640]

He lost with white against aronian. He first lose with black so he kinda threw a game against aronian with the white pieces rounds after I think thats the tata steel van forest won or some other but he did lost a game with white after the 123 games undefeated's record's end.

[@weeooh1]

Top GM end games very complex stuff. I remember Magnus commenting on other players end game where after a quick glance he said one side has a won position, but none of the players knew that or spotted it.

[@devadathans5506]

Its easy for even other GMs to say if one side is better or not, but when playing, they have to consider every possibility of opponent's attack and also, even if they find the best move, they hae to look for better. Playing and commentating are two different things.

What a game!! And I'm so happy I found the winning move for the first time ever and then on the second time as well! At first I was shocked that MVL didn't play it, but ofc I hadn't calculated everything after gxh4, so Agad's explanation made me understand why MVL didn't go for it

[@juliocadavid6640]

Few minutes when he was really losing but then hes just magnus

[@alnazeerbasheer1099]

Doesn't matter that's mean Magnus in trouble to manage MVL threats , so defiantly he was lucky to hold with drew

[@juliocadavid6640]

@@alnazeerbasheer1099 He wasnt lucky to hold the draw. Thats skilled. He was lucky that MVL didn convert. Can you see the difference. The good thing is that it wasnt an easy winning convertion so magnus had his chances when MVL couldnt convert. There are easy converting games where magnus wouldve lost most likely but here, luckely MVL had a hard position to convert. Other that lucky, MVL couldve thought a bit more the first chance he had but he didnt think too much maybe cause he didnt recognize the position as a -3 or the opposite, thought that it was a bit easier to convert, his mistake. But to hold the 0,0 wasnt lucky, the lucky part was to get it by MVL blunderred. Then after MVL blunderred came the hardest, and not lucky, to hold it

[@deimos2126]

that intro though "MVL greatest Grünefeld expert and Magnus... just a strong player overall :D"

[@debarchanbose3912]

He means Magnus is not specialised in any opening. Magnus's specialization is same in all openings which isn't a lie though.

[@deimos2126]

@@debarchanbose3912 yes of course we all know Magnus's incredibly vast repertoire, I just underlined the way Agadmator put it, which is quite fun given the understatement it represents

[@yildiraykomurcu]

Supermasters must have a hunch if the position is winning or not. Maxim had a 1 hour time advantage. If you have a hunch that the position is winning, you slow down and calculate till the very end. Once you find the absolute win, best responses don’t make a difference, time is no longer a factor. Maxim played on Magnus’ time and didn’t believe his position is winning.

[@markrobertson3054]

Nope. He had 1 hour and magnus had 1 minute After the end , mvl had 7 minutes magnus had 40 sec. So he thought.

[@yildiraykomurcu]

@@markrobertson3054 He thought long in a drawn position. Not in winning position.

[@yildiraykomurcu]

@@markrobertson3054 After 48. Be6, Maxim had 35 min and Magnus 38 s and a winning position. Maxim thought for only 2 minutes in this position only to find a drawn move. Similarly after 60. Rg6, Maxim had 20 min vs Magnus 43 s and Maxim thought for about 2 minutes again to spoil the winning game.

[@cptnoremac]

I found the winning line during the last PtV moment, but instead of Bd8+ I just played g2 then Bb6. I played it out vs Stockfish and it gave up the rook for the pawn. I don't see any point in throwing in that extra check.

[@velmurugandon1241]

I did see the correct move of the first "pause the video moment" (which I rarely do), but I'm far from certain that I would've had the precision to press the pawn home to a queen after making the move. Precision isn't exactly my middle name.
