Whatever you say about his Sarcasm, humor & a slightly erratic behavior at a time, but if I ever get a chance to befriend any of the Top GMs in this world, I will always choose Anish. He's total package of Fun, Seriousness, Brilliant Chess, On Point Sarcasm & mischief. Good Lad. Always love watching him. Magnus is also the same, but sometimes he can get unpredictable regarding his mood. That's not the case with Anish, he's always up for light hearted fun chit chat.

Magnus falling apart, Hikaru getting COVID and not playing day 2, really sad situation for the Blitz Kings ☹️

[@konachan01]

Magnus losing his "triple crown status" perhaps will make him rethink his comments on not defending his world champion title unless it is Alireza. Sometimes being the best makes you forget that there are plenty of competition with more than capable players to give you a challenge.

[@livinvincent3418]

When Magnus made that comment he didn't mean that the other players are not good enough for him. His point was that he had beaten players from the previous generation and current generation, so he doesn't need to prove that he is a champion player again and again by taking part in the World Chess Championship. He knows very well that the championship is a high-pressure event and not a walk in the park, regardless of who the opponent is. His point was that it is not worth absorbing all that pressure for the title, when there is nothing more to prove. However, with Alireza, there is a question -- Is Magnus better than the best player of the next generation? He thinks that might motivate him to play one more championship match.

[@sgc3594]

You're wrong about what he meant, he said it doesn't matter if it's not alireza, if it's not from the next generation of players, he doesn't enjoy the time format enough to continue. If someone doesn't like the time format and they don't need the championship to make money, why would they still continue if they have no passion for that format? Has nothing to do with just Alireza.

[@TrollMeister_]

Pride cometh before a fall : He basically implied the only person worthy of challenging him for the next world title is Alireza; the 'less worthy' he would refuse to play. Now a string of defeats at the hands of less worthy players.

[@feelcollins4358]

chill, it's blitz not classical chess where you really need deep calculation.

[@tapion1998]

Its blitz, for some this isnt even considered "real" chess. And no, he did not imply that. He implied that he has no interest in the very specific event under the very specific format that is the world championship, where he has no interest in playing any of the "older" generation guys, but would only be motivated enough to go through the stress the world championship brings, if his opponent is Alireza, because he is the face of the "new" generation and, one day, of the new world champion.

[@neerajnongmaithem392]

It's just blitz and it's all about form. We all know that if anyone plays 90 mins of blitz with magnus then it's most likely that he will have a plus score. He has a plus score in blitz against most of top super GM's.

[@harshitkaushik3715]

I think the reason he said that might be the fact that preparation for World Championship takes a lot of effort. And he is looking forward to having a young player as challenger.

classic exchange sac on an empty square to blunt the diagonal, it seems like a pattern that most experienced players would play in a heartbeat. if taken, white gets to straighten out his structure + obtain a protected passed pawn with extra space sometimes it's hard to judge imbalances and whether these benefits outweigh having 2 rooks in such a dangerous open-ish position, but it seemed clear to magnus
