Magnus, Hikaru, alireza all getting humbled in a single tournament... ❤

[@Iamnanabbi]

why ?

[@kolawolelawalson7770]

Yeah, a single tournament. Let's see how the rest of the tournaments will be.

[@adwoa180]

Bruh Magnus had only one loss unlike hikaru who lost multi times and if you think this is enough to humble players who have dominated the game for years then your mistaken

Wouldn't say Alireza, he didn't have a bad rapid at all, he was in play for podium till the last round

[@shubomb]

CBI dropping bangers with Hikaru's (not) greatest hits from this tournament, first with his loss to Hans and now losing to 1.a4. Some humbling will be good for Hikaru for his long term prospects.

[@Vikram-k4g]

Thats why top players dont play open tournaments . Lots of 2500-2600 have potential. But they dont get much opportunities . Previously a 2500 GM absolutely crushed Magnus in classical . And now in rapid as well , a 2500 gm defeated magnus . As a chess fan , its delightful to watch such games , seeing potential of such grandmasters.

[@MBMASTR]

Magnus could draw that rapid game easyli, but he pushed for win becouse of the tournament format.

[@MBMASTR]

I would say top players dont play open trounaments, becouse they have lot of their own tournaments.

[@post-humangod2575]

It's less about potential and more about Magnus getting older.

[@kylewilliams4490]

Ofcourse a 2500 can beat other top GM's in these formats. In multiple matches would be a different story I believe

[@MBMASTR]

[@MrFootofDavros]

It's a pity you cut a bit of the footage at 0:58 so we can't actually see Hikaru's initial reaction to A4.

[@rexdub1040]

Cut the only reason I clicked on this video

[@leandro6285]

I assume there was no reaction, and that's why they cut it. Hikaru seems like the kind of guy to bluff and seem not surprised

[@kabeerlatane9963]

It was pretty expected he'll go for a4 because of the ban

[@shrig018]

it seems he has truly embraced the streamer profession. sitting behind a screen and scrutinizing so loudly and then struggling OTB

[@shinyam75]

Yet he trashes Ding and Nepo when they play the world championship, belittling them for their play.

[@ChessLessonCoachAli]

sitting alone quite awhile at the end and smiling alone is epic

[@Nikolaijg]

The a4 pressure was constant throughout the whole game, its definitely not a disrespect move, gets people out of their prep and honestly i feel like it makes them underestimate you until the threat is knocking in their door

[@Rer113]

You also forgot to mention Jacobson had 4 brilliant moves in this game, which makes all this even crazier. Beating Hikaru with 4 brilliants and 1.a4. Has to be an immortal game for Brandon

A4 BS the curse of brandon jacobson has killed hikaru nakamura on this sad and depressing day of rapid chess

[@thesapphireking6282]

1) An 18 yo non established player wins the world championship ---> shorter formats are a better way to test chess skills, classical is just mugging moves. 2) Top players start getting crushed by some random 18 YOs in rapid and blitz. ---> Chess is dying, and random chess should be the right way of deciding world champion. Conclusion: start challenging the rules when someone overpowers you under the same rules you played for decades. When some ""world's best player"" won multiple wc titles, no one was questioning, now suddenly everyone woke up. 😂😂 Bloody clowns. Why no one supported fisher when he was ending his carrier, these so called top players were enjoying the taste of world champion title. 😂😂😂 Cry about it and fight with FIDE. That's the only way for you to stay relevant.

I've said multiple times, you can count on Hikaru to blunder a winning game. I know Hiakru wasn't winning, but if he can't beat an a4 opening, he doesn't deserve the WCC

[@thenakedsingularity]

Honestly that's a beautifully played game.

[@trumplostlol3007]

That a4 is obviously a move that required AI prep. The easiest way to play chess today is to use AI for prepping and to surprise your opponents using some rare openings that no human will use.
