Vincent Keymer and Abasov both trusted Magnus in critical positions . 😊

[@pubgone-iw7bz]

I think u are trusting engine too much in Vincent game I agree but in this game without engine no one would have considered qf1 it's so easy to see y qf1 is best move but in over the board that move won't come in ur radar

[@FantasyFantasy934]

@@pubgone-iw7bz ngl, that was the first move I thought of and wouldve played. But i didnt know it was the winnjng move

[@Shiiinnne]

​@@FantasyFantasy934same Magnus been blundering all the games. The Magnus effect is real. But it wouldnt matter in the finals

[@toSirius]

@@pubgone-iw7bz The Magnus effect will become weaker. His opponents do not yet count on such mistakes from Magnus. You don't believe that Keymer or Abasov would need an engine if they had checked the position. For example, Keymer did not even consider Nxe4 (and magnus is out) ... precisely because of the Magnuseffect. same by Qf1 for Abasov. Everybody need some "Luck" for win such a strong Tourney

[@P.sherman45]

​@pubgone-iw7bz you are wrong Abasov spotted the idea actually. His idea of going Rg6 was to follow up with Qf1 and Rg2 winning the game. He just did the move order wrong. Qf1 is not a hard move to spot since you only need to calculate 2-3 moves ahead. It wasn't a long variation

[@harrisonedokpayi3647]

This competition was over when Magnus survived the match against Vincent Keiymer. He's going to win the cup!

[@sandyplayz6713]

Magnus has to go through Fabiano which won't be easy

[@jacobwatson3781]

I'm slightly worried about Pragg. Magnus is the favorite but Pragg just doesn't wear down and he waits for the ever so small advantage.

[@kenoliver8913]

Yep, far too early to call. Magnus is still the highest rated player in the world, but losses are happening a bit more frequently than they were a few years ago - he is clearly a little past his peak. So I wouldn't write either Prag or Fabio off yet - on current form Prag, especially, is a big threat.

[@stevemd6488]

Beautiful game by Magnus

[@superappendicitis]

Love the idea of pausing the video and trying to find a win for Nijat while driving

[@ndnd7614]

Magnus effect taking place, Abasov didn’t even look or realise there is a potential win.

Let them play 9LX. There will be no Magnus effect considering how much Magnus sucks at 9LX. Lol

What a wild game. Magnus always goes for the crazy openings against significantly weaker opponents. He really goes all in and gives them a chance to outplay him in an equal, crazy game, out of any theory whatsoever.

[@kenoliver8913]

He says he's a bit bored with classical. This is clearly a method of stopping that boredom.

[@kaldrazadrim]

Magnus controlled this whole game. It seems like he disrespected young Nijat with his aggressive play, leaving pawns hanging, just to get him out of book and play real chess. The GOAT got what he wanted and destroyed him.

[@demon2Maxwell]

I played against Abasov in a simultan tournement

[@peters616]

Magnus didn't see Qf1 because he believed Nijat was focused on his rook. It would have taken a different line of thinking for either of them to see that move. Magnus' subsequent Kb4 move deserved at least one ! - that was the point of no return in the game absent a blunder.

[@heavenyeahh1196]

Hi can anyone tell why at 12:30 king cant capture on a7? The white rook is locked the black king can go to a8 and move right and escape. Why he didnt capture?

[@heavenyeahh1196]

If white queen checks f2 bk goes to b8 and there is no check. If white queen checks on c7, bk goes to a8 then bk escapes or its perpetual.
