This format highlights the superior chess understanding of Magnus over his contemporaries. In my view, he is the GOAT of modern chess, even better than Fischer, Kasparov and Karpov, who were phenomenally successful because of their great opening preparation. Magnus, on the other hand, can outplay anyone from any dynamically equal (even slightly inferior) position due to his superior understanding of the game.

[@JsoProductionChannel]

Which he also proved by winning the GOAT challange in 960chess

[@martinevensen406]

Magnus kicks everybody's ass

[@MrSupernova111]

You can't directly compare skills of different generations. Of course, modern players know more. They learned from the previous masters!! However, Magnus hasn't been nearly as dominant as Kasparov in longevity nor as dominant as Fischer in skill gap between himself and #2. Fischer steamrolled everyone that was put in front of him in ways that Magnus can only dream about. So no, Magnus is not the GOAT by any meaningful standard other than he's the most recent #1.

[@rajsub3884]

Magnus also has acess to superior engine Kasparov Karpov fisher you can't compare era as they never played one another at their peak at each era they were very dominating

[@kamalofdeka]

Forget other comments....some are stupid magnus haters ( or biased about his power as he PROBABLY is better than Kasparov, Fischer and Karpov and they have these as role model and they can't accept Magnus surpassing their idols at any cost ) .

[@Kazamanian]

Good comment!

[@leerobbo92]

If you want to put into perspective how ridiculous Carlsen's mind is: Magnus was interviewed after the game. He not only remembered that he'd already seen the position, but he correctly guessed that it was a Steinitz game. He had quite literally figured out that first move years, potentially decades, before this game.

[@erhhsdhh2099]

He’s unreal. Memory, understanding of the game, creativity, ability under pressure, longevity and consistency across different formats- he has it all. The way he plays is just so special. People have nostalgia bias towards older players like Morphy or Capablanca- who whilst they are legends themselves no doubt, chess theory has evolved so much since then and Magnus will know more. The goat of chess easily

The reason is vishy plays positional chess(as it saves having to calculate so much, he calculates only when he feels it's needed but since time was less and sudden complex game was given and he played black in tough position he kinda overlooked), he expected the black to have played in such a way that queen was not trapped, Magnus is young calculates everything!

[@GR3392.]

[@AlcatrazHR]

I don't get it. If Magnus loses the rook and Vishy loses the knight, they remain with: Magnus: 6 pawns, queen, knight, bishop - 21 point Vishy: 7 pawns, 2 rooks, bishop - 20 points Why resign in that position?!

[@user-ee1lo1il3f]

it's not about material at that point. it's already dead lost. black has literally zero development and not even a good way to start it. some lines you'll also lose the rook on f8 e.g. after dxc exd cxd Be7. white also has all kinds of mating ideas e.g. Bf6 - obviously you can't take, and if you don't take, well queen is still coming and it's just hopeless.

[@SAIPRADEEP070]

thats bcos in 3=3 always. value of pieces is dynamic 3 pawns is not equal to say a bishop or a knight when things get critical. U can sacrifice ur queen for pawn that is spawining a new queen at the other of the board on the 7th row. so now that pawn is equal to 9 points already and with much better position may be.

[@light-water]

This is actually a very interesting variation. I imagine Carlsen, with his insane memory, probably knows a lot of these positions, but still. We get to watch them enter into the minds of a different player.

[@noobchessplayer7367]

i think they have to include 2 games of fischer random and 2 games of casablanca variation to world championship to determine the world champ…it’s very exciting only 4 games classical, 2 games rapid and 2 blitz

[@markdavis7397]

There is at least some logic to including Fischer Random, but "finishing somebody else's game" will always be entertainment, not really serious competition.

[@von615v]

If I had to explain. All he had to do after the Queen Check, Anand had to trade Black Knight for Magnus White Bishop. Then Magnus would either Trade with Queen or White Knight. If Queen, Anand could have Forked Magnus Black Knight and Rook with Queen on b2. However if Magnus Traded with White Knight instead, Anand would have to move Queen to e2 while threatening the pawn. Magnus will move his Knight on d2 with the Knight and Queen protecting the pawn. Then Anand would have to force Bishop on b7 off that square because that is the strongest piece in position. Even if Magnus threats the Queen with Rook that is on d5, Anand can move his Queen to a7 and she will be safe.
