Commentators thought it was Duda that deserved applause, but Magnus' position seemed more difficult to play

I was there, this was the final game of the tournament and also the longest game and most exciting, the applause was for both of them, because of the best game we saw there, because of Magnus's win in the tournament and for Duda, because he is our best polish player

Audience was clapping because this game clinched tournament victory for Magnus, not necessarily because of his play in this particular endgame (although that was obviously impressive too).

@@raunakmani9843 We can also see how the kings are set in the center. Usually by the position in game you can tell, but if you couldn't then check for kings. If one king is in white square and another in black. Then DRAW. If both kings in Black Square in the Center of the Board, then Black won. If Both kings in the White square of the center of the Board then White Won.

[@MrYoumitube]

Maybe 1 out of the 30 moves Magnus made I would have done the same.

[@DavidEmerling79]

Prior to Magnus making the first move we seen in this video, b3, I loaded that position into Stockfish. It has white with a very, very slight advantage, +0.17. It's roughly an equal position. Stockfish's third choice is the move Magnus made, b3. That leads to complete equality, 0.00. Stockfish thinks he should've played Rab3, moving his rook in *front* of his b-pawn. Still, it is roughly equal. There is no "winning" move.

Why is this a draw? Each player still has enough material to win.

Insufficient material is not the only reason why a game is drawn. There are positions where neither side can make any progress, and nullifying eachother's (theoretical) winning chances becomes trivial. Like in tic-tac-toe.

[@probro8284]

after 1.b4, black can play 1...Rxb4 or 1...Bxb4. (1...Bxb4 2.Rb3 Re5+ ...and then black can safe his bishop). However, the resulting endgame is still a draw. Maybe Duda wanted to keep it a bit more complicated, thinking he can not lose this but has a little time advantage. With more material on the board he has more tactics available. I would have captured on b4, but I guess black has sufficient compensation if he does not capture on b4. (there are potential tactics in the air like at some point ...Rb2+ Rd2 RxR KxR Bxf2 possible with keeping more material on the board). Difficult decision, and it cost Duda quite some time.

can someone explain why was it a draw? newbie here. thanks

[@yvanquicoy7448]

because with perfect play. Black cant promote his pawn and white will just move his rook anywhere

[@kokonut5498]

Im not grandmaster but it seems like the e4 pawn cannot be saved by the king or bishop so rook will just take that pawn on the next turn and then maybe trade off the rook for black's last pawn and would result in insufficient material draw because a king and bishop vs king cannot create checkmate

[@baselkhadem3441]

Because white will sacrifice the rook to take the pawn... once the pawn is gone, black will only have king and Bishop and they can't mate the white king

[@mickybadia]

What exactly made them all realise the game was over at once? Was a 3-time-rep called by an off-cam ref?

[@cycloneeye9416]

black's winning chances relied on those 2 pawns promoting. magnus' sole defensive idea is to stop that. in the last position the black king was too far away to defend e4, so magnus took with the rook and eventually the other pawn will fall as well, which leaves only kings and Rook vs bishop which is a theoretical draw
