not really since the position was played that means players will reference and have understanding of the position already

[@ravivaradhan4956]

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 ) . What you said seems very much perfect, at least I am 💯 percent agree with you

[@59sharmanalin]

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!

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

[@qfgerg5775]

i find this concept even better than chess 960, it could be very competitive, a random equal position picked by an ia with at least 6 pieces (not counting the king) that would be great to follow

[@BREAKocean]

It would be cool have a lot of gambits being played as the opening where the position is equal.

[@kkstb97]

I think the time was too little for the best moves to be calculated. It should be 30 mins maybe. The quality of the moves may drastically improve then. Like in this game it was definitely much difficult to play as black, ( moves were difficult to find as black) time taking.

[@BREAKocean]
