Arjun played incredibly defeating THE Magnus Carlsen in just 20 moves is WOW. This guy 🧿🇮🇳

But , it was just a Blitz , l hope that Arjun Will Defeat Magnus in Rapid Soon.

[@HarshSharma-yx4ib]

just incredible even, he defeated magnus with black pieces.

Coz maggi blundered

[@Daaarsheelll]

​@@Steam-t9t Unless someone blunders no one wins, that’s how chess works lil bro

[@Steam-t9t]

@Daaarsheelll thats not really it. The comments are like arjun completely outplayed magnus and so, but in reality he could do this just because of the blunder.. And you might be really proud of yourself for adding that last lil bro part huh. So desperate to look cool

[@karthiksubash]

If you have been watching chess for quite some time, you would know that these things are common in chess. Remeber Magnus won the rapid and he is the sole leader in blitz. He is still the player to beat for the entire chess fraternity. Well done Arjun for this strange opening choice catching magnus off-guard and never letting go off the initiative. A wounded Magnus is a dangerous Magnus and the rest of the players need to watch out.

[@karthiksubash]

@@chandrasekhar4330 You are right sir. Our Indian players are extremely strong in classical but need to hone their skills in faster time format to beat the likes of Magnus, Hikaru, Firouzja etc. We have such strong potential and I hope we can recreate the dominance of Russia of the early 90s

[@qoweed]

He just played the Sicilian against e4. How is it a strange opening choice? Magnus just blundered with Qf4 expecting Qxf4 and missing Qa5+ b4 Nxb4 attacking 2 pieces.

[@premdasyesudasan5778]

Even the Great Bobby Fischer blundered his bishop in the first game of the famous 1972 World Championship match against Boris Spaasky. But it's the same Bobby who went on to win the match and became the World Chess Champion. That one bishop blunder didn't make Bobby any lesser in the Chess world. He is still one of the greatest chess players the world has ever seen.
