I really wished Magnus would consider his opponent, that was an absolute slaughter… the opponent has a family
@benfoad14162 ай бұрын
Magnus going from Bongclouding to +3 within 8 or 9 moves is absolutely nuts!!. And all this without even unveiling his hair. This game exemplifies the Magnus effect perfectly. Keep up the good work mate.

Not knowing half banana hammock or Mariana trench tactics is really shameful for a grandiose master. Especially when playing against Capybara Marlsson, who is known to be very comfortable beyond depths of 10 kilometers, as that is where the best prawns are.

I swear it seems like Magnus intentionally screws around in the openings just to have a bit of fun, doing what he's not supposed to, just to see if he can get out of it. I do it myself sometimes, but of course it never ends well for me.
