"And now Magnus is winning even though it's not clear why" lol, yeah, everybody else is always puzzled but eventually you'll come to the conclusion that the answer simply is "because he is Magnus"

​@@Shiba_George That comparison would imply Magnus ducks Fabi, Hikaru, Arjun, Alireza. Takes up matches with low 2700s and declares himself the best because he never loses to them. Also, he pokes his opponents in the eye after every 5 moves.

Everyone coming and commenting that arjun was gaining ELO because he was playing 2600s as if they know anything about chess. This is not classical you arm chair experts. Arjun is near 2700 in Rapid, the Elo difference as you can see on the side is more than 100. Try to look at what is happening before giving dumb opinions.

Ya i noticed the same. Ofcourse i have seen the black king in the center with that pawn structure many times before, but to have a sort of a dragon bishop in there is pretty new for me.

[@MrSupernova111]

Wow! Incredible game by these two! As competitive as Magnus is he must have loved the impressive game by his opponent. Amazing game! Thanks!

[@yassinesafraoui]

Don't forget that Magnus's highest classical rating is 2882, yes he's 2831 now but that's because he's not really interested by ratings nowadays, if he was to really focus on his classical rating no doubt he will be at least 2860+, but that would be exhausting for him without much of a reward which is why he's not going for it

[@devansh5562]

Lol no. It doesn't work like that. He can't be 2860 if there are no 2800 players to play against. And as Magnus himself said, the FIDE ratings have deflated in recent years so today's 2830 is more like 2850 from a few years back

[@yassinesafraoui]

@devansh5562 okay that could be an explanation as well, I thought his rating decreased because he doesn't care anymore as he used to

[@hmmm3210]

​@@devansh5562 He can. He just needs to have a much better win ratio.

[@devansh5562]

@@yassinesafraoui yes you are also kind of right. If he was playing more classical against top players he would be higher right now. When he reached 2882 he was motivated by his goal of reaching 3000 but slowly he realised it's impossible so now he doesn't care much about ratings as long as he has a decent gap with the number 2.

[@cazorla82]

@@devansh5562Yes I agree iirc there were around 5-6 super gms over 2800 around that time. Now it’s almost impossible to reach 2900 but can def happen in the near future

[@turtle752436]

12:13 Now, i did notice, and i would pay 3 to 1 if Arjun did not notice the move that would cost him the game, the move that scared him the most. As i would pay 8 to 1 if the key moment that Magnus hinged upon was not, that same move, as he obviously had prepated this. Failing that, i'd pay 16 to 1 if Magnus was winging it, but knew that he would probably win this game, after the move. 14..Bxg2 Advantage Carlsen! Checkers alert on Whites kingside!

Kasparov said the world championship ended with Magnus and now it is just a fide competition 🧐🧐🧐 I'm beginning to understand why

[@moaek3966]

There are levels to this shii .

[@VishwasRao-k6v]

Why not ....Qxc2+ after Nxd5 (instead Bxd5). You are also winning the bishop on e2.

[@michaeldao1]

@3:33 If the white N captures why not Qxc2+?

[@NJ-ky9jm]

Because after Kb1 you can’t recapture on d5 with the bishop due to Rc1 winning the rook on c8, so you’d have to recapture with the pawn which is bad for black.

[@miserere_me9168]

i request some game with dubov it as been a while!

at 3:24 , the logical and the most obvious move is f3 which arjun was supposed to play. reason he didnt play it he wanted imbalances in the position so that he could out calculate magnus. intuition triumphs over intellect in shorter time controls. man the reason im most disappointed by is tomorrow magnus will beat nodirbek and it'd all be over... no competition whatsoever... prediction : magnus wins the blitz section with 2 points lead ;)

after black nd5 and white captured the knight why magnus dont go for qc2+ first and wins a pawn before capture the knight

And then I was jumped by all those salty Indian kids 😂😂😂. And I gave them the proper reasons that magnus team is not that good except for him and tari .He has no prep at all which is required for classical .And he is most likely not even willing to play and was just coming after the speed chess championship so not in right state of mind.Also he willingly left the world champion status becoz he doesn't like all classical formats . And as u expect from Indian kids they started arguing abt it 😂😂😂.Like magnus is noone 😂😂😂
