[@richarddawson5836]

"Magnus thinks he's Hikaru?" Hikaru constantly trying to insert himself in the same category as Magnus is beyond delusional. Magnus is the best of all time, highest rated of all time, 5 world championships, 5 rapid world championships, 7 blitz world championships, World Cup winner and Hikaru winning zero of those events. Hikaru stop embarrassing yourself. Magnus is on another level.

Why is that crazy, he literally only does that

[@thedarksage328]

Yeah it was pretty funny!

[@anywhywho]

What's crazy to me, is during his explanation, Hikaru moves a rook to the wrong square, and without hesitation evaluation bar says "Wrong!".

[@Brice23]

One thing anyone could say about Kramnik that is indisputable is that he is most certainly not cheating. Not even a little.

[@zfeazcesd1047]

maybe not in this game, but it shouldn't surprise anyone if it turned out that kramnik did a fair amount of cheating. there are countless examples in many different domains of a person being extremely vocal against something only to find out that person is guilty of doing the very thing they are so passionately speaking out against. i'm not at all suggesting that kramnik is cheating, just that it wouldn't be shocking to me.

Kramnik probably showed up late so he can use it as an excuse when magnus absolutely crushes him. Good thing magnus did the same 😂

[@Jack-hv3uj]

I admire how Magnus waited to play his first move, so that him and Kramnik were both down to 1minute 40 seconds

[@tychonestoris9360]

I don't think he did it as an act of respect, but as a way to prevent Kramnik from saying he lost because Magnus had more time than him

[@Jack-hv3uj]

@@tychonestoris9360 you've got me thinking... Maybe that's why Kramnik did it in the 1st place (knew he'd lose, so pretended to be preoccupied so he could have the time excuse atleast)

It's a dead cold killer move.

[@painless4785]

Imagine if Magnus hadn't comped Kramnik the lost time -- Kramnik would be howling that he would have won had he not flagged.

exactly. a jealous sore loser he is.

[@AIRDriger]

Kramnik no need a reason to howling tbh, just let him lose and he will start lol

[@Philopantheon82]

I love how Hikaru praises Magnus and how Magnus few months ago called Hikaru a beast in bullet format, cant get enough of both. It is just a pleasure to watch the two playing in this era.

Kramnik didn't actually resigned, he flagged 😂

[@JDBoyJD]

True. He didn't resigned out of respect. But he actually got flagged or maybe resigned at a time when he almost had no time.

Interesting, I think Kramnik was clearly winning here, and lost only by being flagged! So disrespectful these modern chess players!

[@enzocarlo-liu1265]

Magnus backing up Hikaru is such a nice gesture for one person

[@droidgeist]

Reading too much into it. Magnus likes trolling in general. Magnus could easily do this against anybody if it's not a 'serious' match. He's played Titled Tuesdays while drunk and playing on his phone, played all kinds of trash openings for TTs before.

[@miladasadollahi5969]

Magnus is jus playing chess and crushing people💀. It's not about backing Hikaru up.

[@CosyBrew]

Of course it's nothing to do with backing him up. Magnus has always had a great deal of respect for Kramnik. A lot more than he does for this egomaniac.

[@zoso2640]

Bro u must be very delusional, this has nothing to do with hikaru. Magnus plays troll openings against everyone. But whatever keeps you going... must be easy living with the brain of yours

[@Luca-yb4sh]

@@CosyBrew Wow, you spoke with him about that? How lucky.

[@jessatkins4800]

1st of all, what commentary is better than Hikaru speaking of himself in the 3rd person about someone else's chess game? The answer is nothing is better. Magnus trolls and crushes, that is magnificent. I know I will never be able to play chess at this level, so it is beautiful for Hikaru to break it down to me like I was 6 years old. Hikaru you are outstanding! Looking forward to the next break down.

that's proof that Stockfish asks Magnus for the best moves in its evaluation

[@lucabertani225]

He even dropped more of those "I find it interesting", lmfaooo. Hikaru's eyes must've shone so brightly after he first saw this game, he totally knew what he'd have to do

Hikaru. Linebackers play on the defensive side of the ball. The term you’re looking for is lineman, which is pretty general. The positions that block for the ball carrier on screens are typically centers, guards, tackles or tight ends.

Kramnik seems like he is unhinged when it comes to thinking everyone is cheating. Almost to the point where i could see him trying to cheat thinking he's justified, because you know everyone else is lol.

[@chappo8100]

He most likely did cheat a lot during his world championship matches, as it was a time when Russia sponsored a lot of cheating. It’s understandable that a cheater would assume others at the highest level are cheating, because he himself cheated at the highest level.

[@chesscomsupport8689]

@@chappo8100 I don't agree with that at all. What Kramnik is doing nowadays is laughable, but it's way too much of a stretch to assume that therefore he cheated in the World Championships (or at any other point in his career).

[@89Madridista]

You can go to almost any prize tournament where ordinary titled players play (not only the top GM) and you can see in almost all of these tournaments, if not in all, there are clear cheating problems. In prize events with "mediocre" titled players this is classic and Kramnik is completely right about it. I come right now from the actual titled tuesday tournament and i have seen very weird stuff there (and players that had cheating scandals in the past playing the titled tuesday (not very well known)). Kramnik was clearly wrong with Nakamura, but there is a huge problem with cheating in chess, specially now that computers destroy humans at chess. In the past it was an issue but today is a plague since anyone can cheat with AI (even with human style of play)

[@bigheadrhino]

The new chess meta will be to get your opponent to think you are cheating without actually cheating, causing them to play poorly and then getting them to gaslight themselves.
