this is a great comment because everyone is so quick to say the other greats did it in the era of no supercomputers and not many tourneys. That may be true, but the important thing is to just recognize we are living in the era of one of the greatest chess players to live.

In his prime, Bobby Fischer was almost unbeatable, like Magnus. But he also brought chess to the attention of the world by beating the dominant Russain GM's. Plus he was a pretty athletic and funny guy, watch his appearances on Bob Hope. Yes, later he had mental problems.

[@emranahmed5711]

@@SteveK77536 Yes, i agree. I love Boby. Who doesnot? But you have to Understand the gap of chess knowledge Between one generation’s best player vs his generation’s top players. Today Even a 13 years old GM knows almost the same as Magnus in case of theoretical knowledge. Everyone has access to stockfish and other engines . I think It's really difficult to beat a GM by a Super GM today. In this era, the consistency Magnus has been showing for more than a decade is incomparable.

Dubov was so close! If only not for that loss of 0.5 pts from his match against Nepo then he would've been tied for 1st alongside Magnus. And we could've had a nail biting tie breaker for sure.

[@Monkieteam]

Magnus would have tried harder to win the last game if a draw was not enough, so probably no tie breaker either way

[@listey]

Magnus would have won an extra 0.5 from somewhere if he had needed to.

Magnus slowed cause he had a lead. He probably would have pushed a bit more if Dubov was at same points.

That's Anish words though. Imo ding is deserved champ, even if he is not the strongest player. Not like it was in Ding's hands.

he wouldnt be blitz champion if that didnt happen, he would have lost the tiebreaks you know

Was cheering for Artemiev, such a nice guy. He had a good start and was leading for sometime. His lost to 39th Serbian GM was decisive. No shame in that, it is always those what if's when someone looses.

[@Philopantheon82]

​@ItachiUchiha-ns1il As Agad said it correctly, and that was my point. If Dubov got that extra half point, that would have made Magnus pumped up even further and be more incentive to bring best out of himself. I'm not sure why you didn't read my comment about Agad being objective

[@d4slaimless]

What if's are always pointless. Things that didn't happen - didn't happen. And regrets are pointless as well.

Dubov-Nepo thing reminds me of Fischer's (in)famous and repeated complaints about Russian grandmasters conspiring to draw their games.
