[@BMWE-hm7uz]

Pawn structure is the same, material is the same, it's 0s. Isn't hard to see if its a drawing position. As in the is no obvious weakness to attack, or weak square to exploit. If there was a weakness, you gang up on it, youre opponent then has to tie down his pieces to the defence of that weakness making your pieces better and stronger and can create more threats, ie an advantage to you. If youre defending a weakness, your opponent had the advantage. But anyway, you would gang up and win the pawn and go into a pawn up endgame, either 2 against 1 on the queen side or 4 against 3 on the king-size using this particular game. As there isn't any, there is no way that if all the pieces were traded you can make a passed pawn, of course avoiding blunders on the way. If you're ever in a drawing position and you need a win, you gotta try and change the pawn structure and create weaknesses in your opponents camp

[@Incepter.]

Hikaru and Magnus knowing immediately it was a position where it would end up in a draw both of them just decided to accept a draw in Titled Tuesday of 28 february

I love that chess players at the highest levels can communicate through their play.

[@TheyHe_V]

I like how in this matchup Hikaru is 3237 and Magnus is 3238 which kind of indicates the way they play against each other can be one sided ending in mate or resignation, or it can end in a draw as it does with usual Super GM games just like how when they accidentally play the 2nd top engine move they resign realizing the other side would be up 0.06 in the evaluation

[@fangiscool1]

sounds like every chess game. Either a mate, resignation, or draw lol

[@Oliver-2103]

After grinding chess it finally paid off, I am a super GM. I‘m sure you can do it too guys, I just made sure that every game is either a mate, resignation or draw. I got the time problem out of the way through 30min games, which was clever by me even for a super gm

Seeing this as a noob in chess, it blows my mind that they've already played the game in their heads and just knew it was a draw.

[@BMWE-hm7uz]

They haven't played the game in their heads. The pawn structure is the same, equal material and there is no advantage to be gleaned as there is no weaknesses to exploit

Lmfao the irony is, it's almost always Magnus who plays meme-y openings first with white or he responds with obscure opening with black against Hika even in money tourneys. Uptight chess nerds just can't grasp the fact that Magnus is one of the top fun trolls in chess world, along with Kramnik, Grischuk, Dubov, Rapport etc...

Write it to him, and he'll still give a shit about your comment or not even read it, do you want him to mind control his viewers with psychic powers so that they can fully fit into your "correct and educated people" scheme, for that they stop making you feel uncomfortable every time you read their messages? They are using his freedom, he does not have to take responsibility for something that is not his fault. Think logically and save yourself from writing nonsense. Although it is also part of your freedom to criticize and release the discomfort you feel with what others do, it is obvious, there will always be someone who tries to correct you, they may or may not be right.
