How Magnus Created History Against the Prince of Chess

[@conquerersyt8928]

Everytime we think that a new era is about to begin in chess, Magnus wins the championship and prove us wrong.

[@Rohannn0007]

The new era began as soon he retired from the classical world championship, the candidates and wc matches became 10 times more exciting because we didn't know who'll win

[@C0GST0R135]

@@Rohannn0007 Let's be honest. The (Classical) World Champion title is essentially meaningless because everybody knows that Magnus is the undisputed best player of the game, he is the one above all competition, at the moment.

[@Rohannn0007]

@@C0GST0R135 you can't call a world championship title meaningless bro, chess is a mind game and magnus lost the motivation to defend his title and backed off so he lost mentally and by calling World championship title meaningless you are disrespecting ding

[@C0GST0R135]

@@Rohannn0007 Magnus lost the title to nobody. He simply got bored with it because nobody can give him a challenge, literally no mind games or any mental gymnastics involved in that other than his competition are just not good enough to make it fun. It is another level of coping to say that Magnus lost "mentally" because he refused to defend the title for 5 more decades. Ding winning the World Champion title means as much as him winning a glorified candidates tournament. As long as Magnus is still around and dominating the chess scene, the "World Champion" title means nothing more than a second place award.

[@olivacastillogerardorodrig6383]

Alireza is a good loser; he accepts his defeat and motivates himself to improve, unlike the nonsense from Hans, just a baby.

[@grottphd9090]

Hans is a disgrace. Like his fans, they support a cheater who wants to dethrone a man who is unbeatable

[@curtishsiung5979]

In a way, I feel like Alireza is sympathetic to Magnus's career/life, because at Alireza's age, Magnus is winning all the games like this, and became World Champ at age 22 and dominated a whole decade. Imagine being 22, and no one in your current era of sports can compete with you. Kind of a lonely existence.

[@noornasri5753]

Magnus is still feeling this way. I think that's why we saw such domination, Magnus thought he really must play good chess in order to not lose in this event. This motivated him to actually play in form, and we saw how ahead he really is

[@noone-ld7pt]

This reminds me of when Magnus took out Fabiano in the SCC without losing a single game. When Magnus shows up rested, motivated, and on form he is so far ahead that it's almost scary to watch. Like these guys are historic players in their own right: Alireza is the youngest 2800 in history, and youngest player ever to have multiple candidates appearances, and Fabiano has the highest single tournament rating performance ever and is one of 3 players to reach 2850 in history! (The two others being freakin Kasparov and Carlsen). Like we're talking generational talents and yet when they run into Magnus at his best they're just completely and utterly helpless. It's honestly a privilege to get to watch greatness like this. It feels similar to how it was watching Usain Bolt, you could just sit back and know you were watching history unfold and know that you get to tell your grandkids that you saw true greatness live in your time!

[@danjor5749]

Not to disparage either Magnus or Fabiano, but isn’t it common knowledge that Caruana is a bit weaker in faster time controls compared to classical?

[@noone-ld7pt]

@@danjor5749 I think that is quite outdated. He is nr 3 in Rapid and nr 6 in Blitz and has been top 10 for years, it was one of those narratives that since he repeatedly lost to Magnus and Hikaru people started saying he was bad even though he would beat almost anyone else.

[@noone-ld7pt]

Massive respect to Alireza for handling a loss like this as he did. Being able to appreciate greatness even when you're at the receiving end of a massive smackdown is extremely mature and I love how he said that this actually just motivates him to keep improving. I think, with time, he will come to dominate this event!

[@Brybacc]

yo i love how you made your vids. It is fast-paced and entertaining at the same time. You show the highlights of each game and add a caption about how the game goes. i really appreciate putting the old clips and the tournament's interviews on the video because it is just a one for all video to see. subscribed cause I'm hoping some well made content soon. keep up!

[@FergusFid777]

[@nilsp9426]

He absolutely should! He is still young and very blessed with having gotten a lot of exposure to the toughest tournaments and made deep runs in them. We often forget how many tough tournaments every legend had to go through to finally take some in full stride back to back.

[@gregwh2000]

at 5:38 Magnus had a cool mate with Qd1, he saw it but had pre-moved Rxg3, that's why Carlsen winced, but Firouzja resigned anyway.

[@ninety_ldn]

One thing Magnus said leading up to the tournament was he wanted to be in better physical shape, cant help but feel like his mental is going to get stronger as he aligns his physical goals.

In the unlikeliness that Hans would have accepted his own mouseslip and played on I wouldn't be surprised if Magnus actually had shaken his hand after the match, cause there certainly were moments during the match where Magnus aknowledged Hans's pkay like with the Queen sacrifice. Hans just had to blew it winning some respect from the GOAT..

[@dirtyharry2029]

This mindset Alireza has is absolutely what makes you better. Quick story, I play soft tip darts in the US at a fairly high level. I started playing locally over 10 years ago and after some years moved further and further from my local area trying to find competition. Eventually I found a place that has 1 world level dart player and several national level players and could work me over good. The point is iron sharpens iron. Thinking you are the best will cause you to peak along with being the big fish in the small pond, never be satisfied. You are only as good as the talent that surrounds you(for the most part). I am in no way comparing myself here just comparing the thought process as when he said it even makes him happy to lose to someone like Magnus. I feel the exact same way when I shoot out of my mind and still lose. It reminds me to get better.
