[@jevitigre]

Carlsen is the KING, world champion in the 3 formats in the same year!

[@jesabr12]

jevitigre Magnus is the prince, he still has more years left before he is ready to take the throne.

Underrated comment 😂😂

[@leandroearth]

Kramnik is the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@janjacdr1]

Surely one of the best ever.

[@samisimo4693]

Why he didn't shake hands?

[@leandroearth]

@@samisimo4693 They're enemies.... in this case, there's no obligation for shaking hands according FIDE rules :)

[@danielmartini3229]

if they don't shake hands, how does either resign?

[@jacobtennyson6186]

The player whose position is losing just stops the clock.

[@mr.nobody2515]

[@nuggetz9380]

lmao

[@darrenbrijesh2713]

[@garamiglm2026]

Kasparov and Kramnik are chatting away happily ? What ever happened to Kasparov's hatred for Kramnik ?

[@machugo3368]

Kasparov understand before he was defeated by Kramnik in 2000s that sooner or later, Kramnik is going to surpass and dethrone him

[@Patralgan]

I'm not aware of them being enemies beside some disagreements perhaps

[@yuristremel]

I don't know if Kasparov and Kramnik ever had any sort of feud between then aside from the expected tension of dispute for the crown

[@thorn35]

Kramnik likes to go for long walks.........Long walks to his cellphone chess program lol.
