Interesting game. A very good example that, even if you are the World Champion, if you disregard the principles in the opening, you'll get in huge trouble. Magnus went all in a pawn-grabbing fest, while Mamedyarov just developed his pieces, and he ended up in decisive advantage. I always have the memory that Siegbert Tarrasch once commented on that "grabbing pawns in the opening is dangerous", but I didn't find the source, but I found this quote which also applies to this game: “It is not enough to be a good player... you must also play well”

Magnus sure messed up on that one. But a good point is made here in chess. Playing on after a blunder until the game is clearly out of reach, as Agad puts it, "make your opponent work for the meal" sometimes frustrates your foe and they'll occasionally return with a blunder of their own. It's happened many times in my own games on each side of the ledger. I like to think more often on the positive side.

I'm not sure where the culture of resigning the game came from. I'd say it's more respectful to play the game out until the end, the fact that game is won doesn't mean it's easy, you still have to make just as good moves. I'd say it's fine to play at least few moves into the game, no need to make every single move until opponent promotes and ladder checkmates, but let him earn the win, not just let him have his trap opening.
