The fact that his opponents were playing extremely well and he still destroyed them. The eval bar wasn’t moving but Magnus saw it all, even further than the engine 😂

[@kxwisx]

yes

[@Davinmk]

yes they played really well but the eval bar only shows the winning chances against a bot, which is very different to playing against a human

[@orangepacker7479]

That's what I imply in my comment. Magnus is seeing things the engine doesn't really care about. positional moves that push his opponents outside their comfort zone etc. He slowly pushed them into a position where they were almost guaranteed to make a mistake.@@Davinmk

[@ade8890]

um no not really. the eval bar started moving down not because the eval bar failed to see ahead, but because magnus's opponent failed to play perfect moves.

[@orangepacker7479]

Magnus also often played 2nd or 3rd best moves. But he played them in such a way to put pressure on his opponents. The perfect move isn't always the best move because of this. More tense positions allow the better player to outplay their opponent where stockfish would evaluate it a draw, no matter the flavor of the position. Magnus is a master at bringing games to positions where he can pressure his opponent without playing suboptimal moves. That is why he was world champ for so long.@@ade8890

The last game there against Alireza- that was... incredible. Yes we love these Magnus videos. Please keep them coming. Perhaps showing how people beat him as well, where he goes wrong, that would also be instructive. For example Fabiano beat him in one rapid game recently. How did he do it?

[@manmoth_1990]

Been following Magnus' career since the 2013 Candidates. I can honestly say that I haven't seen domination like this from him in a very long time. Effortless really is the word. The man is so in tune with the game it's actually touchingly beautiful to watch sometimes.

You gotta respect a man like Levy, makes a split second mistake that could be edited out but decides to leave it

Hikaru was just talking about this in his latest video on Magnus. How Magnus has an extremely deep understanding for where pawns should be positioned and how he knows exactly how to punish pawn structures that are inaccurate. So that pawn on g5 (in the Amin game) and the way that knight was jumping around on the kingside was a true testament to that. edit: Ahh Hikaru actually made the comment while recapping that Firouzja game. It was about that early h5 move
