MAGNUS CARLSEN: 4,000 ELO!!!!

That's the thing with him. It's always his prime. Its like he was born that way and has never had a slump(except very few tournaments here and there). You can see why he is the literal God of Chess.

[@orangepacker7479]

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 😂

[@an1m_0]

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

*I think one of the things that really separates Magnus from even the remaining Top 10, is his willingness to deviate from theory.* I understand why in a quick game against lethal opponents, that can be fatal. But with such a superior and quick mind for the game, throwing your opponent into uncharted territory is arguably one of the best tools in any battle.
