Magnus Carlsen Arrives With Only 30 Seconds To Play

[@kingsgambit]

To everyone who is new to chess and especially this situation: Kovalev was intentionally taking extra time to make simple moves (he can also blitz these out in a few seconds) to level the time advantage. This was excellent sportsmanship from him. At 4:47 and 5:00 Carlsen adjusts pieces before pressing his clock to communicate to his opponent that he is okay with the time disadvantage now and Kovalev should no longer delay his moves. Kovalev then speeds up and they play an almost normal (bullet) game.

[@williamrobert9898]

I respectfully disagree with your assessment, I do admire his sportsmanship of wanting to wait before the clocks were started but once Magnus arrived, he played quickly until he reached the theory phase and began contemplating what to play next to utilize his time advantage, it is not rare at the top level to see a very strong Blitz player waste a lot of time during the first 15 moves so I can understand why for those who are new to chess, it might look like he is being nice but that actually occurred before, obviously at the end of the day no one knows what actually happened except for Kovalev so we can just exchange our POVs

[@JustRisq]

@@williamrobert9898 yeah i agree with you tbh. It did seem like he was thinking about possible ways to set up a complex position for himself against a world champion with little time knowing that the basic theories wouldn't leave him with a nice enough advantage

[@williamrobert9898]

@@JustRisq Spot on 👏

[@kingsgambit]

@@williamrobert9898 This really is not "the theory phase". These players have at least 10 lines 12 moves deep in every opening. They are studying chess for many hours everyday besides being extremely naturally talented. I respectfully disagree. He was not thinking what to play. He might have been thinking about options but not because one option would have been better against Carlsen or not, rather what he would have enjoyed more. Even I, a 1700 player, know the theory here by heart.

Kovalev is such a good sport. Naroditsky complained about the open position, but Kovalev did it on purpose to give Magnus enough time (as well as taking huge amounts of time to make his own moves, like 6. Nc3). He didn't want to win that way. That's real class.

Honestly….the narrator of this game is phenomenal. That’s some quick speaking for some fast and complex content

I love a game of Chess. I was a casual player 30 years ago about 1600ELO. I've just taken it back up again after 3 decades of total redundancy. I hate Blitz Chess, I prefer to play untimed games so that when I'm in a jam I can spend 10 minutes on the problem, which is for me ½ the fun o' playin!

I hate bullet too, i can't follow, but that's only because I'm a complete noob. I think high-level chess players like bullet because they're only using pattern recognition and less problem solving and planning for every eventuality.

I think it is rude of a champion to arrive late and there is more than one video of him being like this. Just because he is champion doesn't make him any better for those 30 seconds plays, it's rude to arrive late, the rules are a joke he should have to forfeit the match if he is not there for starting time.

I was low key expecting him to do his "adjusting pieces" shenanigans lol
