I don't understand the motive of using an engine against a world champion. Against anyone really, but especially against the World Champion. If you win, you get no satisfaction. You didn't beat him. An engine did. You don't win money or a trophy. Meanwhile, you are missing out on the rare opportunity and privilege of playing the best player in the world, playing honestly. Even if you lose badly. Big deal. Everyone loses to Magnus.

people who use engines likely do it to lie to themselves more than anyone else.

I'm not a professional, but seems to me this was very well played by an 1800

[@seantimmons5900]

It was suspicious. There's something in the way the best moves were all made at specific intervals while time was clearly moving against the opponent. If you see time slipping against you, you begin to make faster moves in the hopes of being right. That didn't occur until the very end when the moves were basically pointless.

[@PetStuBa]

@@seantimmons5900 exactly , there were also moments this thought popped up my mind

[@nihlify]

@@seantimmons5900 when you're up against the best, rushing is a 100% a losing strategy. He probably just wanted to play a solid game regardless of losing against time. Also there's nothing that says 1800 is his real level.

[@KahurangiSteez]

@@nihlify Not rushing is one thing, but that isn't what manbearpig was doing. He was using basically the exact same time for each move, his pauses make no sense, including a few very obvious moves like Bxc5 at 7:07. He thinks the exact same time for every move, whether it's an obvious choice or a move that requires real thought. An actual player on that level would be playing moves like Bxc5 almost instantaneously, whilst taking a much longer time to find non obvious moves like Qh8+ then moving back to the exact same square. Then, the moment he got under 20 seconds and playing fast, his moves stopped making sense and Magnus quickly turned a lost position into a winning position a pawn up - because the player had no understanding of the strategical nuances and was just playing engine moves.

South park and top level chess combine.

What's Magnus's opening called? Is that a dragon?

[@stephengriffeth5116]

Obviously none of the people claiming Magnus' opponent here was using an engine bothered to analyze the game with a computer (in one example of many, lichess claims he blundered already on move 9). There is no reason at all to think this guy was cheating. An engine would have crushed Magnus' rat. Magnus played a terrible opening, and it's completely plausible that an 1800ish player would play this well against it.
