[@Jack78680]

😂 😂

[@gm2407]

It's just a flesh wound.

[@JaoAceu]

Tis but a scratch

[@ScootyPuffATL]

Magnus probably realized how many times he hung mate or offered it by the time he offered a draw. He has a lot of respect for Hikaru so it makes sense.

This rivalry between Hikaru and Magnus has made for some of the most exciting chess I've ever seen.

[@TheForgottenMan270]

For speed chess, I can't imagine a more exciting match up. The top two dishing it out like it was nothing.

[@SonicMegaKing]

Top 4.

[@mridgaf3233]

​@SonicMegaKing Hikaru also came up from what, 2740s? He had a spell a while back where he was dominating everyone, Magnus included for the first time. He may be #4 but it seems he's stronger than he's ever been

[@isabellam1936]

Please use the evacuation bar like everyone else. I stopped watching your channel because you don’t include that valuable teaching and learning tool. You are falling behind willingly because you’re stubborn.

[@-DigitalExcel]

Carlsen accepting the draw offer like a true gentleman, paying the due respect to the five times in a row defending champion.

[@paulharris2331]

Didn't he offer the draw?

[@michaelmassaro4375]

@@paulharris2331 I believe you’re right that Magnus offered the draw I googled and it’s pretty much what was stated

[@jodymccullough5891]

Naka did offer the draw but if you look at the position there is a very obvious perpetual. Carlsen in fact had a mate in 7 or something like that but he only needed a draw and the perpetual was right there. I think Naka even stated later that that is why he offered the draw, because he thought it was a perpetual. It was a pragmatic decision by Carlsen to accept the draw offer, not sure about gentlemanly. I have seen him refuse draw offers even when he had already won the tournament (not that I blame him for doing that - he has every right to try to maximize his tournament score).

[@md.mohaiminulislam9618]

@@jodymccullough5891 magnus offered it, it was a sure checkmate in 6-7 moves even if you played the best moves, anything else would be shorter checkmate, the king was wide open hounded by a queen and bishop, no chance

[@jodymccullough5891]

@@md.mohaiminulislam9618 I have seen multiple sources that said Naka offered the draw and Magnus accepted. In the end it is not worth arguing over too much. It is easy for us to sit and look at a position with all the time in the world and see a mate in 7, much harder scenario in the heat of the moment in a *bullet* game. Regardless of who offered, I would still say it was more pragmatism on Magnus's part. You could mess around and end up losing, especially in a bullet game and especially to Naka. So why would anyone with half a brain do that? Take the draw, take the match, take the tournament. Not really a lot to think about.

[@user-ee1lo1il3f]

people think naka's the favourite in 1+1, forgetting that 1+1 and 1+0 are completely different. magnus has in fact won their last three 1+1 matches, including a dominating score of 7.5 to 2.5 in 2017.

[@doctord2897]

It was a very similar but a different checkmate. - Agadmator 2024

Also: black is still sort of in the game but of course black will get checkmated very soon

Two speed demons blown everyone of us away, live on youtube , while Magnus saying after the match he is not satisfied by his performance and Hikaru literally livestreaming 3 hours after the game. This two are just playing Godly chess at the moment.. thanks for the recap Agad, been a wonderful SCC

Dude just straight up picked up a call during a video, amd we all just waited for him to finish. Boss move.

[@jackchueh1231]

Magnus offering a draw is a show respect for Hikrau.

[@NotQuiteFirst]

I think it was Hikaru who offered the draw. Magnus just accepted it as it won him the match. It was a better option for Hikaru to offer a draw than to resign, as he knew Magnus would take it, and it meant only losing the match by one point rather than two.

[@marcoleonardi2123]

Yeah Hikaru offered the draw

[@subarashiistrawveri1160]

do you think if they switched sides, where hikaru is leading 13.0-12.0, and magnus offers that draw, would hikaru accept it?

[@barnabasastrofengia5345]

Magnus accepting a draw I think 🤔 still shows absolute respect 🙂

[@ahhah1293]

​@@subarashiistrawveri1160 No I dont think so, hikaru would have tried to humiliate magnus more. Tbh, anyone who thinks hikaru respects magnus is just madman, it is just magnus and his skills and his strong mind that tamed hikaru and turned him into a streamer. There was never a rivalry it was mostly one sided dominance by magnus against hikaru until last few years where hikaru managed to win few tournaments.

[@razorer111]

First chess I’ve watched live and didn’t know the game could be so exciting!

[@idunoh1902]

The GOAT of all time

[@redeyexxx1841]

​@@fernandovargasmejia740Bobby Fischer had no title defenses and his peak lasted like 2-3 years. Far from GOAT. Kasporov and Magnus played 3 generations of players. The previous gen, their current gen and the new upcoming gen.

[@kunalsingh4418]

​@@fernandovargasmejia740lol no. It's either Kasparov or Magnus. Every year that Carlsen maintains his dominance he gets closer to being undisputed goat. Fischer time at top was just 2 years. He is no 3 but no higher than that.

[@skiba6566]

I'm sure if it's not Magnus, he'll spot 100%

He had 30 seconds or so at that point too, after he admitted he didn’t use his time well

[@hj-xb2tr]

@@skiba6566 Exactly. Major time issues or not.....even if he doesn't see that move, he would've seized an unstoppable advantage at some point during that end game (against anyone else). Choked it away cause it was a big win vs Magnus on the line

[@Wargasm54]

He had plenty of time. He was just caught up in the intensity of the moment. He definitely had that game in the bag had he just paused for 5 seconds and put the winning combination together. The momentum was just to fierce for him to tap the brakes. But yeah, he definitely had it.

[@aaronchan1088]

[@ExtraMaritalAffairs]

Magnus consistently turning around games that were initially lost or appeared to be draws may initially appear fortunate, but the frequency with which he achieves this in nearly every other game suggests that it's more a testament to his skill than mere luck. #GOAT On the other Hand, Hikaru, able to play on equal terms and make magnus sweat to win, Makes him the deadliest opponent. GOD I love chess.

[@valimaa1006]

Hikaru is like a Hector to Achiless.

[@josephelmer4377]

idk who said it, but luck is the combination of preparation and opportunity.this isn't always true, but like you said, in Magnus' case, it is. He is so good that if you make just the slightest of mistakes and he will eat you alive like a shark smelling blood in the water
