Magnus gained a rating point. Well deserved

[@MeTakingAStand]

watching Magnus flip the switch at the end from playing strategically for the endgame advantage to mating within a few moves -- absolute killer instinct. I'm by no means a good chess player, but even still my brain struggles to hold the ability to calculate multiple win conditions like that at the same time. we are so lucky to live at a time where all time greats can play and provide commentary in real time for the whole world to see.

What a time to be a chess fan! Just being able to watch Magnus do his thing and explaining his thoughts so that even a casual player can understand what's going on. It's brilliant. Thanks Magnus

[@PeterSedesse]

Absolutely, and not only that but he played pretty much theory, so even novices could pick up on the thought process.
