Its no about talent anymore bcoz no competition.... it's only about magnus's mood and choice if he wants to win or not

[@JesterLegend4life]

Bro. As much as we love Magnus, you can't just deny the brilliance by Alireza. Magnus may not have been playing his best, but he definitely wasn't losing on purpose. Alireza defeated Magnus two times in a row and that's a fact. Ofcourse Magnus is still the king.

[@dr.utkarshshaha1978]

Like jan gustafson says , any decent 2700 can win a game against any player. But to win a match it is very hard. & like magnus says , the longer the match goes his chances to win goes exponentially high (like 10-12 games he can easily win 6-7 while opponent can only win 1-2)

[@alexknaack2959]

I really feel like he tries risky positions for the memes and when he realizes he needs to win, no one can keep up

[@sammtzy4616]

i do think magnus did it to entertain chess world by creating certain drama, also so that levy and nakamura has content to create(sarcasm)

[@flippert0]

I beg to differ. Magnus' positional understanding is as great as it always was. But tactically, he's more vulnerable than he used to be.

[@XxSeedOfEvilxX]

Alireza is a hell of a creative player. I bet if you ask Magnus he'd say playing him is by far more interesting than most players out there.

[@adrenaline_overload]

Jesus loves you

[@gamma9141]

Exciting and easy to win, double dub for Magnus

[@joeedis6231]

He just wanted to play a few extra games 😂

[@tarantula_7u863]

"Hmmm... I have no idea if this works, but I'll give it a shot..."

[@Kay-jg6tf]

I'm close to believing that's the case, i was absolutely "shocked" that Magnus reigned supreme!

[@majdq8]

We are lucky to live in an era where the greatest chess player of all time can be watched playing LIVE !!!

[@kkakdugiman]

Wow! I was so hyped up after Magnus lost two games in a row and then fought back to win 2 games back into a tie-break! Then Magnus fought in the final battle for supremacy and destroyed Firouzja 2-0! Magnificent job Magnus! Congratulations on your hard-core fight in the finale!

[@goodguycwyzz4768]

He didn’t have to fight for a tie break, he’s on the winners side so he would need to lose 2 best of 3’s to get knocked out of the tournament

[@ambrish_tripathi]

The way Alireza said that he was tired, feeling sad for him. Congrats Magnus!

[@kyber.octopus]

Knight on C8 will seal his fate wow these rhymes are epic

[@ronansingson5350]

Levi’s gonna shout THE ROOOOOKKKKKKSSSS again

[@JNoel-zx8xb]

Beautiful comeback by the goat!

[@shiftyrazzy]

hahah never question magnus! He's simply too good.

[@goodguycwyzz4768]

Hi guys I will explain double elimination tournament here. There are 2 brackets. A winners bracket and a losers bracket. You need to lose from both brackets to be knocked out of the tournament. Since Alireza lost earlier already he is in the losers bracket already, while Magnus has not lost yet he stays on the winners side. This means that Alireza needs to beat Magnus twice to knock him out. Once to knock him from the winners bracket to the losers bracket, and once again to knock him out of the tournament completely. Magnus only has to beat Alireza once to knock him out of the tournament, as Alireza is already on the loser bracket.

[@RaGe0rge]

It's incredible how many people in the chat struggle with understanding how a double elimination tournament works.

[@themorosov7]

SPOILER BARRIER!

[@hellostranger2012]

David & Magnus have such sweet relationship 😂

[@tlanda6]

Congrats King Magnus ♥️♥️♥️

[@flippert0]

Rf1 in the last game could have been a game changer.

[@JustLaila3011]

Alexander vs Darius 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@palmtreegal3]

So fun to watch!

[@BamThwok76]

you guys make this more exciting than nhl hockey, if you're into that

[@mitch07700]

Le minot! J'ai l'impression de me voir ,il y a 60 ans.......

[@GiselWulur]

I love you magnus, is the best👍

[@melzz]

Spoiler . . . . . . Congratulations Magnus🎉

[@melzz]

Magnus is really a slow starter, not good for my heart

[@mydestinybaburam]

How can a single man conquer all the formats of chess?

[@JustLaila3011]

Chess aside, Magnus’s hair is just beautiful !! I would kill for that hair 😂 Anyone know what shampoo he uses ??

[@markalabtikgg]

his 14th victory of 17 in chessable masters.... sheeeeeshhh nlang gyud.

[@ChristneyMazaya]

I got 15 😂

[@Sam-ew8kt]

I'm confused. How did games continue after the match? Can someone explain?

[@nishanthds7386]

Aliroza was in the looser bracket so he had to win another to make it equal

[@noone-ld7pt]

It's a double elimination tournament so all players essentially have 2 lives. Alireza had already lost a match earlier and gone to the losers bracket, while Magnus had both his "lives" left going into the match. So when he lost the first it just equalized the score.

[@Sam-ew8kt]

Got it, thank you guys

[@alamian7625]

What was the reset about? Didn't Alireza already win with 2.5 - 1.5?

[@RahulKumar-mr8fr]

Magnus came through winners final Alireza came from lossers final

[@vlj1133]

It's a double-elimination tournament. No player is eliminated until he's lost two matches. Alireza's victory in today's first match was Magnus's first lost match of the tournament. The loser's bracket winner (Alireza) had already lost one match, so he had to beat Magnus two matches in a row in the Final in order to win the tournament. MVL pulled off that feat in one of last year's CCT events.

[@JoJo-bx5qy]

Firozja was a definite winner , ask Carlson ❤

[@zeynepcalskan9443]

Congrats🎉🎉

[@Hbmd3E]

face cams messing with peoples game? Also you can see from the face cam, Magnus is somehow struggling/ not feeling good.

[@donjose2464]

Magnus super sayayin 😂😂

Поздравляю Магнуса с победой🥇! А Также Феруджу и Дениса что вошли в тройку победителей🎈🎉 Отдельное спасибо, что сегодня не комментировала Татьяна, очень тяжело её слушать, слишком громко и эмоциональная, очень мешает сосредоточиться на просмотре, приходилось все время убирать звук, когда появлялся её голос.

[@zachwarner7164]

25 minute mark magnus is looking down and to the right, there was no pieces there that were in play…what is he looking at so intently

[@StacyInLove1]

He is thinking. Top GMs do not need to look at the board.

[@ryry854]

Hikaru and others will look at the ceiling. I will look away when I'm in a match. It can either help give clarity, focus you, or reset the thought process. Sometimes just staring at the board is the worst thing you can do.

[@JesterLegend4life]

Are you doubting MAGNUS? He's been here so long he don't need no fish. Edit: also, it's literally the opening, nobody needs to cheat in the opening anyways.

[@yousufownzu6902]

Nice mangoos

[@quintox208]

Magnus loses Match1 and wins Match2. So why is he the overall winner?

[@hamashexany4931]

Same for me I don’t understand

[@siphiwomzekandaba]

Double elimination. He had 2 "lives" going into the match. So Magnus had to win once, and Alireza twice.

[@ryansinging]

@@siphiwomzekandaba how did it get to that? sorry i know nothing about chess and have no idea what happened prior, just curious lol

[@kangvito9894]

​@@ryansingingbecause this match is grand final. Magnus wons the final against Denis Lazavik and he reached the grand final from winner bracket, so Magnus have 2 lives. But Alireza reached grand final from losser bracket, so he just have 1 lives.

[@goodguycwyzz4768]

It’s a double elimination bracket. Every player has to lose twice to get knocked out. Alireza already lost to someone earlier in the tournament, Magnus did not. That means Magnus still needs to lose twice and Alireza only once when they faced off

[@withapen9020]

I can win Magnus

[@tomastoth3839]

As a prize or as a wife?

[@soroushdarvish9281]

dude has crums on his face.......
