Interesting editing. After Game 1, you can see Carlsen reaching for a handshake. But then cut to a different camera angle where Nakamura is grabbing the pieces.

Could someone please explain to me, at 10:40, why didn't Magnus move the Knight to D3 and chess the King? King would have to move, then Magnus takes rook on C2, if White takes rook with Knight, then White loses both rooks, if white takes rook with rook, you can play rook and Knight around and you get 1 piece advantage in the end. I'm not even pretending to be at a level to doubt Magnus and his moves, I just want to understand, what am I not seeing?

Rook at a4 doesn't take knight, he's protected by the other Knight. Rook at a4 moves to a2, threatening to take the rook at c2, if King takes the Knight. Then you have one rook and two Knights, with the king in check, that's a pretty good advantage. The only clean trade is if the white rook takes the black rook threatening at a2, then Knight goes to c1 and checks the King, taking the rook. Which is what Magnus probably saw, and now I have my answer 😂

I clicked for Magnus, but stayed for his assistant...

Magnus missed a quicker way to win in the end after blacks move ..Nbc5. It's a forced mate after Rxh7+ Kxh7 Qh5+ Kg8 Ne7#, or, Rxh7+ Kg8 Ne7+ Kxh7 Qh5#. This surprised me a little, I thought this was the reason he played Rh4.

Maybe due to pressure/adrenaline..he moved the other piece(Nxf7)..sure he regret it..but still won the game..
