[@farzamimran3960]

I mean magnus isnt really having fun in classical id argue fabi at his best is way tougher than pragg

[@russorti2983]

If you watch the whole game, hikaru does have a commentary that magnus play riskier moves on younger opponents just like to test them out or see his range or capacity versus them (you can refer to games like versus alireza). While playing with the usual old old top players like hikaru, magnus plays safe. I think he is more like checking pragg's range or capacity but is overwhelmed maybe understimated him too

[@adenugbakingsley1782]

That's not true sir. That someone cannot beat Magnus without playing exceptionally precise is not true. He can be beaten without necessarily playing exceptionally precise moves.

[@merdishakki]

@@SM7.. Yes this is third video I've seen from him.

[@vcliburn]

That was Magnus' cardinal sin during the game...he neglected his king safety by not castling...hence, his king-side rook was totally dormant throughout the game! But the big problem is that Pragg never gave Magnus a chance to castle! So in essence, Magnus misplayed the opening from the get-go...or should I say, Pragg completely outplayed Magnus from the get go!

[@HelloWorld12347]

exactly. some people here are trying to justify that by saying Magnus wanted to play INTERESTING chess. But putting the king in firing line is not interesting but just a massive blunder. He was just hoping he would somehow get out of the situation (which he quite often does) but the Magnus-Slayer went engine mode today!

The thing with Magnus is, he is always pushing the boundaries of opening theory, experimenting with younger players such as Pragg, Gukesh, Alireza and Nodirbek (usually when he is in the leading position in a tournament). This is the reason why some of them occasionally wins against Magnus but his consistency and grasp of the game is still unmatched. Pragg played a brilliant game but at the end of the tournament, Magnus will still be where we expect him to be, no doubt about it.

Q2 Why are the 2022 WFRCC games considered 'slow rapid', as in the same category for the 2019 wfrcc 60min games, when they are actually 32.5min games? What I understand is (0,10) = Blitz [10,60) = rapid [60,120) = classical but unrated if so and so conditions [120,infinity) = classical P.S. Wesley So on Lex Fridman xcdhgq P.P.S.
