Press Conference after Game 3 | FIDE World Championship Match 2021 |

[@pasunurusaivineeth3739]

The number of witty (not dumb) questions are rising with every round. I'm loving it and want the trend to stay the same

[@KaranS2022]

questions are getting over

[@notremo1493]

Who cares about draws when you've got press conferences like these. Hilarious stuff from both the players. Love it!

[@Alexander-dt2eq]

yes its the real battle. funnily also kind of drawish. Ian the only worthy opponent for comedy so far. hoping for a decisive game here as well :D

[@rishabhmishra98]

imagine magnus and ian watching chelsea vs man utd after the game together

Reminds me of the sleepover of gabe and dwight from the office.

[@INCNetski]

They're Dota fans, they would also be watching WEU DPC.

[@karthikravichandran4]

You know the question is bad each time Magnus says, 'It's a good question'

His PR coach must be banging their head on the walls xD

@@jtb3860 Haha I don't think Magnus needs a PR coach. He is wit and humor personified

Best Press Conference ever lmao.

[@manuelschulz9270]

2:23 Nepo is like "was my answer not sexy enough?"

[@Raisin_Fighter]

Magnus is too funny, he's got some great humor for some terrible questions

[@amirovsky2012]

So far I think it was the best chess conference .

[@cosmicsection1263]

How drunk is the cameraman?

[@danh72]

Will be interesting to see if Magnus can bore Nepo into playing the riskier chess he has played for most of his career. Magnus certainly believes he can beat that Nepo easier.

[@OswinOsgood]

But also there is more chance that Magnus will lose a game in that case

11:08 best question

[@colaboytje]

That was indeed a very good question. It seems to much of a coincidence imo.

[@denishamsih5726]

Magnus gonna show his real magic during the later part of the tournament 😉

[@amigosXcorrespondenc]

These press conferences are going wild xd

usually they go wild before a decisive game.

who's the videographer for these press conferences? please pan better.

[@feriansyahbonauli3515]

why so much motion blur when moving and zooming the camera? make me a little bit dizzy

[@vivstar3]

Why don't they show the lines on board when the players are saying the moves? It is impossible to follow unless you are already high rated and can visualize things in memory...

[@shubhra0120]

Chuck it man we will still not get it

[@v1991c]

Absolutely ridiculous this press conference

[@groovybuddha667]

Did Maurice really ask Magnus if there was anything sexy about today's game? Lol

[@denishamsih5726]

Yes

[@usamaverse]

Can anyone translate the russian question and answer?

[@mr1Alexander98]

-Ian, 3 draws in a row, how is it comfortable for you,are you satisfied and can we expect more hard battle after rest day -It's hard to say, yesterday I had chances, but deep analysis shows that black has no forcing moves. Anyway, I always want to win and it will be better to win 3 times than have 3 draws. We should understand that we have a close battle and we play how we can. After the rest day I should play for a black and then for a white, so I will play game after game and I want to take it step by step, don't want to look into the future

[@MadCow191]

I want to know what the Russian question and answer was

[@halfaheartbongobongo]

I think Chess journalists are too used to asking about strategy in post-game interviews - but they need to stop doing it here because it's not like they're going to potentially give away part of their strategy just for the journalists.

[@MA-qz1sd]

I sense some accusation in the question about the centipawn result

[@Neodynium.the_permanent_magnet]

Adding a small chessboard showing the pieces move when the players talk would be great (we don't all remember the game by heart).

[@onurcanerdogu7421]

It seems to me the moderator doesn't behave objectively.

[@nirajjawale8983]

The only entertaining thing that happened yesterday

[@mviv6339]

Magnus hired the long term 2nd of Anand before their first world championship match to act as his 2nd. Pretty unethical if you ask me.

[@hazel-rah4997]

If you start talking like that, chances are very high you have spent way too much time thinking about chess...

[@tinytim8173]

Press conference was more interesting than the game seems like both players are tired and wanted a quick draw

[@deepankarsachdeva8589]

😊

[@colaboytje]

It seems that there could have been cheating, as the result was predicted 2 days before. They played both at Stockfish level. The question that is being asked now is: were their checkdatabases hacked? That would conclude cheating.

[@sitting_nut]

you didn't obviously understand the question. game was not "predicted", line was analysed to move 20 but not to end. but analyzing ruy lopez to move 20 is not unusual and could have been done by anybody especially after game 1, when it was also played. and how is playing that line without errors and without risking something unusual, unlike in other two games, "cheating"? playing that way will end in a draw.

[@zanti4132]

Actually the superhigh Stockfish scores for games 1 and 3 don't surprise me much, considering the players were in a heavily analyzed Ruy Lopez line for the first 15 to 20 moves. I've gotten 98+ scores from Stockfish myself in games where I followed an established Ruy Lopez line past move 15, and my rating is only around 2000. Playing openings that have been analyzed to death not only ensures you won't make any early mistakes, it allows you to play quickly without using much mental effort, leaving you with more time and energy when the game finally leaves book.

[@manaschoudhary3924]

youre too pure to understand preparation and stuff in chess, so just go and continue your road to 900 usinig the scholar's attack with a 3 move theory

[@RonMn]

I mean people could watch their game one and try to analyze what could go different, and ruy is indeed an established line

Its regular chess. What do you expect? Most of the top ones are pretty close to eachother. Its just that Magnus is more consistent in winning/draws and loses less. But most games are draws.

[@jiggymgn]

Lemme guess, Alireza fan?

[@syedasrar2072]

I feel bad for the other player on the table.. most of the journalist start with 'question is mostly for Magnus...' Imagine being one of the top players just to be overshadowed by the attention towards Magnus 😃

[@joemares497]

Hmm, seems the boring draws will go on all the games ... The chess is already quite exhausted game ? Everything new already happened ?

[@OccamsTazer]

We had a tremendously exciting game yesterday, this seems like nit of an overreaction.

[@user-sb8vw7jx6z]

Game 1 was also a very interesting game. Game 3 was indeed a straightforward draw (on a high level).

[@martinpaddle]

Stockfish would win every game against any of these players, so from a human perspective, the game is far from exhausted... there is plenty of room for improvement

[@efthymiosn3381]

sadly alireza is not playing. The others are boring af

[@martinpaddle]

@@efthymiosn3381 the games are not boring, they are just not making any substantial mistakes. Alireza's tricky style seen so far would not work on these, so he would have to adapt and we'd see something similar (maybe with Caro-Kann and Giuoco Piano instead of Ruy Lopez)

[@lms904]

At least Magnus wins press conferences. The only thing he can win.
