Its weird that he doesn't care about money anymore. If he did he would still be playing the world championship. You get automatic 800k just to show up and lose. 1.2million if he wins and qualifies for another free 800k. It seems like he really only plays for fun now

[@Philiopantheon82]

Nope that is just conspiracy theory, things could have been different but obviously Dubov had a moment of madness vs Nepo as that horse dance was proven to be non professional let alone losing respect of some his greatest fans, but anyways who cares as Magnus tried his best and at the end deserves it

[@frutato7498]

What would change exactly? if they drew then he would still win the title.

[@shubhamyadav8484]

Fide penalised both Dubov and Nepo by awarding 0 points instead of half point for the draw. If Dubov had those half points, he would be tied for first with Magnus. But again all these ifs and buts. I think they are professionals and focus more on how much money they are making.

[@matthewrigby6089]

I know it's risky, but it's kind of too bad Aronian doesn't make him sweat it out and play the game all the way through. If it ends in a draw, then fine, but this is a bit anti-climatic. I guess this is the downside of an open tournament as opposed to elimination.

[@yeyein]

Lol, he is looking for dubov game if winning or draw. After that he just make a draw with aronian when he realize dubov will have a draw.

[@gffg387]

How that works? Is that really an 100% draw position? I mean, there're plenty of pieces on the board, there could be at least a fight. But Magnus saw that he just needed a draw to win the tournament and after levon moved the bishop he offered the draw? Couldn't Levon deny the offer? These draws in chess are sometimes suspicious asf.

15.5 is because he still retained the 0.5 points despite the pre-arranged draw. His points after deduction are 15, which is 1 win below Magnus Carlsen so nothing to get salty about when there was nothing he could do.
