The way in which Magnus Carlsen resigns this game is epic | Sarana vs Carlsen | World Blitz 2022

[@Niceonthefrenchriviera]

Sarana seems a very nice gentleman, very humble. Hope he achieves what he's hoping for!

Exactly my thoughts.

@@sebribo1873 I'm not sure what your point is. Hikaru was more than close enough to catch him with that loss against Sarana. Money and reputation was on the line those last few games, and I did see his loss to Nepo. He wasn't a poor sport about it or anything, and he and Nepo are rivals. It's different between them, and it's clear that Magnus was angry with himself there: none of that was guided toward Nepo. He even set up Nepo's pieces, and he didn't have to do that at all.

when he put the bishop back on e7, he took his hand off it on that square before knocking his knight over, thats why he resigned, because it was just going to be a free piece when put back on e7. he was losing anyway though

[@stevenbryant4718]

[@mrudulsuryavanshi2509]

Bishop was trapped. it had no squares to go

[@keralacitizen]

Not because he dropped or knocked that can be arranged back, he resigned because his bishop had no square to go. He missed that when exchanged queens

[@thear1s]

any idea how knight to D8 would have helped?

[@Warkive]

@@thear1s Doing so would have allowed Magnus to capture the rook on B7 if Sarana opted to capture the bishop. If Sarana (logically) chose to move the rook to protect it (like capturing on A7), Magnus could have found an escape square for his bishop at that point.

[@janhansen554]

Carlsen is getting better. Better to handle losses and better to have intervju after a loss. When he loose, he allmost allways says ".... played better than me and he outplayed me". When he loose againts younger players, he allways gives them credit and say nice things about their chess skills. He had some losses in this tourament, and he will never accuse them for cheating. He is growing up as a chessplayer. Sarana was the best in this game, as Magnus stated at national tv in Norway

[@henryjraymondiii961]

From a simply human standpoint, it appaers that Magnus may have been playing fast--knocked over a couple of pieces--and had momentary comfusion about the correct replacement of position, however many think that Magnus could not forget while in a hurry to play rapidly. He is only a man.

[@KnightToRemember]

[@cmcgloughlin]

Can I ask: why they re-set up the board except for the kings at the end of the match? Just curious

[@Lol-mj9yw]

It’s a way to give the result through the digital board. They put the 2 kings in the white center squares, which means white won (If black wins, they put them on the two black squares and if they draw they put one in a black square and one in a white square).

[@mikemodano863]

After the game they put the two kings in the center squares, if white wins = kings on the two white center squares, if black wins = the kings on the two black center squares, if it's a draw = one king on a black center square and the other king on a white center square. You can see them doing it at 5:20 in the video, and how the arbiter is staring at the board and then taking notes, most likely to see where they put the kings on the center squares.
