Alireza plays the game of chess with creativity in mind and does not go by the book. That is why he does not care if the position is known or not. True, he makes mistakes but this is also why the true spirit of chess is displayed when he plays it.

[@josem-1-2-3]

Bro, what are you talking about?? You are hilarious!!! Alireza clearly said in the post interview that he was throwing main lines at Magnus, where if you don't know your stuff and deviate, you lose.

[@josem-1-2-3]

Alireza clearly went by the book. 🤡

[@divinity996]

Obviously you have no understanding between mainlines and book moves, mainlines are a series of moves considered as the best by top players, and this can change overtime, mainlines can become sidelines and sidelines can become mainlines, but book moves are considered standard especially in opening theory, book moves are played only in the opening phase, mainlines are played in the middlegame, which is why after the last book move, the players are said to be "out of book" .

[@nazarenoalmiron526]

Also, besides what everyone said before me, I remind you Magnus is known for going off-book to throw opponents off.

[@josem-1-2-3]

@@divinity996 There's nothing creative about memorizing main lines. It pretty straightforward.

“Chess content creator is going to make a video about this very relevant chess event”

[@zachhaywood1564]

​@@elmomierz A big part of it is the clickbait.

[@elmomierz]

@@zachhaywood1564 the title of the video you’re commenting on is “the WILD final game between Magnus and Alireza”, and the thumbnail is literally a blown up picture of magnus reaching out at what looks like an Indiana jones photoshop of Alireza. It’s literally designed to look like a movie poster.

@elmomierz I mean GothamChess' videos are too clickbait-y. This video here is exactly as advertised.

On form Alireza is scary, no one in the world was beating him tonight

[@jamesli2545]

I mean, Magnus blundered to miss the easy 4th game win.

[@JT11111]

@@jamesli2545 similar thing happened to Alireza in the last Chess Championship Tournament that happened in bracket reset, no excuses allowed, Alireza BODIED Magnus, its not like getting lucky for 1 game decides the next 3/4 games

[@jamesli2545]

@@JT11111 Alireza bodied him after he got tilted. I wouldnt say he was unstoppable, but he certanly outplayed magnus and deserves the win.

[@JT11111]

@@jamesli2545 tilt is an excuse to deflect from the better player winning, always, Magnus got “tilted” because he realised he’s not the better man tonight, and though he was winning game 4 Alireza still showed resilience that was unexpected by Carlsen and made him blunder

[@duydatyds]

@@jamesli2545 oh common, Alireza only lose the first few games because he's tilted. See how easy to make the same excuse?

[@Nykeclips]

This is why Magnus said he wouldnt play the world championship unless its against Alireza. He holds him to high expectations. Glad to see Alireza finally showing some signs of life again. Last few times they played he didnt do too well ever since magnus basically said "Alireza is next up"

[@fakrulotaku5655]

That’s the true form of Alireza❤ I just hope he starts playing like this in the candidates

i swear these videos are ridiculous just because alireza had a bad games for sometimes doesn't mean this guy is done or something every top player had a lot of the same thing and the same thing can be said about magnus he is washed up he should retire 😂 and still destroy every super gm the next day people should just calm down

[@mehdimehdikhani5899]

People like to mention that firouzja was losing in game 4 but forget that he was winning in that game at first before spoiling it. Mistakes happen in a blitz game, and in that game, magnus made the last mistake.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

People really came down hard on Alireza because of his poor performance in the Candidates You don’t hear a peep out of any of the haters since he showed he is capable of Beating the Best there is

[@furstfr]

Yea but at the same time if you need to show up in a tournament it’s the Candidates. Respectfully, what are the stakes in this?

when ali first started playing rapid tournaments online during covid, he wasn't winning anything. fast forward 4 years and he's the only player who has a prayer of hanging with magz consistently

Alireza Firouzja Well done

[@aliboubes3336]

It is funny how some people say that magnus did miss up firouza wasn't better than him but when someone misses up against magnus that because "magnus effect"

Great Game by Alireza he really showed up for these finals fantastic

[@danielc608]

[@cactusbet4355]

No one is more afraid of Alireza than Magnus. That is why Magnus wanted to compete with Alireza for the world championship

[@raymondsublett3108]

@cactusbet4355 definitely bot afraid, respectful yes. If the both bring their A+ game Magnus wins 8/10 times

[@spghose2437]

Have I seen Magnus so helpless! Can't remember! Oh Ali Reza! You are like Muhammad Ali....the great boxer

[@raymondsublett3108]

@spghose2437 Magnus was due for a loss. He won 7 or 8 tournaments in a row. MVL did the same thing last year and we saw what happened in Toronto when it actually mattered 😆.

Alireza: does first move Naroditsky: This is completely winning! this time its obvious

[@raymondsublett3108]

@Astrovic1 something fishy was up imo. Felt like Naroditsky had an inside scoop that Magnus was going to throw this one on purpose, I could definitely be wrong though. Magnus also looked beat or hung over.

Unlike Hikaru, Magnus is not arrogant!

[@scottwarren4998]

Hikaru can't accept that hikaru isn't 120 elo better in classic. So, to compensate he is arrogant.

[@JonathanCodes-ol1cm]

Alireza is Magnus's kryptonite.

[@Goblonium]

Not really, maybe Duda or Pragg.

[@raymondsublett3108]

@gingerbread4801 alcohol the night before a tournament is Magnus' cryptonite. MVL did this exact same thing to Magnus and then we saw Magnus stomp everyone including MVL in Toronto. He was due for an L either way, the man's been winning every single tournament he's played in.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Magnus fans kind of quiet too 😂😂😂I mean not the usual Brouhaha from his fans which sickens me to my stomach Yes Magnus is the Greatest but too much from his so called followers

[@TimothyHTrain]

He's just so happy when he wins, hahaha. It's a joy to see. But the Magnus effect makes Firouzja's win here pretty sweet.

[@raymondsublett3108]

@michaelmassaro4375 Magnus was hung over or tired from playing teo tournaments so definitely not on his A game. Missed way too many tactics that he normally would see in his sleep, that or he was sandbagging and played it off like he wasn't. MVL beat Magnus this same way last year and we saw what happened in Toronto when it came to the big money.

[@sidenote1459]

if alireza plays like this in candidates, he finishes top 2 or 3. Maybe even wins. a shame he wasn't on form then, but glad to see him back now

[@barnowl2832]

I think playing like this was his main problem in the candidates! Can't expect playing like you have white in a blitz Armageddon to work at the candidates !!

[@xanderjakovlev4193]

Stop comparing classical chess and these 10/15 min formats... Nobody would give him an opportunity to play like this in the candidates ))

[@samandmax42]

Nah, he'd get bodied, totally different playstyle. But this proves that Guccireza has one of the best instincts for the game.

[@sidenote1459]

​@@samandmax42 Sounds like recency bias to me. He's historically been great at classical too. won a few high profile tourneys as well. But he just has failed to take classical seriously lately, which is a shame.
