When Magnus Crushed Hikaru Nakamura

Magnus Carlsen was a two in a row World Blitz Champion, when he met Hikaru in the 2019 World Blitz Finals.. Both players being extremely talented in the format, it was going to have to be a close match.. But things didn't go quite as planned for Hikaru...

[@solarchat9413]

You stupid enough to think that magnus prepares at the last moment?

[@vbertrand]

The thing is : against Carlsen, any strong GM will never feel like they blundered; they will feel like they played their best moves. But Carlsen will grind you down slowly and surely, with subtles (one could say insignifiant) advantages. And, all of a sudden, unknowingly, they all add-up as a deadly blow.

He's probably confused because it's different from the moves he thought he would make. Specially when Hikaru blunders, then I'm sure Magnus is thinking if he missed something that Hikaru saw considering how few blunders they usually make.
