I wanna see Magnus vs Nepo in #9LX given how much better Nepo is than Magnus at #9LX i.e. Nepo is more talented than Magnus. Also given how much Magnus sucks at #9LX i.e. is a talentless patzer who crumbles without opening prep. Magnus was never the world champion. Wesley has been the world champion since 2019. Wesley will beat Magnus in Iceland in 2022Oct. Magnus may be the best currently, but Wesley is the most talented currently. Magnus lost 4-0 actually 13.5-2.5 to Wesley in #9LX . Chess = great = a combination of theory and talent #9LX = pure talent Talent is how good you are when there's no theory. Looks like Magnus is good only for openings. Turns out Magnus is a talentless patzer who crumbles without opening prep. PATHETIC. Note: Patzer means extremely good at openings but sucks at middlegames and endgames. So much for greatest endgame player of all time ey? Magnus is maybe a GOAT but THE GOAT? Please. How can you be THE GOAT when you're TALENTLESS? #saynoto2900 Wesley told Hikaru in stream that 50-70 years #9LX will replace chess. See my vids if you don't believe me. Wesley said in 2018 interview that Bobby or Garry is GOAT. Even if Magnus is GOAT, Magnus is definitely not MTOAT. Don't tell me about 2nd place. 2nd place in #9LX is pathetic for a 4x world chess champion esp 1 who later became 5x world chess champion. #9LX removes openings, so Magnus should be STRONGER not LESS STRONG. Yet Magnus lost 13.5-2.5 to Wesley and didn't get a single win. Why?!?!?!!!! again Magnus is a coward because: The #9LX world championship in Iceland doesn't have a candidates the same way the last 4 world chess championships do. Magnus had the privilege to defend against ONLY 1 OPPONENT each of the last 4 times. Here, there isn't like a tournament / a series of tournaments and then the unique winner will face Wesley. Rather Wesley and Magnus will play others in a tournament. Basically Wesley has to play the #9LX candidates to retain the world #9LX title while Magnus never had to play the candidates the last 4 times! If Magnus isn't a coward then Magnus should complain about this! Why the Hell should we accept a new champion esp if it's Magnus if they become champion without beating Wesley? Imagine a round robin of just Wesley Magnus Nepo and Fabi. Imagine they all draw except 1 game where Magnus beats Nepo. Then Magnus out-scores Wesley to become world #9LX champion without actually beating Wesley? PATHETIC! ABSURD! REPREHENSIBLE! COWARDLY! #saynoto2900 Bobby Fischer was on top for only a short period of time because FIDE and Anatoly Karpov were cowards who ran away from Bobby. See? It's happening again. FIDE and Magnus are being cowards running away from Wesley. #9LX #saynoto2900 Quote 1: After playing Chess960, I realise how mentally unwell chess players become the more they play it. They know they will get the same ideal setup every game and they deny the fact that they will mess it up unless they memorise some other geek's ideas. In Chess960 there is nothing to deny. You know you are going to get a far from ideal start position and you know it is up to you to make the best of it and you know you will be playing moves nobody has tried before.

I actually got the pause the video! The only thing I could think was the isolated pawn was a weakness. But probably Agad had telegraphed this by telling us the white bishop had to be captured instead of Nepo's move, without which I wouldn't have seen it. But once again Agad made me dream of finding a Magnus winning move.

Thank you, you are the best. Your analysis shows the clear difference between 2800+ and 2700+ ELO play. Great players seem to thrive on doubled isolated pawns as good players are afraid of.

What about Wesley So? I wanna see Magnus vs Nepo in #9LX given how much better Nepo is than Magnus at #9LX i.e. Nepo is more talented than Magnus. Also given how much Magnus sucks at #9LX i.e. is a talentless patzer who crumbles without opening prep. Magnus was never the world champion. Wesley has been the world champion since 2019. Wesley will beat Magnus in Iceland in 2022Oct. Magnus may be the best currently, but Wesley is the most talented currently. Magnus lost 4-0 actually 13.5-2.5 to Wesley in #9LX . Chess = great = a combination of theory and talent #9LX = pure talent Talent is how good you are when there's no theory. Looks like Magnus is good only for openings. Turns out Magnus is a talentless patzer who crumbles without opening prep. PATHETIC. Note: Patzer means extremely good at openings but sucks at middlegames and endgames. So much for greatest endgame player of all time ey? Magnus is maybe a GOAT but THE GOAT? Please. How can you be THE GOAT when you're TALENTLESS? #saynoto2900 Wesley told Hikaru in stream that 50-70 years #9LX will replace chess. See my vids if you don't believe me. Wesley said in 2018 interview that Bobby or Garry is GOAT. Even if Magnus is GOAT, Magnus is definitely not MTOAT. Don't tell me about 2nd place. 2nd place in #9LX is pathetic for a 4x world chess champion esp 1 who later became 5x world chess champion. #9LX removes openings, so Magnus should be STRONGER not LESS STRONG. Yet Magnus lost 13.5-2.5 to Wesley and didn't get a single win. Why?!?!?!!!! again Magnus is a coward because: The #9LX world championship in Iceland doesn't have a candidates the same way the last 4 world chess championships do. Magnus had the privilege to defend against ONLY 1 OPPONENT each of the last 4 times. Here, there isn't like a tournament / a series of tournaments and then the unique winner will face Wesley. Rather Wesley and Magnus will play others in a tournament. Basically Wesley has to play the #9LX candidates to retain the world #9LX title while Magnus never had to play the candidates the last 4 times! If Magnus isn't a coward then Magnus should complain about this! Why the Hell should we accept a new champion esp if it's Magnus if they become champion without beating Wesley? Imagine a round robin of just Wesley Magnus Nepo and Fabi. Imagine they all draw except 1 game where Magnus beats Nepo. Then Magnus out-scores Wesley to become world #9LX champion without actually beating Wesley? PATHETIC! ABSURD! REPREHENSIBLE!

Interesting watching your commentary/analysis vs Gotham's - he told the story as though Magnus had the win in the bad right after Rhe2, while you were a little more "simply stating the moves and perhaps the reason behind them," which I like.
