The 2021 FIDE World Cup is a 206-player knockout taking place in Krasnaya Polyana, near Sochi, Russia from July 12 to August 6. The prize fund is almost $1.9m, with $110,000 for the winner, while the finalists also qualify for the 2022 Candidates Tournament. The top 50 players, who include world nos 1 and 2 Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana, are seeded directly into Round 2.
Each match consists of two classical games where the players have 90 minutes for 40 moves, then 30 minutes to the end of the game, plus a 30-second increment from move 1. If tied, a playoff will be held on the 3rd day. There are two 25+10 rapid games followed, if needed, by two 10+10 games, then two 5+3, and finally an Armageddon game, where White has 5 minutes to Black's 4 but a draw counts as a win for Black. No draw offers are allowed until after move 30. Official website: worldcup.fide.com

Magus Carlsen in an interview after third place match answered a question on his match yesterday, “I couldn’t focus, the World Cup was going through my mind, I did way too poorly under pressure and need to work on that.”

[@samuelbruyneel]

I have seen this game live, with commentary from GM's Daniel Naroditsky and Hou Yifan. Magnus' time management was really phenomenal. He went into really deep and time consuming thinks to bend a small disadvantage into a winning position while Fedoseef tried to move fast to keep time advantage. When they had reached move 40, Magnus had nearly used all of his time. But then they gained addititional time and after considering the situation, it was at that point Fedoseef resigned. That was the real good stuff...

[@jayeshyadav8891]

He literally played like an engine here

[@Mantose262]

I am a bit sad there was no "the bishops are fully operational" comment. Carlsen's bishops were crushing Fedoseev's position for most of the game.

[@colinpetersen1173]

It's interesting how in the post-analysis it seems so clear that black was dominant, but watching the coverage live it was not clear at all for quite a few moves after the rook sac. Carlsen was behind on the clock and the eval bar was showing white as favourite. In commentary Naroditsky and Hou Yifan said the eval was probably wrong and Carlsen had compensation for the sac, but they weren't very confident in their assessment and struggled to find how Carlsen would convert his activity advantage. Watching the post-analysis is great but watching in real-time gave me a lot of appreciation for Carlsen's ability to find the win over the board as the GMs in commentary struggled to find it even with engine assistance.

Magnus played on 3000 level against poor Fedoseev, and on 2700 level against Duda. I have one theory for the causality of the above.
