1:00 Magnus just adjusting his pieces, except he very purposefully chose to adjust the g1 knight first. If he touches a piece other than a knight on the back rank, he's clearly just adjusting, same if he touches the b1 knight first because Nc3 is played 1/72nd as often as Nf3 on move 1. So, he touches the g1 knight first. Why? Because Nf3 is a viable first move and he just played with his opponents mind by getting him ready (even if only for a microsecond) for an opening Magnus had no intention of playing.
