@moveabledo If he needs to think this long in opening moves, I don't think he would be playing at this level. Chess players study opening moves like textbook.

Kovalev is such a gentleman. -Wanted to wait for Magnus to actually show up, tried to push the judges to do it -Even when he was late, offered a handshake proper -Played a pretty good game of chess -Shook hands at the end and went about the rest of his day proper, no drama, no fits, no complaining.

People are so easily impressed by someone who does what he supposed to do. If he refused to shake hands, if he push the judges to start immediately, if he made dramas, complained, etc, no a single soul would be on his side, yet he didn't do those things, he's a gentleman worthy of high praise.

So based on the comments it sounds like Magnus would have lost if Kovalev didn't waste time right?

This man was not only late but also found the time to rearrange his pieces mid move

At that level, what is satisfying is not winning by handicap but winning by fair play

Magnus looked like he got out of bed 5 minutes before.

There were cases where Carlsen has also wait for his opponents to make it to the match, showing true sportsmanship... so, IMO, if they postponed the match those 5 minutes + Kovalev not starting the clock on time: he deserves it - as much as any other player on a world's championship. Okay, they have responsibilities and all, but sometimes there is a thing called LIFE that goes over all of us. I commend Kovalev for his actions, actively and passively taken.

​@@kunalsingh4418 you are dead wrong. he used one and a half minutes for two moves that's half his time, there's no way it takes that long for a GM who saw this line many times in his career to think of which line to play. he just wanted an equal fight and intentionally ran the clock down.

bro there was so many times in the end where by the time magus taps the time thing Kovalev already finished moving his pieces... and you look over at magnus and he's straightening his peices with like 4 seconds left, what a leagened

I love how Magnus adjusted all his pieces before hitting the clock to let Kovalev know he’s ok there no need to waste the clock on his behalf.

Impressed by Magnus, but even more impressed by Kovalev. He drained his own clock to help even it out. That's a very classy move, to want to play fair even when circumstance put him in a better position.

The game is 3 minutes+ 2 seconds increment It means that everytime you make a move, 2 seconds will be added to your clock. It is generally helpful because say you're winning but you just have 10 seconds on clock & your opponent has 1 minutes then he'll beat you on time. 2 seconds increment will help you win(obviously you'll loose if you spend all 10 sec. Without making a move
