When Magnus blunders tho, his opponent effectively resigns by a thousand self-inflicted cuts: valuing hype more than skill or self-confidence.

It's always incredible what these guys can see in split seconds, but just as incredible what they sometimes miss. Just Madmax. great analysis as always, thanks :)

Magnus seems to enjoying himself. Totally different story from Bobby

I was there live 😊 crazy game to see live

It’s just not even fair…, how?!?!

Instead of "Magnus goes wrong" it might be safer for analysts to say "I don't understand why Magnus did that." He may have foreseen an endgame in which his rook and bishop were worth more than 5 and 3 points, respectively. Combined with the king, they would overpower black's queen and sherpherd a pawn to promotion. I would never foresee that possibility, but Magnus ... maybe.

No he definitely went wrong, this is quite a simple endgame to win as you just promote quite easily, a queen is much better then a knight and rook vs queen, I think most people would have no trouble winning that position against stockfish in bullet, even as low as id say 1200

Nah, it's a blitz game and he made some mistakes, as would anyone in a game with constant time pressure.

This guy is always genius

T hat was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Magnus trained at Hogwarts.

Nice!

joseph knew had he won, Magnus and his horde of worshippers will accuse him of cheating

Magnus shows he can play without a queen. What a gem is he!! It shows he is the chess history's THE BEST PLAYER.

Imo Magnus Carlson is good at playing chess

I dont even know of it was a blunder or he calculated it. Probably blunder? When I've seen him sac queen before he got 3 minor pieces for it.

Fantastic

Tell you one thing: Kortschnoi once gave a queen in a simul for a rook and knight and succeeeded against a decent player.

​@@JohnDuthie After watching some of Kramnik's clips with the aim of viewing some quality cringe, I came to the realization that much of the drama has actually been stirred up by the likes of Hikaru and Gotham. Kramnik has some interesting insights and questions which we should be keen to answer, not quick to ridicule. After all, the aim to eliminate cheating is an honest one, and many prominent GM's have agreed that cheating is a major problem, especially in unregulated online events.

Part of me feels like Magnus gave up his queen just to give himself a challenge lol

No way he should’ve lost the game once he took Magnus’s Queen seemed to Blunder the game away after that point clearly taking the Knight with the Rook was way to go than recapturing with Bishop forking Magnus’s Rook but instead captures with Bishop second Blunder pushing his pawn instead of cleaning up and taking pawns from Magnus i can see how Nordibek was able to comeback in his game against Parham today in Prague but this guy pretty much blew this game I wonder if Magnus saw that move where he could’ve won back the Queen at the end or maybe he just wanted to keep his Rook ? It was a pretty obvious move
