Think how it would look if football (/soccer) players did this. "I would kick it to him, and then he would pass it to the defender, and then via midfield the ball would be passed to me again and I would kick the ball in the top left corner of the GOAAAAAL!!!"

I've never seen Magnus so heated before than in the interview with Maurice. 😂

Comes off poorly though. He's effectively an athlete. Athletes have to talk about their successes as well as their struggles. He can't shy away from those types of questions. A footballer who struggles in the first half and then has a decent game still has to come up with some kind of answer for what happened in the first half, even if it's a generic answer.

@@B3Band Disagree, the best always get frustrated by the tendency of others to tend towards "normality". I think he explained effectively that he's playing a higher level. Just because others don't see it as "smooth", the concepts is boring and well researched. Get them out of prep asap, that's when Magnus starts playing.

@@B3Band Comes off poorly, to you. I see a player not bending over to suit a commentator's whims. With justification too here, seemingly. Effectively the question boiled down to something like "why didn't you treat us to an even more perfect game?" Like asking an athlete who broke a track record something like "why didn't you beat the world record by a few seconds?" Well done Magnus.

@@anomaly3215 No, the little boy moved 1.b4 in the opening ceremony. Magnus has the right to accept that move or play what he wants instead. Dubov and Giri were laughing because Magnus was trolling his opponent by waiting so long to retract the 1.b4 move -- faking that he might actually keep it. That's why his opponent started to look worried as he would probably never have prepared for playing against 1. b4.

It was a gooffy opening that borders on disrespect (my take is magnus wanted to trhow his oponent out of the known theory or maybe he was just bored who knows) so when the other gm's see it they can help but laugh, u can also see that the oponent was not liking that move

@@daedalron Now the question is whether the official knows anything about opening theory - because if it was just a random move, leaving it out in the open could've easily be also laughing at the official's move, not necessarily against the opponent.
