The runner up is usually not scheduled for an interview, the fact that Magnus specially asked for one and wanted to share his thoughts speaks volumes to how much he enjoyed the match. Magnus gave up his world title because he was worn out by the whole process year after year and stopped enjoying it, almost seems like this encounter rekindled his love for chess lol. Super nice to see. Never have I ever seen Magnus so “happy” after a defeat, or ever for that matter, and so so complimentary of anyone. Their mutual respect for each other is wonderful to see, and an example for every chess fan. What a time to be alive as a chess fan!

Controlling time is part of the strategy. It is never stated in the rules that burning the clock is illegal. As long as he does not violate any rules, he is entirely fair and square. Besides, if a player can even manipulate the clock or time he has, that's a sign that he is in control and a much better of the two opposing players, and therefore, he deserves to win more than the other.

Time being part of the game doesn't justify this nonsense. Looking for the people in the comments that would defend a football team running to the corner flag in the 50th minute of a 90 minute game to defend a lead. Yeah it's totally legal, but are you going to say that's a great strategy? Is that what the fans deserve to see? It's ridiculous that this time stalling is being defended because "TiMe Is A pArT oF tHe GaMe".
Magnus was all class in the interview, good to see how much he enjoyed the match
To people being mad that Hikaru was stalling, time advantage is literally part of the game. If the second to last game Magnus had been more strategic to resign a couple seconds earlier, he would've had enough time for one more chance at the end. He bet on himself and took a rare L. Just enjoy the game and wait for their future matchups.

For people who don’t know; the reason Naroditsky is such a good commentator is because he’s rated #1 in the world (in bullet). It’s why he’s finding moves so fast. With the eval bar he’d be unstoppable.

I can tell that people wouldn't like the stalling but personally i think it's genius, and it means that hikaru recognize that he needs to take every single advantage he can and ultimately that 2-3 seconds bear fruits. Such such a great match! I wouldn't start to imagine that watching chess could be so blood pumping before amd that i think we can credit to the commentators, such an amazing event!
Regardless of who won, the biggest takeaway is just how far ahead these two guys are from the rest of the competition. I mean this was the only match either had that was remotely close. Freaking legends.

If Hikaru didn't stall the time, every chess player would have thought it was stupid of him not to stall, no one will claim it's for "sportsmanship" Just like in the NBA, if a team didn't stall with less than 30secs on the clock and a 2 point lead, everybody would call that a stupid ass decision.

MAGNUS played his best ever but HIKARU beat him. Hikaru took advantage of every opportunity that came his way including using the time to his advantage. This is a display of astute strategy showing that winning is not only about scoring high but preventing the opponent to catch up by wasting the time in his favor and not giving his opponent a chance to play one more time. That is brilliant. Magnus was given the opportunity to win when he tied the game with still a lot of time for him to take the lead and the momentum is on his side. But Hikaru was able to neutralize him and even score one point more. This proves that in this game, Hikaru is the better player and he deserves to be crowned as the champion of Speedchess 2022.
