@@Alain9-1 They reached the first (or second i don't remmember) CCT grand final, where Magnus defeated Liren and Naka defeated Caruana, reaching the final of the gran final. That match was a 7 days match, easy day had 4 games and in case of tie, 2 blitz games and if still tie, the armageddon. They won 3 days each, and in the 7th day they reached Armageddon, that was a real fight

Starts at 33:00 Game 2 55:00 Game 3 1:32:47 Game 4 2:01:19 Game 5 2:36:26 Reset Game 1 3:05:28 Game 2 3:30:20 Game 3 4:01:55 Interview 4:27:45

This format is by far the best chess to watch. Classical chess will never be on tv, but these quicker games certainly could. The wild scramble at the end is unreal.

That was one heck of an experience. The tension, the commentary, the drama, the genius back and forth, loved it!

@@juliocadavid6640 I despise how people discount Alireza probably on unspoken national origins and your comment is a good example. Magnus was beat by Alireza 3 times neat and square in this tournament and Magnus only beat him just one time in 8 games ! Beside that they drew 4 times. That is evidence of undeniable superiority of Alireza in this tournament against Magnus. Especially since Alireza had to make two wins advance against Magnus for going through the losers branch. Plus Alireza crushed both Denis and Vincent like it was normal when Magnus struggled against both especially Vincent. There is nothing crazy about Alireza winning, he is the clearly superior player based on these results. If they had just played a best of two games final and drawn on the 1st game then win on second game then yes that would be a little win but for god's sake they played 8 games ! Alireza with a 3 games superiority. Your comment is in denial and hypocritical. Accept the reality.

As much as i like these 2, and a good majority of the commentators, i how more organized tourneys (i guess events?) adapt less talking than repeats/regurgitation. Some times, complete silence is preferred. It adds intensity. Like golf. Hold your breath. This doesn't have to be like an esports event. Let's relax a bit ya know?

However, Alireza Ferouzja has once more debunked even one of the greatest chess minds of all time!
