Magnus is visibly hurt
Biggest problem with the world championship is that there isn't a clear number 2. Everyone just agrees Magnus is the best. A world championship should be between two players who consider themselves (and by at least some people in the public) the best players in the world.
4:38:38 🤣
Overall very bad performance by Magnus. Barely won. Lost his number one rating spot in rapid and blitz to his main nemesis Hikaru. Lost a ton of rating points.
Very good coverage!
Very good the ALIREZA🔥🔥
Stunning performance from the World's #5 blitz player! Congrats Magnus!
Alireza has proved himself as a beast and a very strong rival for the next world champion.
all these player think they have a chance of winning but they all know that Yasser is the champ
We all live in the era of Hikaru Nakamura. The greatest bullet, blitz and rapid player of all time. Magnus fans, I'm sorry to bring you this sad truth.Don't worry, being number 2 in rapid and number 5 in blitz is also not bad 😂
Most impressed by Firozja 💯🥸
As someone who learned chess well enough to no longer be beaten by all my friends back when Kasparov was the reigning world champ, it’s a pleasure and an honor to finally hear him analyze a game in real time at 2:49:30
2:42:15 (or 2:32:25) – Kasparov about the current situation with the World Championship title
Good commentators and analysis. Not a fan of this board layout, gfx design, at all. Too busy and why the big boarders on the live board?
