The greatest chess match ever played. Not a single point in the entire match can you say "this is where magnus did this amazing move and turned the position towards himself"
Magnus slowly poisoned the board, slowly the advantage tilting towards him. Like a slow and controlled collapse of the situation. He was something else in that endgame
I will never forget that day. On 4chan, across /sp/, across /tg/, across reddit r/chess. The sheer amount of cope from magnus haters and underestimators, people calling him washed and finished were all seething .
This is THE modern chess match btw. This is the match that defines modern chess, and also magnus carlsen btw. Magnus carlsen with white, the longest game in WCC history
You just had to be there on that day man
This game broke nepo mentally. As Hikaru said, when you play magnus enough times he starts psychologically dominating you
