Magnus has been sick the last days. Food poisoning. He said it on an Norwegian tv- sport channel. Almost no sleep and food. And his mother passed away 11 days ago. 😥

People forget that Prime MVL at one point gained 112 rating points in 6months as a top 30 grand master

It's really interesting to see how "incorrect" my stockfish is compared to something Hikaru is using to analyze these games

[GlassOfWater]

Hikaru following Magnus on foot hence the fast upload. fanboi #1

At around 21:00 where a move or plan was wanted, it may have come about by pushing the F2 pawn. It was totally left out of the game. Time may have been an issue because black was positioning on the A file. An alternative to working with the F2 pawn could be the D3 rook, moving it to E3 for entry into black's zone with defence from the D5 knight. To take up that route, the D1 rook would need movement to A1 first, to defend/discourage the A-file attack. The A-file attack seems to be the only cause of an urgency. So, all of this I have suggested would be to keep the queens on the board but potentially simplifying the game by permitting the rooks to clash otherwise letting the rooks begin to eat. With the rooks gone, the pawns shaping things would be more accessible for eating. With thanks.

1:38 What I've noticed is that evaluation margins like 0.00 ~ 0.60 ± 0.1 are completely negligible in SOME positions, specially during openings and some endgames, as there are multiple variations. For example, in a bishop vs rook endgame, the engine will point to something close to +0.3 to the color that has the rook, but that is a draw in the tablebases (again, depending on the specific position). Another example is game 6 of the World Chess Championship with Ian against Magnus, where Ian (black) had a queen against 2 pawns, a rook and a knight. The Engine would say +0.6 but in the tablebases it is a draw. Even in Alekhine's Defense the evaluation bar would complain a little bit sometimes with up to +0.8 but with solid play, the game quickly equalizes (or you can just be Fischer and play Alekhine's Defense in the World Championship and win :p). If you play h3 there, the game can go either way without clear advantage to each side.

MVL is definitely the only consistent Magnesian Terminator. It seems to me that he often stands a 70% chance of beating Magnus while just 50/50 against other players.

i have to agree with everyone else... his mother did just pass away, it be hard to concentrate... my brother passed away a couple a years ago and i was not in a good place for like weeks... my condolences to Magnus and his family... @GMHikaru, we appreciate you very much; do you by any chance have a chessable course?

[circleitis]

I love how the titles are always even though the introduction is always "Welcome back everyone😁, for video"
