The game that made Magnus Carlsen the World Rapid Champion 2019

Usually when it is the championship game, you often see players slightly tensed or nervous. But you can see how Magnus Carlsen plays each and every move in this game with great confidence against Hikaru Nakamura. He has a full point lead over the field and instead of him offering a draw, it was Nakamura who had to ask for the half point.

After becoming the World Rapid Champion we show you the after-moments of Carlsen's victory, a glimpse from the interview after becoming the champion and the presentation ceremony at the end!

During Quarantine I learned:
There's a guy named Magnus Carlsen
Magnus is a chess player
Magnus is the best chess player in the world

[ineedsleep]

Nobody:

Youtube: *Once you go chess, all recommendation will be chess.*

[barisgl]

Magnus wins
Magnus: -_-
Hikaru: -_-
Everyone: -_-

[WJEF]

The two playing next to magnus and hikaru admiring the presence of two of some of the greatest chess players of all time. Respect

[ZitoxLD]

For those who don't understand how they agreed on a draw, look at 4:50, Hikaru move his Queen on a1 and says "I offer a draw", you can see his mouth saying that, and also hear it when your turn up your volume. So Magnus just gives his hand to accept it because a draw was enough for him to be the World Champion

Me when I play chess:
*moves a pawn forward*
Me: I offer a draw.

[LucasLittleOfficial]

0:06 ah the greatest chess handshake ever.

[sam-ousthewise]

Just started chess as of today with my girlfriend, we have literally played all day, what an incredible game. It looks complicated (and it is) but it's all about how each piece will move. Brilliant. I have been intimated by the game for so long, wish I would have started sooner.

[SPACEHARICE]

I couldn't imagine how far these guys are thinking ahead

Guys who found Chess during quarantine, welcome to the community!

That's an excellent handshake round from both of them. Hikaru wanted to surprise Carlsen with an over-the-shoulder walk-up into a smooth hand delivery with the straight arm. Carlsen countered quickly with his classic underhanded pull up. Both executed a clean grab, shake, and release. This'll be a tough one for the judges. The two played chess afterwards.

[iamh]

Carlsen, the dude who can make Hikaru feel what it feels like playing against him.

[deleby]

Rapid chess, where even the handshakes are rapid.

[Krumelur]

Now that I've seen "The Queen's Gambit", Hikaru looking up at the ceiling makes sense. He must've forgotten his pills on this day though.

[ricchburglar]

Chess is like a drug. You start with a simple meme and before you know it your playing it till 11 pm everyday.

[tanmaychaturvedi]

The loudest battle with no noise, that's what make chess and these two legend players amazing

[harmyb]

Take away the chess board, and this is a really awkward first date

[tacotimmer]

That was the smoothest handshake I've ever seen in my life at the beginning.

[andrefrazao]

Me: *predicts a single move in the entire game*
Also me: "I frickin knew it!!"

[antarchi]

I think I may have a slight addiction to watching people play chess. It’s just so cool to witness people being truly good at this game 💖
