What would be very nice and interesting : make a Netflix documentary before the WC match (part 1 prep; part 2 match with all reactions from both teams after blunders or missed opportunities; part 3 decompression or anger and future WC goals). Myself for sure and maybe 17 other people would watch it :D

Daniil giving Magnus ideas is very dangerous for everyone else

[alikilisli]

Russians: get the top GMs possible in a professional office on a rigid schedule .
Magnus: calls his bros.

[the.thinking.failure]

I don't know why I am surprised Daniil was part of his team! But glad he was! Congrats!

[Leon-ojcu]

This feels like a really good team dynamic

[garry]

So we have a Dane, a Frenchman, Russian, German and Dutchman. All working for the World Champion Norwegian. That's a pretty diverse team.

"I wanted a French guy in the team and MVL was not available "🤣🤣🤣 I love the shots they throw at each other

[frankjohnson]

I can tell Magnus is really good at interacting with the group. He gives everyone a clear and distinct role while remaining as kind of the "leader." Probably why he was so well prepped for the match.

The pawn sacrifice in the Catalan looked like an idea by Dubov Fabi said on his commentary. Seems he is right

[hellodave]

Just in case people don't know some of these players (as Magnus only gives first names for them):
GM Peter Heine Nielsen (FIDE 2618) world #178
GM Laurent Fressinet (FIDE 2630) world #144
GM Jan Gustafsson (FIDE 2643) world #107
GM Jorden van Foreest (FIDE 2702) world #34
GM Daniil Dubov (FIDE 2720) world #24

[THEGLORYRISING]

I believe dubov when he says "I'm responsible for the 'chess part'" and I think Magnus made a call integrating him into his team

[khktgnk]

There were some Dubov-esque ideas in some games so i'm not really surprised to see him. Probably one of the most exciting new(ish) players

[rara]

Ranked the players by their respective peak rating:
1. GM Daniil Dubov *FIDE 2720 world #24*
1. GM Laurent Fressinet *FIDE 2720 world #27* (tied)
3. GM Jorden van Foreest *FIDE 2702 world #34*
4. GM Peter Heine Nielsen *FIDE 2700 world #37*
5. GM Jan Gustafsson *FIDE 2652 world #92*

Hopefully that helped :-)

Always enjoyed Daniil's chess approach and I am so happy he is in the team!!! So creative and crazy! I feel like Magnus has a bit of every ingredient in order to have a completely balanced game! Nice people!

[jackcheetham]

3:02 Danill accidentally let slip that the russian team is incredibly gassy

[yatinnagar]

Oh boy, Danil Dubov in the Magnus's team

[flolupo]

There is a common denominator in winning teams: team spirit, people liking each other and being glad to be there and to work together.

[johannes.f.r.]

I already guessed Jorden because of the way Magnus told him he expected better after a blitz game. And many of the others were already known of course.

[darthbelicheck]

I always wanted a chessable course but magnus having Jan for his e5 and Marshall is one of the biggest marketing job for his e5 course. I’m getting it now, I’m sold.

[stubbornangels]

What a dream team. Congrats Magnus Carlsen and his team for winning World Chess Championship this year!
