12:00 Magnus explaining how he cast a magic spell over the pieces to win the game

[Hephaestus_God]

This was a crazy game where both players were basicallyi at 95% favored multiple times and it kept going back and forth, here is where things went crazy:

5:08 Magnus sacrifices his knight for a discovered check to take f7. (magnus is down)
5:50 Magnus sacrifices his Rook now. (Magnus is down even more after a couple trades)
6:30 - 7:05 String of moves that lets Rapport take Magnus' Rook (Magnus is now down 2 rooks, all seeems lost)

7:43 4 moves after he lost his rook he is now winning the game. (All he needs to do next is play f3 to block Rapports queen from the middle of the board. If he does this there is a potential mate in 2.... Make a queen on f8, Rd8 takes Qf8, Qd5 for checkmate in 2 thanks to pawn at f3 blocking the queen. This can't be stopped and would guarentee win if he starts it)

7:45 Magnus doesn't see this and plays out of order instead of f3 first. He makes a queen first for the rook move and then moves his Queen to d7 hoping for a mate that way. (Stockfish drops Magnus's winning position to basically losing the game at this point)

7:52 - 9:16 Its time for Rapports crazy check race to prevent mate. He sacrifices his rook first and after 2 min gets magnus to trade queens leaving Rapport up a rook. The game is basically his now. It's over.

10:09 Rapports messes up his crazy lead by not realzing he needed to move his queen at g4 to e6, instead he goes nuts and starts trying to promote another pawn.

10:33 After going crazy and giving random checks at this point the game is now tied. Rapport has blown his insane lead and gave Magnus his opportunity for the win.

10:36 Rapport immediatly blunders a promotin since if he takes the queen he unpins the other and Magnus can mate. In a few more move Rapport ends up losing the game.

What a crazy match

[MonkeyDIvan]

My heart was seriosuly bleeing for Rapport. His expressions at 10:36 conveyed such raw emotions, he looked so confused and perplexed, really just in total disbelief. I don't think I've ever felt this much tension watching a game, combined with the visible shaking on the World Champion's part, this really made for an outstanding game. I know I would not be able to sleep the night after knowing I had the chance to beat the World Champion in such a winning position, only to succumb to the pressure and end up losing the game. Chess is brutal.

[AFFLICTED]

Wow this was the best battle between hair I’ve ever seen

[anishgupta]

Once the opponent blunders, magnus doesn't leave that opportunity to win but if magnus blunders, the opponent also blunders to make the game equal 😂

[harze]

Absolutely! Specials, How attacking starts 5:10, Magnus made Queen 7:45, pawn in A6 what is so powerful. I really think that its over when Rapport take bishop 7:50 and later checked G5. How about 8:48 if Magnus but the king somewhere else. Yes, insane game! Beautiful!

[marsal]

As a Norwegian life long fan of Magnus, I can’t help but admire Rapport for his style of chess, whether it be blitz or classical. The modern Tal of chess in terms of attacking play. Amazing game

[RenaldoG]

His expression at 10:36 when he thinks Magnus is reaching for a handshake when in fact he is getting a Queen is heartbreaking for Rapport. You can a couple of seconds later he shakes his head and completely goes from ecstasy to depression.

[yahia]

Rapport really deserved the W here ... but Magnus is just too good converting.

[hongnhungnguyen]

9:23, Magnus's left hand was shaky, he was tensed, and It's the first time I've seen him shivering uncontrollably. Well played.

[ronburgundy]

What an intense game. You can see Magnus’ hands shaking at 10:28 and 10:55. well deserved win

[jolly_roger]

This could have been a masterpiece for the books, incredible calculation by Rapport after seizing the initiative with Rxf4! Just a shame at the end nerves got the best of him
Black was completely winning, then Magnus had a chance but lost control and then Richard played 20 perfect moves before missing Rc6+ at 10:23 to win white's queen! Feels bad for him

[Philopantheon]

Daniel Dubov appear on the scene like a wizard

[snoopy]

8:42 first time i've seen king taken off the board in the middle of the game 🤣

[comedianswithoutcars]

What an interesting pawn move at 8:31 from Magnus - a lateral hit and run.

[NotTheWheel]

Anybody else think Magnus seems to be enjoying Chess more now that he's not having to do a World Champion title defense. Feels more energetic now iunno.

[nc]

Magnus is trying to encapsule the hair style of Cthulhu to engulf the mind and chess world of his opponent 💀 ♟️

[NotQuiteFirst]

And this is why they say: NEVER RESIGN!

[English_Daddy]

One of the most incredible, outrageous and mindblowing games in the history of chess!

[Uhthis]

It is terrific to see such passion in these players, hearing the hall echo with hands striking clocks with such urgency as they battle for the lives of their kings, even Magnus hitting the clock harder and harder, the love for the sport is strong!
