Don't Ask Magnus Stupid Questions 😡😡

[TwinBroz]

The fact Magnus sat there calculating checkmate in 22 before absolutely destroying the interviewer.

Magnus, when did you realize you were playing chess?

[DMN]

Every chess game starts out as a draw. The point is to play long enough that your opponents makes more errors than you do so you can turn that draw into a win.

[psychohist]

"I understood immediately" - that is, just before the first move, since Magnus considers chess a draw.

[kickballjedi]

"I realized it could end up a draw, but he was going to have to earn it."

[maniak]

A lot of people miss the first part of this question "Why were you playing so long in the endgame?" that's what triggered Magnus to answer the way he did

[Bulkmaster]

He actually got him to give a pretty good answer.

[VoyagerIsHere]

Asking the strongest chess grandmaster in the world, who's the current world champion since 10 years, when did you realize your game was a draw needs a special kind of obtuseness medal.

[ArthurSeijiNishikawa]

That was actually a pretty good question, as it _enticed_ Magnus to give such a gem of answer!

[Tideman]

It's a draw as long as both players keep on playing as would be expected, but there is always a chance the expected is not followed.

[AlexWyattDrums]

Magnus is salty here because he thinks the question asker is implying that he should not have kept playing if he knew it was a draw.
There are some chess journalists/commentators who like to debate whether it is unsportsmanlike to play out a dead draw for many moves. I think Magnus is expressing his disagreement with this view. He fights for every winning chance to the end, which is part of the reason he is world number one.

[khaledMohamed-tpwx]

He got the point of the question. He's just Salty about the draw.

[macnolds]

Dude, his signature style is to try to induce mistakes from opponents in drawn/drawish endgames via endurance and creativity. That's the main thing he does!

[f_sg]

Man really thought they kept playing because they couldn't figure out it was a draw 😂😂

[ThisSentenceIsFalse]

And this is why Magnus is famous for being able to squeeze milk out of stone.

[axeluchiha]

Magnus responded as if talking to a 4 year old. that was epic.

[dantecry]

Magnus isn't even trying to insult the guy lol you guys are just blowing this sh#t out of proportion

[Zannablu]

He did not have to be that arrogant. The question is not that stupid

[pputnam]

This is a guy with a 190 IQ. He's an absolute savant and best player in the world for going on 13 years, and you ask him that? Man you gotta raise your game...

[MrLimon]

Maybe he meant "at what move it became a clear draw?"
