Crazy how Magnus can just give away a pawn and the engine is like: understanable, have a nice day

[Philopantheon]

That guy gazing at Magnus for a whole minute but Magnus went 1.h5😂

[AxisofHonor]

Been watching most of the games by Magnus posted on this channel at this tournament, and the recurring thing that I see is that pretty much all these games are even for so long until his opponents run low on time and they just start making compounding mistakes that he immediately capitalizes on while still maintaining pinpoint accuracy despite opening the game dubiously on purpose. Also puts pressure on his opponents by making the little improving prophylactic that shut down all counter play. Arguably this what he’s been doing for most of his career, but to see it done repeatedly in the same tournament is remarkable.

This game was like Paul Morphy's giving odds of pawn😂😂😂

Mahnus hiding his smug face when he played his opening 😭🤣🤣

[keralacitizen]

White had advantage, but as usual opponents panicks and handover win to Carlson. He definitely knows some viking magik!

[jackson]

h5 is actually not as bad as many people think it is, for the cost of a pawn black got an open file for his rook without even having to move it. Food for thought.
