What's up with Magnus Carlsen? | World Rapid Day 1 recap by Sagar and Harshit

It's very rare that you see Magnus Carlsen struggle like he did on day 1 of the World Rapid 2024. He scored just 2.5/5 and was put under great pressure by his opponents. In this video IM Sagar Shah and GM Harshit Raja not only speak about Carlsen but also Raunak Sadhwani's great start and Hikaru Nakamura's very unlucky turn of event!

Sagar bhai, Kindly bring Gukesh on for analysing day 1 and let him begin with the words -

"I didnt see Magnus making a single good decision"

[_soumenpatra]

I just hope Arjun wins the rapid championship. Magnus drawing against lower rated opponents was the most surprising thing in day 1. Hikaru's 50 move draw on the brink of checkmate was something I saw for the first time.

[DanRaj-oy]

Not championship worthy play by Magnus. I demand that he increase his level. Not a single good decision made.

[_soumenpatra]

Great idea for a recap! This was perfectly balanced, walking around the boards with the positions already set up. And the analysis was just enough to explain the pivotal moment in each game, hooking in the casual audience too. Good job!

[shantanuthatte]

Petition to cover more games in the recap sagar bhai... Both Open and Women's section please

[kavithakandeepan]

what happened to pragg i cant see him perform as aspected

[illiminaty]

In my opinion the 59 move should have a condition that if there is a forced and the player can tell that to arbiter then the game sould be a win for the other guy as the 50 move rule was made thinking that 50 moves are enough for progress but if you can get progress in 51 move it should still be allowed

[P.M.]

Harshit bhai ka graduation ho gay kya?? 😅

[Avant]

So eagerly waiting for this
Ab samaj aa rha ki kya chl rha championship me
