This was an awesome display of their strengths . Magnus showed that he can bamboozle his opponents even when he has a lost position but Hikaru countered by showing he could flag anyone including Magnus in an equal position .

Waiting for Hikaru's recap with the 'welcome back everyone' any moment now!

Hikaru watching that clock like a hawk lmao

[MahnK]

Magnus came back without a queen. Bro proved why he's #1

Magnus also pull UNO reverse but Hikaru has another UNO card on his sleeve as well.

[SamoKamnik]

these two are geniuses but what i liked the most in a long time was seeing them both smile in the end! its how anything should end

[playza]

You got to love how they both got super upset with themselves on how they played but then said whatever after the game with a smile remembering its just a fun game between these two masters

[cyruswong]

Umm yes, stockfish vs AlphaZero in real life

[Hintz]

Being alive to witness these two battling head to head through their primes is such a treat. It’s the Chess equivalent of Ronaldo/Messi. I’m glad Magnus has decided to continue his career on his own terms and Hikaru is peaking. We’re simply lucky to be able to watch this rivalry as it unfolds.

I love that even the very best player, the greatest of all time, pauses to replace the pieces on the board at the end.

I’m surprised Hikaru was able to secretly install ceiling Stockfish before the tournament began

Note: naka did apologise after winning like this.
He was winning on the board outplaying magnus but magnugoat found a comeback- difficult to hold but probably a draw and thats why naka felt bad for him for flagging. And no its not dirty its time usage and no increment. Gg both legends

[vtvish]

Pineapple guy lost his significant advantage but was able to flag him anyway.

Please get Daniel Naroditsky to commentate this game!

If only every game could be this interesting, chess will overtake all sports in viewership

[rodeldurban]

i believe Hickaru's potential.. he is one of the few to possibly defeat carlsen in any time control. Only he shifted to shorter time control in the past few years. Now he is back at longer time control..lets see if he will pursue again the world championship

[SudivyaSah]

Is this rule that loser gets the pieces over the right places? 😂

[Lordzen]

Hikaru was winning the game most of the time, also he used his time perfectly. Well deserved win, I never knew you can beat Carlsen in armageddon!

[rajeshwariPill]

Crazy how everyone is butt licking Magnus but not appreciating Hikaru awesome play

[Lordzen]

Hikaru deserved the win today because he was winning most of the time, Also he was +4 which was a resignable position but yeah it's magnus he will use his "Magnus-effect". Hikaru's accuracy was more better than magnus and magnus was using too much of his time. If you think losing on time isn't one of the parts of the game, then you should give each player's unlimited amount of time.
