You can see Magnus calculating all opening lines in chess before answering.

[TheRealHerbaSchmurba]

Magnus like “thanks for asking a question that doesnt aim to put us down”

[DariMan]

Magnus looked like he had to choose which of his two children to save

[realbrhancitygeming]

good question anna cramling from anna cramling

[nikn]

He is so nice.He even appreciates the good questions.

[Sujisan]

Hell yes. These are the questions that we need to have answered after games played in the world championship. Love these questions.

[InfernalPasquale]

Such wonderful answers. The players were clearly so happy to receive such a question

[OVERDRIVE]

Happy to see Nepo get to smile a little. It's been a rough tourney for him and he's been a champ through it, but some of these questions that get thrown at him are just downright rude.

[masterswordsman]

Imagine if Magnus was like: Well I think E4 has a variety of openings and theory such as e4, e5, Nf3, e4, e5, Bc4 or most importantly e4, e5, Ke2.

[steelyspielbergo]

As the 53, 394th best blitz player on Lichess, I will tell you that 1. d4 is the best move.

[priyanshchess]

Elite 2700 players- Doesn't matter we will crush our opponents anyday with anything lol

Normal Players- *This is war*

[playinsanity]

Magnus: “Thank you for asking the 2nd question that’s actually about chess”

[patmagroin]

I can picture Hikaru in my head disliking this question

[deepakrajendra]

This is one of the very few good questions asked in the pressers. Good job Anna!

Magnus' brain while answering:
1 - e4, B00 King's Pawn
Black plays c5, 32% White wins, 42% Draw, 26% Black wins
Black plays e5, 31% White wins, 48% Draw, 21% Black wins
Black plays e6, 35% White wins, 40% Draw, 24% Black wins
Black plays c6, 33% White wins, 43% Draw, 24% Black wins
1 - e4 / c5, Sicilian Defense
White plays Nf3, ....

[toqat]

I love the fact that Magnus thanked Anna before answering :)

[Phobophile]

Even as a spectator, I also appreciate the different question. And as a (mostly) e4 player, I appreciate the answers.

[RandomPerson-fgjf]

0:20 Translation: Finally an actual question we can have a decent answer to.

[ells]

Best question of the championship series by a country mile! Thank you Anna.

[ethanschulze]

Anna Kramling is awesome. Super nice to see Ian get to have fun for a moment during these press conferences.
