"I think he blundered." *Two seconds later* "Oh no he didn't!" — Hilarious

[Epikcs]

Pretty cute to see Eric’s heart rate JUMP when he saw it was magnus. A genuine respect and fear

[debopamroy]

I generally see Magnus' games from his perspective or neutral perspectives. But seeing him from an opponent's POV is downright terrifying

[lew]

It's pretty insane how accurately Magnus can play despite using so little time in a not that common opening/structure.

[Martykun]

Eric's heart rate was almost 120 by move 6, just how terrifying is playing that man

[jenzhen]

Who needs to win Titled Tuesday when you can beat Eric Rosen

[sophiegrey]

"I know this person. I'm playing Santa."
Not 5 seconds in and I already giggled.

[romenaakter]

5:06 Eric when it's checkmate :"Oh no his queen! OH NO my king!"

[cobykempton]

"I wasn't losing until certain things started happening." Eric Rosen

[listey]

Imagine being as good as Eric and your opponent is still 600 points higher 😢

[joscooper]

There should be more comments about the fact that Magnus saw mate in 9!!!

[Rubrickety]

Magnus may have the advantage with the Bird, but you're still the Duckmaster.

[undeadz]

Beautiful game out of Magnus. Uncanny seeing Eric get squeezed the way I get squeezed in my games.

[Matthew-bufg]

"last time he withdrew midway through a tournament there was a huge scandal" hahaha love that line

[cyclotomic]

Carlsen's great skill is that he can get anyone out of preparation (with non-theoretical lines) so that he can play actual chess where memory doesn't matter but only creativity, in which positions he thrives. He played 30) Rf8 in just one second which is inspiring by all means!

[justinkeefe]

That was a neat mate! Fun game well played to both of you

[augtsu]

That was fun to watch. Kinda like watching a boa constrictor slowly strangle its prey. All you can do is see how long you can last. This is a feeling I am very familiar with. But like a broken watch (which has the correct time twice a day) I occasionally make a right move. Thanks for sharing.

[GaryTheGray]

I think Magnus also subscribes to the notion, "No mercy." 🤣 At least you had a really good result that day for the whole of Tilted Tuesday. I can't wait till the two of you battle again.

Came back here after Eric’s (chessbrah) most recent bird speedrun video. Apparently he suggested the opening to Magnus while they were having supper and Magnus was playing on his phone lol

[ramachandra]

Magnus participated in the tournament only to play Eric . 😊
