What he said at the end was: «i got stuck in trafic, and it was lucky because the round got a little postponed. Now im gonna go change and hopefully be ready for the next match»
Being late gambit
It wasn't luck. They postponed because they waited for him. They wouldn't have waited for anybody else. Everybody else would just have lost.
@@eljanrimsa5843i was going to write a full transcript after i was done eating breakfast but my comment got pinned so i cant edit it. What he said was
“I got stuck in traffic, it took an eternity which was frustrating, but it went well. It was nice that the round got postponed but it was kind of a shock to show up at the board and see 30 seconds. Now im going to go change and hopefully be ready for the next match”
«Hyggelig» is a word that is hard to translate into English. I chose lucky due to the context he said it in, but it could be translated in many different ways.
@@oskarfjortoft Thanks 👍🙏
@@eljanrimsa5843 I think the "luck" is something like "it was by chance it got postponed", or "luckily it got postponed", or something to that extent, expressing a sigh of relief. At least that's how I understood the translate.
Kovalev has such great sportsmanship running down the clock to make it fair, and arguing to not start without Magnus. Mad respect.
Agreed.
He was running it down to get out of psychological deficit/pressure to not do something dumb and throw a match with a massive time advantage
Fr
@@timchurch2390 you're wrong. you can hear him whisper 'i'll wait for him' when the official tries to start the clock. also, they're like 6 moves in, stop psychoanalyzing it like it isnt a blitz game
He didn't run down the clock to make it fair tho? Lmao
Now this is just great sportsmanship. Kovalev arguing that they shouldn't start the clock and wait for Magnus, him running down the clock to make the game fair, and even getting into a quick endgame! Mad respect. Magnus won the game, but Kovalev won hearts and respect.
When does Kovalev purposefully run down his own clock to be fair to Magnus? I dont see him do this. He takes long moves in the middle minutes, because hes thinking moves ahead and has the time advantage to do so.

Go watch the game. He stopped playing and didn't do anything for a minute or two around 4 moves into the game. It was literally one of the most common positions in chess at that point. At this level of play, they have that much of the game memorized a hundred times over. Man, I'm around 1600 and would have insta-moved that position.
He was definitely running down the clock deliberately.
Please explain how magnus won. Guess I'm a noob in chess😢
I love that everyone else is in formal clothing while magnus comes in looking like he just went for a run
Nepo at 0:22
He got stuck in traffic... He even said he was gonna change now, and hopefully be ready by the next match...
I guess it's pretty common to drive or ride in a car with casual and comfortable clothing... And change at the venue, if it's possible... I do so myself before going on duty as a pilot... No need to report on duty with scrumpled shirt and trousers due to long drives right...
he was running to the tournament :D
He literally went for a run actually...
For a run? That is Magnus’s pajama pants..
Kovalev clearly killed clock at the beginning to make it a fair match. True sport
He killed the clock but used that time still to think mives but lost so idk😂 magnus is just that good
@@jjjyli686 This was ended in draw. Oh shit ) Kovalev resigned =) indeed
@@jjjyli686 No, it's clear a player of that level does not need to think about beginner's chess for so long, he was being a good sport :)
Amazing sportsmanship by Kovalev. Nothing but respect!
That's what I thought too.
Only Magnus would take more time to adjust than to think.
even Kovalev was like “damn bro you tripping”😭😭😭
I believe he did it to signal to Kovalev that he doesn't need to keep stalling the clock to make it a fair game.

Huge respect to Kovalev, he deliberately ran his clock down early in the match to even the game out more, showed real respect
Imagine if he lost while having more time on the clock. That would suck.
@@proshlok1Why trying to imagine this if he actually lost?
@@Alequez97 i am trying to say if he lost while having more time on clock it would be humiliating and he did it because he wanted people to not mock him but respect him just like you did. it is just a hypothesis that no one can deny.

Opposite those guys in fighting sports who gets kicked in the dick and just lays down so they can win by disqualification. To be clear, I don’t play chess or train in martial arts, really just wanted to find a safe space on the internet to say “kicked in the dick”. Thank you.
His opponent showed great sportsmanship. Giving away his time to level the playing field.
Nah man, he was just stumped on which move to make.
@@pawpatrolnews u obviously don't know a lot about chess
@@pawpatrolnews Are you kidding? The opening is basically a memorized line, there is nothing for him to think about
@@pawpatrolnews the beginning 5-10 moves of a game are made within five seconds. His opponent is a fantastic sport
then magnus told him it’s enough by wasting his own time to fix the pieces
From an interview later that day: There was an organized skiing trip for the contestants. There was busses that took them to and from the place. Magnus, instead of going with the others had private transport and stayed a bit longer. Then the traffic took longer than they expected.
that will teach him to be an elitist pig 🐷
Carlsen is even adjusting pieces before hitting the clock! What confidence!
What does that mean? Doesnt he start right away?
@@TheSwiftblad3 in between the game bro
@@manaswali5032 yes, i figured. Still, thanks bro
it can be either a flex, basically saying "the massive disadvantage in time is not a problem for me, i still got this" or a communication to the other player that he can stop running down the clock to even the chances, which the guy obviously did...or a combination of both
Definitely some respect to Kovalev for some sportsmanship there. He didn't have to, but he did.
What sort of sportsmanship? I know you feel bad for him but a terrible way from your end defending him
He was wasting time at the beginning so they would be more even
@@HarshPatel-bl9ym Sportsmanship in the sense that Kovalev willing avoided taking what was practically a win gifted to him by non-chess factors which were entirely his right to take, but instead chose to have a fairer fight on the board.
Edit: I don't feel bad for either of them, if anyone it would be for Magnus' panic because traffic can drain time like crazy. But eh, whatever you know?
Couldn’t he just wait for Magnus with first move? Is it not allowed?
@@HarshPatel-bl9ymhe showed sportsmanship cause he insisted that the judge wait for carlsen but they started the clock regardless
Magnus adjusting his pieces twice was hilarious. So much confidence!
Magnus was telling his opponent that the stalling for time in order to level the clock was enough
@@belagu4517 Never knew until people pointed it out. Definitely makes a lot of sense.
Signalling his opponent that he didn't need to stall to make it fair, they could play at regular pace
@@belagu4517 So you're telling me it wasn't just being triggered by pieces not being perfectly placed? I feel kinda betrayed
At 2:40 I thought I was going crazy 😂😂
I love the fact that Mag never looks at the opponent's face for even once, although the opponents have this habit of looking at him after every move. Mag is always looking at the board or to his leg or right never looks at the opponent. Insane!
He's Norwegian. We literally are taught to never look each other in the eyes, it's uncomfortable and rude here.
Wow that’s interesting. In japan were taught to always look at peoples eye when were talking or listening. Its rude here to not look the other person in the eye. Nice to know
@@utplayer7811 We're very restrictive of interactions in general. We never sit next to someone on public transportation. We never talk to strangers without a good reason (except on a pub/nightclub etc.). Often not to a cashier even. We keep a long distance between each other when at waiting lines.

Why do you say that?
@@jixu7146 he played slow in the beginning so that magnus wouldn't be as pressured
@@jixu7146 he basically wasted his time so that it would be equal, and he could of played a super complicated aggressive opening to make it really hard for magnus but instead just played a regular one
Yes I was wondering why he let his clock run down alot in the beginning.
New to chess so I appreciate the answers, happy new year to all
Such huge confidence,even though he is late he still make sure that every piece is at the centre of the square 😮
3:31 I like how he makes a move then adjusts is pieces and then hits the clock 😂
Time was equal by move 12 out of 59 because his opponent stalled his own clock to even things out. He didn’t even want to start the clock in the first place.

Magnus is even taking 4-5 sec on his clock to straighten out his pieces. What a psych-out play of confidence!
Did you not see his opponent wasting like 2 minutes of his clock?
It’s also, but this time it was to let him know to stop stalling the clock, just notice whether it’s the beginning of the game or the late middle / end of the game
@@DGlakyto make it a fair game.
Badassery
Kovalev even dragged his moves to make it even. Carlsen is a dick
Props to Kovalev for wanting to wait a little longer before starting the game, true sportsman.
He did wait, he took 3 seconds on his first move which was his first mistake and as soon as that happened he’d already lost.
@@connahbourton5097 that's more sportsmanship
Could've waited until MC turned up. That would have been even better.
It’s a power move really. If by any chance he wins in low time his victory won’t be that rated
I would've asked the arbiter to disqualify him for disrespecting the tournament like that!
Should change the title of the video, Magnus is the world champion and all, but this level of sportsmanship deserves to be elevated. Hats off

I really have to respect the attitude displayed in this video. Magnus showed up late, and a little scruffy from not having time to change into proper attire, but instead of making a whole thing out of it they shook hands respectfully and each gave the other a challenge worthy of their time. That's how civilized men conduct themselves.
What else would you do?
@@Yoni123 try to fight the chess players to the death. They look armed with belts that can be dangerous. Gotta be safe than sorry

Magnus also used it to his advantage as well, centering the pieces with such little time on the clock to get in his opponents head a little bit: pretty much saying "i have all the time in the world;" pretty fun!
nah bro you see him correcting the peices on his time😂
Him adjusting pieces under his time is just straight savage 😂
Nobody talking about the guy he was going against asked if he could wait for him, I love to see good sportsmanship
Carlsen arrives and sees that he has 30 seconds left on the clock.
_"Oh, whew! Plenty of time! For a moment I was worried."_

Opponent ran his clock on purpose to create a fair fight. You really think a top level GM doesn't know how to play the French exchange?
I was sitting here like, "Why is this guy taking so long?" but I read in the comments that he sacrificed his time to make the game even. Really cool. I think that should be emphasized more because it's very respectable, and people like me would have just wondering why he was taking so long. lol

@@TheChocoboRacer lol Yeah, I was just kidding around with my response. Not too salty about it. XD
The thing is, when magnus is late to the game, the opponent can not win. Even when he is stronger than him. Either he loses or he 'wins' but nobody will respect it and everyone will think magnus only lost because he had not enough time on the clock.
when Kovalev took so much time just for the opening, you know he was killing his own clock
and instead of just looking at the board, he took some time to look at his opponent who was out of breath, probably empathizing with him
great sportsmanship 💙
That was classy, but stupid. A fool squanders advantage
@@razor_ramon_ it's called good sportsmanship. Opponents deserve respect
"Never interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake."
@@meggy1162 respect is a handshake before the match (which did happen by the way), respect is a handshake after the match, but intentionally wasting time? That's his personal preference which you approve. That's why you call this respect.
@@razor_ramon_ A handshake is barely a sign of respect , especially when it is required. A handshake means nearly nothing. Sacrificing time, I agree, is a little more than respect but it is definitely respect for his opponent.
The man waiting was a great sport. To not be upset at all and patiently wait for his opponent, even asking them not to start the clock, he genuinely wanted a fair good chess match. Hats off to you!
of course he wanted to wait - it's be more embarrassing if he was really eager to start without magnus and run down the clock to try and win, only for magnus to possibly arrive with a short time to spare and still beat him
He even gave Magnus time from his own clock to readjust and calm down before he made his next moves. You can't tell me that he really needed the first 1.5 minutes he lost. Really good sportsmanship, even to the point that he arguably might have harmed himself.
@@johnace6291 yeeeep I noticed that he checked him out like "alright, you've calmed down? let's go". Very good sport and empathetic guy looks like

respect to the other player for wasting his own time at the start to even the odds a bit. he also insisted that they don't start the clock until Magnus got there and was the only reason the game was postponed by 6 minutes. he could've easily had a win against the goat under his belt and a point towards a prize but chose not to.
Nah, the man knew he was going to lose, but the less time Magnus had the more of an embarassment that loss would be for him.

You don't think he "waited" because he felt he had extra time to think through the opening? Perhaps he was just nervous about Magnus's opening?
@moveabledo If he needs to think this long in opening moves, I don't think he would be playing at this level. Chess players study opening moves like textbook.
late and still Win , absolutely high class player
Right so I’ve never seen a game of chess before, I do know the basics.. and I’ve got to say this is INSANE
The world champ shows up LATE in a hoodie unphased by a 30 sec clock. HAHA What a legend

Kovalev was the real mvp
So did he win or lose?
@@mdashrafuzzamansunny2145 ofc he won 😅
Magnus looked like he got out of bed 5 minutes before.
That's the more realistic reason he was late. 100 people had the same traffic and managed to show up on time.
He got lucky thats why
I heard he got stuck and had to run there
He had rough night.. 😉
Apparently he had gone skiing prior to the match.
Magnus is such a nice competitor, automatically giving himself a 150s handicap to even things up.
I love to watch chess, but I have no idea how to play it so I basically watch blindly and I am still amazed about every single move they make, even though I don't understand what is going on...
There were cases where Carlsen has also wait for his opponents to make it to the match, showing true sportsmanship... so, IMO, if they postponed the match those 5 minutes + Kovalev not starting the clock on time: he deserves it - as much as any other player on a world's championship.
Okay, they have responsibilities and all, but sometimes there is a thing called LIFE that goes over all of us.
I commend Kovalev for his actions, actively and passively taken.
Right they showed something which was said to be lost in today's world where taking advantage is a routine whether the party gets hurt or not. This is why chess is called a king's game because you have to be mentally smart to be a kind person.
Yeah it's a Blitz tournament, a few minutes isn't going go to hurt anything. There should be a rule stipulating the present player CAN postpone the match for up x minutes but they're not obliged to.
Notice has this game ended before the others around them?
so happy to see someone talking about things these ways, who look at it from a perspective that adds value to the video because you share well thought out opinions, good stuff lol. rare now days

-Even when he was late, offered a handshake proper
-Played a pretty good game of chess

@@trialleadgen334 What?
3:24 He sacrificed few seconds to just place the chess pieces straight. Holy shit.
That’s one way of saying "I didn’t need your time-granting charity"
he is just letting his opponent he doesn't have to sacrifice anymore time than he already has
I would say it relaxes him, if he only had a pulse
Pure relaxed confidence right there 😂
As a chess player, there are few things more annoying than wrongly placed pieces
Huge respect to my buy Kovalevski for being the man above all other men, what a scholar and a true gentleyman
Magnus is just unbelievable !
Imagine being the cameraman on a chess tournament
Why ?. It is great for chess lovers
@@VARMOT123 o c i just said it has to be a pretty boring job
Easiest 30 bucks i ever made

This was the most exiting thing in chess in the past 40 years
The whole Situation, The Outfit, The End... You have to love this guy
Yeah, no. Makes me despise him. Lots of special rules for this guy. You're not special.
@@gregutz4284 Well firstly, of course he is. He's the world champion. Secondly, it was Kovalev's decision to wait for Magnus. He could've easily just let his time run out (8-minute window), but chose not to.
@@gregutz4284 No special rules. And though he is the best chess player ever, he cant control traffick
I love the games, not the guy.
@@valto5477 I mean, nobody can control traffic, but still everyone else was there on time except him.
The fact that I'm not that into Chess so I can watch this unbiasedly and be able to see that Magnus is simply a guy that acts unsportsmanlike, that's not simply "confidence" as chess players make it seem
magnus always op
The guy he was playing against was very courteous and gave some time back in the opening, bless
It's difficult to play at your normal level when your opponent arrives so late. It's impossible not to think about what was going on and whether you will win on time.
@@eljanrimsa5843 fair but not on the second move of the game. If he wanted to play unfair he'd blitz out d4 but he waited for Magnus to get settled
indeed
Nah he was choosing the line to use. Second move from Carlsen changes the options for lines and since he waited so long it's natural to think a bit to reconfirm your opening choice.
@@kunalsingh4418 you are dead wrong. he used one and a half minutes for two moves that's half his time, there's no way it takes that long for a GM who saw this line many times in his career to think of which line to play. he just wanted an equal fight and intentionally ran the clock down.
To be honest the match was amazing but all I could pay attention to was Kovalev's amazing ability to twist the pawn like wow-
I noticed that late! I almost got enthralled, but they were blitzing at the end, so i darted back to the board.
What do you mean by twisting the pawn? Can you give a time stamp?
@@bramcopermans7494 4:06 Look at Kovalev's hands
@@silentlife6470 thanks
@@silentlife6470 ooh makes sense haha thanks

Dude this guy is the goat literally won a match and left to change lol
For those confused of the outcome and why the kings are in the middle. They're both placed on black squares signifying black won. It's for the software to register this automatically as black as the victor. Sorry for poor English.
You speak good English! No need to apologize for it. Thanks for the explanation!
Your understanding of English is much better than my understanding of chess. Thanks for the explanation
Thanks for the awesome explanation! Can you also explain why the queens were left outside the board during rearrangement at the end?
@@sharnam506 In case a player promotes his/her pawn to another queen
Magnus is one of my favorite players, but for whatever reason I always root for his opponents
The fact Kovalev let his time run out to make a fair game with equal time. Respect
It's only because of camera. If it was out of public sight, he would smash him.
Sure dude
@@warrax111my speaking like he’s Kovalev
@@warrax111 lol
Magnus: "I swear, no more chess groupies."
Magnus just came from some bedroom it seems hehe..
LOL
kovalev thought Magnus would take another 30 seconds to arrange the pieces on the board
3:44 there is a error in the clock magnus timer went from 32 to 31 to 33
Edit: keep watching the clock 1:25 it keeps adding extra 2 or 1 seconds every time he pauses and some times for the other player too
That's called increment .Whenever you make a move ,you gain time
It's not an error. The rule in this tournament was that you started with 3 minutes and then got 2 extra seconds per move made. The clock was supposed to do that, and it happens every single time either player hits the clock, not just sometimes. Sometimes it may look like it only adds one second because the clock went down one more second just as he was hitting it, but it's always 2 seconds. Without exception.
@@Mangii14 it should give them 2 sec every time they make a move then but it did not give everytime
Kovalev really tried to make the game as fair as possible...no GM would take that much time in chess opening stage... Not to mention even with all the time, he played few bad moves at beginning giving equal advantages to magnus as well and then started actually playing...the dude didnt care to win...he just wanted an equal match with magnus
Yes, chess is not like other games that prioritize winning.
@@sktwnsng it often is though
@@dzordzszs often for non-professional chess players
@@sktwnsng In *every* professional sport throughout history you will find moments where players prioritize a fair match over an easy win. From historical jousting to modern day Olympics.
@@barkedog I think your correct as what’s more important is the mindset of the person playing the sport and not the sport being played
A wizard is never late. He arrives precisely when he means to
But he is human.. so.. that explains why he was late. A wizard arrives on time.
@@floofsale Nope. You fail.
He was late. Period.
@@sH4CKl3ton oh I thought Magnus was male.
he was running lol, if he woulda walked he probabaly might of lost
Imagine he comes at 30secs on his clock and starts adjusting his pieces - wild🔥😲
You arrive on time for sportsmanship. Respect your opponent because their time is as precious as yours
That man who sacrificed his time to make the game even really deserves appreciation
having a 2 min 30 sec advantage over Magnus already is kind of making the game even though hahaha
He didnt. If that was the case, he would have sacrificed his time on his 2nd move.
@@ocaradovideoehbixa he did. The move he sacrificed time on doesn't need thinking.
@@ocaradovideoehbixa why so ? seems pretty obvious he did stall the time for even chance.
@@ocaradovideoehbixa He is a GM you think he would wait a minute to do a simple move like taking the pawn when it was the most obvious thing he should do?
I love the respect from Vlad to run his own clock down to give Magnus a chance, very pro
Please explain
The other guy wasted a minute and a half in the opening moves to make it equal
@@keinezeit99 you don’t know that… and if that were his intention, why didn’t he do it after the first move to declare his intentions?
@@brendenoloughlin1880 The arbiter started the clock...not him
