Do they say 'look...i'll'" to which muhammad Ali said "if he ever dreamt it he better wake up and apologize!" It sounded pretty similar and ben is the master of references.

    In the last game it is amazing to me that Rapport must have seen the whole 15 move-ish variation when he allowed all this taking on b3 and Qd8 stuff. And it was not the only variation. And they were probably in time trouble. Or he just had insane intuition and was ready to go for it blindly - which I highly doubt.

    With regard to where Rapport stands with the super GM's .. when he is running bad he does poorly, which is to be expected, but when he is running good he only holds his own, which is only to be expected if he is otherwise outclassed on a fundamental level.

      "outclassed on a fundamental level" is pretty unclear, and "holds his own" isn't true for his standout performances. He consistently plays at the level of super gms, whether he's crushing or getting crushed. He wouldn't maintain his rating otherwise

    How come Magnus always does well against Hikaru if Hikaru likes to make games crazy? Magnus likes positional games but he's obviously very good at calculating, its just a weird paradox

    • @johnshogskins4443

      Hikaru doesn’t play crazy. He plays fast "useless” moves that keep things equal, waiting for his opponents to make a mistake.

    • @vibovitold
      @vibovitold 10 днів тому

      I think there is a large psychological element between Hikaru and Carlsen. I won't deny (and Hikaru admits it) that Magnus is better, but in practice he outperforms him by a larger margin than the detectable skill gap. Nakamura used to be higher rated (in blitz of course) than Carlsen on multiple rating lists, and yet their record is very uneven, in Carlsen's favour of course. It's kind of like with Anand vs. Kasparov, when Kasparov was better, but Anand suffered from some sort of a Kasparov complex and performed worse against him than their performances against other players would make you expect.

    Being a true Caruana fan. I cannot watch this. Kinda funny but not funny. "Plays for a win" even in a known draw, in the middle of the candidates vs the guy outright winning, who ended up outright winning. even worse (punctuation and grammar not needed now) watch the post round interview, "Like I wanted to lose not draw" . Impeccable timing to go for the lose Champ.
