I feel like Magnus actually doesn't even know the score board. If he has an advantage, he will play for a win. He doesn't just want to win the event, he wants to take your soul if he can.

      @1001011011010 3 роки тому

      @Lucas Roberts It's so weird how he can get a good advantage vs Magnus but then mess it up. I think it's psychological. And while Magnus should have a better record vs him, holding a higher elo, I think their actual tournament record is worse than one would expect for Nakamura.
      Just look at this one: he blundered during tie breaks (literally just hung a bishop), and during one of the rounds Magnus needed to win but Hikaru pulled off this neat knight sacrifice which gave him a good advantage, and if he would have won, he would have won the whole round. But he still messed it up and Magnus ended up winning anyway.
      His record vs Magnus stays pretty bad, with Hikaru eliminating Magnus only rarely. He may think it's playstyle but I think Hikaru would really benefit from some serious but casual (ie not in a tourney) games vs Carlsen.

    It always feels like whenever Hikaru plays Magnus they go neck and neck for the entire thing and in the end Hikaru is just very slighlty worse, which makes him lose. Magnus is world champion after all, but man that must be frustrating. They were very equal the entire matchup but Magnus just seems unbreakable and always keeps his cool in the final stage.

  • @alkavonstra5479
    @alkavonstra5479 3 роки тому +2

    Such an incredible first round! I love the way Hikaru and Magnus went blow for blow like that. Just two Super Grandmasters fighting to the bitter end. Each win forcing the other to push harder the next game. Then the Blitz rounds showcased the brutality of Magnus and his ability to shut the opponent down completely. For a while, I was cheering for Hikaru, but damn, the Champ really held everything. Giri/Radjabov was a bit disappointing, but then again, I didn't want either one to get knocked out. MVL/So was kind of wacky to me. And then there's Fabi/Ian. Had my heart crack a bit during that French endgame.
    Now, for the semi's and finals, honestly, I don't want Ian vs Carlson. We will get plenty of them later this year, and I don't think either one wants to spoil their prep prematurely. Even then, it would still be the most hype outcome of the players left, IMO. Anyway, you're doing awesome at commentary and content, Levy.
