    For those who didn't watch the broadcast. When that d5 move was played Anish could not understand the move. Even after looking at the engine which showed how winning it was, he couldn't see how d5 made Ding's position so much better. Only realising many moves later that it set up a mating net. That's how crazy d5 was when another super GM with an engine sitting at home with no pressure could not see the move.

IF anything 2023 is the year the London's potential was actually underrated and this game, no a work of art, shows why.

      d5 is objectively a worse move then Rb7. Rb7 wins much faster. d5 - with perfect defence from black (After Qb2 instead of a2) leads to an up-a-pawn endgame where, in some lines, white will need to sac a knight for 2 pawns playing Rook + 3 vs Rook + Bishop.

      Magnus couldn't even beat Karjakin or Caruana in the actual WCC, and it's not because his opponents feared him and played for draws. It's because Carlsen is a zero-risk grinder and Caruana is an engine memorization type.
      I would say that no one takes fewer risks in classical chess than Magnus, and I would only be wrong because a few people like Fabi exist.

      When he faced off against Anand, the tiebreakers favored Anand. There Magnus took risks and had decisive games. It probably says more about the format than anything else.
      Ian is also just a higher variance player than Magnus. He's more up and down and that's always going to lead to more decisive games.

    • @divagaciones1628

      Yes, and Magnus' playing style is based on playing very solid and waiting for the opponent to mess up, which in turn makes his opponents play very solid as well, ending up in rather "boring" or defensive chess. Most of the matches in the last WC were very solid theoretical matches that ended in draws, except for those where Nepo messed up while trying to attack Magnus and Magnus just punished him and won. Here you can tell that both players are taking a lot more risk and going for sharper lines.

    it's funny how Magnus' gripes w the WCC format is that it leads to drawish indecisive games, and in this WCC it's becoming more and more clear that that had less to do w the format and way more to do w the fact that Magnus is just the juggernaut of chess right now. Magnus decides he's not gonna play in this WCC and ALL OF A SUDDEN the majority of the games are decisive and entertaining for the first time in a decade
