      I feel sorry for Caruana. He is brilliant (well, at least at classical) but he'll probably never be world champion just because Carlsen is too good. The guy even reached the 3rd highest rating ever, just behind Carlsen and Kasparov, but he's just not as good as Magnus. I think he could go down as one of the best to never actually become the best of his time.

    I have an ok-ok story. A little context first, I am from India and Vishy is a literal god here. Everyone knows who he is here. So when he was beaten back in 2013, I was in 3rd or 4th grade and at the time our school used to give us these List of Current affairs for ever month. And Bamg right there the biggest one was Vishy lost to some Norwegian young dude named Magnus Carlsen. These current affairs lists-thingies were marked under the subject of general knowledge and would be graded. When the question paper came it had this news as a question like who beat vishy. Everyone wrote Magnus. Now the teacher who made these lists and gave to us like a month back made a spelling error and printed Magnus CARLSON. With an O. So everyone wrote it with an O. The not-so-everybody smart kids wrote it with an E. And there was this huge uproar of which one was correct. Parents argued with teachers. It was a 1 mark question in a 10 mark paper. HUGE DEAL for the parents who wanted their kids to score a 10. Ended with the teacher giving everyone a mark for that question.

      The interesting thing is, he could have maybe won his first title in 2012 but he withdrew from the candidates tournament because he didn't like the format. It was a four game bracket with faster time control tiebreaks and Magnus thought it was too easy to draw the classical games and determine the winner in the rapid and blitz. In 2013, FIDE adopted the double round robin for the first time in something like 50 years. Magnus played, came perilously close to losing but managed to hang on, and the rest is history.

Kasparov and Karpov are also six times champs, though Kasparov only won 4 undisputed titles and Karpov only had 3. The others came during the era of FIDE and Garry's PCA, so the titles were split. Magnus is currently tied with Botvinnik for second most undisputed championships with 5, although Botvinnik never actually won a world championship match as world champ. He won the tournament to declare a world champ after Alekhine's death, drew Bronstein in his first defense, drew Smyslov in his second defense, then lost to Smyslov, defeated Smyslov as challenger in a rematch, lost to Tal, defeated Tal as challenger in a rematch then lost to Petrosian.

      Nepo is a remarkable player but when you are a red-hot dynamic fast playing attacking sensation and you struggle to get it going, it's only natural your confidence is sapped against the literal chess embodiment of a boa constrictor.

  • @colinsmith3990
    @colinsmith3990 Před 2 lety +2

    I thought this championship would be closer. Ian had been playing really well leading up to it and Magnus was showing just the smallest signs of being human. That is you can't be best forever. He was losing the odd game to some really strong players and he didn't quite seem on top of his game. To Magnus's credit he plays a lot but he didn't win some high profile tournaments. I wonder if he was using all these earlier games to give Ian a false sense of bravado and then Magnus returned to his rock solid and amazing style of play to knock Ian out of his zone. Game 6 was unbelievable that Magnus was confident to play 2 rooks against the queen and find a way to win after 8 hours. Incredible!!!

    I think without a doubt Game 6 of 2021 was Magnus AND Ian’s finest game ever. The best of the best moves, slow, raw, brutal but also incredibly artistic with how both players navigated their pieces for a slight advantage. Its not my favourite game of all times but it is by far the most impressive game of both of their careers! A true Magnus Opus pun intended
