    A pure classic "Magnus" game. Beautiful maneuvering in the middle game, slow piece improvement, then grinding and grinding, forcing opponent to find difficult move after difficult move, and then, when the opponent finally misses, bring the guillotine down. Largely brilliant defense from Fabi as well.

Also Melkor was sending orcs into battle inside a metal dragon which disgorged troops like some kinda of dragon shaped…dragon…plane. I bet you would love some of his weirder mythological stuff that is basically just the silmarillion and the reason the world of middle-earth feels so real. homie wrote real languages which can be learned and spoken … yes i can speak Sindarin / Quenya and even write in that fancy ring script. So fucking cool right
      yeah i could teach you a thing or two. MAYBE three. haha, i'm just kidding man … i try to make friends with other tubers because i too am a big fucking nerd :)
      we just released a vid today on gandalf and the balrog and how they were conceived as twin beings different only in their choices… since gandalf is all about their fire… and a balrog is literally a fiery being (the biblical serphamin (fiery ones) surely played a role in tolkien's choice, here imo)

    Magnus had 99% accuracy in this game, that tells you how big he wanted to win this game deep inside after the yesterday defeat against Pragg. I mean forget everything about what he said in the interview after the match about just trying to play solid in the event, I am adamant he will pull through another couple of decent classic win in the coming games and we will see vintage Magnus coming back soon

    • @billj4525
      @billj4525 Před měsícem

      Yeah, 99% is insane. He played an amazing game, and came back with a vengeance after his loss to Pragg which angered him a lot. He'll be ready the rest of the tournament to try to keep this up. Staying the top at classical is important for his career longevity, he has mentioned it before, and he did again yesterday.
