      I honestly think the WC final being at the same day probably was bad for Magnus. I felt exhausted myself after that and I was completely neutral. He looked completely out of energy.

    • @williamrobert9898
      @williamrobert9898 Год назад +1

      @Tehkenny1 I wouldn't necessarily say he played "better" than Magnus, it was clear that Magnus always got the better of Hikaru whether he was on the white side or the black side he seemed to outplay Hikaru in most of the games but he had some terrible time management and most of the games in which he outplayed Hikaru ended in a draw after Magnus failed to convert his advantage

      @@williamrobert9898 I think you're wrong but it is also the reason why Carlsen is the best player in the world and Hikaru isn't. Hikaru is perfect against Magnus, Magnus thrives on creative and wild chess, he wants it as far away from theory as possible while Hikaru is probably the best in the world at solid chess. Playing constantly solid against a player like Magnus means Magnus need to play more risky moves which can lead to counter attacks

      It is only after 2 1/2 years of studying chess daily that I can begin to appreciate just how strong they are. That's one of the fascinating things about chess for me, there is always a higher level of understanding. I think that's why even super GMs are still hooked to the game, no matter how good you are you can never "figure out" chess.
