If I ever have a chess themed nightmare it will probably be playing Black against Magnus in a Catalan.

Hikaru crushing
This is a massacre
Does it really matter what opening youâre in?
Commentators reduced to saying âHikaru doesnât have that much time hereâ when he has 1:09 on the clock.
loved the fast blunder, snap reblunder basically a premove by magnus
Hilarious moment there when they predicted Magnusâs blunder in advance.
Definitely not over yet. Bullet can get very streaky.
Wow galaxy brain from Hikaru (plays an opening into a perpetual check draw so he can burn a lot of match time by stalling on the moves)
Wowwowowow
This is tense to watch canât imagine what itâs like to play.
Phew lol.

Never seen Magnus play that badly before, that clean rrq vs rrq he lost in bullet was just wow bad
Incoming accusations of cheating against Hikaru, IMO.

chess needs to get with the times and every event ends with some sort of heads up final, their fake world championships are ending scored the most points in some sort of regular season style where you donât play everyone in the event.
Yeah the only event which ends in a dramatic showdown is also in a format which tends to produce extremely boring chess. lol FIDE.
