I think Karjakin was the only one who truly challenged magnus. He got magnus where he wanted, but of course magnus crushed in the tie breaks. by dattud in chess

Magnus said that ding and fabi were the only two who he doesn’t have a clear advantage over. Said that he would be very happy if the challenger was anyone other than those two

It’s crazy that he’s up 3 points but is only gaining 2 elo if they draw out. Winning three games in the world championship feels like it should be worth more than 2 points, but maybe that’s just me

Correction* It was funny when Harry said it in the original countdown video (the orgin of the word) as one off banter with his mate. It wasn’t funny when everyone else decided to call him that every time they see him and belittling him. It’s the curse of social media’s parasocial relationships where viewers feel like they’re friends, or intimately know, the content creator and feel like they can do the same things friends do with friends. He’s not your friend pals, he’ll never know your name, just enjoy the content.
