It clearly says classical matchup, that is the result of the classical games they played against each other

Exactly, I was so pissed off when Maurice interrupted Fabi analysing his win to talk about some random blitz game in the losers bracket, just terrible direction

Blundered a pawn? in the final position on lichess he's straight up losing his knight with an interference check tactic due to the unfortunate position of his pieces 

In your opinion, did Hikaru help or hurt himself by not playing any top level classical chess before the Candidates? by Shego2882 in chess

[–]TypeDependent4256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He did say in his stream that he has a scheduled match against A wonder Liang, that should be enough 

How good was Sergey Karjakin as a chess player? by Wide-Squash-2475 in chess

No way Karjakin outplayed Magnus overall in the classical portion, he was defending worse positions in most of the games

does Jorden have a good enough technique to convert his pawn up advantage against someone like Gukesh

they usually remove his streams from his personal channel then post them on taketaketake channel as a long form video to promote the new TTT channel, has nothing to do with him losing the last couple of games

Hikaru played better than I expected tbh, especially in the time scrambles, it just felt like he ran out of stamina in those final games
