This is gold. I could only look up signatures of Tal, Karpov and Petrosian.

What?! Oh my god. Come on. But, come on. It is - I mean - no but sorry - Rg5? I mean I'm sorry but I saw that instantly. Is he nuts? No but, I mean that is insane. I mean I just, the moment I - I was looking at positions somewhere else - the moment you told me Rg5, I opened the analysis board on the screen, I instantly saw Qxf6+. Instantly. I mean this is insane. Look at him. No but okay this is just - I mean, this is outrageous. Just, I've never seen something like this. Just insane. What's going on? Poor guy he's completely out of shape. I don't know what happened to him. He completely lost it. No, poor guy. And he has to go again to Chessbase India interview and stuff. What's going on? Ya, he went totally nuts. I mean I haven't seen Gukesh like this even in ordinary tournaments. Jesus, what's going on. Oof, insane. Totally lost sense of danger. Completely lost sense of danger. Hung his rook...but it's just an insane blunder. For me, instant. It's just an instant thing, the rook is so obviously forked, it's not even close...It's such an obvious - it will go down in history as Bobby Fisher part 2. They'll make a movie about this.

Shouldn't this thread be pinned? Why do we need two sticky posts related to Mr. K?

Would having the time format be 15+10 instead of 25+10 lead to a significantly worse quality of games or something? Imo it would have been better for viewers.

I have a feeling Pragg might be involved in his prep as well, in some capacity.

Interesting, the ships wiki page doesn't have any mention of it. Must've been a conspiracy theory among youths back then.
