Magnus Carlsen is in the WORLD CUP FINAL for THE FIRST TIME in His Career 

Yea pragg endgames are also looking very good, magnus vs pragg would be an interesting game

I don't hope for that. I wish Fabiano the best, but we KNOW that Fabiano goes on the defensive against Magnus. And we will have draw upon draw.

Pragg will give a good fight

Pragg îs a Best ar rapid and blitz, he crushes Fabi

that wcc was really something. The best one in recent times

@@sagnaik first of all he doesn't like classical anymore as said him in post match interview of round 2 classical vs Keymer, second is that I don't think FIDE will change the age old classical format for the comfort of a single person

@@sagnaik so the strongest chess player in history is getting weaker in classical and doesn't want to play it anymore so let us reduce the time formats for his will and affect others? That is not how world works

@@Stefan_2117 the strongest chess player in history doesn't want to play in a classical format where everyone plays to draw against him. Any group or swiss stage is fucked for Magnus because no one will take any risk to try to win, they will all play to draw. And so long as they draw against him and win against weaker opponents amongst each other, they will always end up in points ahead of Magnus. So Magnus has to always take risky gambles to try to win Also, everyone knows classical is broken as a format. In the 1900s without engines, the better players had better prep. Now anyone can use an engine, so prep is trivial and half of classical is gone. It's like insisting everyone communicate using only pigeon carriers in 2023. We have emails and cellphones now, why aren't we changing the format to match the times? Prep no longer shows the better player like it used to, instead playing under time pressure is the mark of a better player. Classical should change to reflect that in some way.

Why did he never won world cup before?

The world championship title and this World Cup Are different tournaments this World Cup is merely a stepping stone for chess players to into the candidates tournament on which the real world champion will be decided

After a final match

when he first won the world chess championship, if im not mistaken, he qualified for the candidates because he's (one of?) the highest rated player that time.

@@saichitverma5270 thanks! so i guess there are multiple ways of getting into the candidates tournament then?
