Magnus' Predictions, Good or Bad? 

Hell Yeah!!

yeaahhhhb i was going to comment that!!!!!!!!!!! tight slap

Now it's easy to point a finger and say his prediction failed. But if you think about it, Gukesh is the only one he got wrong. The rest are spot on.

@@fus10n91 what about aliraza? he did poorly

@@fus10n91 Alireza too... Bad time...

Yeah, it's because he literally conserves all his mana to cast his ultimate during candidates but by the time he comes to WCC match his mana is enough to cast only 1-2 simple spells and then he has 0. Then the cycle restarts, he conserves mana doing nothing until the next candidates. Then loses WCC match not being able to cast his ultimate, yare yare

Cause he's trash; candidats is literally the only tournament where he's semi decent. This rat hides all he's tactics for the entire season until this one competition

Not only that, he never lost a single game in all three Candidates tournaments. And after ALL (!!) of his 33 games in the Candidates, to this day, he has held the top 1 spot, either alone or sharing it with somebody. His overall performance with white in the Candidates is about 2900. And people still think he's not a favorite 😂😂

He needs to move his stats to his mana and purchase some of the mana potions (3 gold)

It's actually crazy how good Nepo has shown himself to be. Winning such a competitive tournament so consistently is amazing.

😂😂😂..It was a prediction... Man..

Gukesh took it personally

@@iamkj2008 i dont think gukesh cares about this tier list.

I mean these guys can laugh, but Nepo will laugh last again when he wins 3rd in a row haha

bro is literally a One piece character..

yea he saves his best for canidates nepo will win and easily beat ding for the championship! Will also say whoever wins will beat ding as he's playing 2500 chess right now which is kinda sad.

yes😂😂😂

​@@alperengulen665 poor!! ? he is in 8 player and top ten

@@rimi6334 Not worldwide man, i was talkin about candidates performance. Otherwise hes good for sure

I still lose it everytime I watch that clip of him saying that him and Hikaru are just better at chess than the others. It sounds so arrogant but it probably didn't even occur to Magnus. He's just spitting facts.

@@marianorivera3272 He is just spitting what he thinks are facts

Yeah he can roast anyone on board as well...😂

He is better, but not Hikaru

@@marianorivera3272 what video is that?

If he falls to Nakamura, Gukesh will end up with +3, which is right next to Magnus' estimated range.

Now he has won it

Yes, he didn't.

​@@u.v.s.5583 you're not that bright. 😢

with Carlsen, Gukesh just a newbie. He 17 yearsold so not surprised when carlsen dont know a lot about Gukesh. Carlsen still destroy Ding, Ian, Gukesh or anyone.

One more game and he will be at +3 and not winning. Just outside Magnus predicted range +2...-5

having a double bong cloud in the world chess championship would be hilarious. But i think that FIDE would probably be big mad based on how they reacted to that knight dance those other players did

@@sillyking1991 The only way we get any real change in the way Chess is organized is, of course, protest. Team Bong!

there are more ifs than night jumps :D besides why would carlsen give draw to nakamura? one of the easiest match ups to predict :> magzy - naka is brutally skewed to the point elo does not reflect the outcome accurately if anything he's trolling so hard with that "being his best chance to win wc" :>>> on the other hand - despite being goat - or close to - he is by no means great at predictions - his alireza flop for example

@@s0undf0rm lol

I seriously dislike FIDE so anything that pisses them off is a win in my book. I've also been thinking that if Hikaru actually becomes world champion this year, Magnus may decide to try and challenge Hikaru next year. It would be absolutely amazing!

Because Gukesh has zero to nill online presence. While others are constantly playing online rapid and blitz and gaining fame popularity.

No one likes players (most importantly world champion) who only specialize in classical. Nordirbek and other juniors dominate Gukesh in faster controls.

@@nagumosdilemma8419 Might be true but did you watch yesterdays game against alireza when both were literally playing blitz

@@nagumosdilemma8419 who cares world champ is decided on the basis of classical

​@@Naoki-ge5xppopularity is never going to be a problem for an Indian player. Gukesh has his own way of doing things and doesn't fall in their online circle hence the cold shoulder.

Gukesh's wins over pragg (recent times) force me to wonder if psychology has that big of an impact at this level.

true and most people think that gukesh is older than pragg because of his beard

Imo, I think Magnus is in part ranking the juniors lower because of the immense pressure of the tournament that they’re not used to, not because he thinks they’re substantially worse players or don’t have the talent to win. To be fair, that’s shown some this Candidates with the juniors in particular really having time scrambles that have led to losses, and this is the same problem Alireza had last year in the candidates. I think Alireza is an incredibly strong player, but struggles to handle the mental duress on the top stage, and Magnus felt like many of the juniors would have to adjust to the pressure. Even more experienced players like Ding had that problem in the last World Championship. I do think he thinks Fabi and Hikaru are the strongest players in the tournament, but he’s not saying Gukesh or anyone else is weak. I haven’t followed Gukesh much in particular more than others, but I’ve heard he can be swing heavy and is a classical beast but weaker in other formats. I believe Magnus said he was his most difficult match in the World Cup. That being said, I think Gukesh has a great chance to win if he can avoid tiebreaks. I would love to see Fabi win as his chances only get worse from here and I don’t want him to go down in history as the best player to never win a WCC, especially after his psychological decline losing in 2018, but right now it seems like it’s Gukesh’s tournament to win with the remaining schedule. If Fabi can’t win, I’m pulling for him! I also just hope Nepo doesn’t win, not that I don’t like him, but I don’t want to see him crumble again and would rather see someone else get their shot.

@@bobtheominc4838 got ur point buddy

This comment aged well.

Along with achievement of being finalist of wcc

Also stability of prag has been quite phenomenal over any other current Indian player

Praggs knowledge of chess theory far exceeds gukesh and he's a far more stable player. Gukesh has often had spells where he does really poorly whereas pragg although he can have a bad day here and there, it never persists for long. This is clear even if you just look at their journey once they both hit 2700. Gukesh has been erratic, falling rlly low at times and then back up whereas pragg has been slowly but very steadily climbing up with barely any significant drops. Pragg also has a very fearless mentality remaining calm under high pressure situations against the very top players. Ofcourse you can argue this candidates gukesh has been on par with pragg but you need to consider who's been more consistent in terms of past history as well.

pragg is waay more solid especially in his openings

I feel gukesh is better than Pragg from whatever I’ve seen but who can question the goat maybe he hasn’t seen gukesh that much

Not a winning contender is what the burn is.

Yeaaah buddy🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Bro no need to cry. 😅😅

Magnus thook raha hai overhyped gukesh pe.

​@@someonefromlithosphereDid he say he's not?

And I took that personally - Gukesh

True but what would abasov may be thinking

@@chandanpatil9936 I'm not sure whether he was confident to win candidates (reason is He would be thanking magnus as he got his replacement, so psychologically it's luck) But he tried very hard in the first 9 games.

Videt😮🎉

Yeah i agree 😂😂 btw it Vidit bro not videt

@@madara.3059 yh that was an accident

That's kinda pathetic

So if the final standings are 1 Nakamura, 2 Caruana, 3 Gukesh, 4 Nepo, who would really blame Magnus?

He won,Now I am laughing at predictions😂

​@@u.v.s.5583 he won .now can we say magnus was wrong?

@@atulraghav1481can’t say Magnus was completely wrong coz Magnus predicted the result based on players experience and other stuffs. Proud of Gukesh winning the tournament tho.

@@G0kuL001 then how experience player loss

BRO I AM 🔥 He proved magnus prediction wrong let's gooo⭐

The Magnus video was definitely pre-candidates, because I saw it. I have no idea when this was recorded though. Hikaru may have been holding on to it to see if he did okay in the first half before releasing it.

Magnus vid was before it started

@@YHWHsam I'm aware, I was asking about Hikaru's predictions specificaly, just didn't clarify it.

The predictions Hikaru gave are not "actual" predictions, but rather predictions of what Magnus will predict. The Magnus video was obviously recorded pre-candidates, probably same with this video.

Magnus acknowledged Ian winning both Candidates, but said that is literally all he did in the last few years with anything else being a wash.

take ur words back

It is still really close. Alireza and Abasov are deffinetly out, but the difference beetween the 1st and the 6th place is 1 point. Anyithing can happen.

and he did it by beating Vidit! Cmon Gukesh, Hikaru and Nepo are eyeing that first spot rn

Pragg also coming​@@robertdominicceasarsalvill2221

Gukesh proved magnus totally wrong 🍿🍿, gukesh the underdog

I have a feeling that the second half of this tournament is gonna be wild and unpredictable.

There's still 7 more Rounds, you're talking as if there's only 2 Rounds remaining. Anything can happen, yet

Also Alireza😅

We will see their 100% game play in the second half for sure. Most of the candidates always trying to draw the first half just to find out what kind of preparation their opponents have. So that they can counter it on the second half. For sure, next half will be more exciting 😊

He's joint first

He's at the top after 13 round 🗿

He won ❤😂

It was recorded before the tournament yes

I’m sure God will step in if you just pray hard enough.

​@@sardendibsHe will 🗿

Yeah, sometimes it gets too American and too silly with Hikaru. There are 5 ranked categories, and they each have a label. Fine. Move on.

He literally repeats every single line that comes out of his mouth, he should be the last one to complain of redundancy lol. "I should've taken the draw chat, I should've taken the draw, chat I should've taken the draw, I should've taken the draw you guys."

@@sardendibs He has a point though. The bottom tier wasn't really necessary to be fair.

Agreed. I feel like the tier list was constructed to mean: 1. who will win, 2. who will be 2nd/3rd, 3. who will be 4th/5th, 4. who will be 6th/7th, and who will be dead last, but they tried to be too polite about it and it ended up sounding vague.
