Insights on the game we all love :)

@FRosyrat96857 @HansMokeNiemann This is why I mentioned "in recent times"
Also Hikaru is nowhere compared to Magnus in classical. Bro has one classical win against Magnus. Since Hikaru started playing Mickey mouse events his classical game has dropped. I would love if Hikaru proves me wrong but I don't see it.

@anishgiri I love the choice

[Chess With Darren @ChessWithDarren]

@hypemik22 @Persian_chess Yeah, massively agree

[Chess With Darren @ChessWithDarren]

@anishgiri Will we see a handshake in the Nepo Hans game or not?
Prediction time

@gutsy_gambit Does Gukesh show a bit of his prep at the Olympiad or keeps it all reserved?

[Chess With Darren @ChessWithDarren]

Gukesh 🥲

[Chess With Darren @ChessWithDarren]

@anishgiri How rare is it to actually win 4 classical games in a row against super gms?

[Chess With Darren @ChessWithDarren]

Winning 4 classical games in a row to win an elite event with a certain Magnus and a world champion and other top players of the world in it!!!
Congratulations @rpraggnachess

[Chess With Darren @ChessWithDarren]

@gutsy_gambit Exactly. At this point if it's just him trying to hide prep or something it's better if he goes on to lose the match and show that prep and actually win something which in turn will get his confidence back too.

Poor Vincent

@anishgiri Atleast explain

@anishgiri Pragg has a huge advantage on the clock too in this absolute mess on the board. I don't see this going well for Gukesh

@anishgiri @chessmonitor How can you even think of playing g4 here though? Violates every principle and looks so weakening. I don't really understand the logic behind it😭

[Chess With Darren @ChessWithDarren]

@agadmator Pity we won't see much of Carlsen vs Pragg in classical here on

[Chess With Darren @ChessWithDarren]

@anishgiri You should start posting too

[Chess With Darren @ChessWithDarren]

@_khamoshii_ Magnus thinks too much in the opening

[Chess With Darren @ChessWithDarren]

@anishgiri Why is 🐐 spending an eternity in the opening especially with this 10 second increment only and after move 40?
There's no second time control too. Just spending that much time in apparently deciding what to play doesn't make sense. Not the magnus we know
