It feels like the cohort GM player pool is mentally cooked against Magnus.

Youngsters like Lazavik during the Speed Chess Championship or Sindarov in Freestyle were the most recent convincing wins against Magnus, but the historical mental edge that Magnus comes into each game after beating the brakes out of everyone is hard to overcome.

Magnus' time will come! But not today.

I think Nakamura didnt play this time because of his Candidates prep. Otherwise I think Nakamura would have a slight edge on Carlsen in this game.

Fabi a bridesmaid again. The curse of being born in Magnus' generation.

Do the engines have a similar edge in Fischer Random and regular chess?

Wow. If make.com can afford to sponsor a chess tournament .. their users are overpaying.
