great event... if it continues it would be cool to invite players like fabi or fabi or perhaps fabi, (or maybe anish...) to events like this.... people who perhaps? rival magnus in memory and old theory/games. ofc the russian players know all those old games too but thats perhaps a bit more complicated right now.

Mr. DIRECTOR: Please, there is NO need to switch cameras and move the board position that often, It makes it WAYYYYY to difficult to follow the game, which is difficult enough on it's own. I know you have a bunch of cameras to use, but the shots of the players should be used minimally. The two shot with the board shown in the center should be up 90% of the time, ESPECIALLY when the game is concluding. AVOID the impulse to switch cameras. Thank you for your consideration.

Pawn mate is considered hard to achieve and the opponent very weak(my initial days on chess board).

Vishy's queen side I would like to describe as pieces obstructing pawn movement.

Magnus is a force and becomes unstoppable.

Who decides about the position being equal.

Normally I love hikaru but the exchange with magnus after the game seemed off.
