Every rápid online event from these tours are veryy exciting. The best rápid tournaments (online) are these. Since pandemic, in chess24. The most Legendary event was a final, where it was Naka vs Fabi in semis i guess and Magnus vs Ding. Magnus And Naka reached the finals, a match of 7 days. That was so epic, 3 days were for Naka, 3 for Carlsen and then the 7th was draw. Tie breaks didnt break the ties and they reached an Armageddon where magnus sac his Queen and created a fortress, needing a draw with the black pieces. 7 days, and the managed to get to the Armageddon, that was insane. I guess it was on 2020 or 2021

Not too long video lengths. Thanks

15:15 Caruana was too impatient to take that white queen. Qa7+ would have been crushing blow because following line is pretty much forced 1...Qa7+ 2.Kd5 Qxd7+ 3. Ke4 Qg4+ 4.Ke3 Qxc4 Black is whole queen+ 2 passed pawns up and that lone white pawn is not going anywhere. Surely Carlsen would have resigned here because even mediocre club player can convert it against Stockfish, I tried, it was quite easy
