This is by far the best cct final I've ever witnessed. Alireza vs Magnus is without doubts the most exciting match up in this format. Also credits to Daniel and Tania for the amazing commentary.

Crazy, i was counting him out during the end of the game 4th where Magnus had the win in his hands. In my mind Magnus was already champ and Alireza winning that game was actually crazy, he found very good moves after magnus blundered. That was really unexpected

@ericastier1646 Ай бұрын

@@juliocadavid6640 I despise how people discount Alireza probably on unspoken national origins and your comment is a good example. Magnus was beat by Alireza 3 times neat and square in this tournament and Magnus only beat him just one time in 8 games ! Beside that they drew 4 times. That is evidence of undeniable superiority of Alireza in this tournament against Magnus. Especially since Alireza had to make two wins advance against Magnus for going through the losers branch. Plus Alireza crushed both Denis and Vincent like it was normal when Magnus struggled against both especially Vincent. There is nothing crazy about Alireza winning, he is the clearly superior player based on these results. If they had just played a best of two games final and drawn on the 1st game then win on second game then yes that would be a little win but for god's sake they played 8 games ! Alireza with a 3 games superiority. Your comment is in denial and hypocritical. Accept the reality.

@@ericastier1646 Your so blind, you saw superiority, i saw a bad day and a good day. Magnus was obviously tilted and wouldve normally beaten alireza in that 4th Game.

I admire Alireza, but after banter blitz he won and a bullet marathon people were crazy calling alireza better even if in bullet, Magnus dominated Alireza like in 10 marathons. I remmember very well people saying Alireza is better and he losing over and over against Carlsen until those comments dissappear and now again haha Magnus has almost a 2-1 scored against Alireza in CCT, don't over react yet. I root for Alireza, i hope he comeback and thats a good win but calling him superior to Carlsen, maybe when he very often wins rapid or blitz titles like Magnus, like its nothing, i would call him better than Carlsen.
