Magnus Carlsen is an embarrassment

I was absolutely THRILLED with the draw. And I'll tell you why. I Really Really Really want Fabiano to win this. I want our first American World Chess Champion in decades. Fabiano was getting murdered in this position, and he was down to 8 minutes vs Magnus's 45, in a position where Magnus was pointing an artillery canon at Caurana's head. I thought FOR SURE it was over. I was dissapointed and pissed. And when this draw came through, Fabiano and US Chess dodged a bullet. Also, on behalf of Magnus, of COURSE everyone here knows it was a "bad draw offer." You are all sitting at home or in the office, comfortble, no one watching you, with nothing to lose, not a dime on the line, all with Sesse and Stockfish telling you the perfect moves, so you "know" what ever player should do. They are sitting there in a fishbowl, the world watching, knowing every move will be studied by children and grandmasters for all of eternity, knowing every win and loss with be immortalized, with over a Million Dollars on the line. They don't have engines there, and they have no idea really what is going to happen. If Magnus didn't see a viable way forward, then no one here can tell me that they would have seen it if they were sitting in Magnus's place.

"Magus is a coward" Okay, you guys go beat the world number #2 with the world watching and a million dollars on the line after 11 exhausting games with no engine to tell you the perfect move. You all know it was a bad draw offer because you all had Sesse and Stockfish on your phone or desktop and you had nothing on the line. If you were sitting in the chair with no engine, I promise no one here would know more than Magnus did. You can't evaluate a decision by someone else using premises that apply to you - i.e. - Not tired, You have the engine and no pressure. You have to evaluate decisions based on the premises that apply to the person who made the decision. "But I would NEVER have offered a draw in that position!!" Of course you wouldn't, because Mutha fuckas, you aint NEVER gonna be in a position to offer anything to the world number 2 player in the world championship.

WORD!

Wait a minute.

You're telling me that all these armchair quarterbacks here are wrong, and that Magnus Carlsen, THE WORLD CHESS CHAMPION saw something they didn't and was right all along?

No way! 

They tested the final position in CCCC with various engines. 

Most of the games ended as draw! 80% I think. (there will be 56 games )

In this game, even no 1 stockfish cant win as black!

The likely result is that " Black's advantage is not significant enough to forced win" 

Well quite a big view here against poor Magnus, I have followed this final game and watched all the Analysis through two you-tubes, the top engines give the final position as a small plus to black, yes there is plenty of play the the plus in the position is only small, I admit Magnus does have a time advantage but it's not a position that Magnus opponent would struggle to make the next time control, these are all factors Magnus would have taken into account before offering the draw, is the small plus going to be enough to push for a win, recall the defence kasparov lost his crown in at 5 games he had a small plus in but converting such edges into a win was very difficult even for kasparov, players now days are so good that a small edge is nolonger going to be enough for a win!!? Yes Magnus would have considered the quicker time controls in the coming games, that does not make him a poor champion, F.I.D.E. have made the rules of the championships not Magnus he is not a bad person, or a poor sportsman, he would congratulate his opponent if successful I am sure, but one needs to appreciate the pressure of being in his position it's not easy I certainly wouldn't want to be in the position pressure and all the eyes of the chess world your Judge and Jury.

Engines do not prove anything, there are positions which are considered equal by the engines but are not equal when humans play them (because one side requires really precise and perfect play while the other has many strong moves and possibility). In this position all grand masters (and in particular both players) agreed that black was better. I understand Carlsen decision to play safe with his superiority in short times controls, but to say the position was equal is not true.   

I was absolutely THRILLED with the draw. And I'll tell you why. I Really Really Really want Fabiano to win this. I want our first American World Chess Champion in decades.

Varelse1 Try to take Magnus place in the game, i am sure you would not do different then him in this situation. Magnus believe he has better chances now when it goes to Rapid because it was to big risk to lose the game at the game of the 12. Magnus still want to be world champion you know, so he does what he need, even the rest of the world would think he is wrong
