Magnus draw against the world

Can you imagine it though? An entire chess community... Collab of strongest players paired with Stockfish 17.1... All that matters is that nobody messes up the vote system.

Both of them are true

Well first off, most players referred to the coaches assigned to them by Chess.com, not the random guy in the alleyway spewing stockfish moves.

Second off, IN NO universe can magnus get a draw against stockfish, the rating difference and play strength is MUCH too high for even magnus to even have a chance.

Third of all, Magnus probably WAS trying, as even without stockfish 142k people + strong coaches can find great moves which magnus definitely would have crumbled too if he WASN'T trying.

Magnus is simply the GOAT

Stockfish is simply a machine capable of finding the BEST moves, calculating up to 50+ moves in an instant.

Magnus would take an hour to do what stockfish could find in a minute.

AI beats even the best humans sometimes, just the way life goes.

Agreed! Still, I don't refrain from saying participants took engine help in the game

Im sure someone did. Even out of curiosity, someone could say "Hey, i run Stockfish for 20 minutes on my PC, it say 'Bf3' is the best move" and, like in broken phone game, in the chat everyone start telling its the best move. Masters look it up and like "Well what you know? Its sure the greatest one we thought so far..."

I followed the match. Put simply, it’s a miracle we drew. The coaches are probably the reason. Huge respect for them. Remember when the world nearly blundered a piece? We had to go for a bad move because it was the only way to survive. It had a lot of votes. Despite there being several better moves, we had to choose a bad one. There were just a few thousand people voting each turn. People literally had to make memes to get people to vote for the best move in the situation. We consistently voted for quite bad moves in the chat. So with less than 100k people actually voting, us being forced to literally vote for a bad move so we didn’t blunder a piece away, and bad moves being voted for, you can’t blame me for thinking the Magnus didn’t take this all that seriously. I don’t know how we drew the game. The coaches are miracle workers.

How did people do that. Bc5 just hangs it, only 700 votes decided the actual move. So crazy

They usually make their predictions based off pure calculation alone, they do NOT look at those messages.

And most people believe them, so most of the time stockfish is never used.

Is magnus the greatest of all time?

I would probably choose Garry over Magnus.

Coz Garry performed really well before the existence of engines. Magnus in this era has a lot more of learning options. Tbh, Magnus has a better skill. But, considering Garry didn't have this much resources to prepare for games,.I would pick Garry Kasparov over Magnus Øen Carlsen

Yes

Was it draw by repetition or agreed or anything else?

Repetition

Thank You have a good day/night

Actually, in the magnus game i only understood the opening and the endgame. In the middlegame i was like, why is he playing this move? So i just followed what other people voted most. And thanks to the world, they managed to get a draw to Magnus Carlsen.
