That's just a silly thing to say.

I'm probably missing something, but are you talking about the tournament he recently won?

A Knight Blunder Is The Worst Worst Worst Worst Worst Worst Move In Chess History.

Oh, must be something different then. I thought it was the 2025 Norway tournament where Carlsen got mad because he lost to Gukesh. The internet says Carlsen won.

Gukesh won the game, later Magnus won the tournament. You are talking about different "wins".

I Think Magnus Still Is On The Top Of The Game, But In The Future Someone Surely Will Surpass Him As Even More Skilled Then Him.

Ah, ok.

Well I'm sure Magnus loses a lot of games. But the original comment didn't make sense to me. He said Magnus had a downfall after losing that game. I don't think winning the tournament is a downfall. I think it's the exact opposite.

To come back and win after an obviously frustrating loss to me means that he's probably about as good as he's ever been.

Guys , Magnus Or Gukesh Who Is Better?

Magnus is still a level above of every other player. But he's also human. He makes mistakes sometimes. All the other player make mistakes, too - but when Magnus does it, it's always big news ... The cost of being at the top.

Don't worry, it doesn't make sense to anyone. The OP is hallucinating.

I would say that a young Magnus would have read his own move before he did it.
