Who will win the Coinbase 2023 Speed Chess Championship?
See bracket here.
@SophusCorry 2 for 2? In H2H I believe they're 2-1, though Magnus did lose to MVL who lost to Hikaru once. Other things to keep in mind are Magnus beat Hikaru by bigger margins than Hikaru beat Magnus, and they had a very close match in 1+0 bullet chess championship which Hikaru probably has a bigger edge in than the SCC format
@EliLifland yeah I mean in head to head it's two for one but I don't see how it makes magnus' record better that he got kicked out by MVL.
I have bet most of my mana on hikaru right now but I do agree that Magnus won't go down without a fight. I have said "never bet against Magnus" in the past so maybe I should listen to myself. Time will tell..
Wesley wins, Alireza is out. What a match... Anyone who thought this wouldn't be close was very mistaken.
