Magnus wins, resolves NO

Pragg had such an amazing run. It’s not over yet, but unless Magnus blunders hard, there’s no way he can win this from the current position.

tfw you're not very good at chess but you know how to watch the white bar get bigger

Edit:
lol

predictedNO

@Mqrius At least you are more self-aware than the average youtube chatter

predictedNO

@Mqrius I am adding an extra layer of expertise by listening for the GM casters saying "This looks bad for pragg", making big mana this way currently.

predictedNO

Ooh it got bigger again

predictedNO

@Mqrius The youtube chatters in question:

F

@SophusCorry Casters just said "This match is essentially over"

predictedNO

Oh white bar shrunk. Cmon Magnus what are you even doing! Who would even move a queen like that??

predictedYES

@SophusCorry leave it to people online to make the worst possible claims

I’m sorry but no country is allowed to have 2 wins in a row. Pragg will not win today.

I believe.

Pragg resigns first game where he had the white pieces..

predictedYES

@SophusCorry Magnus simply king at Blitz. I still believe.

predictedNO

@ParthKolekar anything could happen but it's not looking good for pragg imo

predictedYES

@SophusCorry in such high level play, where all you have to do is draw, Magnus just needs to play the safe moves to force a draw. Pragg would need to play riskier moves to bait the longest reigning #1 at Chess into misplacing. These are abysmal odds.

I STILL BELIEVE.

Praggna-notgonnawin-da

predictedNO

They agreed to a draw, so they have tiebreakers with shorter time controls tomorrow. I will make sure not to close this market before it is decided. It is possibly due to Magnus being sick from food poisoning that he chose a drawish opening.

as much as i want him to, i don't think he will :(

First game was a draw

Magnus had a lot more time left on the clock before they got to the draw though. If that's indicative of the rest of the games then Praggnanandhaa doesn't have much chance.

@Mqrius Meh I don't necessarily think that's indicative of anything, but Pragg was definitely the underdog from the start and still is.

predictedYES

@SophusCorry i genuinely feel he might win

@nobody it would be awesome to see. But I can't imagine him winning with the black pieces so he would have to do it in tiebreaks probably. He is good enough to pull it off but I think it's unlikely.
