Unlike GM Benjamin Finegold whose second thing said after I opened the stream was "it's irrelevant that White controls the e file here because they can't penetrate...they don't allow that sort of thing in the UAE"

Game 3 draw and I'm glad I'm half paying attention to the Q+A afterward:
"Today's game was analyzed in a database up through move 20 two days ago. If this turned out to be one of your team forgetting to mark it private, how would you react?"
Magnus: "no comment"
Then the next question was about brain drug chess doping :lol:

Maybe a dumb question: what is the purpose of the touch-move rule in OTB chess? If I had to guess I'd say it's to punish players for not thinking through their move before touching; but if you touch a piece with no legal moves, there's no penalty, which seems to avoid punishment for the arguably worse offense. Is that just because such situations are rare enough in high-level play that no one cares either way?

If you could touch the pieces grandmasters would just be drumming on them shits to bait their opponent into wasting a bunch of brain analyzing decoy lines

Also the above

5+3 is where it's at

even better if it's low elo 5+3 where every game ends with both players having 3-4 minutes on the clock
