With the with the Rosolivo, and wait, am I seeing this correctly? Did Magnus just play F6?
And that is no mouse slip.
What?
There can be no mouse slip. This is an over-the-board event.
What?
What on earth is this move? Is what Sinderov is asking himself. Is what we are asking himself. Magnus, is he hiding a smile? Nihal Sarin walks in. He's like, "Hey, Magnus, bro, what did you just play?" I उसको E six खेलना था क्या?
What? I have never seen this in my life before F six. I mean, it could be that he wanted to play E six तानिया or G six, which is which is what he played against you know Fabi earlier in the World Championship. And I'm not really sure what's going on. What is F six?
If Magnus with some blind spot. Instead of e6, played f6. I have never seen that happen. That is absolutely shocking. But to me, it feels like, Sahaj, this is some kind of a shocker surprise for Javakir Sinderov.

Other moment, other moment.
Next or next chance for you? Next chance for you? आगे और नो आगे bro। इसे नहीं लूँगा। Okay sir, thank you. Thank you.
हो खूबसूरत आनंद होता है तेजा मुझे यानि expect ना होता कि लगे आशीष start हुई तेपन ये उड़े चार black games नंतर तर नक्के से एक pleasant surprise ऐसे मानते हैं। Overall तुम्हें यार team बदल के भी क्या है बढ़ाना?
जो team है ना overall बाकी team। अच्छा बदल के भी कैसा comfort करता है?
हाँ मुझे Magnus Carlsen team में थे असल कि you are bound to be one of the favorites। यानी खूब attention असल team वर्ती। पर हमें चांगलर खेलते हुए तर hopefully असल form maintain रहे। विदित congratulations for the game once again man player of the match। What a way to come back for you and the team। And the final position was Zhu Zhuang.
Of sorts, how do you feel?
I mean, the game was completely crazy. It was some preparation of his, and I had no clue, and I was figuring it out over the board, and I had like 15 minutes disadvantage compared to him in this time control. And the funny thing is, this exact same position was in Nihal versus Anish, which I had no clue because I had no time to look up, and I would have regretted not looking up if I had lost. And, um, yeah, I don't know if I played well, but it was thrilling. And, um, no wonder my, you know, smart tracker says I'm aging fast. Like, if I play like this, it's bound to happen.
As you mentioned, uh, in Anish's game, there was the same position. Did you follow the game? Like, what was he playing?
I should have followed. Um, if I'd followed, I would have copied his move. And, um, by the time I deviated, I was so low on time, I thought, okay, I should play But maybe if I had followed Anish, it would have been a draw because it would have been prep. And here he gave me chances. I think Dubov could have stabilized and taken advantage, but he was playing too fast, and I, you know, got a chance because of that.
Like, like, as you mentioned, where do you think Dubov started going wrong?
I think when he played this move b7, he could have taken on c7, and I think it would have been very dangerous for me, practically at least. But he played this move b7, and I think after that I have chances because in the endgame, although his pawn is advanced, I mean, it's not easy to promote it. So I can just bring my king.
And last question: How will you and the team celebrate this big match win?
Um, it's too soon to celebrate, but yeah, I'll just do the usual stuff: go to the gym, spend some quality time with my wife.
Yeah. Thank you, Vidit. Bye and all the best. Hello, Mohsin. Congratulations. For the win.
Thank you.
First win, starting with three draws. How do you feel after beating Morizi?
I feel very happy and think I play very good. I like my game. I think it's very good quality. I'm also happy that my team won. Yeah, very happy.
And after knight takes e six, did you immediately understand knight b four is just winning? Take us through your calculations.
Hmm.
Actually. After knight a4, I saw this queen b6. I decide how to play immediately knight before or queen b6 immediately because I calculate some variations. But after knight a6, knight before, yes, I thought I should be winning. Yeah, but I already see this knight before. I just calculate it again.
Thank you, Muzin, and all the best for your next game.
