It feels like the cohort GM player pool is mentally cooked against Magnus.
Youngsters like Lazavik during the Speed Chess Championship or Sindarov in Freestyle were the most recent convincing wins against Magnus, but the historical mental edge that Magnus comes into each game after beating the brakes out of everyone is hard to overcome.
Ageism also just one of these shitty unproven biases, like sexism, which is self-realizing by applying pressure to people who fall out of the mold even slightly.

Magnus' time will come! But not today.
Are you referring to the odd individual game? Magnus beat Lazavik pretty badly in the SCC and knocked Sindarov out of the Freestyle final.
or maybe he's just very good?
Brain ages. He will eventually decline just like any human being. Let's hope by then he will have the wisdom to smile when that happens.

He's 30 something, not 90.

Fabi a bridesmaid again. The curse of being born in Magnus' generation.
The curse of being born in Smartphones’ generation :3
I think Nakamura didnt play this time because of his Candidates prep. Otherwise I think Nakamura would have a slight edge on Carlsen in this game.
Do the engines have a similar edge in Fischer Random and regular chess?
