– They have the right to have their stupid opinions – NRK Sport – Sporting news, results and plan of sending

Magnus Carlsen became world champion for the fourth time on Wednesday. This only happens two days after being heavily criticized by several experts.

During the 12th evening, the Norwegian proposed 31 movements only. At that time, he was better both on the board and at the time.

Carlsen thought that he was a big favorite when it came to the fast jacket. On Wednesday, he showed why when he had dismissed Fabiano Caruana from the board of directors with a very short time of reflection. Carlsen would like to win three of the three quick chess games. So, he also criticized the criticism.

"At the beginning of the 11th evening, I was pretty bad, then I decided not to lose, and after that I thought that if I had to have a better position in the twelfth part, I came to offer a recommendation. that there is not an attitude everyone wants from me, but that's what I think has given me the best chance of winning the match, "Carlsen said.

Continuous disagreement

Grand Master Ian Rogers was one of the most outspoken critics. He does not withdraw his criticism, despite the fact that Carlsen was above average on Wednesday.

– No, certainly not. It could be completely different if Caruana had found the right gesture in the first part. The good start was extremely important for Magnus, Rogers believes today.

If it had been 1-1, he might have begun to doubt himself and think, "Why did not he take it in the twelfth?" ", Believes the grand master.

But the experts certainly do not agree. Storm leader David Howell congratulates the Norwegian for his decision.

– Yes, it's great. It's a masterpiece. Magnus knows his strengths and his weaknesses. He knows that he can use his strength in such a match. If he had lost, we would say something completely different. But it's like in the fight against Karjakin. When we look back, we see how intelligent he is, Howell told NRK.

He congratulates the Norwegian for winning a new World Cup.

– This is his way of giving his opinion to critics. His instincts are better than anyone in the world. It was probably a stupid decision, "said the grand master.

• Here Carlsen decides the game:

– stupid opinions

During the World Cup, both players declared that they wanted longer matches in the World Cup to avoid as many recalls. Carlsen and Caruana both suggested that you could play 16 opening nights instead of 12.

Nevertheless, Carlsen defends the fact that fast and enlightened failures are part of the long-term World Cup.

"I think we need to put more emphasis on quick and light chess, because it's the branches that show you're better than the opponent." It's not unfortunate that this makes part of a long-term pursuit, "said Carlsen.

For Carlsen, he had no doubt he made the right assessment on Monday.

"I mean I made the right decision, not just because I did it, but Gary (Kasparov) and Vlad (Vladimir Kramnik) have the right to have their opinions stupid," Carlsen said.
