This is over now. There is no human on Earth who can beat Magnus twice in classical games in a short time.

I decided chess might be a proper sport after all. At least their world champions don't dress up in a clown costume. Neither do they shout at the opponent after taking one of their pieces

Game 6 is a display of why chess can be considered a sport. Almost 8 hours of intensity requires a lot of stamina and perseverance.

I would +1 vizIIsto's last comment now, but the forum is dying unfortunately, so I can't do that.
