– Those are quite extreme figures, actually. That’s according to Tarjei J. Svensen, chess expert and journalist for Chess.com. On Friday, it is ready for the final in the Speed \u200b\u200bChess Championship, where Magnus Carlsen will face Hikaru Nakamura. On the way there, he has beaten Santosh Gujrathi Vidit 17.5-8.5, Jan Nepomnjashchij 20.5-9.5 and Wesley So 22-7. EXPERT: Tarjei Svensen. Photo: Mads Nyborg St\u00f8stad \/ news What has really impressed Svensen is how accurately the Norwegian has played. Before the semi-final against So on Tuesday, he was out on X (formerly Twitter). There he highlighted that Carlsen had respectively 92.7 per cent and 91.1 per cent against Vidit and Nepomnjashchij measured in terms of how accurately he played. That means how often Carlsen makes the move that the chess computer thinks is the best move. Photo: Screenshot: X In the match against So even Carlsen just over 93 percent. So far in the tournament, Carlsen thus has the three highest accuracy scores of all players. – The level is quite sky high In addition to the three matches Carlsen has played, there have also been eleven other matches in the tournament with 16 of the best players in the world. – One should not be completely blind to the fact that it necessarily means that Carlsen is the best player. One should not overexplain what they say, but it is an indicator of how high a level he thinks. He is quite clearly the best on average in the three matches he has played, says Svensen. – He has played 85 games and has an accuracy of 92-93 percent. It is quite extreme, compared to a computer, he says further. The Norwegian chess journalist has followed the tournament closely for the organizer chess.com and has also worked with statistics around the tournament. The tournament itself is arranged so that it is played with three different thinking times. First, the game is played for 90 minutes with five minutes of thinking time, with an additional second for each move. Then there is 60 minutes with three minutes of thinking time, with an additional second for each move, before it is concluded with 30 minutes with one minute of thinking time and one second in addition for each move. – He maintains about the same high level in 1+1 as in 5+1. There are a few more mistakes, but the level is quite high. The accuracy does not take into account the thinking time, it only assesses the qualities of the move, he says and asserts: – Those are quite extreme numbers and very much higher than all others. RIVAL: Hikaru Nakamura is one of the world’s best chess players. Photo: PIERRE-PHILIPPE MARCOU \/ AFP Can avenge final loss Svensen takes a small step back with the worse opposition a player faces, the easier it is for a player to get a high accuracy score. At the same time, he is clear that there is nothing suspicious about Carlsen’s speech. When the case between Magnus Carlsen and Hans Niemann stormed last year, among other things, several long chess games where Niemann had 100 percent in accuracy scores were drawn against Niemann. – There is no suspicion against Magnus at all. There is absolutely no one who does that, because you know that Magnus is at that level, says Svensen. In the final of the Speed \u200b\u200bChess Championship on Friday, Carlsen gets the chance to avenge last year’s final loss. Then Nakamura won 14.5-13.5. Carlsen won the tournament when it was played for the first time in 2017, while Nakamura has won the last five editions. – If you look at the accuracy score, Nakamura’s is quite a lot lower than Carlsen’s. I’m a little unsure of how it plays out. Objectively speaking, you can say that Magnus has the highest score and has played the most perfect chess, says Svensen. He concludes: – Now it’s a completely new game and you don’t always win by playing that way. It’s human here. It is completely open.
