Hey Everyone! Here's the only response I could find from Jan Gustafsson regarding this game for those interested: https://youtu.be/Ywftg9hRlsc?t=397

I personally, have never lost to Magnus so can’t relate

I thought Gustaffson's response to what must have been a very frustrating game was very professional, and I ended up with much more respect for him as a person after this video. I find behavior like his in this situation inspiring, so kudos to him.

I love how Gustaffson correctly identified who he was playing against.

I wish we could see his reaction to the prank! He handled the unfair match with so much self control that he's one of my new favorite chess players.

Shows what a difference there is between Grandmasters. I've played against Jan two times and I felt what he felt against Magnus.

This was true sportsmanship. He hinted that the opponent is very suspicious of using AI assistance but never opanly accused him and took the loss like a true champ.

Jan comments on the Dutch not just because you don't see it at the highest level, but because Jan has a running gag on his streams that he absolutely hates the opening and is convinced that it's unusable generally. Which is made even funnier in this context, because he is basically the first name in Carlsen's team for his World Championship matches!

Jan is the national team coach of the Germans. We love him! He is also a talented comedian

Gustaffsson gave me a feeling of nostalgia, like it's the 1970s and I'm seeing it on TV.

Actually, at 9:12 Gustaffson unconsciously realizes what's going on when he says "either he's the biggest genius in the world" - which exactly what his opponent is.
