Excellent form only in freestyle, rapid, and blitz chess. He hasn’t done great in classical chess this year except for the World Cup. He has lost around 20 rating points this year in classical.
When he's playing youngsters, his heart rate is higher when he's in a bad position. You can tell he really cares about putting the young generation in his place.

I just saw the Grand Slam tour finals list. How is Esipenko number 10? I’ve didn’t see him in Germany, Las Vegas, or Paris? Where did his points come from and if he had those many points, why wasn’t he invited to a live event?
When Levon does well, it's a good day
iirc he had also beaten magnus (with commentary from Hans) before also where he went on to win the whole tournament this year only
Yes, Hans went crazy after that and was on cloud 9, as if he had become the 1st American World Chess Champion
That stare and shake from Magnus means respect
They are good friends off the board
Of course, but this was respect for the game, Magnus rarely gets outplayed like this from start to finish
It's a shame Levon didn't qualify for the Candidates this cycle. He seems to be in excellent form.

I'm pretty sure the comment you responded to didn't mean to say Magnus is in the young generation, but the opposite

Magnus with the tribute to "my boy" Alireza with that time management.
Will they switch shirt for the next game?
We all know how this ends. Magnus is going to take his opponent to tie breaks and win at the end.
Didn’t Levon win the last freestyle event?
He did win Vegas but not sure if there was any in-between then and now
Hahaha do we?
happy to be proved wrong
It depends on the opening. Some openings are so good for white and some are easier to play w black
He did it, he beat Magnus after 2 games and became the champ

He shared third place with Svane at the Grenke Freestyle Open and got 15 points for that.
I see. Thank you. It would have been nice to see him and Svane in Vegas
