Just to be clear, this was a blitz game only, between friends / compatriots. Magnus played 1. … g6 followed by 2. … e6, so obviously Magnus wasn’t taking the game too seriously. (In the Sicilian, for example, it’s well known that these moves can lead to weak dark squares around a castles king, in the context of playing a Sicilian Dragon (say) then feeling the need to play …e6 later. But in this game, Magnus played these as his first two moves!) Not trying to diss Hammer, who is of course way better at chess than I am, but if the two had met during the recent world blitz championship rather than afterwards, the game would certainly not have begun that way!

@@jx14aby - Well, they might be correlated. Maybe Hammer was inspired by Agad to pursue this ending, or at least remember the possibility. That sounds reasonable to me. It would substantially increase the odds of someone ending a game this way, especially if the opponent was not thinking that way. Does Magnus follow Agad? Probably not, at least not for anything but social media familiarity. I don't deny the coincidence is terrifically fun, but I really do wonder if this is one of those it-is-not-as-unexpected-as-you-think moments.

I get why Magnus didn't block the rook with his Bishop. His bishop was on a strong diagonal threating a center pawn which white had to guard. Nobody likes walking into a pin either. And he would've had to block check and then move his king to unpin the bishop, which would just be an extra move. I mean, he obviously didn't calculate a bunch of sacs ending in a forced en passant mate in 11, as that's easy to miss.
