Has to be so frustrating to get Magnus out of castling, he's moving his knights backwards, reverse development, shuffling his unprotected king around. But you just can't find any exploitable weakness in his position. Then you play the pogo stick, or whatever waiting moves you're doing hoping for something. But it's Magnus who is the one who almost always finds the weakness to lean on.
