Do you really think this is that? Magnus is far from "aged out" of competitive chess.

Magnus has also historically taken losses pretty well (as well as one might assume in a highly competitive environment), in the last month he tweeted https://twitter.com/MagnusCarlsen/status/1561721460334510080...

> Fully deserved, after a performance that showed great resilience, determination, and quality. As for me, I am happy to (barely) be younger than the second and third place finishers combined

I don't think it's losing well at all. He just had to put that flex in there about his age. How is that losing well?

I think you're both wrong :-)

GP is wrong because Magnus won this tournament – but he did lose to Pragg three times along the way. But I don't think you can say you are "losing well" when you congratulate the silver medalist while holding gold.

You're wrong because, what flex? Pragg is 17 and Alireza Firouzja (the third place finisher) is 19. His comment reads more as a hat tip to two young rising stars than anything else.

Heh, my bad, I thought he placed 3rd. Thanks for pointing that out
