Was he? Svidler implied that given he was close to both Magnus and Ian, they'd all decided not to put him in a difficult position and ask him to take sides. But Magnus did say it was the same team I guess.
Either way, feels like we saw a couple of his lines come up. His influence on the game is fascinating.
