The detail of game 6 was just that, a detail. Most people thought Nepo would cave after a loss and that's what he did. Magnus proved with Karjack that he doesn't cave. I thought Caruana was a much better match up, and he held serve in the classical format. But Carlsen is strong in all three, hell, in all four formats. I think Firouzja has the potential to be a great match up. But it's just really hard to beat Magnus. He has Fischer's will to win with even more accuracy.
