Today we're going to find out who knows each other better, me and my sister, or Magnus and Ella.
The way it's going to work is we're going to ask a question, you're going to write what you think
my answer is, I will say it, and then we'll see who gets the most right. If you guys win,
we have this beautiful photo of Gukesh jacked that we will give you as a prize.
Got us using the same prize twice in a row that we lost!
Ella, Andrea, who is our favorite player at the tournament? So you're going to try to guess who
Magnus's favorite player is, and you can't say yourself, Magnus. Okay, I hope I don't get this
wrong because that would be really embarrassing. Wait, okay, you're going to say, wait, Magnus,
who's your favorite player at the tournament? It's such a general question. Favorite player,
like my favorite player is myself. But you can't say that. I cannot say myself. I would say Fabiana
then. Yeah, okay, that's good. Magnus. Okay, thank god if you got that wrong that would have been
really embarrassing. What is their comfort food? Uh, ooh. I'm gonna, oh god, you have two.
Okay, I'm gonna put two because you have a lot. Well, he has, okay, no I can't. I'll put two
options. I'll explain later. Okay. I'm also doing two. Okay, Magnus, what's your comfort food? Oh,
this is gonna be so bad. Okay, so my brain is not working at all right now. It's okay.
Yeah, no, no, I'm writing down the main one and then something that follows, like when we're
watching TV. Okay, so I guess we're both giving our tips. Yeah, yeah, so, oh, uh, so, uh, spicy,
uh, spicy Szechuan food. Oh, that's actually my favorite food, but not comfort food. Okay,
Ella, flip. Okay, well, greasy, spicy Szechuan food. Oh, wow, okay. And then on the couch,
he likes ice cream and candy. Okay, okay, we'll give you, we'll give you that. He didn't mention
that one. Um, I bet Andrea wrote pizza and mac and cheese for me. Did you see my thing? No,
but those are my favorite foods. No, I said mac and cheese or pampas because you love pampas,
a Brazilian grill. You eat it every single day. Yeah, but it's not, that's, that's not comfort
food. That's healthy-ish food. Pampas is not healthy. How could you not put pizza? And what
do you mean it's not healthy? But you eat it every day. Okay, are we giving, do we get a point for
that, you think? A point for each. Half point. Yeah, I think a half point. No, but he didn't say
ice cream, so I guess. No, but I mean. You got the first one. I got the first one. It's the truth.
Because we got half, you guys got half. All right, we're tied. We're tied. He's tired. Keep going.
Okay, we're tied. Keep going. Okay, but question from the press, does Magnus find the most annoying?
And I actually guess what question do you find the most annoying? You have so many. If you don't
know this, I'm not talking to you anymore. I know, I know, I know. Okay, my marker's dying, but. I'm excited
to see this. Okay, Magnus? So, I will answer another one first. It's what, it's like what
question from Ella that I find most annoying. In general. Okay, I'm warranted. It's. You can't just
expose me like that. No, it's, it's, it's not like, it's not a question, but it's more a statement. Wait, let
me write it down. It's more a statement. Wait, a statement? A statement. I'm curious. I don't think
you're gonna get it. It's like, it's your shoelaces are untied. Oh. Yeah, I know. But you're. Magnus doesn't like.
You're so clumsy. It's like, you're clumsy, your shoelaces are untied, you're going to fall. Like, you can't. I'm not, I'm not.
You're one or the other. You can't have both. He fell for you. He runs down the stairs. Okay. Uh, what question from. I wasn't, yeah.
Maybe I know you better than you know yourself. Probably something about Neiman, I don't know.
I guess you can say Hans Neiman. It could be anything about Hans. No, that's not it. Anything
about your personal life you would say. Nope, that was his answer. We gotta keep the game. We asked him
a lot of personal questions. Yeah, I mean. Uh-oh, it's us. Yeah. Problem. Mine is, have you seen the Queen's Gambit?
Yes. I actually like that. Really? You like that question? Yeah. All right, so cliche. I like talking about it.
Of course we've seen Queen's Gambit. It is a massive cliche. Like, obviously. But I like talking about it. It's a great show.
It's just we, we get asked it so often that now when I get asked it, I have, oh, it's tough. Okay, we have three
points. Did I tell you I started re-watching it when I first met you? Ella was an animal, what animal
would she be? So you're gonna guess what he will pick for you, and Andrea, you're gonna guess what
I would pick for you. We're done. We're causing problems. We'll take you, Ella. So I know Ella wants me to say.
Yeah, then say it. Black cat. Yes. Okay, okay. Why a black cat? Because I'm the opposite. Okay, that's cute.
That makes sense. Okay, definitely. I'm a golden retriever. She's a golden retriever. Yeah. That's a good, okay, that's a good answer.
Okay, I would definitely say chihuahua, and I would add angry chihuahua, but just chihuahua. I just said chihuahua.
Yeah. Oh, good. I don't like that. Because she's really happy. I don't agree with it, but I know that that's what you think.
What is your most toxic trait? Andrea, you should write down what you think my most toxic trait is.
I thought, it's mine. No, it's mine. Oh, so you think I would guess you. I mean, I don't have a lot of them, so.
Really? I have a few. I have a couple, but I don't think you'd guess them, so I'm gonna put what I think you'd guess.
Come on. Probably, like, disagreeability. Like, I'm quite disagreeable.
Like, I don't. I just find that more annoying. And, like, toxic. It just, it just, like, takes longer to
to get through things. Yeah. I wrote, he yells when he loses a game playing title tuesday.
Oh, come on. That's a sweet one. That's a sweet one. That's not toxic. Yeah. I find it, it's just, it's just passion.
I, like, go to my room and, like, hide under the covers. I hate it when he yells. That's so funny.
Yeah, I told you. I know, but.
Okay, you know what? Okay. Wait, I'm gonna leave what I put, okay? Leave it. Okay, I put it back.
But I'm disorganized. Oh, what did you put? Ego. Ego. Oh, wow. Now we swap. Okay, swap. All right, so we are one
point in the lead. What's something they admire most about the other person? So you're gonna
guess what I admire most about you. Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. I think I can guess that. Put a sweet one, because love
and sibling love is in the air today. All right, have you wrote, Magnus? Yes. Okay. Okay, I guess it's not that
I'm funny, because I think I'm funny, but. You are funny. That's not what he, thank you. You're naturally funny.
He doesn't admire that about me the most. Kind? Is it because I'm smart? Intelligence. Aw, that was really sweet.
Okay, that was good. Okay. That was great. All right, Andrea? I hope it's my creativity. Oh, that was my first one.
That was so easy. I was gonna put creativity, instead I put you're a good person. Darn it.
Come on. Okay, we're tied. We're tied. Okay, now it's Nick-to-Nick. That one was, yeah. That's embarrassing. Which chore do they hate doing the most?
That was quick. Oh. Well, just think about, okay, I can't help you. No help. Magnus looks lost. Oh, there are many.
Well, you wrote your answer. No, I already wrote my answer. Okay, all right. What is it? Dishes.
Ah, dishes. You wrote it. Was it dishes? Yeah. Doing the dishes. Okay. Luckily, he does them.
I would say the trash. Yes. I mean, but it could have been that as well. Yeah. One thing they're
secretly good at. Okay, one thing they're secretly good at. What are you secretly good at? You're not
secretive about anything. I'm not secret. I know what you're gonna say. But I'm gonna still try to guess
what you're gonna say. I don't have any secrets, that's the issue. I'm very open about anything
I'm good about, because I thought a lot. Yeah. I like to brag about it. Okay, well, think, you know,
you have to think a little outside the box. It's not secret. It's not, yeah. It doesn't have to be secret.
Okay. Well, it can't just be one thing they're good at. You can't put chess. No. No, no, it's for Ella. Oh, yeah.
It has to be, like, not just one thing they're good at. It has to be something people may not
guess. Like, this is pretty obvious. Okay, all right. Let's see if you can read his mind. Um, I would,
no, because the thing is, you kept talking, and then I was like, when I changed my answer,
I was gonna go with cooking. Okay, so with one thing. Because I, like, never used to cook for him
and said I was bad, but, I mean, maybe I am bad, but he said he's good, so. What did you put? This.
Ah, cooking. No. Okay, good job. We're screwed. Yeah, I was wondering to say that or, like, computer
science, just, like, maths. Yeah, yeah, that's like. Maths, but. I'm good at that. Cooking was good. But, like, you don't do that anymore. Yeah.
Okay, I'm gonna guess. Please don't throw. Because it's not gonna be something super obvious,
like, music, but I'm gonna guess something kind of more niche. But maybe still obvious. Dancing.
Really? I put fashion. Yes! Yeah! I win. I lost twice in a row. Everyone. I thought. That's not a secret.
Everyone knows I'm good at fashion. No, I don't. Never mind. Do I dress myself well? You do, but. But it's not a secret.
It's less obvious. All right. Dancing is a good one, though. I should have guessed dancing. Yeah,
it was very obvious. Congratulations, you guys. Um, we're gonna get Gukesh to sign this. We already
gave it away to the first couple who beat us. Okay, so what is our real prize here? We will
work on it and get back to you later.
