  1. 24:05 actually Magnus reached his highest live rating of 2889 sometime in early 2014 when he also first set his official 2882 record. In 2019 he exactly matched his 2882 best but his live rating didn’t get as high as 2889

  4. There's a story about a chess tournament that Magnus Carlsen played in about a year ago. In the vast majority of his games in that tournament, whether playing as white or black, Magnus Carlsen used a 19th Century opening move that had hardly ever been played in the 21st Century in grandmaster tournament level:

    King's bishop's pawn to king's bishop 3.

    Because Magnus Carlsen stuck with that opening for most of his games in that tournament, one cannot say that his opponents (except in his first game in that tournament) was caught off guard by that almost forgotten 19th Century opening. Even so, when using that opening in that tournament, his win rate was about 80%, with hardly any draws, and perhaps no losses, or at most one loss. A few games into the tournament, one opponent simply gave him the win by resignation when his own turn came up to figure a refutation to that ancient opening.

    Pre-tournament preparation can obviously make a difference. Magnus Carlsen probably looked up a few historical games of more than 150 years ago from the 1850s and 1860s, did some additional pre-tournament prep work, and decided it might be worthwhile to try out that ancient 19th Century opening in modern 21st Century chess play. Old openings from the 19th Century aren't necessary losing openings in the hands of a world champion chess player, as Mangus Carlsen convincingly proved to his fellow grandmaster players in that tournament.
