In this position, Nakamura (white) resigned in a winning position against Carlsen (black).
The best move here for white is Rfg3, sacrificing the queen to checkmate black's king, which Nakamura couldn't find.
This is what we know about the Magnus Effect in chess and its impact on the players who are playing against Carlsen. They are unable to find obvious moves for grandmaster level and the result of the game would be satisfactory for Carlsen.

Just a suggestion,
After your game, please don't turn on @Stockfish immediately if you want to improve. As it's important to think and analyze on your own first.
After that you can check the engine's (preferably @Stockfish) suggestions.

Czech grandmaster David Navara revealed he attempted suicide after being indirectly accused of cheating by Vladimir Kramnik.
The baseless allegations caused him severe anxiety, insomnia, and emotional isolation.
Despite filing a complaint to FIDE, he received no support. His story highlights the devastating mental health impact of unsubstantiated accusations in chess.
Read more about that.

Kramnik explicitly advised David Navara to retract his statements, warning of legal consequences if he did not comply.
In X posts Kramnik wrote, "I kindly request that Mr. Navara retracts his statements accusing me of personal attacks, as they are not true, and instead engage in a constructive dialogue."
He further cautioned, "I sincerely hope that we can resolve this matter amicably; however, if the false accusations and defamation continue, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action to protect my reputation."

Here in this position Bluebaum (msb2) played a very tricky move (Nxg3 to capture white's pawn). This move was the only move to hold the draw.
The final round of the Grand Swiss is pure cinema. Firouzja, Keymar, Giri, Niemann and Bluebaum fighting for the top two spots and a ticket to the candidates.
