Just in case someone thinks Magnus comes up with those openings on the spot.
No he has a team that uses computers to find out those plays based on what other player played as all past matches are available.
Source: I watched interview with a guy that was hired as a computer scientist consulting gig by Magnus team.
It does not take away how good he is as I don’t think many people could learn to remember weird openings and win from that against grand master level players anyway.
