I think in the press conference Carlsen confirmed he was still "in prep" while using all that time, but he'd forgotten exactly how some of the line went and so was having to reconfirm everything. So everyone was kind of right, kind of wrong on that.

Polgar once said playing Magnus feels like drowning. Magnus plays an obscure line to get to a middle game the computers can't figure out and Nepo cracks again with what looks like an unforced error. In Nepo's defense, when you are trying desperately to stay afloat the pressure Magnus applies forces you to lose your grip. Too bad. Great recap again!!

Even super GMs can benefit from insights produced with the recent incorporation of a neural net in SF's eval. Those engine developers rarely (if at all) get mention or credit, but yet they push frontier forward for everyone.

Didn't see this game before hand, as soon as I saw C5 I got really concerned over the bishop getting trapped (it's happened to me one too many times!). I figured Levy would explain the GM level crazy maneuvers that got black out of it, but I was blindsided by the reveal that it's losing! Was really reminded of when Fischer took a pawn and blundered his bishop. Thanks for the great content!

Magnus really took his time to calculate everything when he had a winning position. Meanwhile, Nepo blitzed out moves in critical moments. Before c5, there was the option to play b4 instead of bxa3, but Nepo just instantly grabbed the pawn. He played c5 with some 50 mins on the clock vs 15 for Magnus!

@Christopher Bradley he lost one time in the candidates (2nd time was the last game where he already was decided winner). I think it's different in WCC because of frustration of having to defend for 6 hours and lose. Nepo is very impulsive and plays impulsive chess, however this match he tried entirely different approach. The best scenario for him was winning before Magnus, this way he wouldn't tilt. But unfortunately he lost and isn't able to keep his cool, I hope this WCC will teach him to improve his psychology, because before 6th game he played almost perfect chess and after 6th game he isn't himself.

I think Nepo has given up already. When I get frustrated at chess or feel helpless I just play moves that I feel is right, and don't think too much about is so I don't get emotionally invested This reminds me of that.

You got to admit the sportsmanship of Nepo. He had a smile on his face when he resigned. If i was on Nepo's place, probably might have left the room and took flight as Gotham said. We need to learn from our mistakes and move ahead. GG

Time flies with your commentary, Levy! Saw the blunder moment live, and what a dramatic moment -- I was watching all the streams for the commentators' reactions. I think Nepo was still on tilt after the first loss, playing so fast. I don't know how well prepared is his team with the psychological aspect of the game, but this is a hard lesson learned. From the Philippines, keep up the excellent work, Levy! :)

I often can’t watch the streams due to work, and no joke, levy’s recap is always the thing I’m looking forward to in the evenings

21:55 Magnus actually said in the press conference that he didn't see that Nepo could play Qe1 to basically force trading queens. Then the knight would've been trapped after f3 so he had to protect it but it also meant that he would lose the b7 pawn.

I loved the video yesterday. Thank you for fixing the fixable errors (youtube please let creators upload corrections to their videos without penalizing the creators with weird watchtime things and double notifications for viewers!) and talking about it in todays recap. Be well Levy. Thank you for keeping engaging chess content a major part of my daily life for the past... what is it? few years now? It has been an unspeakable joy.

The way you presented the situation on both boards and in the tournament overall was pretty exciting and despite the fact that I usually watch your videos just for the exciting delivery of the result, I am certain that from the Magnus Disaster video I'll remember a lot for a long time.

“He saw rook a4, and he did like it” Simply the best sentence ever...

I feel what Magnus did dragging Nepo into the depths of hell in that game 6 classic where he slowly tortured him to death really psychologically broke Nepo even though he maybe thought he could shrug it off. He was playing so accurately before this and since then despite still playing fast a lot of his speedy aggression since then has felt like a bit of a bluff, then the blunders on top of this.. just brutal.

I watch the game live, listen to all the commentary, and the multiple recaps. So I can attest Levy gives the best summation. He has the right balance of deep line analysis compiled from the many sources I spend hours listening to, delivered in an energetic, entertaining teaching manner catering to the 1200 level (which is most of us); even his off tangents comments are perfectly balanced with pedagogical effect, (his fast talking allows the quick interjections that don't distract from the main teaching material). As a former teacher myself, I give Levy an A+ both for content and, of course, who gives better effort than Levy? We certainly can count on him. I jumped in his live this morning before he did this recap, admitting to us that he didn't do it yet. But I knew with high confidence that it would be here, as sure as the sun is expected to rise in the morning! With much gratitude, I salute you! Belated happy birthday. May you live long and prosper.

Levy: “White can’t play e4 because white would just hang the knight” Me: Yeah impossible nobody would just hang a piece at this level Me literally 10 moves later: 👁👄👁 On a serious note I hope nepo can get a win.

14:15 b4 was literally the first option by Vladimir Kramnik that he proposed 3 second in. That's just shows the class of the man.

Shout out to Levy for owning up to a mistake he made. I don't personally see it as *that* big of a deal, but takes a lot of self discipline to publicly admit fault when you feel it necessary. Love the vids man

Great coverage, Levy. I love the flourish you give to your commentary.

The end of this video is exactly why I enjoy watching GothamChess. Levy always keeps it real.

As soon as these games end I keep my sub box refreshing because I know you'll deliver. Mad respec my man.

The press conference literally just ended and this is already posted… wow.

That's why i love this guy

Hola! Gracias por el video! Soy de los que trata de seguir el campeonato desde distintas plataformas pero de igual manera veo completo tus recaps. Solo una sugerencia, podrías esperar la conferencia para tomar nota de la apreciaciones de los jugadores. Por ejemplo, Ian dijo que no se dio cuenta que c5 fue un error hasta que Calsen jugó c6. Gracias por todo el esfuerzo y dedicación!!!

Magnus’ play reminded me of the opening dialogue from John Steakley’s Armor: “You are what you do when it counts.” Aptly, the main character calls his alter ego “The Engine.” Congrats to Magnus and thanks GC for the commentary.

Magnus and Ian both saw b4 and Magnus even stated, that the best reply after Nx Rb1 would be b6. I think this was after the game or in the PC.

I appreciate when you can't tell how the game went, not even little hints, keeps the mystery. Thanks! No spoilers is best!

well, i watched your game-review yesterday (knowing there's a day off in the WC) and didn't even realize you where showing us a game you already reviewed.. still enjoyed it! ;)

these recaps are the absolute highlight of my day. sitting down with some solid food you can eat a lot of only using a spoon and there we go.

21:43 Correction here: Magnus has to play h5 so that th night can go back to h6 after f3, otherwise the night will be trapped, so h5 is pretty much forced. He said after the match that he missed Qe1 by Nepo as it blunders the b7 pawn.

To quote Magnus, "Absurd." *E* Actually, I really love the explanation of C5. Can't defend the pawn, can't threaten something bigger than a pawn, so just push? But it loses. Makes me think C5 is a move I might have played.

Love how rb1 has been reduced over the months to a quick harmonic tone without breaking the cadence of the sentence, rather than fully breaking out into song every time.

I gotta say, Gotham. Ive been lurking and watching your stuff for a few years now. You are a great entertainer and I have learned a lot. Keep up the good content.

6:18 I guess I wouldn't recognize Levy is I meet him face to face without him wearing the glasses

Imagine waiting after watching the full game live for your recap... That's me.

I'm glad to see Gotham be humble about shit when he makes mistakes. Good on him

Thank you Levy for keeping this totally unexpected turn of events till the very end. I was SHOKED when you said that c5 is loosing for Jan. Even got chills. Thank you !)

Ian

The questions in the post game press conference were brutal, it looked like Ian wanted to disappear.

Gotham, You have helped me get my boss into chess. We have been watching your videos to help keep track of the world championship and helping us learn the game. Appreciate you!

I did not see the match and this recap is awesome, God blessing to you Levy 👍🏻

You are awesome! Discovered you after game 6, now I can't stop watching! You did clickbait me yesterday, but I could tell from the thumbnail that it wasn't a current game! I wish I understood chess better, your summary videos have really got me excited about learning more, you make it seem so much more accessible! PS I wanted Ian to move B3 but I thought it was en-passant, so I'll have to have another look at that rule!

For what it’s worth I really did enjoy the recap of Magnus’ old game. I thought it was very smartly done showing it alongside a simultaneously playing game.

One good thing, Ian Nepomniachtchi doesn't need to worry about results anymore. He can go all in and maybe get a brilliant victory later at the cost of losing more games

I think he was already in that state , I think that's what underlied this blunder , he's taken pressure off of himself to the degree of not spending time analysing positions, maybe he could pull off such a win still though

It won’t happen, sadly. Magnus is keen for a clean sweep. Nepo is only gonna hurt himself more.

i remember you having 1xx viewers on twitch and watching you. how far you have come :D great analysis, very fun to watch! I probably wouldn't be here or been there back then if not for agadmator, and now you've overtook him^^

I watched the whole game(or atleast tried to) then 30 minutes earlier i looked at your channel to see if the review has been uploaded because i did not understand what happened in the game and you explained it to me and now i feel big brain. Thank you levy.
