Because he keeps calling Carlsens H4 opening the "plow" opening, while the rest of the chess community calls it THE BOOMERANG OPENING, which is the correct and preferred name. If he starts using the correct term his follower count will explode.

Don’t let people put you down for wanting more analytic games and less humor. Honestly , your humor allows my feeble mind to understand what’s happening better. If these guys who don’t want humor want a professional analysis of the game, they can watch the game on mute (so they remain subscribers cuz u rock)

I'm not used to seeing such a stunning lack of confidence in an Epic Chess thumbnail. What's up with the question mark at the end of "Game of the Year?" Replace that question mark with two.. NO-- THREE exclamation points. Then follow it up with the B-word in all caps (underlined). It doesn't matter. All is forgiven because you finally used the word swashbuckling again. That actually got you out of your next few jams. Well done. This video had it all, actually. My favorite part was Kramnick's cameo.

At the end Magnus could have played Qb7? If pawn promote then Bf3+ forcing knight takes Nxf3, then Qf3#. Alternate: Qb7 the Qxd5 followed by Qxd5+ Kg3 Qxd2. There is an escape for black with Qf5, but with time crunch, who knows what would have happened.

carlsen is passing his crisis now!!..because it isnt enough to win with good moves only. you have to test opponent with aggressive losing moves in order to win!!

Title’s about Magnus, 99% of the comments are about Magnus, while that’s an amazing game by Alireza. Don’t understand you people. Giving up a piece to Magnus even with a 3 pawns compensation? That’s crazy. And the rest of the game is crazier.

one of the most attacking game from Alireza i ever seen, for me is he favorite to win the candidate 2024
