Haha thanks alex!

Only recently seen your videos. One thing I like is that when doing alternate lines you highlight the board in a brighter white so it's distinctive. That helps following everything well. Nice one.

Yeah. Magnus is not only gambling in chess, but he change the opening and gameplay different from engine, he don't care about the result. He is legit The Greatest

haha true

That was a mess by White he copped a plea on so many moves that he played defensively when he could’ve stayed on the offense he played a Great Game and could’ve won if he just put more effort into it he had opportunities to trade Queens at the end with a surplus of pawns and checks that he did not even attempt which can lead to other better results really amateurish play from him which is a shame considering he had the better position and up on pieces pawns even Thanks James I always find it more interesting when Magnus loses because I know what an effort it will take from someone to beat him Have a good day

no, mate, his surname sounds and must be pronounced as, literally, Shit-co
