I feel Mags pawns are very strong and pushing to become a new queen, wonder if theres statistics around it to see who got the biggest pawn threats

I notice Magnus always trying to get a passed pawn I think he said Rapport in the last game should’ve tried pushing his pawn which he didn’t instead got stuck with no way to finish up the mating net

He wants to push it until it becomes a baby girl!
Kc1 is essential. If Magnus plays f5 instead there is the possibility of a perpetual starting with Qg5+. The king cannot escape to the Q side. Magnus as usual spots the trick
If it left the chess world speechless, why is Epic talking about it?

This is why magnus is the goat. He can continue to apply pressure and get out of it. Finding the best moves and even when he mistakes unfortunately his opponents miss the best moves. The guy is arguably the best chess player of all time.
End-game grind from the end-game GOAT.
Thank you for the video.

Anish felt Rapport had a good shot at checkmating Magnus but time pressure and just pressure in general got to him
It would be great to post URLs for PGNs with videos. Is there a reason why chess streamers do not do that? It would be great to play with certain positions, without doing the set-up. For example, when you said that the queen had no squares to go to (6m15s), why not g3...? There were a couple of other positions I had questions about, as well. Love your shows - thank you!

Sometimes it is a bit above me (puzzles/tactics engines say 1200, but I'm more like a 900 when I play against humans... and I don't do either often, so I am not good at tracking speed)... but your presentations are very pleasant, and I am learning from them. Thanks, again!
Great game, great presentation. Agreed on L Trent.
Lawrence Trent caught some strays 😂
6:14 You say the queen is 'checkmated', but isn't Qg3 available? Not that Nf3+ follow up isn't truly awful for white to deal with, but thats still a bit different than immediately dropping the Queen, correct?
@epicchess2021
Ай бұрын
Sorry yes mistake but then even better is ne4+! Wins queen
def hands up !!!!!
6:10 why is the queen checkmated? Can’t it go to g3? Or you can block with the knight on E6 temporarily and then retreat along the dark squares? Second idea is probably still losing tho

Sorry yeah there’s a fork I should have gone deeper
In a blitz it's not fair to say "for some reason he did that"...player is hastily making real time read for audience and in lot of ways for benefit of game's humanity.
Turn that pawn into a baby girl by smashing the like button!!
Thank you
Wow, complex game. It seems to be a bit of a pattern that Rapport does so well in the opening and middle game with attacking ideas, but makes an error that means he can't quite follow through.
Wow..to go that deep though.wonder what kinda rating ud need to start seeing these kinda traps&tricks..I'm Killin it at 500 and it's deep even for me😢
Nc3 is not the Winawer, it’s only the Winawer after Bb4. Nc3 is the Paulsen

Ah thank you!
Hey, thanks for analysing some possible lines after …g5! Other coverage so far has been less than convincing. What a rich and complex position. :) At first glance, the pawn duo looks fairly wonky and attackable once White 'consolidates' … but where does his king hide in order to achieve this? And what a pity Black pushed forward on the very next move, offering Carlsen the type of positional weakness which has become his staple diet over the years. Nom nom. In short? Areally beautiful game which could've been just a little better.
Lawrence Trent is a super IM and the people's champion.

Was the chess world really speechless? I mean, he's been the best player in the world for a long time now. I don't see any of the great moves he finds until long afterwards, and often have to have them explained to me anyway, but he finds so many (and so often too) that I've largely come to expect them from him, rather than being left speechless. Is the world of football speechless when Messi curls another rocket around a defensive wall? Was the cricket world left speechless when Warne turned another ball a foot or so out of the rough and into the stumps? Magnus is a great player, possibly the GOAT but certainly right up there on the all-time-great list. I'm closer to being speechless when he blunders in some way.
I figured out the final move at 12:19.

Another banger. I'm not a cat person. I don't even like cat people. I don't like cats either. Cats suck. Fight me if you disagree (not aimed at Epic Chess-- I'm directing this particular sentence to the rest of you buttheads). Anyway, Magnus is like a cat, toying with an animal it can kill at will (e.g. a small lizard, or maybe a flightless bird or something). All he has to do is stop toying around and slap the life out of the hopeless competition whenever some kind of it's-time-to-snuff-this-clown-out-of-existence switch flips in his mind. I'm thinking that happens when he starts to get bored. Either that, or his goal is to set up the stupidest possible opening position, mostly based on what his opponent does (I don't mean "opening" in the traditional chess sense, obviously). Once he determines that he couldn't have given his opponent a more advantageous head start if he tried (or, tried harder-- he did try, after all), that's when Magnus decides to clown him. tl;dr Magnus is awesome and I'd suck-- Hey. Gotta go. I'm not gay. I was just kidding. That was a joke. I didn't mean it. I said that to be funny. I wouldn't really
