He is the best in the world for a reason! I have lost count of how many times people say the other top GMs are "this" close to magnus but never beat or reached his level. He is truly the goat for me alongside kasparov and Bobby fisher.

This is a way better format than the FIDE Championship. Much more exciting to watch, more interesting for the players, novel decision trees generated from shorter time control paired with the playoff format. Glad we have this series. On that note, great production work for the event coverage. Especially with the pub crowd interspersed with the quality commentating, the fun and creative interludes, the graphics -- it all feels more like a sporting event than chess has ever felt. Kudos to the team.

Love the way GM David Howell and GM Robert Hess comment the matches. A lot of common sense. A big like and encouragement to keep doing their work!

Always great to see Magnus further cementing his status as the GOAT. Congrats to Magnus on the win, and congrats to Wesley for a well-fought 2nd

your such an idiot. the only other person who comes close is kasparov. they are both the goats of their time. its the same as trying to compare lebron and michael jordan. you cant because they didnt play against eachother in their primes. but magnus is undoubtedly the goat of the 2010's-present and likely the 2nd best if not the best of all time@@AlbertChang17

3:38:59 You could interpret it as “Both pieces are forked” or “Both pieces are f&$ked”. Either way it would be a fitting end to this tournament!

wesley is classy as always even in defeat (cheers!)

This was my first ever chess tourney and I'm glad it was reccomended to me, I got totally hooked. I do wish producttion would be better about showing the board bigger tho.

Why is the main camera always centred on the players and not the chess board. Can't even see the chess board

Really looking forward to next saison! Amazing work, great success!!

Wtf is that trophy!!! Never seen anything like that as a trophy 😮😮

Congratulations Magnus. First time I follow the tour pretty much live. Thanks for the show.

Is there a place to download the games played in the tournament from the beginning to the last move of the final set?

A great tournament from Wesley! It’s a shame he had to run into Magnus 😂

Ok, so what's the deal with the trophy???

Nice Levy < this interview is interesting !

What a game! congratulations to the GOAT!

People were complaining it was %75 carlsen before the event It turns out they’re right

i wish we could hear what the players say after their match. i know its not a normal thing to hear, but it would be a nice touch. even if they decide to just not say anything (if they know it will be recorded).

igniting the games with great tension and control of nerves that's one great endurance talent of opponent by Magnus.

Great video. Thank you. Magnus has not comparison in History.

They are frightened of playing him. Hes truly the GOAT.

He's at a different level . Very hard nut .Only fabi managed to give some fight. Congrats magnus.

Well, Wesley getting his rook trapped like tht was a 1500 level error. But then, when you have got too many combinations going through your head,& you have 3 minutes left on the clock,against Carlsen,its easy to mke such a mistake

3:47:50 After his win in game 2, Wesley said he was in a bad mood since it was a horrible game, despite him winning. Kaja mentions that here and you can see the disdain in Wesley's face. It's not always all about winning. These guys want the best chess, and it shows.

MAGNUS= 🐐GOAT

Congratulations Magnus!

I would love it if the constant commentating during the games would pause for a few minutes every now and then, just showing the board, so we can just watch chess. It's gets a bit overwhelming and exhausting -- even though it is excellent. I guess there is the mute button. I find it very difficult to do my own analysis with the nonstop commentator analysis. Tnhere have been several times where there is a deep analysis going on on a line when a completely different line has been played minutes ago . Not that alternative variations aren't important, but I could see a better balance here.

congrats wesly and magnus

There was a budget for a real trophy but Danny Rench used almost all of it to nearly overdose on cocaine, so this morning they had to improvise so they sent levy to the flower shop and printed this picture of a trophy. Later Danny, during his cocaine mania came up with a plan to scam back the money he lost nearly overdosing and made an nft of this picture of a trophy.
