There’s nothing better than an epic chess video when I’m supposed to be working

Same 😂

The chess gowns would actually be sick. Everyone would look like wizards

Alireza gamed the system to steal Wesley's candidate spot from him and is getting stomped and playing goofy, you love to see it.

"He knew Fabi was not going to fiancetto the rook" 😅

Loud blinking! You are one fine comedian! Jokes and chess: not normally together, but here it's normal. So good!

Epic Chess: Head on over to Ask Jeeves Ask Jeeves: Somebody remembers me!!

The shoes speak for themselves.

Your usual mixture of education and entertainment Good to see Fabi getting in contention, Alireza seems unprepared, he was maybe toobusy making sure he got here and had little time for homework.. Thanks James.

Chess should change the scoring. Give 3 points for a win and 1 for a tie. Winning should be rewarded more.

Hi ! Do you think Magnus will take up the challenge and try to win games with a rook fianchetto? Actually, it really doesn't make any sense. Stupid idea.

Great commentary. Subscribed. Thanks!

thanks a lot appreciate it!

honestly a beautiful game

En passant! must be yelled loudly, while zwischenzug can only be whispered.. Chess is so confusing!

“That’s the extent of quality content you get on Epic Chess!” I’ve only watched 2 minutes so far but you’ve made me laugh a bunch of times! Where did you get that wild image of Magnus with the poufy hair?!?!

Haha there’s a video on KZread of his hair growing lol

I can't believe this developed into a ludicrous pseduo scandal instead of Alireza just being like; "fine bro, hold deez shoes". Then he wrecks barefoot. Imagine the memery 😂

The commentators were all talking about the d5 pawn but of course they could run lines through an engine surprising Fabi did not find it at one point in the interview with Alireza’s father he mentioned Alireza feeling so upset he talked about leaving chess I can imagine the pressure these players feel being in this situation and a lot of the Criticism they face when they have a bad game Thanks for the video James very funny Enjoy your day

I’m kinda surprised he didn’t find it too. It’s not like it was some ridiculous engine line or anything. But in all fairness I never would’ve found it with 100 years on my clock.

Fabi shows his class!

Funny introduction :-).....

"Getting his bits out..." Like Carry On...Chess this. Magnus as Sid James, Fabi as Charles Hawtrey, Nieman as Kenneth Williams, Oh Matron! (ask your parents, Kids!)

7:03 dang Fabi of all people had a "forced en passant" moment 😂

..."preparing to fianchetto the kind" :D

Great analysis. Lovely memes. Jokes are good. Thank you for my daily portion. Regards to the overlords.

Are we not gonna talk about the elephant in the room? Nijat's playing like a 2750 and STILL getting his a-- kicked. 🤦‍♂️

0:23 "If the players start turning up in noisy clothes, we'll be moving to gowns." Open backed hospital gowns would be very helpful in uncovering Neimann-style cheating aids. 3:23 "He needs to start getting his bits out sooner." Also useful for that.

You are so funny!!

Alireza got very low on time, so we see some silly pawn pushes to eat up the moves to 40.

Could it be next time that we see Alireza Flourisher? 😢

Mark my words, Alireza Firouzja will be world chess champion one day.

No idea why anyone is criticizing the arbitrator to stop people from making noise during critical positions while other people are playing. What an asinine position, you can't disturb other players just because you like your shoes

Swishy hair 🤣wtf

Juicy Insights on the latest news on chess with interesting analysis. Better than cottage cheese. - Vladimir " Could it be" Kramnik

Wow gukesh no1

Heres a suggestion that may sound like criticism. But to the extent it does, sorry i dont mean it bad. So here: you got two different types of chess videos - educational or news. If you were Trying for news in this one, you are late, the news about the shoes and the dad and the results of the match were all available, and consumed by chess video watchers, yesterday. And if youre going for educational, then find a theme and put together a couple games to explore that theme, you may even be able to do that for each round of the candidates if your stared at the screen long enough. But in an educational video, the analysis needs to be deeper and the banter about daddy and the shoes - the feruza shoe diaries - doesnt need to be included. So, yes i enjoyed your bideo and i watched it. But by the same measure, it was yesterdays news told without any new insight. A bit flat. Sorry. Honest and mean sometimes sound alike.
