I'm saying it's one of the better commentaries because it's not like the ones trying to flaunt their understanding, but instead explaining it like the audience are students that aren't incredibly advanced.

Love the blitz commentary, it's more interesting than bullet, we get to appreciate the positions longer. Keep up the good work man, your commentary and indsight is priceless ! Thanks for what you are doing !

Yes! Jerry and Magnus is a good mix.

With no disrespect to Gotham Chess, whose colorful approach I like, or Magnus himself, whose intuition is so natural he doesn't say enough, Chess Network is my commentator of choice.

When I double pawns its "bad" structure but when Magnus does it its "unusual"

I love these carlsens titled tuesdays videos and even though they last 1h+ it passes very fast because every game is interesing in many respects.

The rapid format of the analysis i also find helps build up a sort of imtuition as oposed to the slower format analyses of yours that build up understanding. Would love to see more of these.

Thank you, Jerry. When you call Magnus's games on Titled Tuesday that's one of my favorites.

That draw agreement put Magnus in first place; he had been tied with Hikaru for first.

Watching your live commentary videos feels like coming home after a hard day of work. Thank you so much for your time, energy and mood. Oh, and: Merry Christmas, Jerry.

Thanks Jerry! So in taking that final draw so quickly with Hikaru not yet finished and holding the Buchholz tie-break edge, didn't Magnus risk losing 1st if Hikaru won his last game? If so, why on earth would he bail on that last game so fast?

40:08 Magnus is winning while only having moved knights and pawns

How does one watch titled Tuesday matches?

Always happy to see these kind of videos

The best commentator and the best chess player. What a treat :)

Never seen Jerry and Magnus in the same room 👀

Did Bortnyk draw his way out of the winner's circle?! Lost tiebreak to Kovalev? What was the calculation there?

Hey jerry. Been your fan for over 8 years. 1st game 1st move Bh3 was not a mouse slip. Magnuss does that often. Trolls opponents and also it guards g4 which is usually guarfed by h3 pawn. And as you can tell he prepared the line so after light square bishop trade there is misplaced blacks queen creating complications with some juicy forks.

I love your channel! But, I can hear you clicking your mouse.

I wonder if any of Carlsen’s crazy blitz openings standup enough under sober analysis to offer entirely new Classical openings. Damn that boy is good though! And did I hear you mention somewhere in there that he’s a masterful endgame player as well, Jerry? Better still!

Hey nice vid

thank you

Nihal Sarin should know by now that Carlsen plays unusual opening moves. That premove of ...e5?? was simply way too much confidence in his own guess work.

@liamweinberg4902

5 ай бұрын

It didn't even look like such an unusual move to play. It gained a tempo on the knight and gained space. Maybe it wasn't one of the main lines, but I think that will be the last time he premoves like that again 😅

Hi, Jerry

Is it just me who gets slightly annoyed by this superfluous bright white notation box? Anyone else? The way I deal with this is to (1) hang a piece of cloth over it or (2) let the video quality bar opened over it. That soothes me. 😌

For most of the video it's actually a Standings box. (He had it set to notation in the beginning, but then he changed it after the first game and never changed it back.) Personally I prefer a notation box: I like to be able to refer to the game score to remind myself how the position arose. The Standings, to me, are of less interest during the game itself.

​@@SaintD382 Thank you both for the replies, thanks for the likes as well. I covered the bar so fast that I didn’t notice the change he made until I came back the next day for watching more. Anyway, it’s a recurring annoyance, it’s not just this video. But I will agree with you that some viewers might like the “whatever” bar for their own reasons, different watching experiences, of course. As long as they are relevant, like the standings one, I wouldn’t rip them off, just turn them dark. You could even have multiple bars, I wouldn’t mind it. And I could improve my argument actually, forget the selfish silly one from previously. Think about the energy being wasted to turn those pixels on in 22000 devices for an entire hour, 22000 notebook-hours of bright white pixels for nothing. Doesn’t it sounds wasteful? I’m pretty sure if someone bothered to do the math it would amount to some significant figure. I mean, in a world thirsty for energy, it could contribute a bit. I suspect Jerry could actually set the equivalent of his whole household carbon-footprint off by just tuning his streams settings properly, optimally, it’s a privileged position, he would be saving through other peoples bills world-wide, which is arguably the best way to save because (1) it requires no lifestyle changes at all, (2) it has an immediate effect everywhere, (3) he doesn’t have to ask for anyone’s permission. Am I going to far here? Anyone following? What you guys think, please let me know, and sorry for the big text, it kept getting interesting and interesting, I couldn’t stop the flow, sorry.
