What a rich vocabulary, felt like I was listening to an audiobook

Yeah noticed that too, felt kinda forced sometimes with all the buzzwords but it was interesting to listen to. The vocab wasn’t exactly obscure but idk cool to see, kinda distracting though

Thanks brother for making such a good playlists to watch and study at once.
thanks Bro I enjoyed this as usual
Nice commentary. You got my subscription. Have a nice day.
I'm fascinated to watch for I learn a lot from your explanations, sir. This is from the Philippines.
informative games thank you
Wow, what a mauling. Giri learned the hard way that the tricky variation he played is blown apart by Magnus’ exchange sac.
Nice commentary, Thanks!
Nice content on the Catalan! Bring more on it from Kramnik.
Thanks
thanks for this very useful coverage of the Catalan! Also good is the inclusion of the PGN !!
Great games. Those endings reminded me Capablanca.
nice videos bro, what´s your elo sammy? love the game analysis btw
Awesome content on Magnus, great job on choice of words and quite entertaining. Subscribed.

He makes the catalan look easy
Catalan is the opening I use

No, 1. Qd8+ 2. Ne8 Qxe8+ Rxe8 and you lose, so you have to drop your queen back, and then you lose your bishop.

In the scenario that Ne8, Qxb8 Qxb8, Rd8 happens, it's followed with Qxd8, Bxd8, and it's just a draw, with barely any winning chances for white due to the weak doubled pawns.@@edenhawk2425
In game 3,I have questions? Black play Qb7, but Magnus ignore that instead playing of Qd8? Magnus play Qd4 ? To support bishop. Instead of checkmate

that's not checkmate because the knight can block and defend, and white would be in a difficult position
im sure youre aware of this and i honestly dont know if there is any way to fix it but the resolution of your cam is much better than the res for the chess board and the names, if youre somehow able to upscale the chess board and the names it would be greatly appreciated as it would make watching on big screens less frustrating for the eyes
Why you so poetic, sammy?

LOL........HE NOT ONLY DOES MAGNUS LOOK LLIKE PENNYWISE .....BUT TALKS LIKE PENNY WISE
Too many sacrifices
Let's be frank, Magnus isn't that good. He's never beaten me at chess before
please mention in the videos or the description that you use generative AI for your videos, btw honestly it feels very painful to hear it.

Come mai sono così bassi i punteggi ELO dei Top a confronto dei 3200/3300 degli emeriti sconosciuti ?
