It's nice. But it's also funny how often the commentators will say a certain move that they say would be a terrible idea and then... players do that move.
Cannot stop listening to the male commentator. Intonation, vocabulary, rythm... All great.

Is carlsen just listening to music, or taking some audio help? Either way, is it allowed?
Interesting match but you have to mute the commentators they keep talking about their collections various items ad nauseam ad infinitum
Please make THE chess board smaller and the hand/mouse screen bigger.
What a commentary! On point and very helpful.
I was waiting before Magnus pushed his passed spend to e3 I was hoping he'd give a check to the king on f3 first then push e3. Point is that black queen occupies the 3rd rank already
Am I missing something? At 28:30 after white plays 30. d4 why can’t black play 30. Qxg3+ 31. Kh1 Rf1+ 32. Rxf1 Rxf1#?

Carlsen has a superior position and a bit of an attack at the point where Nakamura forces those exchanges. Once the rooks come off White's chances of losing in a mating attack go way down and his chances of achieving a draw go way up, that's why White plays Rf2. After the trades Carlsen still had the better position and the best chances to win in the endgame but Nakamura found enough moves to hold the draw. You can tell by how Carlsen continued to look at the game afterwards that he felt like there had to be a win in there for him.

Chess is more about trading pieces, it's about what the trade does for you. Carlsen's rooks were stronger than Hikaru's because they were in prime position to launch a deadly attack on the White King. Trading those rooks relieved the pressure for Hikaru.
39:47 can someone explain me why not black pawn e2? 🙃
@archangelgr1369
Жыл бұрын
Maybe because of: e2 Qe1 Qf3 Kg1 and you are about to lose the e2 pawn cause you got to stop the white passed pawn on a file (a4 is the threat). idk tbh...
black pe2, white qe1, black qf3, then to f1? What am I missing?
Here's a line I saw immediately. Staring with Move 19.. White moves knight to E5.. Carlsen takes with his knight. Move 20 pawn takes knight.. carlsen takes the dark squared bishop with his remaining knight. Move 21 queen takes knight......... I am a fairly novice chess player. If I've missed something please let me know but the anouncers didn't even see or mention this option for white.. which in my opinion puts white in a very strong position. It doubles a pawn but blocks blacks center pawn from advancing further.
finally a game without cut aways at key moments
Magnus grew some extra beard between game 1 and 2
why not pawn to E2 instead of Queen to E4
@25:50 wasnt it better to attack black queen using the pawn?
@FermisAxiom

I think probably magnus would then play Qd5+ and that protects his hanging pawn and white's king will be forced to choose to live on g1 or h3, which isn't exactly checkmate yet but will make his position quite nasty. And then magnus' queen queen can much more easily sneak into black's base along the white square diagonals
Someone can explain me why at 39:48 he didn't move the black pawn forward towards the white queen?
@chocmintsify

I think because Magnus knew that Hikaru wouldn't take the pawn and sacrifice his Queen, that would give Magnus the win. He was always going to place his Queen in front of the pawn to stop it from promoting

The king can help stop it from promoting.

This actually is Nakamura's game. He can't play dubious Blitz chess openings against arguably the greatest player of all time when there is more time on the clock to play sound chess. His fun openings like the Bongcloud and the Hippo are for low stakes streams and would be ruthlessly punished by Carlsen in this format.
38:13 dang Magnus should have moved his Queen to D1…

I would have greatly preferred to have seen, 12:08, Nakamura repeat the castle position to see if the bishop would repeat the trade offer. I prefer to see doubling in situations like this to see if the other party will consider a different approach.
This goes to show we all do mistakes and we forget general principles

Yeah the computer said it was a draw before that move and the top GM's aren't seeing it differently, but some random guy on youtube sees what both the computer and the best GM's missed.
Magnus won the game because Hikaru Nakamura couldn't fight so he made decision to draw.I don't agree this type of draw system.
