How wonderful to see that side of Magnus - I have noticed over the years that many many players when they finish a game just stand and walk away. More often than not Magnus is willing to explain the tactics and do a short analysis of the position with his opponent. Truly a great ambassador for the sport.

This is also because his opponent did a wonderful game. Kaidanov showed respect for Magnus before the game, and did a great job against Magnus's London System at 64 years old. It was a very tied game until minute 12:49. Surely was a very interesting game for Magnus

It's great to see and feel both players respected each other.

Kaidanov asked Magnus if he could keep a copy of Magnus's handwritten scoresheet. So sweet :)

Two copies are made and the player keeps their yellow sheet. I think Kaidanov was offering Carlsen a copy of his sheet but Carlsen declined because there's no need for him to cross-check from Kaidanov's notation. Notice how Kaidanov ends up with 3 sheets - two with his handwriting, and one with Carlsen's.

@@lollycopter no he ended up with 3 sheets because you see him there asking for magnus' pink sheet. you can clearly tell that from the players' interaction as well as how the two sheets of each player were not separated until then, so those two were both of magnus' writing.

Its so nice, that in the end ( 17:06 ) Kaidanov asks for the Magnus' scoresheet, i guess that's a great treasure to have.... this shows how prestigious chess players feel when they play Magnus. (people rarely get his autograph...but now he has 40 moves written by him along with an autograph.)

@lollycopter

No I don't think that's what happened. Each scoresheet has two carbon copies underneath and both players normally collect one yellow and one purple sheet each. In this case, Kaidanov ended up with 3 copies because Magnus declined Kaidanov's purple copy. You can see Magnus pockets his yellow sheet whereas Kaidanov keeps two purples and one yellow.

Agreed respect to Kaidanov. You can see how Mr. Kaidanov is thrilled to be playing Magnus. He himself obviously has a tremendous amount of respect for Magnus.

These end-game discussions are much more worthy if we are able to listen too.

I feel too old for quality chess at 50 and this guy is playing MC at 64. Major respect

Kaidanov is wholesome to watch 🙌

This really did warm my heart. I love that Magnus let him keep the game sheet at the end.

This was one of the best chess games I’ve ever seen. Class act on both sides.

Still fun to watch Kaidanov play.

he mentioned in his interview that he is traveling to Qatar to play Carlsen

It's nice to see the debriefing end with smiles from both sides. Usually chess players gesture, shake their heads with an expression of disgust at the result and stand up at the same time. I was beginning to think this was part of a game among professionals.😂

Awesome commentary budy....its the way you explain things is what makes videos interesting to watch.. Thanks fr tht

I was taught the same, and to make the handshake rather firm, not limp. Also to look the other person in the eye. So many times I have shaken hands with people in my life, it was like grabbing a dead fish. Most of the handshaking I have seen in chess matches, even among the top level players, is nothing more than a meaningless token before the game and a begrudging gesture afterwards.

Hi, I think your idea, to "let the players talk" after the games is really great... unfortunately the audio quality is usually so bad, I can't understand what they are saying. Have you ever considered to use a tool like Steinbergs Spectral Layers with either the "Unmix Vocals" oder "Remove Noise" function to try to clean up the audio? Best Regards!

Very dynamic and positional game, loved it!

Pure class from Kaidanov.

Golden moment. Loved the respect shown between the two. A real gentlemens game.

that's one of the most wholesome chessplayers i've seen, i can say there aren't many.

14:50 Magnus glances up at Kaidanov for the resignation... gets it. Enjoyable game. Good commentating. Thanks

Always great to see them afterwards still deep into the game but it's over. And then they always start analyzing breaking points together :D

As a sixty three year old I approve of Kaidanov’s play.

I played Kaidanov in the mid 1990s, probably at the National Open in Las Vegas. He was rated well above 2600 at the time and I was a little above 2200. I lost.

They are both class acts. After the game the way Magnus tells his elder chess opponent about what he should have done instead is.. to me.. a true sign of changing times and respect. And Kaidanov takes it very well and seems very interested in hearing this information. This was a good match thank you for uploading.

Kaidanov was GM before Magnus was born 🙂

Amazing commentary. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for sharing their actual conversation.. 😊

Its very fun to watch the players analysing the game. They communicate with facial expressions and hand gestures more is more interesting to watch 😂

16:56 the start of the smiling that ends up with the thumbnail at 17:00 (the only reason I watched this video, such a beautiful moment)

Kaidanov is a lovely well-rounded and grounded individual

Can someone asd captions for what are they discussing after the match ?

Wow they respect each other, just beautiful ❤

He asks for Magnus's scoresheet at 17:10 Magnus said yes !!

You watch considerate players like Kaidanov and see why people don’t want to watch players like Neiman.

Gregory Kaidanov lived and worked in the USSR, where he received the title of grandmaster.

What was the time allocation?

Kaidanov has such a nice personality. He is gentle, respectful, calm and he is of course a very strong grand master. Thanks for uploading this video!❤

Where is ding liren?😊

Right at the end 14:53 why not King e8 ?

queria saber o que conversaram, jogadores incríveis

Does magnus had 58minutes on clock? Or I hear wrong?

different generation, thats awesome

Ivanchuk always does too. He won’t shake hands if he’s sitting but his opponent is standing.

Looks like our hero Magnus has analysed the London system really really deep, many moves down the game and he only spent two minutes

Sagar, standing up to shake hands used to be a standard practice showing respect not just in chess but in any greeting. Today the kids have no idea of these traditions

Great game but i wish to see more innovation and creativity from Masters instead of traveling a road thats al ready been paved❤

Gregory played very well. Hard to beat world #1.

The instructor becomes the student after the game.

Everything aside 😂 pls change ur thumbnail I'm seeing u in same pose in last 10 videos 😂

Magnus always makes it look so easy .. sheesh

At the end: its definitively lost because if King e8 theres Bishop d7+ not because of Rook takes pawn followed by King e7; lost anyway after Rook f7+

What are they writing down?

10:15 if magnus see this move, look the horse can check then eat a bishop and another open check for rook then boom massive combo

Amazing Video!

A pawn is usually better towards the centre. But there is huge pressure on the Bishop on c6 which eventually loses material after Ra6 in reply to the move axb6. Very complicated! Even if I couldn't see it all I would realise it is with the pawn you take with.

My favourite london system🙂

Why in the end did Kaidanov ask to keep Magnus copy of the game when he has his own? Is he keeping it as Magnus memorabilia since he signed it?

Both played well. I do not understand that loud noise in the background, just hideous..maybe they had a sandstorm at that moment, makes sense

What exactly do they write in their notes? If it is the history of movements then you guys should have a computer vision app to log those moves for you by now. It is only 16 lines of code and you do not waste time writing.
