The fact they can both find fantastic moves (most of the time) with 3 seconds on the clock is absolute madness.

My thoughts exactly. I would’ve blundered 3x at least 😂

Like I always say.. Nobody ever won a game by resigning.

Magnus 100%:ed Chess and is doing side quests in “New Game+”

I finally beat my friend at a game of chess because of watching videos like yours. It was actually pretty shocking how much I seem to have learned just by watching games of chess.

At 6:51 there was a fork on the rook missed?

Stockfish actually prefers Qg5+, although the fork is in no way bad. After Qg5+, if Nxc5 hadn't been missed Black was pretty much mated. If White plays the fork with Nf8+, Black is actually so bad that giving up the Rook then forcing the Q exchange with Qe3+ after being forked is *better*.

Magnus his reaction says it all, "he gave it to me".

Pretty much thought so he should’ve went for more checks and possible mating moves when he had the Rook along with the knight

your annotations of all those games really help me improve man

Has there ever been a world #1 player as reckless as Magnus?

He is not really reckless, he is trying to avoid boredom...

Chess has become so boring that Magnus has to start game with with an overdose of Masochism so he can then enjoy the uphill battle.

Magnus has a knack of making it awkward for his opponent it seems... but mate in 2 missed! An he had at least 5 seconds to find it 😛

Terrible

I think Dimitri just played a few passive moves and a couple of not so great ones when he had pretty much the game way in his favor. Magnus didn't win it so much as Dimitri lost it or perhaps gave it.

There is nothing more frustrating in chess than being swindled like this. In blitz games, it is amazing how often the better player manages to do this.

0:02 actually you are wrong, that is Carlsens face afer the even much more ludicrous game against Rapport in the 2022 blitz world championship. (and everyone should look this up, best blitz game ever)

I don’t like the Colorado counter gambit, but the Nimzowitsch opening,though not my favourite is not exactly trash. Great swindle by Carlsen. Thanks James.

I learned long ago to NEVER resign because you get to swindle people surprisingly often.

thanks for bring up some exciting stuff

I don't even play Chess, but I find it interesting, and I follow along with the big tournaments. I do the same with Snooker (Keep Going, Ronnie !!) Of all the 'Recap' Chess channels, I find yours to be the most entertaining. Your subtle humor is occasionally hilarious. Best of Luck in your New Endeavor

Lovely game mate!

Magnus´ endgame 🙂

Shows no matter who Magnus Carlsen plays he can claw back the material and win from being owned at the beginning of the game

While I don't disagree that it was a hell of a comeback so to speak.... How does he do it? (Cue Dwight from the office) Answer: because his opponent messed up Not like i could have done better.. I've never played anything but regular chess I can't IMAGINE how the clock affects play.

I agree his opponent threw a winning game in the garbage

Magnus opponent in a fast game, not much time for anyone, and that feeling that you get when you are crushing the world champion. It was too much for him, and throw in the Magnus Effect. Magnus pulled off an unbelievable win. He Earned it

Why doesnt Black plays Nxe5 to keep the structure and then play Qxd7 after Be5?

It's frigging blitz. You don't have oodles of time to calculate every variation.

Nf8 at 6:52 was also winning and missed.

Every opponent playing against Magnus: "Oh no, now the Magnus effect will make me play way below my rating!"😰

Magnus Carlsen: chess prodigy, world champion, endgame goat, openings master, swindler. It is likely that he is being guided by the spirit of Michael Basman.😂😂

6:51 fork Knight to F8 wins the rook.....

i am not in danger, I am danger

The facial expression of the end was pure gold!

0:09 seconds in and within the first sentence you get straight into the first move e4 Nc6, that must be a record James 🙂. Certainly puts Agamator's 2 minute long introductions to shame, but still watching closely to see if you can beat 9 seconds and still have an intro 😆

He sure did played himself

If Magnus won- then you should be starting your video presentation from his side of the board, not his opponents.

If Anon was written instead of Magnus it would have been over much sooner.

Magnus had no business winning this game, I think the pressure of playing (and winning!) against (possibly/likely?) the best ever got to his opponent. Even with low time on the clock missing a mate in two is very unfortunate. Super fun game though!

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Sadly for real because he should’ve won the game

Magnus effect

At 9:18, instead of Qxh1, black could play Rg7+.

Only Magnus is capable of doing something like this

How has he won this one 😆

20 bucks says white needs a new mouse after that game

That was all Kollars, not Magnus

Fork missed at 6:52

great game

I get people from India, speaking about something they know nothing about there was rivers of blood.

Oh yeah

Carlsen "the goat"? Possibly: time will tell. But he can have my vote for "smuggest git" anytime he wants it.

you all respect it, but magnus shouldve resigned 60 moves ago.. its not 'admirable' to tryhard in a lost game. just accept it and go next.

6:51 does white not have a fork for the rook?

at kzread.info/dash/bejne/m5qNk9OpYLOzXbQ.html there is Nf8+ and the rook drops

That's what I always have said about Magnus. He's clearly overrated.

Nice

Do you believe in Jesus, my friend? 🙂

:D

Kolkata has got to retire from chess after this. Embarrassment
