Great content! Also, gotta love the commentator, so passionately commentating, keeping up the excitment while also doing analyses of positions, well done sir👏

Great video! One thing that would be nice is to see the clock if possible :)

Brilliant. I’m talking about the commentary. Loved it !

I stopped at the 1:37 mark just to appreciate the flow that this commentator has regardless of the players being like 3 moves ahead

Love your posts! A very exiting game.

if only all chess commentary was both passionate, and informative. Chess is much better to watch when its rapid/blitz than classical. Its also much more fun to play, I can see why Magnus doesn't want to play the WCC any more, we all know he's the best.

Jajajajaja yeah

Commentary is just amazing. Chess has never been so exciting!

Sagar Shah's commentry makes this already interesting match further more exhilarating.

After every match, when the opponents says something, Magnus makes a “What are you talking about?” face. It’s so funny.

Folks this is not live commentating, it was done AFTER the game was played, and the board put up. That makes the commentary after the fact extraordinarily easy because he is not forecasting the moves but reviewing what happened hours earlier.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a commentary like this…ppl around me thought I’m watching F1 😂

Sagar shah is a man of multiple talents Ca , IM , contributing towards Indian Chess, great commentary.

"A handshake!!" I like the entusiasm of the commentator already from the start. 🙂

Английская речь индийского комментатора, да ещё с такой страстью! Это восхитительно!🎉

If Ian had studied QvR in more detail he could have mounted a much more stubborn defense. He needed to keep his rook distant from his king until he had a chance to get his king off the back rank. I think in many cases this ending is drawable in blitz despite being a theoretical win.

@Youtube_Stole_My_Handle_Too

10 ай бұрын

Maybe against a player clueless about the principles of Q vs R, but this doesn't include Magnus. To Magnus, this is a trivial win where the "hardest" move order to find under time pressure is losing a tempo by triangulation. A technique every chess player has learned from pawn end games.

It is going to be a checkster by the rook, that would be a draw result

love this commentary, usually all the commentators are boring and i want to fall asleep. this keeps me awake though!

clock please

Look at Magnus' face when Ian resigns.. and he starts talking his usual way..: "You hotel rook indian hungry? Silvester Stallone goal spiderman Tracy Spencer". Magnus: "Eh??"

0:18 Are they taking to each other behind their hands here? Is that why Magnus always covers his face like that when adjusting his pieces?! Is he shit talking the other player before every game? 😂

He played agressive, but very fair game. When it was queen vs rook, result was pretty much clear. Every GM knows the techinique how to win it quite well. I had a feeling that having e-pawn too did not help white at all. Nepo tried to keep it and it meant his rook was very limited in its moves.Rook had to stay on e-file and it made black easier to push white king to the edge and then to the h8 corner, where checkmate was inevitable . Nice endgame and well converted. For amateurs queen vs rook is one of the hardest endgames and I once even had to trade my queen to the opponent rook, because I did not get rid of the rook in some 25 moves and I was running out of time faster than my opponent.

Magnus's physique is really appreciable.
