How is this even possible 😀 i can t get 10 wins in a row even vs 500 less rated opponents.
Love the way Christian gives the quick recaps- quick move by move overview with the opening ideas/ main theoretical ideas both sides. Clear, concise, quick.
I think that Yasser's mug should be a Pot of Greed one.
4:32:55 for magnus's celebration at getting 9/9
Love that reaction from him after winning Lupulescu.
He looks at the crowd and raises his arms
Are you not entertained?
Legendary Cruijff on the analysis
Incredible games by Magnus
Chess should be named MAGNUS what a Legend
Magnus is the GOAT for a reason
Wow…… what a historical day ❤🎉🎉
Cell when he sees Magnus result: " Oh sh!t"
Amazing performance and result from Magnus!! 9/9 😮♟
Magnus is 20% genius, 80% hair. Lol
"I think, I never won all games in one day" … Lol he won all games on Tuesday 11/11 hahaha
It's so crazy when you think about it. All the other players are so insanely strong.. And then there is Magnus, playing in a complete different league…
Is Miroshnychenko Seirawen's toy boy?
Magnus the blitz specialist lol. Washed up in only format that matters aka classical at 32 lol. Put Karpov in blitz and see what happens.
Can you guys please add the bar as well it's easier for us to understand the position with that
Magnus is HIM 👑
Chess God
Insane
MAAAAAGNUUUUUUUS!
Insane performance by Magnus
TRUE CHAMPION
Really no point watching the rest of the match its over already!
The only chess person that can beat magnus in this format is Hikaru and he isnt here. Magnus is just way too strong in blitz alireza suppose to be super strong but i just dont see it!
4:23:05 Magnus beyond happy
Magnus played so well. 9/9 today and earlier this tuesday he scored 11/11 in TT. I was waiting for hikaru video on this achievement for so long, but didnt see any on it, otherwise he will use magnus thumbnails on all of his videos.
The f**king Madman!
Magnus is simply the best in blitz without any doubt
magnus is the GOAT for a reason . winning 11 in a row at this level is just ridiculous !
🐐
Perfect result speaks for itself.
Magnus wins forever all others and so called prodigies participate.
ABSOLUTE LEGEND MAGNUS CARLSEN👏🍻
2:21:30 did Yasser really say "the 17 year old female Gukesh" ?? 😂
I find it curious how the analysis board is constantly 5-7 seconds late at showing the moves in post-game-analysis, for instance the analysis starting at 3:28:11. It's as if the analysis board gets it's moves from one of those terrible serial-port-connected physical boards that tries to capture moves of realtime gameplay, and it's some poor guy's job to move pieces according to what they're saying on stream…😂
another level.
what an insane run by Magnus Carlsen.. wow!
Nepo has the worst style ever
Take away chess engines from the commentators lets see how it goes
Kinda feel for Caruana after that first match. Him thinking it`s a draw not knowing that Magnus is in for the squeeze
Magnus is still the best whenever he wants to. The question is, how often does he want and how much … by the way blitz is a completely different discipline than classical. He's best in both though.
How is Alireza fealing about M*slims invading France?
41:06 Carlsen beating himself
Magnus proving he is the best for over a decade. Ding hiding under a rock after barely playing any games as the paper champion.
If more Blacks ever got into competitive chess, I think that they would dominate just like they do in everything else they get into.
😱😱 GOAT
11/11 then 9/9 GOAT
magnus a freak bro
