I'm gonna start watching these recaps because they are concise and brief, you don't have to prove to the people watching that you are a good chess player by going down every possible sideline. you mostly stick to the game that was played and give analysis when needed. Don't change what you are doing because I've stopped watching the other 2 channels because there egos won't let them just stick to the game that was played without all the possibilities that weren't.
Best wishes for 2024 Epic Chess <3 Wonderful recap as always & superb demonstration of an endgame by Magnus. Keep up your great vids. Cheers!
Nothing seems impossible to MAGNUS. Any slip by opponent and magnus is all over him
fantastic comment. Seems like this video is the only one that understands that Magnus needed 25 seconds to understand that two pawn sacrifices would give a won position
Better than anyone else on online TV.
phenomenal calculation speed by Magnus
We like the cupboard setting 😀
Shame we dont have time travel , would love to see magnus go back in time and play peak fischer for the world crown.
He always finds the impossible moves make easy and possible, that's why I love watching his games
great content. keep going… and happy new year everybody
Bro your commentary is legendary for chess.
Do I really have to say it AGAIN. The only reason any of those final lines worked was because of the back rank mate threats. I.E. King vulnerability. So lets ONCE AGAIN look at Magnus' king in comparison. Both kings were castled and protected, but the white king had a breathing hole! And it didn't need it. Black needed a hole to escape the back rank, yet it was white that had it. Now do you understand the significance of that bewildering h pawn move at the opening?
The more I watch chess, the more it seems Magnus is starting the middle game so much earlier than people expect, by going off theory asap?
Great recaps here, good job.
There are two types of opening theory – chess and Carlsen's.
Just curious, are you deliberately not showing any russian players games eg nepo dubov etc ?
3:53 doesn’t Queen f6 work?
Magnus has become some modern Tal , who plays suboptimal moves but still crushes his opponents comfortibily.
Happy New Year. Look forward to another year of your commentary.
"thanos-snap-feminism" what a gigachad
Watched it live and Jan and Peter laughing comments after h3 are hilarious if you know Jan worked with Magnus for the defense against Caruana who is a master of the Petrov.
Lovely commentary. It rivals agadmator. Happy New Year 🎉
Excellent game review and commentary!
Why does the chart at the end show Magnus losing this match to Yang Yi?
Some wise person once said: if you are ever gloomy, consider that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old and you managed to live at the same time as David Bowie and Freddie Mercury. Yes; and I'd add Magnus Carlsen to that group.
Your content is great. I’ve come to love chess as much as I love watching basketball and UFC. My wife thinks it’s weird. 😂
Magnus plays endgames like no one in history. You basically have to beat him in the opening and middle game, if you are equal or worse he will eventually beat you in the endgame 99/100 times.
I really like your style of commentary, thank you for the video!
Jan was like "again he tricked me" :))
Nice analysis but you didn't show much of the commentators being baffled.
That's why he is the goat while the commentators are just that, commentators.
And Leko ain`t any GM, he was almost world champ.
Wow what an epic move that pawn sac😎
What a game indeed, so great to see you cover this one, I didn't get all the details during the game – it went so fast the last moves! Great choice, kudos 🎉
Funnily enough the IM commentator on Norwegian TV Torstein Bae saw the plan right away. Thanks James.
Danke!
The cupboard under the stairs has some appeal
That was pretty ‘Epic’ of Carlsen to realize his opponent had back rank issues with his king taking advantage of that situation Magnus out clevers all his opponents thanks for the game James Happy New Year have a Blessed New Year 2024
I like your jumper
What a nightmare for every player…from move 5 it was a new game
Ding might be world champ, but everyone is still watching Magnus
“Branked” 🤣👏
Thank you! Happy new year!
Magnus never skips Chessday.
🐐
Poor Dubov should have tied if he wasn’t forfeited!
Don't thank us, we're the lazy ones here. Thank you for creating this interesting, fun, and educational content, and doing so without resorting to juvenile silliness and painful click bait.
Wow what a play
Happy new year, Gary 😁
5. h3 has in fact been seen before, for example in the English National League game Houska-Giblin. Similarly 6…Nf6 transposes to a known side-line of the French Attack that usually in turn transposes to a very well-known line of the French Exchange Variation: 1. e4 e6; 2. d4 d5; 3. ed ed; 4. Nf3 Nf6; 5. h3, a favourite of Mariya Muzychuk that has also been played by Hikaru a few times.

I was watching Nepo's old Youtube video of him beating up on Alireza earlier today. He was saying Alireza is out of form, but Nepo has this board vision where he sees every mistake many moves ahead. I don't know how he keeps losing the title.
