3:12:00 That blouse of Kaja's is just… stunning. Novel yet somehow classical.
Tanya improved a lot, she lowered her high pich voice a little bit and gives the other hosts their apropriate share of commentating .
Ma shaa Alloh. Nodirbek olg'a
Magnus is very considerate to clean up the game when he is through playing.
@octo88 why though?
ππππππππππ
heh
@ 4:37:41 Magnus interview
Really chess is a sports? Or a table game for fun?
ME ME openings
Is Wesley So SO wholeSOme every time? I loved his words about Abdusattorov!
Magnus stared at Levy like he was a 2-move mate puzzle
get you someone that looks at you like Levy looked at Magnus that whole interview:)
Im really liking the lofi chill music yall play during the break
My 900 elo chess feels so retarded watching this shit
A broadcast format unworthy of chess
Amazing commentating. My wife, who understands but dont play much chess, was walking past and got hooked for 2h during last match.
You are making it very entertaning to watch π
Caruana throwing pawns forward in the Armageddon game like Komodo Chess in its best games.
Magnus – qG7
Commentators (GMs) and Chess Engine – MAGNUS BLUNDERS!!!! OMG
Reality and Fabi – MAGNUS IS NOT HUMAN AND IT WAS ACTUALLY A BRILLIANCE!!!! GAME OVER!!!!!
LOL
4:02:32 if anybody noticed, magnus just waited for fabi and even kept the door open for him until he goes inside.. beautiful moment
you speak toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
Levy dressed well to look good infront of his crush magnus.π
1:15:52 Magnus gives up the queen
I cant stand the girl talking
Please stop it with the Harry Potter jokes… They are worse than my pirate and chuck norris jokes.
Magnus no Queen, no problem.
Legendary wrap um commentaire by Danny. Perfectly timed with the music. 4:55:40
There is always a BIG BANGING, every tenish seconds, during the commentary. What the hell is it?
Gotta watch out for those double edged lenses!
She wouldnt let Nodirbek go during that last interview ππ poor guy blushing while spilling his evening plans
Fabi at move 28 in game 3 putting his knight to H3 would have ended the game.
@chess why are you not showing the double board more? We are missing too much like this. You have a perfect view of both chess boards on left and right end. In the middle you have 2 videos showing the players (which doesnβt really add anything). You can use one of those 2 videos to see the commentators. And the other video to show the tactics. This will improve watching the games a lot. Thanks for all what you do!
4:37:41 Levy all tensed up when Magnus walks inπ
very poor quality chess as expected when you play rapid. Engine bar swings up and down all the time π
The 2 chess board format is great for semifinals
People are always hating in the comments. This is great content showing off the best chess players in the world and it will only get better as time goes on.
Every conceivable separation is just God saying hello β€
ΠΠΎΠ΄Π΅ΡΠ±Π΅ΠΊ Π½Π°ΡΠΈ Π³ΠΎΡΠ΄ΠΎΡΡΡπΊπΏπΊπΏπΊπΏβ€β€β€
So is feeling nervous to these matchesβ¦
Love the double board camera on players format. Best possible. 10/10
Levy said he was starstruck =) so happy for him to meet one of his idols
Levy looked about as nervous meeting Magnus as I would be meeting Levyβ¦or Magnus. He still crushed it though.
4:37:45 the moment magnus met the real goat(levy)
"the opening was a dream" for Magnus, who evidently just woke up. gotta love the guy
Brilliant game Magnus and commentary, awesome π―
4:40:04 he states over and over that the game is basically an extension of himself but everyone always wants it to be based in theory instead of instinct and mood.
How many of you came here after watching levy's video? π
Such a fun day of chess! Thanks for the entertainment. Ignore the critics, the silent majority appreciate what y'all are doing
Magnus is transitioning
Fabi is already psychologically damaged by Magnus.
4:42:20 when the popular kid meets the nerdy kid lol
