    Sick of chess game visuals. Main game in the blindspot. Analysis shit in the entire screen.

    Rapport is psychologically damaged by Magnus, no doubts.

    Ding managed to escape last spot which is an achievement.

    When Magnus is playing a tournament the others are playing for second place 😆

    This is getting sadly boring, would someone please rise and take King Magnus on and rile him up a bit.

    These have got to be the most boring commentators I've seen so far

    King Magnus! All the Magnus haters are having a bad Easter!!

    At around 4:54:00 I think Lawrence takes a while to get the joke, if he ever got it, about draws, even though Giri keeps trolling him.

    This shows Richie cannot handle time pressure. Carlson can easily handle these type of messy position under time pressure which is main reason why Carlson is goat. Not a great player, richie.

    Anish is not the best commentator. Ofcourse he is super smart and intelligent but he gets too stuck at "I would do this, or that" etc. I mean its ok for him to talk like that, just that its not entertaining for us.

    Lawrence is not prepared to be in that spot yet

    Magnus had to WORK to draw Rapport last round. Whew that was tough!

    Somebody should remind Lawrence of his job. He was silent the whole time basically

    Magnus and Hans winning both tournaments?! This is peak entertainment

    sad to see Ding not being able to show anyone why he is the World Champ right now. He just lost all his fire it seems

    and here is Magnus winning one more tournament.

    Just wish Lawrence Trent would stop whining about breaks and his naff comments. 🙄

    Lawrence struggles like the "boom goes the dynamite" guy struggles.

    the chad "open tournament" vs the incel "invite-only"

    Giri doesn't like to see Magnus being complimented by Trent. He's competitive and jealous of Magnus' success. Whenever Trent says something to praise Magnus' abilities, Anish ignores it and instead suggests that they switch to analyzing another ongoing game. It's obvious how he feels.

    Anyone notice the sequence at 2:33:20 where the arbiter (I presume) approaches Hans’ board and gives him the eyes to come with him? Never seen that’s before during play in such a key game. Hans is seen walking back into frame about a minute later looking a bit purturbed. Wonder what that was about?

    Bald guy should stop commentating please

    it's not fun when magnus wins. Nothing against Magnus, it's simply not enjoyable. Same with mayweather, same with tiger woods and federer in their prime. There's no excitement because it's a foregone conclusion. It's certainly not his fault and it's up to the other players to rise to the occasion, but the fact remains it's boring.

    Carlsen is unbelievable. I wish Anish would commentate more often, he's so witty and alive.

    None can beat Magnus. No one is none. He can't be beaten

    Please think about the commentary for next tournament

    Just a word of advice to Lawrence Trent if I may, if you feel hungry or peckish, just schedule with the producers for more breaks. That is all.
