FIROUZJA > CARLSEN
Dania is a biased commentator … Only supporting Magnus! It is clearly seen no matter if she is sprinkling something here and there for Alireza Ferouzja!!!
Exited about screaming all the time?
Two boring commentators.
Levy’s bout to milk
They doubted my boy
Daniel is the greatest
magnus fell off
4:38:23 uncontrollable laughter by Tania 🤣🤣🤣
This is by far the best cct final I've ever witnessed. Alireza vs Magnus is without doubts the most exciting match up in this format. Also credits to Daniel and Tania for the amazing commentary.
2:52:18 what was that??
Giving up a point to alireza for no reason.
❤Guccireza
@59:02 Magnus doing the Bazooka Joe Mort impersonation.
Where was Hikaru?
Levy going to have a field day with this 😂
I don't get what’s the point of giving points to the winner if he already qualifies for the final event
Damn, amazing work by both the commentators
@14:24 people have been comparing players to Tal before my grandpa was born
Dana don't want to congratulate alireza or what's the problem ?
No Hikaru tournaments shouldn't even count as a win for either player. MagBUM losing once again, when pushed to the edge.
Alireza when at his best is simply just better than all the super GMs in non classics
Anti-spoiler comment
Edit: don't open the replies to this comment–more spoilers!
Bro cooked Magnus on the last game
That was one heck of an experience. The tension, the commentary, the drama, the genius back and forth, loved it!
Magnus why you looked so tired today 😢
Alireza show the new level of comeback
I am so happy for him dude i am so glad that he is back after that disaster of a candidates
To all Magnus Simps – put the excuses here 👇
Россия 🇷🇺в перед
Cant win em all. Magnus goat
Has won 7 tournaments in a row.
Daniel is a perfect example of men not listening to what women are saying, looking around and completely disregarding what Tania is saying, JK 🙂
Rapid is the most entertaining❤
This format is by far the best chess to watch. Classical chess will never be on tv, but these quicker games certainly could. The wild scramble at the end is unreal.
Is it me or anyone else about female host trying hard to get that accent?
Daniel found moves in seconds that he referred to as unfindable and the players didn't find it.
Daniel is really amazing
Good job for best commentating Tania and Daniel.
As much as i like these 2, and a good majority of the commentators, i how more organized tourneys (i guess events?) adapt less talking than repeats/regurgitation. Some times, complete silence is preferred. It adds intensity. Like golf. Hold your breath. This doesn't have to be like an esports event. Let's relax a bit ya know?
Congrats Alireza! Incredible match and play!
Game four: Danya, those piggies on the second rank of Carlsen’s were as useless as the lipstick they were wearing!
2:23:13 if you want to hear Daniel Naroditsky come as close as he will ever come to swearing..
Alireza is streaky, when he’s on fire he’s OP though
2:22:10 – Oh Magnus!!! Rxf1+ followed by e3 is winning for Black and you would've won easily. How could you missed that??? My goodness! I cannot believe this!! I need to take a chill pill!
NOBODY HAS DONE THIS TO MAGNUS!! ALIREZA IS SPECIAL MAN
"POTANG INA MO WAG KANG MADAYA HA GAGO KA.
2:20:184:19:4011:48
This non-stop bla bla bla from Tania is just too much! Mute button brings relief. Sorry Daniel.
