    FFS everywhere I bloody go I hear either Tania, Danny, Robert, Gotham or this boy Daniel. What the heck happened to chess commentary? Danny & Magnus ruined online chess commentary. Jesus Christ.. always waiting for bloody recap vids because of the shitty commentary. May the Lord help us all.

    " now it's time for Magnus to collect his harvest.." That commentary! Lolz.

    lol Hikaru trying to not blush at the start cracked me up.

    Danya commenting so fast he says the move before they're even on the board

    Why Hikaru took the knight instead of Queen…
    Edit : get it, there was a check talking his Queen on next move

    I feel safe because there is a large eye ball in my wall, it appeared last night and then disappeared…. I feel safe

    chess ona gaming chair actually evolving into an esport that can be played physically irl

    can someone explain why magnus has more time on his clock?

    Dayuuuum Girl. My heart beat was quite high, just because Danya made some wooden toys seem like real fight.

    it feels like that i am watching a football match. Nice work Danya 👍🏼

    it seems like kirk vs spock for some reason

    what a strangely terrible broadcast .. put the GAME BOARD up (bigger!). And does Naroditsky have to talk soooo much?? Geeez.

    Anyone else coming here from the Man city interview?

    Hikaru has one kryptonite, and its Magnus. As joyful as Hikaru seems at times he always looks annoyed with Magnus and his body language towards him is always almost uncomfortable for even me to see. It comical at this point to have Magnus troll the way he does. This commentary is GREAT as well! I need more chess in my life

    Can someone explain me why they look so similar on the cover, they’ re literally lost brothers

    such an interesting game…was soooo boring for the first 10mins…then became crazy interesting

    Magnus putting back Hikaru pieces..troll continues

    Once the queenside and center was clarified/locked, Carlsen's positional and time pressure led to Hikaru to commit his g-pawn which spelled the game since it weakened his kingside dark squares. Brilliant patience, poise, and vision, by the GOAT.

    That's why the decent player is just, you know, decent.

    incredible how many top engine moves magnus did, hikaru was essentially playing against stockfish, i think this damiano opening is not good choice because magnus obviously knows stockfish rutine from start to finish.

    wait, does hikaru really forget about his knight can take away carlsen's queen? wut? its around 07:18

    Why am I always with Magnus on this rivalry?😂 Sorry Hikaru there can only be one King

    Oh, NOW you show it? A little late, don't you think?

    There is a moment i think hikaru should capture magnus's queen instead of taking the knight with his pawn even if magnus would have given a royal fork with his knight but after hikaru would moving the king and loose his queen he could recapture the knight with his rook and he would have win a knight😢.

    In a alternate universe Hikaru bet 14mins 59 secs

    Magnus is my favorite but what about covering guys like Wesley So

    Hikaru is such a baby shaking his head that much Lmfao

    Да, без читов Наке трудно с Магнусом

    Hikaru: no problem beating 50 people in a row.
    Also Hikaru: Loses catastrophically to Magnus.
    Interesting…
    😀
