The difference between Jan and Robert H is a library curator vs a basketball play by play caller.
Seems being beaten early woke up the monster in Magnus lol
Who beat magnus carlsen??
Anyone has timestamps for magnus games?
Magnus for the W and halfway through the W game they switch to the womens. Bunch of nonsense woke ass commercials too. They lost a viewer
Magnus is the GOAT and it's starting to not even be close
Leko was the only good thing in this coverage.
Honestly, sometimes it's quite frustrating when we have for example Carlsen playing Erigaisi and you show the Women's section. Get couple more commentators to cover properly the Women's stream. It is after all a World Cup not some Mickey Mouse event. You want to be serious sport, right ? You can't deprive the fans of such games just to show the women's section once in a while
Why's Hikaru not in this?
Commentary today felt a bit disjointed and out of sync. Great event otherwise
King Magnus!
What's even the point of a blitz tournament screening with a live board when it practically doesn't work
Anyway Carlsen still didn't beat me I'm the real GOAT
GoAT just doing GOAT thing

Congratulations Magnus and Gunina
still didn't know the name of the music played in 1:35
"live" board. Yeah yeah, better use a ouija board to communicate us the current position, would be even more reliable.
Goat 🐐 Carlsen casually winning another world title
Thanks for great coverage. Happy ending🎉
Who is leading?
Leko the Legend
1:57:12 Levon hangs piece in 1 move. Vlad looks up at him. Down at the board. Takes piece. Looks up again and shakes hands lol.
Magnus lost only 1 game and remained #1 blitz
Ggs to the GOAT Magnus Carlsen on winning both events again!!!
women chess is a joke
the sound is incredible!! I want that track.
Is Gustafsson the best dad on chess streams? Love you man. Thank You.
Last round pairing: Lev Aronian vs Paper Bag
Svidler is not 58 but 47
Magnus super chess no one else to fight us all
What a joke in the commentary! Magnus is playing at the top board and a bunch of other highest-rated players are on other boards, yet these two dumb commentators decide to focus on two women playing lower-level chess. What is wrong with you both????????
Knight maneuver experts 😅
I think it would be helpful if there was another stream where every game is labelled as Hikaru vs Magnus no matter who is playing. Pick a couple Americans to do the commentary. I think it would remove 90% of the annoying comments 😂
Curious how women never chat after the match is over seemingly
Whyyy show the women. Pathetic… if the fans want to see them set up a separate stream that only show the women. If fans don’t want to see them and are not interested, then don’t show the women.
Congratulations Magnus Carlsen on becoming the 2023 Rapid and Blitz World Champion 👑 The level of performance is beyond anything that has been known and the ability to face adversity with perfect composure is inspiring and touching. All the best for the # 1 of Chess in the future. Thank you.
Gustafson voice is horrible.
Leko is THE best commentator out there. Simply the best.
So good to see Jan🤩
Leko <3
Let's all appreciate what's happening at 2:22:30, Magnus VS Yu. I can only admire the broadcast direction choices. Most of the screen dedicated to the live camera, zoomed out to make sure we cannot follow the action on the board. But do not worry, the broadcast director's got your back: with what's left of the screen, he's dedicating a good 60% to the commentator's faces and make sure the live board and the brilliant analyses from Leko are barely visible.
You'd think this is a temporary layout. No, the director indulges us with his vision for 5 minutes… 5 whole minutes, roughly the extent of a blitz game.
Get your sh* together please, this is the world chess rapid and blitz championship, you're exhausting everyone, commentators and viewers alike.
Why are we watching women’s chess on some rounds the entire time? Like we need separate feeds for men’s and women. Something. This is killing your viewership.
Kosteniuk vs. Koneru was pathetic.
The women's section was definitely exciting but its coverage spoiled that of the Open.
It needs it own stream.
Gustaffson is the worst commentator ever. always occupied with his kids, disinterested, bored and boring. ALL while Peter tries to keep his eyes on chess. NO Gustaffson anymore please.
shameful. coudlnt even get the live board in sync with the live video feed. the whole time it was torture for both the commentators and viewers.
Nepo's reaction to Ng5 followed by Dubov telling Nepo "idk" without saying anything was the cutest thing I've seen in all of chess.
Edit: And Ivan you are a disgrace to chess there was nothing malicious with what they did, you cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt that they prearranged it and the players are allowed to do whatever move they like as long as it is legal. The federation cannot dictate the choice of opening as that is far more dangerous than an alleged prearranged match between two individuals
This is the first time I follow the feeds and commentary. But compared to first 4 days, todays commentator guest is somehow not so sharp and respectful, he doesn’t even listen to Leko, just interrupting while saying nothing
1:48:00
Dubov undefeated
