Definitely missed the advantage bars and who was on which color in the upper right

Complacency is the bane of the master.

Can we just all agree magnus is a 3000 and move everyone else where they need to be for that to make sense?

@14:38 "Spawn a new queen on G8, A new uncle Bob for team black, fresh up from the basement, ethanol on the breath". Haha, but oddly specific :)  - Love the commentary!

The conciseness, clarity and folksiness of your scripts are very much appreciated

Thanks SQ1 !!! When it comes to chess you are the larynx of logic, the voice of vision, the mouth of moves, the tongue of tactics, and the epiglottis of epic battles!

I’m a 2200 player in rapid and this morning I lost 4 games in a row and dropped 98 elo. Magnus has bad days; the difference is that even on his bad days, he usually wins. when I have a good day, I lose half of the games I play, lol. I’m positive he’ll bounce back and lock in

He plays non book openings...which gives him a disadvantage from the start.. normal chess is boring so he trying 2 make it more interesting  by playing not best move. But more of a puzzle.      5% health bar instead of 100%

There's no meltdown anywhere.

I also waited with baited breath. I'm a master baiter.

I always enjoy your commentary. This is your real talent. I love the way your mind works. Keep up the good work!!

17:05 this is the best format for me, from the beginning of the game, and development.

it may work for others, but with so many side situations covered that were not played, I often get lost. :face-fuchsia-wide-eyes:

Damn that defensive move with the knight in the first game would have been so sick if he saw it. Wow

Another day, and another great video. Thank you, whoever you are.

Way to wedge in a nice little Full Metal Jacket reference. 1:37

Canuk here, love your videos and nomenclature!

Magnus is so good, his  pawns don't promote to Queens; they promote to Magnuses

Can you analyze the game Hoffmann vs Petrov, 1844? Its one of the most beautiful sacrifices I've ever seen.
