Magnus is suffering from success. Him Winning 20 tournaments barely makes headlines, but a single loss or draw especially to a rising prodigy becomes breaking news. He's reached such a legendary status that defeating him once is considered an achievement in itself. GOAT 🐐🔥

Oh wow Gukesh winning his match against Magnus had so much popularity that I didn't even know Magnus won the tournament itself lol poor guy, no one talks about his wins vs his losses

i just lost 9 times to a 1000 bot so i can relate

You gotta love how it's crystal clear with that slam and instant handshake Magnus is extremely pissed at himself, but respects Gukesh for sticking it out and beating him

This is fantastic storytelling, and accurate in every aspect, which makes is even more impressive! I love your videos

I genuinely thought it was Gordon Ramsey playing chess instead of Magnus in the thumbnail lmao

He's not angry. he's passionate

Magnus is the unreachable all time goat. nobody will ever be as good as him. they only write about him when he loses because he does so much winning it gets stale

it’s a great story and i like the way you do your analysis more than other youtubers

It’s a really small detail but I love the little sound effect you added on the handshakes at 1:04 and 1:05.

Really well made video 👍

This game was totally lost before the endgame for Gukesh, so I understand Carlsen's frustration. I would've done the same if I had let such a winning position slip away from me.

Excellent storytelling! This video easily deserves more views.

It would be great if the interview after the game started with "It was a tough game, and we should start by addressing what everyone has been thinking. I would like to thank the sponsors for the excellent quality of tables they have provided....."

In Sumo Wrestling, there is a tradition, when celebrating an anniversary or retirement of a great competitor, that two champions will do a comedy match in which they make light of the strong traditions, talent, and discipline in their sport - it's a show of the respect competitors have for each other, their incredible skills (which they make look easy when they do them, but are revealed as hard when they show what a mistake looks like), and the reverence for tradition by having a match that stays within the rules but breaks some rules that never need to be written.

A friendly match in which the players fake trash talk (throw in a "yo queen's so fat....", respectful quips about the opponent, things like that), set obvious traps, pull the board to their side of the table so the opponent has to reach farther, hide the clock from each other, and other little jokes - that could be fun to watch, and have something for all skill levels to enjoy.

There is no sport or competition that is too serious to make fun of itself. And sometimes, it is needed.

Its just a passionate gesture but not against his opponent but rather himself in frustration at losing. Not a problem!

Amazing video ! Loved the seamless explanation and transition through the games ! Earned a sub from me

Best chess videos on the internet by a long shot, thanks

How does this only have 7k views?

It was obvious he knew how to win

I like your storytelling. Hope you’re able to do it for the 2026 candidates and beyond as well.

This is such a great video that I’m shocked by the low amount of views!

can you do a video on the rematch between daniil dubov and hans niemann?
