Even faster than that. I was watching his stream before I went to work yesterday. I came back and he was logged into Lichess. He was likely done with this in 8 or 9 hours.
Surely the most complicated theoretical "missed win" in world championship history. It would make an excellent study. Black needs to 1).trap his own knight 2). allowing white attempts to queen So he so could execute a 3). windmill-like manuover 4). with the bishop (as opposed to a rook) 5). twice so that he could finally 6). Put white in Zugzwang and 7). Win a pawn So he could 8). win with rhe last remaining pawn and 9). Queen his last pawn in another 20 moves or so. And this is just the *main variation*. That Caruana "missed" this win is not surprising. It would have been superhuman if he could have found it. Without modern computers I'm convinced *nobody* would ever realized it is there at all.
@@ChessNetwork compare the video's analysis to many press reports which said, in effect, that Caruana was winning BECAUSE he had a knight for 2 pawns. As if he were leading 3:2 in a soccer game. Gives you an idea how accurate the press tends to be about anything...
@@PilpelAvital This is basically the Gell-Mann effect... now chess players obviously think the press is clueless when it comes to chess, but will turn the page to foreign affairs and think that they are some kind of experts, whereas they basically never have a clue.
This is why I wish my broadcast would go back to using their old weaker computer. It was far better at showing how the game was going. The players are good, but they are not super human.
There is another reason to keep the a pawn and not the b pawn. Magnus have a white bishop and the promotesquare from the a pawn is a white square while the b8 square black is.
I used to play chess a long time ago back in grade-school but I drifted out of the hobby long ago, only occasionally playing with friends every year or so. One of your videos landed in my recommended about a week ago and you have rekindled my long lost passion with your outstanding analysis. Thank you for that.
On behalf of all we chess lovers, I thank you so much, Jerry, for covering this championship so outstandingly. Undoubtedly, your channel is the best one regarding chess!
"Chess is the art of analysis." - Mikhail Botvinnik In Botvinnik's eyes, I believe, you would be great, master Jerry. In my eyes you are fantastic. Your tutorials are always analytical, revealing, instructive, interesting and superb. IMHO you are the best commentator on the YT (although there are other good ones). Thank you! Keep the excellent work going on!
Thanks for this great video, i'm watching all the games live but I still enjoy your post-match review. Kasparov said after the game that only a super-engine could have seen that winning variation. So it's not really a "winning" position for Caruana. If this game was played 20 years ago we would have never know about that variation.
This video is one of the great chess analyses on TH-cam imo.Fantastic job... And amazing how well both players played in this game... Definitely championship level... with each being very aware of what other was thinking and planning almost all the way through. This is one of those times where a draw is shown to be a great game.
I watched this game with peter svedler commenting this. What annoyed me is that on the last 30 minutes, everyone kept chatting "blunder blunder... How can magnus/caruana not know it was a blunder blablabla". While i'm sure they used engine, not their brain. It annoyed me so much that people who trust engine more, mocking at the two wc candidates, not realising they both had been playing for like 6 hours and NOT using engine. Why do people who have no brain talk more than the ones who do, jerry ?
Well I watched it on TH-cam and chat is disabled, so problem solved. People are idiots, I mean I understand using an engine if you want, but shut up and listen to top level grandmasters and try to understand their lines of thought, sure as hell you will never understand the machines'.
They got so used to these guys making 0 inaccuracies, 0 mistakes and 0 blunders in all games, that the moment either side of them makes the tiniest slip it's considered a "blunder". Funny thing is that most of the people watching would have no idea which move was a "good" or a "bad" one if they didn't have the engine evaluation there to check it out. Just for the note, I don't mean to say that I could, but that's the reason why I'm not yelling "blunder" in the chat every time the engine evaluation shifts a bit.. :-D But then again you got to give these people commenting some slack too. They're trying to watch something that they cannot in any level comprehend for hours. Engine evaluations are easy to read, and thus they're easy to rely on making somewhat accurate estimations about which side has an advantage, even for beginners. So beginners who couldn't explain the reasons why one side is better than another can still join the discussion and perhaps feel more "involved" and "understanding" to the game going on. It was a great game to watch live though. I just ignored the chat engine evals and "missed mate" comments and enjoyed the analysis by Rensch, Hess and occasionally dropped in for a Jerry or Chessbrah point of view. Watching these games afterwards with a thorough Jerry analysis is the cherry on the cake. :-)
It's a universal thing. The lesser achievers are the ones on the sidelines commenting the higher achievers. Exceptions if they have a trackrecord of their own, then possibly the comments have some merit.
@@1234444rbi For me it is a question of respect. Calling something a blunder puts you somehow on an undeserved pedestal. Unless you actually figured it out yourself.
I can't thank you enough for your summaries during this WC, Jerry. It'S a lot of effort that pays out. I can't watch the games due to working. Once I'm settled in and at home this is the first thing I watch/do. Now I get some food.
Thanks! Great job. I really appreciate that this must have taken a lot of effort but it was worth it(easy for me to say =]) as it's possibly my favorite non-historical breakdown on any channel to date. Thanks, again!
Jerry - I've watched a couple of your videos teaching kids chess. Very admirable work. I "get something out of" all your video here. You're a good teacher.
It was so great hearing the excitement in Jerry’s voice throughout his live commentary on this match, no more so than before the Bf3 and Nd2 moves that led to the endgame material imbalance. Keep up the great work Jerry, you’re a true asset to the game of chess!
With your analyses of these games, it's difficult to believe you aren't at grandmaster or at least getting close to that. As interesting as it was, most of the complex sequences were far beyond what my 1130 brain could comprehend lol. Your videos are really pleasant to watch and listen to and I always end up having another game or two after watching just to get my brain going again.
just wanted to say that I watched 4 other analyses of this game and yours was the clearest, most enlightening, and thorough. You covered the forced made very nicely with just the right level of detail. Look forward to seeing further analyses by you!
There’s more than one time the white bishop is the arch enemy threatening to bury the knight’s galloping around the board. Which makes it the Arch Bishop Of Canter Bury!
There's actually a much simpler reason why Magnus gave up the B pawn instead of the A pawn: The queening square of the A file is the same color as his bishop
Amazing performance from both players. The fine line both of them are having to walk is incredibly thin. Hats off to Caruana for putting such pressure on Carlsen who was playing white but in particularly to Carlson for holding the game with creative and accurate moves. Just incredible.
Thank you so much for all that work that you put into your videos, I aways stop with everything I do if I see your upload. And watch your video instant. Just amazing, cant wait for the first winner in this matches
Very awesome. It is not possible to make a Vid like this without hardwork .Very incredible vid bro. U r. Cool. The special thing about this vid is u can learn how GM play,their plans and a lot more but thanks for the vid.
I see all these other channels uploading their analyses and I don't watch any until Jerry uploads his, I don't want them to spoil it for me. It is well worth the wait.
Where was this video 10 hours. I was so frustrated I had to watch the analysis from Chess.com, missed jerry analysis and now will watch the analysis again just out of love for jerry.
I really like the guy doing the analysis. He's actually quite funny - the way he describes situations. I like the videos. I'm trying to watch all of them.
Also at 27:50, an outside past pawn on the a-file has a queening square on a light square, not a dark one. A note I thought useful. Great video Jerry. You're my favorite analysist because you explain "why" to so many more important questions.
Wow! Fireworks! Best game thus far. This is a piece of history in the making. Great analysis as always. Thanks for covering the championship; I never followed one before.
Superb commentary on end game. Without chess commentators like you we would have never understood this higher level gameplay. "Engines only give numbers not the explaination" 4000 + likes for the video says it all ....
Jerry, you r the best chess analyzer .One can learn everything in chess from you.One can learn move by move chess ideas from your videos .If anyone has No coach then no worry because we have Jerry....
stunning analysis Jerry. I watched the live feed and their brains were frying on move 68! I found your exploratory sequences much easier to follow .. well done and thank you. I wonder ... is this the highest quality 6 game sequence EVER in any chess match?
Wow, even Stockfish9 could not find move 68:bh4! and it says it is a draw but after that bishop to h4, Stockfish says "it is a wining position for black". And after move 68:bh4, stockfish won this game playing against itself at the move 123!
A 43 min analysis of a 6 hour match just about 12 hours after the game finished, this is determination. Impressive
Jerry needs a rest day more than the players!
Omg, I didn't even notice it was 43 mins, It felt more like 10 to me. This really was impressive!
Even faster than that. I was watching his stream before I went to work yesterday. I came back and he was logged into Lichess. He was likely done with this in 8 or 9 hours.
This so good...and please dont compare this with agadmator 😅
@@JohnFKennedy420 time increment
Fantastic Jerry. You are working your socks off! Much appreciated.
No wonder he gets paid so well...!
If Caruana saw that forced win then he deserves to be a world champion.
Surely the most complicated theoretical "missed win" in world championship history. It would make an excellent study. Black needs to
1).trap his own knight
2). allowing white attempts to queen
So he so could execute a

No rest. More chess
Last year towards the end of the games he lost his voice he was working so hard
World chess champion ship is not so often :)
Engine effort 😉
A pop quiz to us that not even Caruana could figure out. Haha.... hahahaha hahahaha!!!!!
Yea, I was like : I'm not going near that pause bottom.
@@31redorange08 I wonder if we would all play better if we continuously thought to ourselves that "there is something" every move.

Yes! Another good note!
33:42 "What will you do" had to have a warning:
"don't pause the video, you will not be able to figure out"
During the live stream he said this might be a 40min video... and it is 40min video! wonderful

Keep up the great work Jerry, you’re a true asset to the game of chess!
Thanks Jerry. You're the first I've seen to be able to explain Bh4!
That was an amazing game! Thanks for breaking it down. I miss the videos of you playing chess hopefully there are some after this tournament
I’ll get back on the horse.🐴😎
Jerry, you are absolutely peerless in explaining top games. The Svidlers and the Williamses of this world trail in your wake.
Thanks so much for your hard work Jerry!
Caruana and Carlsen are playing like chess engines. Amazing. Thank you Jerry for the great job.

Oh, I intend to keep it up. I have a whole collection of Canter Bury tales.
This might be the most British joke I've ever heard :P
Wow, that was almost as labored as black's potential win in the endgame above.
Good work.
It was so hard to avoid seeing the results of the match so that I could listen to Jerry break it down. I really really appreciate it man!
That Bh4 that was missed is giving that Black Bishop a nice little workout.
Another timeless commentary. Thank you!
I posted this on reddit. This is a wonderful explanation. Thank You. Very clear.
Instant-classic, instant-like
There's actually a much simpler reason why Magnus gave up the B pawn instead of the A pawn: The queening square of the A file is the same color as his bishop
Additional idea 👍🏼
This and your commentairy during the game are absolutely great! Really focussing on the chess being played and a lot of insightful analysis. Thanks!
Wow, what a classic game! So many rich positions. Amazing analysis, Jerry. These guys once again demonstrated why they are the best in the world.

Amazing sequence of moves with bishop and knight to win. Profound and very educational. I will be re-watching this many more times. Thanks Jerry.
