I love how those positions are equal for almost the entire game. I can't fathom how they manage that in such varying games. I would certainly blunder in an epic fashion at any step. I might not be the brightest nor am I a good chess player, but I can appreciate how beautiful those games are where the tension never releases despite how intricate the game is. Levy's comments guiding us through it certainly helps!
29:50 Funnily enough, watching your commentary in Ludwig's chessboxing event was what convinced me that chess could be interesting. I wouldn't be enjoying playing as much as I am now without this channel
Regarding the mic settings, you sounded a bit quieter on vacation, but I figure that's just because maybe you couldn't be too loud to avoid annoying the neighbors or something, so it's kinda hard to compare. Personally I think the way it is here and usually is great and doesn't need changing.
He just did 11-0 in Titled Tuesday, now 9-0 in Croatia SuperUnited. (Uhh, that's 20 in a row? )I think Magnus Carlsen is going to be, probably, the 1st chess player in history to reach the 2,900 Elo
Someone needs to invent resurrection of the dead because I think watching Jose Raul Capablanca vs Magnus Carlsen in an endgame competition would be the greatest spectacle in all of chess history for me. So many endgames won by Carlsen today and he just makes it look so effortless. Excellent description of the games as usual too Levy, despite being so jetlagged. Thanks.

This is why I laugh whenever I see idiots claiming Magnus is “slowing down” and “isn’t as good as he once was” whenever he happens to lose/draw one or 2 games (against other super GMs).
