Mato, I cannot thank you enough... And I also cannot say it enough the fact that you're videos are not only very educational, but at the same time absolutely hilarious!! Your humor is just on another level... lol YOU'RE THE BEST!!! PROUD SUBSCRIBER!!! =)
4:35 After 21. Nh2, what if black plays Be2 instead of f3? I'm sure I'm missing something but it seems to me that white would have to move the rook on f1 to save it and regardless of where it goes, black has f3 to follow up with and I don't see white being in a good position afterwards.
Wait, so where did Caruana go wrong? Should White have taken e5 (at 1:15, and even though Black seems OK in the line at 2:25 with Qd6)? Or maybe Rfb1 at 5:55 was the chief mistake (since White jammed his other rook into the corner)?
WIM42GNU Thanks. Interesting, because Nh2 is what Mato calls the "critical position" of this game. As a longtime Mato fan, I have always wondered what "critical position" means. I think I see now: Mato means that a technical mistake was just made which gives the game's winner his opportunity to get ahead.
In general, Caruana had too many pieces on the opposite side of the board away from his king. I started to worry when Caruana's queen went to the Q-side. Look at the K-side Carlsen's pieces are poised to move toward the W king.
I think as soon as Carauna allowed the protected, invading F4 he lost the momentum - too many kingside opportunities created by that beast to counter with slow queenside attempts
carlsen's play is fischer - like in this, positionally sound and steadily aggressive but it seems like Caruana had plenty of chances, and then suddenly an insanely sharp bolt out of hell
Mato, thanks for video but audio is a bit low and you know we all enjoy your commentary and wisecracks. Can you please make it a bit higher next video you make. Thanks
Interesting, i've seen many comments complaining about audio. Mato is doing a good job, it just needs a little tweaking. As an audio engineer i'd be glad to help. Mato, if you need any assistance feel free to ask, i'll be glad to help you fix your audio! Doesn't cost anything.
I don't think white could have had the pawn for free. In view of the continuation played, at 2:29 it doesn't look good for white as Mato Jelic claims. Black can just castle, and everything is fine for black (not losing a pawn at all).
... Magnus is only BLUFFING ... after his WRONG move at 1:35 in the opening with 8. ... e5 ?? the position would be an easy win for Fabiano ( for example : 9.Nxe5! Nxe4 10.Qf3! f5 11.Bf4! Qe7 12.dxe4! Bxe5 13. 0-0-0! ) ... Caruana has to learn that Magnus sometimes ( like in poker ) is only bluffing ... kindly regards Lutz

Thanks for uploading these videos. I look forward to them everyday !
Thansk a lot for all your video mato...

the blunder from caruana was Nh2 otherwise stockfish says he is +0.8

7:22--BxR, RxB Rh1#, Kd2 RxR on a1 and black is up the exchang and a rook?
Never mind. Forgot about that pawn... but otherwise...
I heard you can win chess games easily when your pieces can fly.
Good game. It's nice to see Magnus play like a human.
When Black played ...c5 at 8:29, why didn't White play Nxc5?
+Keith Brian Johnson because if NXc5, then RH3, KXA1+ QL9! A7? QO2! fO2? but since bishop is offside the pawn on J4 queening won't count.
+Keith Brian Johnson Maybe because of Re2 d2 rde8
sorry but ur explanation didnt make sense. At 8:29 after Nxc5 - Rook cant go H3. care to explain again? :)
Carlsen really seems like a true champ when you see games like this.
At 2:20 why couldn't white play f4. That wins a piece right?
Such unbelievably intelligent and talented players.

Magnus should've paid $10 extra for the flying rook.
Mato, thanks for video but audio is a bit low and you know we all enjoy your commentary and wisecracks. Can you please make it a bit higher next video you make. Thanks
***** well... then you switch to another TH-cam video and have your ears crushed

Don Solaris very cool for you to offer your assistance, especially for free. have a good day!
I'd like slightly louder audio too. Without using earphones, the commentary is just a bit low outdoors or any kind of background noise.
What was Magnus thinking with that pawn to f5 move?
Hello Mato:
Your voice is low. Just a feed back.
"just imagine for rook can fly" LOL
Funny how the pawn that white could have taken for free is the one getting promoted at the endgame
I don't think white could have had the pawn for free. In view of the continuation played, at 2:29 it doesn't look good for white as Mato Jelic claims. Black can just castle, and everything is fine for black (not losing a pawn at all).
audio?
All my chess pieces can fly.
What a finish by Magnus Carlsen
5:53 why not queen to G4?
Or maybe knight to F4 first?
Tnks!!!!
2:26 if looks good for white why he did not tok it ?!
I wonder if ... 9. Ne5 Ne4 10. Nc6 Qd7 11. Qe4 Kf1 12.O-O
I have a feeling Carlsen might have just been bluffing with the 8... e5 move.
who won?
Bxa1 was also my preference.
Magnus is still the man, but I suspect Caruana's time will come.
wow, did Magnus know in advance that the e7 pawn would become a queen? This man is a genius if he planned that early
Tiger Lily nothing not planned early with Magnus tho
LOL @ 6:40 !!!!
Had Caruana captured the pawn on e5 in his ninth move, he perhaps would have had a better chance of winning.
... Magnus is only BLUFFING ... after his WRONG move at 1:35 in the opening with 8. ... e5 ?? the position would be an easy win for Fabiano ( for example : 9.Nxe5! Nxe4 10.Qf3! f5 11.Bf4! Qe7 12.dxe4! Bxe5 13. 0-0-0! ) ... Caruana has to learn that Magnus sometimes ( like in poker ) is only bluffing ...
kindly regards

I think that PI5 was bluff. Caruana probably thought it was a prepared line and decided not to take the pawn;-)
Why Caruana didn't take a e5? It's a win.
Carlsen is a genius
simular to mar del plata variation
Good Sicilian offense (*_*)
omg the flying rook lol
I found f3!
Rock to d1 should be played earlier.. Moving rocks they didn't do anything
Its rook not rock
yeah, get a decent mic mato
He should have taken the pawn
They play like stockfish, there is no Tal.
301 :3
If rooks could fly...
hhhh rock can't fly
Карлсен не сильнейший в мире, я это докажу.
