- This is a 2-hour bullet chess tournament, Lichess Titled Arena 4, I provided commentary on while specifically observing World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen compete. The Lichess Titled Arena 4 is held for titled chess players only, namely Grandmasters, International Masters, FIDE Masters, National Masters etc... Magnus Carlsen (DrDrunkenstein) was the top seed with a beastly 3006 rating. The top 10 players who entered this tournament had an average bullet rating above 2800!! This was the 4th "Titled Arena" held by lichess.org. Its $3,200 prize pool goes to the top 6 players, with 1st - $2,250, 2nd - $500, 3rd - $200, 4th - $125, 5th - $75, and 6th - $50. This tournament was played on April 12th, 2018.
I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.

Thanks for providing excellent commentary! It really helps make the event something special.
Lichess thanks for having a superb chess website with everything a chess player neede
:O it's the real lichess
Thank you. The competitiveness of this one really made it a blast to observe.
Now Lichess needs to host 4 player chess
Lichess invite Nakamura plz...that's the real deal
"Structure and a fork"
This is the top notch commentary I'm subscribed for.
Why when I decide to come to the comment section, he's saying this as I come across this comment
Xd
Dr. Drunkenstein sobered up just in time.
Only Jerry commentating Carlsen can persuade me to watch an entire two-hour vid.
Carlsen was streaming. I've noticed before that his playing strength suffers when he does that, because he has trouble handling talking and playing at the same time.
Last titled arena he had an 86% winrate compared to this times 75%.
I did not even notice this was a two hour video.
I enjoyed the crap out of it
Carlsens own stream of this is very good too entertaining and informative
During the 1972 WCC cycle, Bobby Fischer won 20 straight FIDE-rated classical games against titled opponents, a feat that has never been matched since. But here, Carlsen finished with 20 straight bullet chess wins against titled opponents. Very impressive.
Nobody beats IM opperwezen 20 times in a row.
But sadly beating him 19 times in a row is possible :)
@@AnTran-ie7vq yes... That was the joke. You didn't need to explain it
Love your commentary Jerry! Something odd I realized about these titled tournies...I get a distorted view of reality, I see a 2500 and think, " Oh, a weaker player" :O haha
I know right. Beefy tournament for sure. 2825 average rating for the top 10 finishers. 😮
Usually watch Jerry’s videos when I’m going to bed. Wasn’t expecting a heart racer like this one. Two hours later and I need to apologize to tomorrow me. Great commentary, Jerry!
1:25:20 Magnus goes into beast mode for a 20 game winning streak! Basically he double adopted the whole titled arena! XD
RIP Gokerkan... berserking against Carlsen lol
what time in the video is this?
found at 1:39:10
Carlsen has lost against berserking before in these titled arenas. In fact, he's been checkmated while being berserked against.
gokerkan got some massive balls doing that hahaha
This was amazing to watch live. Super tense and entertaining. Thanks for the commentary Jerry!!
1:06:03 "OK, now it is a pawn advantage. Black is up a pawn, black is up two pawns... No. This queen is an extra."
Fantastic comment but just a bit late to the ball game. Better luck next time.
Something was messed up in that game. It started 1. d4 cxd4 !?!?!? Someone explain that to me.
alonamaloh weird indeed
Yup, the interface messed up. The game was 1. d4 c5 2. c4 cxd4 [...] th-cam.com/video/32A79jhXQgs/w-d-xo.htmlh11m41s
Somehow the server or the livestream dropped 1 .. c5 2. c4
cxd4. The game is here: lichess.org/DGT342Ue/black#0
I don't know what's more exciting watching Carlsen or hearing your great commentary great job!
This is such great commentary, witty and at the same time exciting....Excellent stuff Jerry :)
This was amazing to watch live!
Amazing video
Thanks for uploading Jerry.
As usual, entertaining and informative commentary.
It must be as hard as playing !
Magnus is unreal. Love your commentary too man, you really are great at it.
Jerry, this was fantastic commentary. Thank you very much!
Wow, this was more entertaining than a 2 hour movie! Thanks for the commentary, Jerry! The commentjerry!
Really enjoying these videos and your commentary! Great content
You are doing a great job with this kind of vids. Love the content and the comment. Keep it up! Greetings from Argentina.
Just wanted to say, I absolutely love these kinds of videos Jerry. Might be my favorite kinds of chess videos there are. You provide very fast and interesting commentary, it is so great to see how these tournaments play out. Wish you were a real commentator at a chess event, might even get a face reveal ;)
It was a clever tactic with that nickname penguin, but it failed. :D
Watched Magnus' stream, and your commentary is just as interesting. In some of the best games on each stream you both point out different things (you even caught one or two misses that Magnus went "oh damn" on after). Incredible that you insight so much in split-second time.
thanks for the commentary, i never thought of exchanging pieces to demote the piece that captures it
I was glued to this the whole time. Shame I missed it live. Where can I check when is the next one?
Awesome video again Jerry, really enjoyed. I have a question though: how do you get all these nice images of the top players for your thumbnails without being subject to copyright?
Dude thanks for this!! Great commentary
I watched this live yesterday and for some reason I'm watching it again. What an amazing event and performance from Carlsen.
I want DrDrunkenstein vs DannyTheDonkey
that would be cool to see...
He'd just purposefully scholars mate himself,,seems like something carlsen would do.
How could he play his self
DrDrunkenstein is danny the donkey
@Omar Greene: How does anyone play themself? -you really should know.
Magnus Carlsen went on a tear at the end! 19 wins in a row and if you consider the very last game that they started with 1:07 left on the clock, but the opponent took a few seconds to decide to resign and it went over the time limit as a result, that would be 20 wins in a row. Impressive!
Am I the only one still watching these arena plays still?
44:47 Knight is hanging, rook is hanging bishop hanging, what's not hanging? :)
Amazing commentary as always! By the way, you can also find the Carlsen stream of the tournament available on TH-cam. It's fun to watch the interesting games from both perspectives (kb4 was indeed a mouse slip).
I think one of your Best Videos
Jerry your comments are the best awesome videos as always
You making chess like a basketball wit ya commentary bro. I like it.
26:31
Wow, stuff like this amazes me. How quickly Carlsen assesses this position, calmly responds with Be5. Amateur like myself sees this as very dangerous, cause I can't see everything so quickly. The queen and bishop diagonals, off-side rook cause of the mate threat..... Wow.
What program do you use to record your videos please Jerry?
Jo Be Probably OBS
I stumbled across Carlsen' stream, and it's funny that right after that move a3, which gave him 7 seconds pause, Till I Collapse begins to play. And after that - winning streak. Eminem boost
The original stream is on twitch. No link in the description?
47:07 "I'm not on fire..." Yes you are, Jerry. You are the fire 🔥🔥🔥
I like both open file and open fire
Best Commentary!!! MERCI JERRY!!!!!
I'm amazed how fast you can analyse these moves for me its just a blur of moves. Awesome Jerry thank you for making this video.
Fantastic commentary
Liked the moment you called a pair of bishops, 'killer bees' haha
1:05:46 Mystical new opening for black that uses 1.cxd4, but also forces 2.Qxd4. I think that d4 can now officially be considered refuted.
I love to see jerry commentating on magnus games =)
excellent commentary
Now this was super exciting!!!
What an awesome tournament very fun.
Basically, Carlsen is playing drunk, so the game gets interesting by "sober odds", as he likes to call it.
Wow Jerry! Just wow! Thank you for everything! You are awesome!!
*SPOLIERS*
Skip to 1:25:15 to watch Magnus' epic come back by winning his final 19 games in a row after being down 26 points with only 35 minutes to go in the tournament.
Did anyone has the link for Carlsen's stream?
Jerry you should play in the titled arena next time, it'd be extremely interesting to see you go up against the best
Hilarious how Magnu's was just fooling around until the tournament was almost over, you can tell the moment he gets serious because he just wins every game savagely!
Epic. Strong finish.
Amazing video
1:02:12 I was watching Carlsen stream, and that play wasn't really planed, he got lucky lol
"CleverTacticButFail" is GM Andrew Tang. Seeing the Title tournaments, he does pretty good, but he this one was a really good one for him. Maybe he should use the new moniker more often.
reminds me of the tour de france. Early breakaway chased down by the top pro right before the finish
Great, great video.
I watched this tournament on Lichess earlier!! Magnus Carlsen had a rough time but won it all in the end.
these are great
That's a ridiculous comeback! Wow!
ChessNetwork u should play titled arena 6 for sure.
What makes it more impressive was that the arena was filled with nothing but titled players. Quite a few GMs participated and Carlsen and CleverTactic still blew them away.
Carlsen was drinking Coronas on his stream, so he was playing intoxicated. That's why his scored sucked (that, and I've noticed that he usually performs worse when he streams).
Have a drink every time Jerry says "CleverTacticButFail".
You're still the man brah. Keep doing your thing.
1:21:41 Isn´t there a check on Nf3 to pick up the rook???? 27. Nf5 Nf3+???
Pro tip. You don't need bathroom break if you have empty coka cola bottle or flower pot next to you
time for a little toilet break... 10min left, 4pts down, plenty of time..:)
Ice cold
He came back!!!
Nice! Carlsen should consider always dropping a game in the beginning so lower rated professional players have a chance to play against him :D
So many GMs.
Having a blast watching this at 2x speed.
That was exciting till the end
1:51:29 Carlsen"s first timr at the number one spot
Great commentary. You made it fun, exciting and educational. I don't know how you could do better. Free donuts maybe? Thx
oh that 12 point - funny.
Come back of the year!
Your voice is so satisfying to listen to
Sound glitches towards the end are so annoying.
After watching all of it, this might be the best chess video on the internet. Magnus Carlsen trolling an entire Arena into thinking they stood a chance against him. What a world we live in. Fantastic video Jerry.
Edit: You are adorable Jerry. Have my FIDE master babies.
I think I fell in love with carlsen here.
Damn that's a pretty tough field
Really a 20 game winning streak ? That's rediculous and amazing from Carlsen.
1:21:41 I am a few months late but isn't there Nf3+ winning the rook? Did I miss something, I swear when white moved the Knight I was like "Oh sick blunder" but neither jerry nor magnus did what I thought so maybe I am wrong?
Put the position into an engine and see what happens for yourself
When you're Dutch and you're laughing at seeing MeneerMandje in the standings :D MAND!
It's almost cheating to start a new account.
CleverTacticButFail has some 'easy' wins in the beginning compared to his real rating. See around 2:09, Tang started at 1500? rating. He even beserked a couple of the first games to get more points. I'd say it is an exploit and those few points could very well have determined the outcome (which equals winning $2500 or $500!). Lichess should have the requirement of at least ~10-20 ranked matches in order to play this arena.
Not really. It does place you really fast. However, you shouldn't be able to berserk until your rating is determined, to avoid easy extra points against weak opponents.
I just found out that only the first game is based on rating, the rest is based on tournament place. So then it doesn't really matter, except that beserking the first game shouldn't be allowed.
yeah that was the clever tactic. unfortunately for andrew, it failed.
He was just using clever tactics bro
Idc who you are - there is no advantage to berserking against a titled player lol. Even Carlsen doesn't do it in these titled arenas.
1:03:04 just about minute for that game. Dear Jerry, bullet games are played in a minute mode :D
Each player has a minute, so that's 2 minutes per game, worst case scenario.
Also, there is a very small time increment of 0.04 seconds per move.
I want to see the comment session
42:38 that is the cutest thing I've ever heard you say
Who is night king?
1:47:16, the rook!
Pawn is going up the board
I laughed when u said: "DONT TAKE THE PAWN" at 53:00
this was not at 53:00, you tricked me
it was like 52:30
1:21:41 Nf3 taking the rook in the sequence could work?
1:05:45 I dont get that opening...
After pawn to D4, black played pawn to C5, then white played c4 and black took D4, white Queen recaptured and then knight to c6
Same. lol
The position didn't register correctly on the board, so a few moves were skipped out and Black's c pawn was still there (until Jerry refreshed it by looking at previous moves). But yeah confusing at first lol.
say what
1.d4 cxd4 ...
Okay, so apparently it was sicilian. 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 etc. just omitted the first two moves, some bug. fixed itself after a while.
1:21:41 black move should be knight f3 check then pawn takes knight rook takes rook gg for black am i right?
First game and 15 sec for move „that position took forever, Its game over”
