Please for the love of god bring Gustaffson, Svidler, Polgar or Leko to commentate the world cup matches, otherwise most of us will watch the live footage on mute. No disrespect to anyone else, but I really like the 4 GMs mentioned above. Of course it will be amazing if Carlsen or Caruana commentate as well.
Leko, Svidler, and Polgar are my favorite commentators. I like Gustaffson just okay. Fabi makes an excellent commentator; I’m always glad when he’s the guest. And, of course, I always like to hear Magnus’ analysis, but I don’t think he’s a great commentator. As far as guest commentators, I prefer Fabi and Hikaru.
People are saying both commenter are yappers and such but at the end of the day, one yapper with a more quiet commentator can be a very good combo, there was a dissonance of two talking over each other here but I think both are great commentators, just that they don't seem to work particularly well as a pairing
I am sorry, but hand pushing the 'pretty lady' into camera, just to make sure she is captured is just cringe AF. They're trying too hard to make this Casino like.
Production quality / event staging are so cool -- but puleeez (1) let us viewers see the players make the moves -- the game is after all a human drama -- and (2) update the electronic board with the moves in a timely manner, thereby returning us from whatever hypothetical possibility was under consideration to the real world (yes at times this may involve checking the move visually if electronic update is slow.) Re: commentary yeah it was not working today, rethink
1:13:00 The live board is all that's worth watching in this video, so naturally it's relegated to a tiny corner and regularly replaced by heart-rate data that, if it must be shown so much, should at least replace some less essential screen real estate. When the live board returns, it shows an entirely different choice of moves. More stellar production from the chess24 team....
I think the best combo is a talker and a listener like for example Svidler and Leko. Maybe insert Judith Polgar. Another good combo is Hess and Naroditsky and insert one super GM.
@maxkho00 Terrible jokes. Bad jokes. The best jokes are funny because of irony or some logic to it, NOT BECAUSE THE WORD IS A HOMONYM AND SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER WORD.
Wow, the match between Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana was truly exciting! 🎉 I really enjoyed how both players handled Chess960 with such unexpected strategies.
Im sure Maurice is a nice guy, but he needs to go. So arrogant and condescending, especially to Tania. That was tough to watch. I was about to turn it off just because of him. Sorry you had to go through that Tania. I bet she is feeling terrible right now after that.
There's a variety of chess played in Burma where players arrange their pieces themselves behind the pawns, although the pawns are staggered on ranks 3-6. It's called Sittuyin (look it up on Wikipedia). I developed an idea for freestyle chess based on this. Pawns are on ranks 2 and 7 as usual, but the opening phase sees players take turns to place their pieces on ranks 1 and 8 in the order they like, following 960 rules about king placement and mandatory opposite colour bishops. Only once they have all pieces in place do they play their first move. This way you can get very different setups playing against each other.

Why do quite often I feel like commentators constantly try to one-up each other or kinda fight for who's right and who analyses better while both clearly have little idea and mostly rely on engine? Perhaps it is only whenever I see one of these two I feel like this? There are quite a number of commentators who seem much more calm though. Really not the best pairing up there.
Maurice said that Tania is distracting and too beautiful in Sagar’s video. He might be intimidated and being rude to her because of it. Or maybe because he lost to her team yesterday. Either way he needs to be professional and have some humility.
I finally get it. To set the table, I HATED Danny Rensch's commentary in Head & Hand, yet I very much enjoyed the commentary by Maurice & Tania. I'm convinced most of the negative comments here are from Danny Rensch burner accounts...to make himself feel better for botching yesterday's Head & Hand by now unfairly attacking Maurice & Tania with anonymous accounts. "Hey look, the comments criticize Maurice & Tania too!" Pathetic & despicable Danny, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Tania is a professional yapper and I'd love if you could selectively tune out casters whenever you watch some game or match. So many words and so little content.
"No it's very creative, very inventive by Fabi and as they say necessity is the mother of all inventions. You know you land yourself off into this troubled position where suddenly you are about to lose material and you want to create a mess on the board, and G5 was definitely not a move that Magnus was expecting 'cause he's gone into a think now as well. With all that said, I think Magnus is going to grab one of those two pawns, either first on the right side or on the left side and Fabi will still have to prove compensation but it had to be done. You can't just sit and say 'take my pawn, come at me',,, you know you can't say this to a player like Magnus, because damn right he will" The two pawns mentioned are the two free pawns available in the position, that has already been discussed.

Nah bro that black guy was the problem he kept contradicting tanya after every move he is just jealous of her and he kept contradicting every phrase from tanya absolutely foolish and dumb

Yep, the combined screeching hysteria and sidewalk blocking macho swagger. Not for me.
he just wont let her slide a phrase in. Poor Tanya is a much better commentator but bro thinks he is the goat commentator....... arrrff
Projection.
Maurice talks as if his word was more important or smth haha

Hi Zalmy, I think that this style of play is called Fischer Random Chess, or Chess960, which was invented by Bobby Fischer
7-0 in ! - moves. 97,7 % accuracy. SICK!!
I am sorry, but hand pushing the 'pretty lady' into camera, just to make sure she is captured is just cringe AF. They're trying too hard to make this Casino like.
