Maybe Gukesh will motivate Magnus to come back and play for world #1. Magnus really has no serious competition right now, so Gukesh may be the fuel for the fire.
Your commentary is always great, but with this one you've made a masterpiece I think, the game was so intricated and you managed to make it so clear. Chapeau!
Magna Carta made the terrible mistake of underestimating a young and upcoming opponent, probably thinking he didn't have the experience or knowledge, forgetting the famous phrase: "Never disregard a man who has nothing to lose and everything to win", sounds Sun-Tzu, it resembles a phrase, not played by Tzu, but by Jiu-Jit-Zu, Ding Liren's ancestor, not many people know about him, and what a coincidence we see here, very natural, as the fellow just lost to this very same awesome player. Thanks for the vid James, really enjoyed it!
Good game takes a lot to beat Magnus Gukesh was spot on with those moves intense game .Gukesh has a lot of respect for Magnus most Indian players acknowledge how great he is but we’ll probably never see Magnus compete in the FWC. Thanks for the Game James hope you feel better soon
I also thought the same. I think there just was a small mix up with the following line at 05:03. It has no significant consequences on the analysis overall.
The meaning of some words changes over time due to widespread misuse, and the incorrect usage eventually becomes accepted as the standard. This shift often erases the original meaning, leading to confusion about how these words should be used. Take, for example, the word *undisputed*. In theory, it should mean "not questioned, challenged, or debated." An *undisputed champion*, then, would be a champion whose status remains unchallenged because no one contests their superiority. However, in contexts like boxing, *undisputed champion* refers to someone who holds all the titles from the major sanctioning bodies. This usage is technical and valid within the sport, but it diverges from the word's broader meaning. In chess, referring to a world chess champion as *undisputed* is even more problematic, as becoming the champion requires winning a dispute ‒ a highly contested world chess match. In this case, the term is misapplied, as the title is achieved through precisely the kind of contest the word *undisputed* implies does not exist. Another example of semantic drift is the word *acute*. It originally meant "sharp" or "keen," both in a literal and metaphorical sense (e.g., acute intellect or acute pain). Over time, its shortened form, *cute*, took on a new meaning entirely, referring to something charming or physically attractive. While *cute* has lost any connection to sharpness or cleverness, its evolution from *acute* is still traceable. Similarly, the word *irony* has undergone significant changes. Derived from the Greek *eironeia*, meaning "feigned ignorance," it originally described a rhetorical method used by philosophers, such as Socrates, who pretended ignorance to draw out the truth. Over time, *irony* came to signify intentional misrepresentation, such as pretending to be less intelligent than one is. Today, it is primarily used to describe situations where the outcome is contrary to expectations or to refer to statements that convey a meaning opposite to their literal words. Another word that has shifted meaning is *sophisticated*. Historically, it meant "adulterated" or "made unnecessarily complex to deceive." Now, it is often used to describe someone or something that is refined, cultured, or technologically advanced ‒ a far cry from its original negative connotation. These examples highlight how the misuse of words can lead to their meanings evolving into something entirely different. While language naturally changes, some shifts can obscure clarity and distort the original intent of words.
Marionette Candlestick. No other videos I watch ever make me laugh within the first 10 seconds of pressing play, Margarine Carton set me off giggling for about ten minutes a while back, lol.
I agree I don't think he's top 3 in the world but don't agree he won by luck, final game was a blunder but I see him as the worthy winner and better player throughout overall
@@epicchess2021 He had a good opening strategies, but it was one of the most boring world championships ever. Also there are speculations, that Ding lost on purpose
His moves are even more epic when narrated by a man wearing Christmas attire making woosh sounds
Agreed
what a move
I think you mean 'vot a moof'?
what....... a...... move......
I laughed. loudly.
I was seriously going to say this
Puuuuuhh.
the humor is so underrated
thanks a lot!
4:57 Queen's gambit declined
Maybe Gukesh will motivate Magnus to come back and play for world #1. Magnus really has no serious competition right now, so Gukesh may be the fuel for the fire.
I don't think Magnus believes Gukesh is any threat. He probably fears only Stockfish and Alpha Zero. heh
I don't see Magnus getting motivated unless he loses the #1 ranking.
lol, Gukesh still can't beat Magnus over 14 rounds, not a chance
Your commentary is always great, but with this one you've made a masterpiece I think, the game was so intricated and you managed to make it so clear. Chapeau!
thanks very much appreciate the kind words!
4:57, why i would capture knight, when is queen toasted with knight;)
My chess needs are met on a daily here
Should be noted, that this was a _rapid_ game. I'm sure, there are/were younger players out there defeating Magnus in blitz or bullet.

Ah, our favourite player: Mortal Combat
"Hans Finegold" will never not be very baffling.
4:58 but why take the knight when you can take the queen?
I hope you feel better Epic Chess
0:08 Gukesh = 18th @ 18!
That is one massive bragging right!
Epic Commentary !
Unbelievable! I haven't even watched the entire video and it's unbelievable!
haha true
I havent even open my laptop and I told myself "what a game"
4:58 - that the knight could drop, wouldnt be my biggest concern. Or do i miss something?

Always great to see overhyped magnus getting destroyed 🙂
Thank you Gukesh 🙂
I was so eagerly anticipating wook-ie-1, but it never came. Loving the b4 jokes, though. A classic. Always excellent. Thank you!
ah forgot haha sorry
the truly very well proportioned goats are the friends we met along the way
Always remember, one game won is nothing... Magnus will come back with way more fire
French Cheese… the Brie defence 🪤
4:56 Botez gambit :)
can we see actual fish stock in the video
I reckon i could give this Carpark Magnetron a run for his money.
why does Magnus look like a completely different person in every single TH-cam thumbnail?
haha true, I have quite a wide array of pictures these days!

What an unnecessary complication. Undisputed simply means that there is no other 'claimant' to the title. No need to overthink it.
I expect you next to Joe Rogan at UFC 313! #UFCHEESE
Seems as Magnetar Carlsberg is on a slump lately… power to da people, go Gukesh!
Cheese and chips? Here we call those cheese fries.
Do you Brits have chili chips like we have chili fries?
Yeah chips with chill sauce but when u say chips I’m meaning fries but fat ones
@epicchess2021 yeah we call those steak fries over here
Forsooth, that's a lot of knights!
Marrianete candlestick!
Your lack of mushrooms disturbs me!
The force isn't strong in that one.
haha sorry
Eval Barovitch 😂
Move magnus, new king came

Haha thanks a lot for watching
Looks like Magnus forfeited his title, knowing the next generation is waiting to surpass him 😮
Hansfingold 😂
No mushrooms today :(
sorry haha
Crazzzy
Mushrooms
So are they better than Carlson?
Not really clear on how many games were played
They are better than Carlson, the Swedish GM. But far weaker than the Norwegian Carlsen.
cheese
Wait! No mushrooms, no "boufff what a move", no procedure? What's going on? Unsubscribing now!
Ps.. Get well soon James
haha sorry and thanks!
I don't think Gukesh is that good. He won the Chess Championship by luck
I agree I don't think he's top 3 in the world but don't agree he won by luck, final game was a blunder but I see him as the worthy winner and better player throughout overall
Also people forget that he's only 18. Who knows what his future holds?
@@epicchess2021 There are speculations that Ding lost on purpose
@@epicchess2021 He had a good opening strategies, but it was one of the most boring world championships ever. Also there are speculations, that Ding lost on purpose
@@apathologicalliar748doesn't matter for me he will remain as a boring personality person, like fabi is.
