I didn't think it was possible James, but your flow and delivery is getting even better. You are so easy to listen to. You really know how to keep the game moving with just the right amount of humor.
Thanks a lot appreciate it! Yeah I relax into it all a lot more these days and more my true personality comes out than early days so less wooden etc, I think takes time getting comfortable on camera and finding your feet etc. thanks a lot for the feedback glad you’re enjoying!
Once again my eye drifts to the 3, 2 seconds remaining on the clock, and I marvel at the skill of these lunatics. Can anyone say for sure that Magnus is not some sort of Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Terminator?
At 6:46 -- To give some "room" (air?) -- or some "luft" as we say in chess!? "Luft" literally means "air" in Norwegian -- can also mean "some space/leeway." What's the background? This can also possibly come from German (or some other Germanic language.) Yes, I'm a Norwegian but also a language and chess nerd, but I have never heard this expression before... BTW. Excellent video, as always! :) Thanks!
Yeah comes from German as I understand it same as zwischenzug, zugswang, zeitnot , a lot of words borrowed in chess from different language eg French , en passant and j’doube, Italian, fianchetto, Persian, rook and checkmate and lost goes on! Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed!
@@bz-winningitall no worries man. A passed pawn is a pawn that can never get attacked by another pawn and doesn’t have an opponents pawn in front of it on the same file that can blockade it. The pawns on the adjacent files either have been captured, have passed your pawn, or has made a capture moving it off the adjacent file. I hope I explained that correctly lol
Didn't Carlsen just panic when black finally managed to drum up some counterplay? The bishops and pawns looked nice, but it was very hard for white to advance those pawns as he was so weak on the dark squares
Never heard that one, just woolly hat we say here, pretty dull ha. Sometimes people talk about beanies as well tho they slightly different design usually
This game was played on the same day as Abdusattorov played Maghsoodloo in Prague, just a few hours later. So what do you think, Epic? Was Magnus inspired by Nodirbek's Adams Attack against the Najdorf? ;-)
@@epicchess2021 Same here, my friend! I was checking it a moment ago, and it leads to some diabolically sharp positions. Well, what am I telling YOU, who brought up this variation with these wild games!?
I like your channel, but @8:14 you said, "Magnus has got four pawns and a bishop for this queen plus they are very advanced." I wouldn't call it a "sacrifice" at all when you are fully compensated, even over-compensated, with smaller pieces and position.
Interesting you say that because are here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_sacrifice and in particular see ‘real’ vs ‘sham’, I would class this every bit a ‘real’ one! I mean evaluation swing straight from massive white win to 0.00
@@epicchess2021 That was a fascinating page to read. I had never heard those terms before. I think you should create a video on that very topic: sham vs. real sacrifices.

@@epicchess2021 Maybe not Carlsen-popular, but they are not that far behind either in views or in comments. (Also some of titles are simply not as eye grabbing than regular "WTF Carslen did now" ;) ) Thanks for pointers.
thanks james it takes a grandmaster to know the greatest grandmaster teenage prodigy genius stay away from this kid casparove its like trying to start a fire with a plastic toothpick
Haha just had some proper messy hair going on was all and had to record on a tight schedule so needed a quick solution! I mean it’s just a woolly hat is all his bad can it be 😁
@@epicchess2021 I'd suggest a stash of themed hats for this very situation. Christmas hats for christmas, easter for easter etc. That way you can make something cozy out of a slightly inconvenient situation
Noooo…nooooooo… the “classy move” virus is spreading 😂 As a professional wordsmith I cannot allow it. Magnus wears white dinner jacket & black tie to match = “classy” Magnus donates all winnings to Norwegian orphanage = “classy” Magnus makes a “sublime move” an “astute move” a “move par excellence” There are no “classy moves” MUST STOP THE VIRUS HERE😂😂😂
The dude, Magnus, is just playing with his food now.
Been playing with his food for a long time now ngl

James keeps the tempo
The moves at the end were imprecise because they're almost all premoves, each player is just hoping to flag the other player at that point.
I keep trying these Queen sacrifices against Stockfish, and I'm getting SLAUGHTERED. It's a bloody massacre.
Haha yeah maybe try with human opponents
I beat Lvl 25 engine every time but I must confess it is king+pawn vs. king. Otherwise, drawn or massacred.
This Magnus guy could be the World Chess Champion
Hahaha! "I landed a check...huzzah!" That one got me 🙂
I was really laughing when editing lol I have a lot of fun with it 😂
Slither/sliver? First time I've heard someone confuse those words.. Mind blown, indeed!

Zugzwang,
Not just any ordinary camel toe formation. All three pawns were passed pawns. Talk about a dominant position
How do we define a passed pawn. I'm 1300 and still don't get it
@@bz-winningitall no worries man. A passed pawn is a pawn that can never get attacked by another pawn and doesn’t have an opponents pawn in front of it on the same file that can blockade it.

I hope I explained that correctly lol
The most impressive camel toe since Pamela Anderson in Baywatch
@@thegorn Wow! That takes me back 😂
12:22 -- *"KAMIKAZE !!"* -- Nice *WORMS* reference !! :)
:P
.
haha what a game completely forgot about that game till you just said about it, loved that one
I think GM means 1600 to Magnus
pawns pushing around the major pieces and then the queen combo and finally the end game master
A sliver also refers to a tiny sharp piece of wood usually stuck in the finger
I think I watch your channel more than Netflix now! These players make much better drama than most TV writers!
Thanks a lot Paul and for supporting the channel, really appreciate it! Cheers
Camel toe pawn formation 😅 this truly is chess to the masses.
😂
Magnus plays like a cat does with a mouse... LOL
It's interesting to note that even Magnus 's intentionally ill-conceived moves do not backfire.
"Always get your bits out" 😂
An epic game PLUS an English lesson?! Cheers🎉
Yes. non native speakers have a lot to learn from him.
the toque is a giveaway...you must be posting this from Canada!
not gne lie that whole sliver/slither thing blew my mind ahah
It was 36C today and still currently 33C at 9:30 at night. Seeing you wearing a beanie inside is weird af. Hope it gets warmer for you soon!
Haha where are you? Not here, 4C here but also was wearing due to messy hair not warmth 😆
@@epicchess2021 Melbourne, Australia.
Thank you. I like your style, you have a great future!
Somebody needs to research your awesome language skills! Thoroughly enjoyed the commentary - more than the game actually!
Haha thanks a lot as always
As if they were both listening to three different songs at he same time, those last 15 moves. Loved the commentary. 13 minutes at the circus.
Haha thanks as ever seger
Didn't Carlsen just panic when black finally managed to drum up some counterplay? The bishops and pawns looked nice, but it was very hard for white to advance those pawns as he was so weak on the dark squares
This magnus guy could be the GOAT
What do you call the toque on your head? We call it a toque in canada.
Never heard that one, just woolly hat we say here, pretty dull ha. Sometimes people talk about beanies as well tho they slightly different design usually
@@epicchess2021 Maybe you can use it, like canadian toqueing the pawn instead of sitting on the head of the pawn?
We call it a beanie in America.
“He landed a check while playing with world number one”. Ha ha ha ha!
😆
1:26 this sounds a bit suspicious 😏😂

Haha I was just having a bad hair day quick solution 😂 but thanks for the invite 😁😎
I watched this. He can do everything. But sometimes he overstretches, because it's difficult to be superior to nearly everyone.
Anybody want a slither of snake cake?
😂
i can play that better at the end than carlsen did
If black would have played Te5 to attack the queen in stat of moving pawn to h6 Carlsen would have been in a world of pain ! He would lose pawns and position
What is Te5
Even when Magnus plays bad moves his opponent has no advantage...😁
I love this content man

Ooooh cause you’ve never misunderstood something.
Idiots like me
@@crumbopulis of course, but that?? How? Why?
I've done it with misspelling remuneration. We all have blind spots.

What's with the (ugly) tuque? ;)
Do you have a cold? Hope you get better soon. Love your videos.
Thanks yeah I do have a cold but also main reason I worse it is my hair was complete mess and I was on tight schedule to record haha
Why are you wearing a jelly bag cap?? Xmas is over, as is winter!
My hair was a proper mess lol
Quick question: Will you look someday at games at Prague Masters?
Yeah I covered a couple, Pragg vs vidit and Nodirbek vs parham, they are so unpopular tho it’s depressing!
