What is this? I don't what it is about Magnus but he is a breath of fresh air for chess. Guy is funny, unintended not of the time though. Great observation. Have you seen odd karate chop video, that made me laugh.
You have to be pretty adept at chess just to read the board. I've tried watching chess matches with commentators and they'll get all excited about something and I don't know the game well enough to understand. They'll see a checkmate or draw coming 10 moves out. Its not for the casual observer.
Had Hikaru used the Pendati variation after his ninth move, he could have mated in 9. Had he used the Emsinger Gambit he could have mated in 11. I dont know jackshit about chess but I can make up some "chessy" names
They're so friendly towards each other, always smiling and it looks like they're having so much fun. I bet they'd be a right laugh to hang around with.
Magnus was about to kill the knight at 19:58 but he instantly saw the other knight which he will be eating back so he stopped and prepared another trap for the queen, brilliant magnus

Interesting editing. After Game 1, you can see Carlsen reaching for a handshake. But then cut to a different camera angle where Nakamura is grabbing the pieces. It's not immediately obvious that the camera switch cut about 2 seconds of footage. So It kinda looks like he left Carlsen hanging. But he would never do that.
Di Menit 23:11 sebenarnya nakamura bisa di chek mate oleh Magnus, yaitu dgn Benteng makan pion di depan raja, kalo benteng dimakan raja, maka Menteri skak raja kemudian kuda skak mate
I dont know about you guys, but every time I play chess with someone, I take a person with me and tell her to cough in that way, I feel like I'm in a chess championship :D
Didn't know that Magnus Carlsen was the World Blitz Chess Championship 2019. 23:45 for reference. I knew that he was the champion. But to be a championship, he's on another level.
just came here from Magnus' youtube reaction video to Queen's gambit final game, he is really so cool and funny hahaha i love this genius man so much, i dont play chess professionally, i just play it sometimes with my classmates in friends whenever we feel like it just for fun but seeing how intense a game could be and the stakes on hand, wow, its a real battlefield of great minds. SO COOL! Congrats Magnus Carlsen. indeed the best we've ever had
I somehow know how to play chess, but why Hikaru didnt move his King here 11:56. Isnt it check by black Rook? And what happened at the end? Draw? Then why they didnt play for time? Sorry if these are dumb questions.
The wonder of modern tech enabled chess to become an expectator sport and create a much bigger opportunity for chess players around the world for a realizable sports career . Gens una sumus!
I feel kind of bad for Hikaru and other super GM's like him, they got unlucky being born at a similar time to the freak of nature, once in a few hundred years, super genius type of player that is magnus. In a different timeline the world championship would be at least a 3-4 way fight instead of the dominance reign of magnus.
Hikaru said it himself that it’s pretty unlucky that he and Magnus is playing at the same timeline and that the leaderboard would have been completly different if Magnus werent there lol. He even said that there is only one living player that he is jealous of and thats Magnus!
It's similar to feeling bad for all the great teams and players who could never win a championship ring because they were unfortunate to have been in the same era as JORDAN.

At 10:33 could magnus have not won a pawn? If he captures the rook on a2 first he pins the c2 rook so hikaru would have to trade on a2 leaving the c1 rook free to capture the pawn on c3?
Let's Fun Yeah. When your opponent has ten seconds on the clock, of course you are playing the strong moves you already found. No need to look for better moves. But Magnus in god mode would still be expected to find it.
Could someone please explain to me, at 10:40, why didn't Magnus move the Knight to D3 and chess the King? King would have to move, then Magnus takes rook on C2, if White takes rook with Knight, then White loses both rooks, if white takes rook with rook, you can play rook and Knight around and you get 1 piece advantage in the end. I'm not even pretending to be at a level to doubt Magnus and his moves, I just want to understand, what am I not seeing?
Rook at a4 doesn't take knight, he's protected by the other Knight. Rook at a4 moves to a2, threatening to take the rook at c2, if King takes the Knight. Then you have one rook and two Knights, with the king in check, that's a pretty good advantage. The only clean trade is if the white rook takes the black rook threatening at a2, then Knight goes to c1 and checks the King, taking the rook. Which is what Magnus probably saw, and now I have my answer 😂
Magnus missed a quicker way to win in the end after blacks move ..Nbc5. It's a forced mate after Rxh7+ Kxh7 Qh5+ Kg8 Ne7#, or, Rxh7+ Kg8 Ne7+ Kxh7 Qh5#. This surprised me a little, I thought this was the reason he played Rh4.
