One of the best-annotated chess game videos on the internet. Although it may seem boring to other chess enthusiasts, if you're dedicated to improving your chess skills, Jerry's channel will surely deepen your understanding of chess.
The quality is as always absolutely top notch. I wish every sport -which could be analysed in such a fashion- had a Jerry. You can feel that Jerry is self taught every step of the way. The way he highlights things and explains chess is truely remarkable and shows his skill: Understanding chess and presenting it logically and with structure. Never too little, never lost too deep in engine lines. I learn something every time and he certainly contributed a lot to my rating ! (and my addiction)
Jerryyyyy, you've outdone yourself! This analysis is impeccable. You teach in such a clear, patient way, and I learn so much from you. I'm grateful to you for being such an amazing teacher. I would love to see you commentate tournaments live. Fans would find the concepts even more clear and approachable. You illuminate every concept you teach.
It’s a fine line between chess servant and chess master. Games like this make me think they are in fact one and the same. You could not describe Carlson as aggressive here, and yet there is no backing off. This game exudes ‘chess confidence’. Jerry’s instructive analysis provides insight into critical moments.
Just want you to know how excellent your explanations are as a beginner this was incredibly informative it just helps to think it different ways awesome job thanks so much! "How and when AND WHY to simplify" my biggest issue.
Imagine the pressure of playing Magnus. Even with a pretty wild game, he evidently made 1 inaccuracy. You literally have to play perfect (according to engines at least) to win!
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 "might" "have a chance". Your first mistake is to contest an opinion that says there's a chance that Magnus has a chance. You're gonna need some pretty hard evidence to deny there is even a slight chance. You'll pretty much need to prove it's impossible. Your second mistake is to assume Magnus would play the same way vs a computer. His, and other GMs preparations are about finding positions that will be hard for a human to solve under time pressure, not positions that have no counterplay. It's pretty reasonable to think Magnus would play a slow manouvering position versus computers. That way, he "might" "have a chance".
Great analysis! I've watched several of your videos and I consider you one of the better analysts. Clear, interesting style. I play the Catalan and have faced that bishop check on b4 many times. I block it with my bishop and my opponent either immediately captures on d2 (most common) or protects the bishop with Qe2. I've never faced a5 before, so I was very interested in this game. I have to study that line.
It's because: without e3 played, if the F knight captures after Qc2, black can now capture the undefended pawn on d4. White could then still win the pawn on c4, but I think extra value is weighed on the fact that d4 is a central pawn.
One might say that the whole game turned on getting the Catalan bishop into play. In the final position it finally comes to life with ruinous effect. Boom
As always, great analysis Jerry! Carlsen is such a beast!! When i saw whites b3 i thought black had some decent counter play. 4 or 5 moves later it's all over 🤣
I was watching Jerry last night while I fell asleep. I had a dream we were playing a really good game but he stopped playing because he got bored with my moves. I got mad, woke up and turned off TH-cam to get back at him for deserting our game.
Isnt 20. Qd1 a super computer move? At the time it was played no one understood it. It was a total computer line that magnus found during the game which why shakhriyar tweeted that magnus can beat engines or something like that.
Not really... With the bishop moving to e6, adding a defense to d5, d4 is now hanging, as white would no longer have the skewer with the rook to win back the pawn on d5. Magnus added a second defender to a pawn attacked twice to avoid giving away a free pawn
Only critique is SHOW YOUR MOUSE!! Makes it so much easier to follow for the viewer and easier for you to show certain details instead of having to literally move the piece . Still awesome recap I’m hooked
I have seen hard games and understood them well, but this is way too much level from Carlsen to me, it gave me a headache. Only could understand b3 by your instructive analysis. More importantly than how many moves you can "calculate" is to think properly and evaluate those few on critical moments. Thank you, Jerry, very instructive.
Bishop takes knight and threat od skewer is still there unless say rook takes pawn on b5, but after knight d2, black pawn on c4 is gone, and white is better
It's English notation. Can't use K since it's used for King already. Some earlier notation systems used Kn or the squares ie. b1-c3 do indicate a knight move, but N is standard today.
Hi Jerry I want to invite you to cover the Karjakin - Van Forest game from round 6 of this tournament. It was a really nice positional game in the Italian that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. Thanks 🙂
@@akaruicrest ra7+ doesn't look good to me, what if black blocks with bf8? If white tries ree8 then just nxe1, and even after that it looks bad, e.g. rxf8 kh7, rxf7 qxf7, bxf7 c1=q and black has a queen for a rook. Is there something in the middle I'm missing? Main problem is, I don't see how to prevent c1=q I think instead of ra7+ at the start, rxe7 wins a piece, doesn't it?
Do you necessarily think that limiting the opponent's options helps you? If you are confident of which the best line is, why don't give your opponent a chance to make a mistake in evaluation?
If you have seen some alpha Zero games it is obvious that limiting opponents options does help. The way it stops counterplay is out of this world as well as its ability to blunt opponents pieces.
When there is only one correct move, finding that particular move would be more difficult than when there is a lot of other options. So, your opponent will be more likely to make mistake. Unless its obvious, no one can be 100% sure which line is the best in most situations. Why giving your opponent more options if you know a certain lines would ended up puting you in good position? In many situations, limiting your opponents options could prevents them from executing their plans.

@@OutstandinglySteve No he did not, If you start with E5, he always moved the night to D5

Amazing. You feel like Mamedyarov has plenty of counterplay up until the last few moves and then suddenly it all comes crashing down!

im fairly new to chess, but why at 2:00 does Nfxd2 not work after queen c2? what about that position doesn't allow the same exchange as after e3?
It's because: without e3 played, if the F knight captures after Qc2, black can now capture the undefended pawn on d4. White could then still win the pawn on c4, but I think extra value is weighed on the fact that d4 is a central pawn.

Why not play Ne8 immediately after e5? I don't see any clear follow up how white can punish severely.
Thank you Jerry!
Excellent explanation!!!
At the moment where magus plays b3, I wonder why you didn't look into ra6 followed with Qa4 instead. Those seem like the obvious moves for me.
Nice video!
Very well done. I really appreciate it.

Forever thankful for you Jerry!
I knew you were going to cover this one!
Interesting that mamdyerov had a slight edge until he played passive with h6
At 15:30 why did Mamedyarov not take the knight first instead of taking the pawn? No more skewer then...
Bishop takes knight and threat od skewer is still there unless say rook takes pawn on b5, but after knight d2, black pawn on c4 is gone, and white is better
what a game, nice recap
"n" for Knight? Is this an American thing?

a3?

9:09 could not white knight go to g5 and then queen c2 to h7 for the win????
Bxg5
😂😂😂😂
This is way too long to wait for another video. You ok?
at 2:09, can'2 black bishop be captured with f3 Knight as well? Why use b1 knight?
he used f3 knight no?
Is there a form of chess in which capturing a piece allows a free turn?
well i guess you can capture a piece while checking the enemy king so your opponent is forced to defend and cant recapture
That's stupid because once you get out the queen it's basically game over.
Thats an interesting idea because it would remove trading from chess.
That sounds like a rule I would make up at 5 years old to swindle my grandma 😂
Most intersting game for some time . .
It seems to me that if rook takes f2 pawn instead of resigning he might have had a chance, no?
