This was an enjoyable event to cover on both TH-cam and Twitch. I hope following along has been a fun and educational experience. I appreciate your continued support of this channel. ❤️ -Jerry
Actually, this is something Kasparov pointed out that throughout his career he always referred to his pieces as if they’re living, “my Bishop wouldn’t be happy on..” or “his Knight has a brighter future on..” etc. According to him it helped him play better. I guess it makes it so that the pieces are more than just bits of wood but something more personal.
Yet there were multiple clowns the other day in the comment section, some with dozens of likes mind you, saying "Carlsen has lost all respect, he's going to be humiliated in the tiebreaks" and other such trite nonsense.
iceshadow01 This is exactly why Carlsen should be criticized. He could have very well one in classical chess, but took the safe way out and defended his classical title by winning rapid games for the second time in a row.
Isaac W. I blame the system more than I blame him. He’s the classical chess champion. He could have won in classical chess, but decided to go for rapid. It was strategically the best play for him, but that really just means there’s a problem with how it’s set up.
@@BeyondFables I think its easier to say that as a spectator than when you have a large amount of money on the line. Id love to see people going all-in in a poker game every hand but its probably not the best strategy for the player involved. I think he did what he thought was his best chance of winning and it worked, I personally dont see anything wrong with that.
@@00bikeboy Nah, I just wanted to insert a Godfather quote :D. And NO! MC acted like Michael Corleone setting up a trap for Carlo Rizzi, only to be killed outside... MC was the one to win after all.
Better then his classical games. I heard Grischuk say there is a way of calculating rating where you use. Performance ratings (like you see on Lichess), and the use. Classical performance rating minus rapid performance rating. And he claimed Carlsen would probably be the only player in the world with a negative result (his performance in blitz is better then in classical games).
All the 3-0 rapid game victory did, was show that Carlsen is world champion rapid chess. We already knew that. Not saying he didn't deserve to retain his title, but I would have preferred a win in the classical portion of the match.
I truly admire Caruana for the prep work he did in the classic time control, he was obviously more prepared than Carlsen in the opening. However, Carlsen is a monster when it comes to naturally selecting the correct move. Hats off to both for an entertaining championship!
👏 can you imagine Carlsens prep work for the rapid. Finding game lines that confuses his opponents by splitting your decision making in two: what would the computer do? and what whould I do?
It wasn't a matter of Caruana preparing better. He played as good as Magnus in that time control. But he wasnt good enough in the rapid mode. I think its a bit disrespectful to attribute the 6-6 score to just good prep. Especially the way the games went. None of them showed any case of Caruana gaining anything out of the openings.
The way carlsen ended game 12 offering a draw relatively too early .. he appeared to be so confident in the rapid games .. well done to caruana who was always more prepared in the regular matches .. he must have worked really hard and wanted to win really bad. Most respect for these two geniuses.
You even had Jerry here, who is a spectacular chess analyst, SPOON FEED you a very good reason why Carlsen wasn't too confident in winning game 12 even with the time advantage. Yet over and over, people in the comments love asserting their takes on the matter, such as "he's cowardly" or "he knew he would just win easily in the rapid games". May have he been confident in his ability to win the tiebreak, sure, but saying that it's the reason why he let go of game 12 so early on is a myopia edging on stupidity.
@@aiGeis did you watch the post game press conference? Carlsen said that he had a clear plan of going for a draw from the start of the game because he liked his chances in rapid and so he wasn't looking for lines that would give him a win. He also admitted to being tired. I trust that all those things are true especially considering he was playing black against an openings nerd and didn't think he would getting winning chances if he played for a draw as he said he did.
Thank you, jerry, for your coverage throughout this WC 2018. While Carlsen retains his WC title, you do too, as you are still the best chess analyst in youtube. You are the Christopher Nolan of chess. You make a boring pawn becomes much more interesting to look at with your words. Bless you, man. Thanks! 🙏
Jerry, you are by far the best chess analyst on the internet. The pace of your videos is perfect and your insight is instructive for me even as an 1800 rated player. Thank You for all the time you put into your craft.
He made a claim in the first game or two (or three) that he could draw a position that Magnus apparently got all excited about in the endgame after Caruana made a change to the pawn structure. To be fair it was a drawn position still, but only with totally accurate play. The margin for error was reduced, it no longer became trivial to draw, whereas Jerry suggested it was still reasonably doable. It turned out it had some only moves that were deeper than trivial.
@@marowakcity3727 In one of the classical games Jerry made some comment like "even I could make a draw from this position" because it seemed like a straightforward draw, but later in analysis realized that he'd been overconfident - the position was actually much harder than it seemed.
It was important for him to win cuz nobody will say "Magnus sucks he lost the title", they will say "oh its ok he just played poorly" whereas in Caruana's case everyone will go crazy when he loses and make fun of him for challenging Carlsen, its a sad moment for chess indeed, although i was rooting for Carlsen i do feel sad for Caruana.
Owen Wilson umm.. I don’t think anyone will criticize Caruana for challenging Carlsen. Both are extremely talented to reach this level. Yes, Carlsen won, but it doesn’t mean Caruana is bad.
Magnus seeing the move Kg2 in game 1 with 30 seconds left on the clock and in the world championship match shows how truly good he is. class of his own
Game 3 "Rapid time controls, the quality of play will go down" Carlsen- 0,0,0, with -11 CPL In all truth, watching the classic controls gave me a bit of respect for Caruana- I thought Carlsen would draw him once or twice and then just slowly crush him the other games- The continual draw was actually interesting, and then there's Tiebreaks! "Oh boy!" I thought to myself. "30 minutes worth of rapid control- Should see some good play by Carlsen, can Caruana survi-" Game 1: Fabi Resigns. Oh...Ok but that was Carlsen with Whi- Game 2: Fabi Resigns. Oh..........Ok maybe some clutch defense here with everything on the line? Game 3: Fabi (eventually) Resigns ...... Absolutely crushing play by Magnus with just the slightest slip-ups by Fabi equates to our reigning WC staying on his throne. Kinda sad Karjakin didn't make it up the ladder again, maybe next Championship? Seems like he and Carlsen can have a War of the Bishops!
I really appreciated your informative analysis and feedback throughout this Championship. You have great insight and intuition and it helps considerably. Great coverage Jerry!!
Dr. Drunkenstein strikes again! Good going Magnus. I also liked that Magnus used the English opening in game 1 along a similar type opening that I like to use so it was fun to watch.
And so it ends. What a championship! Thank you Jerry, for covering every inch of it. Congratulations to Carlsen, and to Caruana. Truly two chess titans. Habemus victor.
Thanks for the coverage, providing so many instructive comments and unravelling how interesting/close some of these games were despite their deceptively calm appearance.
Man, you should do the live coverages. Your voice just fits the atmosphere of chess. I love your channel and it makes me want to learn chess even more!
Fun to watch. Thanks. I can't help but remember watching Carlsen doing that Berserker tournament thing a few weeks ago. That kind of pace training seems quite relevant now. -Jake
Jerry thanks so much for making these videos and for the streams! Must have been exhausting putting out so much content, hope you get some well deserved rest!!!
I remember coming home from high school and watching live chess on PBS channel WNET-NYC. Fisher vs Karpov. There was a chess commentator with with curly black hair standing next to vertical chessboard with pockets to hold the pieces in place. There were always a couple of other grandmasters, and another group from a university? with computer analysis. The moves were phoned or faxed backstage and relayed to him. Your clip reminded me of that time. Well done. Excellent analysis.
This was incredible. Thank you Jerry for providing us with fascinating insights into all these games. I wait exclusively for your videos on coverage of events like this. You are the voice of chess in the English speaking world and our first teacher for many of us. We appreciate you!
The best chess player cant lose at rapid or blitz, and guys dont spoiler too much in the comments, thank you jerry you made my last days with your amazing videos
Fantastic coverage again this year, Jerry! It's just incredible how you are continually able to livestream the game, and still work on and put out the video so quickly. Thanks for doing this!
This series no joke made me so happy every time I watch a video. Thank you so much for making Chess great for me and putting the time to create amazing analysis. Jerry you are a legend, and deserve a medal. I mean 7 people disliked this video? Those people must have a very bad life.
One thing missing from chess evaluation feedback is how many times each player forced an "only move, easy to blunder by taking a poison piece etc" Caruana threw so many poison positions at Carlsen and the play was brilliant. Great video
Thank you, Jerry. I really enjoyed watching your analysis of all the WCC games, I know there are many good chess channels on TH-cam; but this has always been my favorite analysis-wise. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for your coverage Jerry! I look forward to watching this every year and this is my third or fourth year in a row! You do awesome work and it really shows in your videos!
What are you talking about? fourth year in a row, the world championship is played every two years. Before it was played every three years. So who challenged carlsen in 2017?
Hey Jerry, I just want to say thank you! Thank you for your incredible well-produced content and especially for your coverage of the world chess championship! It is incredible to see how well you coment during the games and i know how much work you put into every video, I think I speak for all of us when i voice my appreciation for all of the effort you put into this since the world cup started! Keep up the good work, your videos and streams are one of the most enjoyable things in my life!
Thank you Jerry great coverage And the 2 that where in the ring amazing 12 games 12 draws wow took the champ to the 12th round take a bow this is what makes chess great thank you
I was a neutral fan until game 12 then I chose team Fabi. I really wanted him to snatch it in the last game. Bit gutted to see him get rolled in the tie breaks. Itd be a great story if hes there again in 2 years time. Chur for the coverage Jerry bro. My man!!
Thank you, Jerry, for your entertaining and educational coverage of the 2018 championship games. Your channel has enabled me to progress from playing on Stockfish 4 to play on Stockfish 6. Admittedly, it will take some time for me to jump to level 7. But, thanks again.
Now we know why Carlsen let the 12th game draw so easily! Thank you for the coverage - thanks to Caruana for putting so much resistance and thanks to Carlsen who finally won in Carlsen-style! He IS the best player, but that doesn't mean he gets an automatic win, it was hard work. Congratulations!!!
This was an enjoyable event to cover on both TH-cam and Twitch. I hope following along has been a fun and educational experience. I appreciate your continued support of this channel. ❤️

Great job.
Thanks.
your dedication to chess is unmatched. thanks for all the videos!
Yes! Where do i send my money?
This WCC is a tale of two people. For two weeks, we saw Carlson. Today, we saw Dr. Drunkenstein
Nice one!
That actually made me laugh out loud, good one xD
Calsen vs Dr. Drunkenstein wil be an interesting match ; )
lol
Carlsen only wanted to play with carowana #
You make chess interesting with your figures of speech like "the pawn asks the bishop a question"
Makes me imagine the board is alive
Thank you!
I view it as logical more than alive but to each their own.
The idea of having a pawn ask an opposing bishop a question has Monty Python written all over it tbh
true
@@@nomad5544
No. Nimzowitsch!
Actually, this is something Kasparov pointed out that throughout his career he always referred to his pieces as if they’re living, “my Bishop wouldn’t be happy on..” or “his Knight has a brighter future on..” etc. According to him it helped him play better. I guess it makes it so that the pieces are more than just bits of wood but something more personal.
Hard to criticise Carlsen for offering that game 12 draw after you win 3/3 tiebreaks
Yet there were multiple clowns the other day in the comment section, some with dozens of likes mind you, saying "Carlsen has lost all respect, he's going to be humiliated in the tiebreaks" and other such trite nonsense.

That draw offer in game 12 was an invitation to hell for Caruana
Maybe, but it was an invitation he couldn't refuse.
@@00bikeboy You're right. Thats why he was thinking long and hard on a decision that otherwise he would not hesitate
@@00bikeboy *an offer he could not refuse
@Kayumov Mansur Making MC the Godfather? In game 12 he acted more like Fredo 😃
@@00bikeboy Nah, I just wanted to insert a Godfather quote :D. And NO! MC acted like Michael Corleone setting up a trap for Carlo Rizzi, only to be killed outside... MC was the one to win after all.
11 average centipawn loss, 0 inaccuracis, mistakes and blunder that`s crazy for a rapid game, Carlsen sure deserve the win.
I agree. About the time mere mortals begin to wear down, Carlsen gets even stronger.
Better then his classical games.
I heard Grischuk say there is a way of calculating rating where you use.
