It was not a difficult decision by WC. Either sac exchange for 3 piece and dynamic position (good for blitz) or anish wouldn't just have a solid advantage, but little counter chance for magnus.
@@randymctavish3728 i love Monday morning quarterbacks. it was a masterpiece of a game. you make it sound like this would be an easy choice in the moment, when Giri would be making you look silly from any position. this game was art well beyond just the sacrifice/imbalanced exchange. i’m a decent player, and this game had me scratching my head move after move. Even Giri was visibly confused at times.
The fact that he built a fortress around his king in which he can coordinate his attacks with ease just leaves me stunned. Definitely one of my most favorite games out there.
When you got enough pieces that protect everything and you can analyze it through, while your opponent only has queen and rock. Your opponent would propably not want to trade then at all.
imagine showing this game with all its piece coordination to a romantic era champion like Morphy or Anderssen, and then letting them know it was played at blitz controls. Magnus gives a masterclass at impossible speed
Somehow feels its a bit overrated. Not that I dislike Carlsen. But once you choose to exchange your queen for three minor pieces, thats what you ought to do. Put the two knights in a position where they defend each other and away from the opponents pawn range. Not just versus queen, if you are facing a rook versus 2 knights scenario, thats one of the default strategies. To have your knights protect each other and then use your king in a more aggressive role.
@@indianfan1029i’m with you, but i still think it’s ballsy. losing a queen in any game (unless it’s in a trade situation) is pretty scary. this is an extremely unique game we’re watching right here. Magnus sacrificing his queen didn’t even seem like an inconvenience, but more just part of the overall plan lol.
@@indianfan1029 I mean I still think it's impressive tell me how many people can coordinate their Three pieces this well in a blitz game a against a Top GM it's obviously impressive
The queen is the most valuable piece being abel to do most in the board, but when the queen is not abel to attack the king without getting sacrofaced herself. The queen becomes very wortheles piece in the chess game.
This is why many players who early attack with the queen lose, because they dont get to attack the queen or eat anything valuable, while their queen gets all the time threathen and so they dont want to lose their queen, so keep moving it, while the other player just keeps developing his pieces to get big advantage, when the other player wasted so many turns with moving his queen around trying to attack and get through.
I come back to watch this game periodically. Imo its the most beautiful game I've ever seen. Breaks nearly every rule that I am aware of in chess and still wins.
@@oskain not going to watch it all again to remember the rules that were flouted but just in the first few moves; brings the queen out early and he moves the same piece twice in the opening.

@@savagehalt1555 He had 2 knights and a severely underdeveloped bishop: not 2 bishops and a knight; so he had an even worse situation. Most players would lose with those 3 minor pieces, but Magnus is just too clever to lose in such situations.
It seemed to me at the end that Magnus defensive moves also attacked and his attacking moves also defended. How did he do that? Way above my pay grade.
Unbelievably beautiful strategy from Magnus. That he saw the path to that coordinated position 10-12 moves ahead of the point where he sacrifices his queen is amazing.
One of the things that's so striking about Magnus on defense is how willing he is to play ugly moves when necessary to hold his position together, and somehow untangle later . For a short while it seemed like Giri was piling on the pressure and forcing some concessions and it was hard to see how Magnus would get coordinated. Yet a few moves later Giri's initiative had completely evaporated and his heavy pieces were unable to make a credible threat. And of course that's the quintessential Magnus style, but to see him pull it off against a 2700 in Blitz time control is something else.
@@p41n8 I would assume it’s a cultural thing. Here in Scandinavia we tend to use first names regardless of how well we know someone, unless it’s a foreigner that might get offended.
I have watched this game LIVE, the analysis twice from different channels, and the 4th time I watched this I still get goosebumps and immense excitement and pressure even though I'm not the player. Just shows how phenomenal this game truly is
One of my favorite Magnus games just because it showcases a different set of skills which he possesses but which are often unseen due to his prowess in other parts of the game
Yes this is why chess is so complicated game and its very hard to master chess, when it got so many angels to look at the game and so many ways to analize, when you dont exactly know always what your opponent will do. Your pieces can be very well connected to be also connected, when you do make an attack and so its complicated in chess where to find the best move in your position where ever piece are defending eachother.
But also objectively, Giri played some dubious chess,, pushing pawns on his kingside?!.. that gave carlsen huge initiative to attack,,, if you up a queen, you don't waste moves pushing pawns in front of your king, you need to get the queen up and running, targeting weaknesses and the uncastled King, while trying to prevent coordination of the rooks and minor pieces,, but great play from magnus, really bold to go for a questionable queen sac,, but in shorter time controls those type of queen sacs work
Amazing. I know he's the greatest chess player in the world, a grandmaster, the highest rated player ever, the world chess champion etc. but it is always amazing watching Magnus play.
It wasn't a comeback. I don't know how but the game was just plain domination. Just some uncertainty in the midgame when both sides are trying to open up the board to their advantage.

At the end of the day these two are the only thing that matter in chess. All the goats (Morphy, Tal, Fisher, Kasparov, Anand and Carlsen) know/knew that, it's incredible to watch
Perhaps this is the greatest game I've wacthed live in chess24 in my entire life. In this era, it's really hard to play like Michail Tal. But Magnus just gave us very entertining show there
6:22 That's an original chess puzzle right there. After so many years of documented chess, knowing that pro players can still ignore theory and just go for artistic chess, it's the reason why we are still here watching.
It’s interesting to think of the journey of a piece in a game as beautiful as this. In that moment the rook had nowhere to go but backwards and that’s the rook that cleared all of Giri’s pawns forcing him to have only 3 pieces against Carlsen’s 7. Beautiful
Magnus doesn't believe in fortresses but that was an epic formation he build there, all his pieces defending both each other and the king and every move is coordinated with the other pieces, really showing how 3 pieces is better than 1 queen.
@@vander9678 the best way to think is not like the chess engine, you need complications and its almost impossible to spot a move that makes sense 30 moves later

The way his pieces attack and defend is amazing. I've never seen something like this before. This man is the greatest chess player of all time by a pretty good margin if you ask me.
Behind letting the Queen go was a sacrifice of calm waters of relative safety in exchange for a courageous dive into an unknown abyss. And that's beautiful.
that's why i love magnus, he always goes for the most interesting variations. other players would've just played it safe here, especially since it's with the black pieces.

@derek To be fair, it's difficult in blitz to start analysing lines during the game. Often there's just not enough time to be doing that. They'd be helped a lot if Kaja just wasn't involved during the matches at all though, she jumps in every time something complicated's happening and adds absolutely nothing to the commentary. Derails what little time they do have to explain things.
I keep coming back to this game every once in a while and it amazes me everytime. This was just pure genius. One of the best games I have ever seen. Tells me the importance of fortresses!

Magnus is on the next level player of Chess & so far from his any opponent. He is the Best in all format. He is the mixture of Positional Alekhine, Sacrificing Tal, Strategical Kasparov, Brilliant Fischer...❤
Incredible. Absolutely fantastic game. You can see Magnus’s creativity and flair going for something risky but entertaining. Bowled over by how clever this was.
I started playing chess some months ago and watched quite some videos, if there is one thing i learned by these videos, it's that when magnus sacrifices his Queen you have already lost, you just haven't realized it yet.
This was defintiely one of the better games I have seen in a while. Queen sacrifices which are equal in material AREN'T bad but it's always a mental danger to do at such high level as 3 pieces can easier make a mistake than 1 piece. Yet, MC has the confidence (and ability of course) to do it at this level and hence why it looks so nice. Very well played! :p
The Defence was insane how knights, bishops and rooks were defending the king at same time threatening the opponent and even manage to get a new queen Anish Be like how do i enter this defence

Definitely my favourite online rapid game. I can't imagine how useless Anish Queen was when Magnus finally found a way to coordinate those 3 pieces leaving Anish no chance of winning or forcing a draw at all. It inspired me to try it and it somehow worked. I'm still in complete disbelief that this was two years ago cause it feels like yesterday, I'm watching this live.
@Ricky Smith I don't watch, play, nor know enough about Roblox to form an opinion about it. It's not my field of interest. This is a chess video. I suppose ignorance is bliss 👍

Commentator 1: "Magnus is under check, the king is highlighted"
Commentator 2: "Wow"
@derek swear to god.
@derek the female speaker was a bit of a pain in the ass
@@thesavageclips She is always annoying. Either being super smartass or having no clue what's going on. She shouldn't be commenting..
@derek To be fair, it's difficult in blitz to start analysing lines during the game. Often there's just not enough time to be doing that. They'd be helped a lot if Kaja just wasn't involved during the matches at all though, she jumps in every time something complicated's happening and adds absolutely nothing to the commentary. Derails what little time they do have to explain things.
He could have thought it would be a bad idea to cast a "jovanka" 😂😂
What an artistic ending.. the way the pieces were working together is just mind blowing.
I keep coming back to this game every once in a while and it amazes me everytime. This was just pure genius. One of the best games I have ever seen. Tells me the importance of fortresses!
Absolutely shocking watching the kings protection play out. Every piece, every possible situation accounted for. Chess can be so beautiful to watch
Magnus is a deadly player...Even if any of these new players of this generation beats him in a game or two he still not on their level cos no player of this generation would venture into such sacrifice against a strong player....He is the best and always will be..
Theres always someone better but he is just so much more known and that he is already World champ keeps him on top so yes and no
@@frederikchristiansen8121 nobody is better currently...Dude is attaining an FIDE rating of 2900+ which is his target you're saying otherwise....For now nobody is better
@@CalculationNation i don't think now he can get 2900 fide rating in classic, he is slowly going down i don't why but it seems he is struggling now in 2014 to 2018 he was absolutely beast he crossed 2880 fide rating and created history
@@v.k.sharma9240he just won FIDE world Cup 2023 🙂
You watch these guys play and you just feel they are on a different level. This guy Magnus, he is amazing.
Cause they are
@@OneDerscoreOneder I guees so.
Do you have any idea who this guy is ?
This is imo some of the greatest chess I have ever seen. The way Magnus pulled the strings so that every piece can attack while also be there for each other like holy shit .. not to mention this is blitz
A chess masterpiece which shows how far ahead Magnus is from other top GMs.
Magnus is on the next level player of Chess & so far from his any opponent. He is the Best in all format. He is the mixture of Positional Alekhine, Sacrificing Tal, Strategical Kasparov, Brilliant Fischer...❤
Oh.. really? :)
And endgame of Capablanca..
@@tretihory he mentions exactly for abilities for each man.
Mwgnus's Queen is that character that seemingly dies early but comes back alive to save the day!
Incredible. Absolutely fantastic game. You can see Magnus’s creativity and flair going for something risky but entertaining. Bowled over by how clever this was.
YT: How many times would u like to watch the match?
Me: YES!!!!!
A fortress defending the king. The beauty of the defense, superb
Wow hands down one of the best chess games I have ever seen, I always love seeing the weaker pieces teaming up on the Queen
everyone thought he's gonna lose, but then suddenly realize that he's Magnus
The Viking shield-wall...there you go, a name for that badass crib he built for his king
Brilliant game! I have watched this so many times! Magnus makes it look easy lol. Thank you for putting the PGN in the description!
The queen sacrifice speaks for itself.
🤓
That was wild. Chess is awesome
Many ways,many,tricks,many many many.!!
I started playing chess some months ago and watched quite some videos, if there is one thing i learned by these videos, it's that when magnus sacrifices his Queen you have already lost, you just haven't realized it yet.
because he has already predicted all his and your moves...😂
Best of the best bill!
No if you play against Magnus you already lost, you just haven't realised it yet.
@@denzeldestiny8083 sadly no fanboy. Many defeated him and are better than him.
@@qeiejxdld6302 1. This is 2 years ago. 2. Im not a fanboy 3. No one js immune to losing. 4. Your wrong because he is the goat
Unreal Chess. This man is from another planet. He is just having fun
Does it drive anyone else crazy that they are literally seated at the same table and not playing over the board? XD
This was defintiely one of the better games I have seen in a while. Queen sacrifices which are equal in material AREN'T bad but it's always a mental danger to do at such high level as 3 pieces can easier make a mistake than 1 piece. Yet, MC has the confidence (and ability of course) to do it at this level and hence why it looks so nice. Very well played! :p
What a beautiful game. Magnus was playing inspired
I love playing chess and admire these guys. I can't even fathom how their mind is able to see that far ahead. It's nuts!
I guess by countless hours and years of repetitions and playing tournaments.
Also high iq and a chess mind
The Defence was insane how knights, bishops and rooks were defending the king at same time threatening the opponent and even manage to get a new queen Anish Be like how do i enter this defence
I've watched this loads of times and it still shows up on my suggested videos section. So I watch It again. Amazing.
That king just sitting in his villa is the most beautiful chess structure I've seen yet.
Every single move by Magnus was defending and attacing at the same time. That's why he is more than a chess player he is an Artist as well
The immortal game of our times
That bishop c4 then rook e6 move was just so simple and beautiful at the same time.
J'ai regardé beaucoup de parties mais celle ci dans sa conception est à mettre dans le top cinq des plus belles jamais entrevues, cet homme est réellement un génie honte à moi d'en avoir douté l'erreur est humaine, que dire d'autre !!! Amicalement
Winning a game like this against a super GM is just extraordinary. This game is a clear candidate to be an "immortal" for the precision of attacks and defenses !
I'm sad for all of those who will never percieve the beauty of chess to this extent
Jeez that felt like a real battle at the end. I'm new to chess so this was awesome to watch!
Chess at its highest level. No person can play this type of supremacy and coordination, even fischer or gary cant do that stuff.
New era will always surpas the old
Actually no, PC’s are way better than magnus, a pc is rated 3600 of elo,
@@miguelcamacho2304 do you realise he says "no person"
@@brendansun6606 Take your outrageous bigotry somewhere else! Not even recognizing computers as people? Shame on you. History won't treat you kindly!

Definitely my favourite online rapid game. I can't imagine how useless Anish Queen was when Magnus finally found a way to coordinate those 3 pieces leaving Anish no chance of winning or forcing a draw at all. It inspired me to try it and it somehow worked. I'm still in complete disbelief that this was two years ago cause it feels like yesterday, I'm watching this live.
I have watched this more than 50 times. Awesome game
magnus is literally unbelievable! there are soo many pieces and he somehow manages to take care of all at once!
GOAT for a reason!
He is not goat..he is a superman!
This was poetic. I'm amazed to see a match like this
@Ricky Smith You don't get it. Maybe one day you will. Look at it from a different perspective
@Ricky Smith I don't watch, play, nor know enough about Roblox to form an opinion about it. It's not my field of interest. This is a chess video.
I suppose ignorance is bliss 👍
The way Magnus protected his King is otherworldly!!! 🌎 🚀
That defense is so unreal... Defending while attacking... WOW
The way Magnus can defend every possible scenario is amazing, what a game
So in the end who win bc i didn t understand why they stop playing
@@GhostAvengerGR- Magnus won
Now this is just next level… I was getting so bored with chess, players repeating the same lines over and over, but seeing this… 😳😳 fuckin amazing
Everytime I watch this game I get inspred to sack my pieces and lose horribly lol
Magnus really created one of those crazy puzzle question with his pieces
Those pieces form Magnus showing us that no matter how strong or good your opponent are, three or more head can be better if there is teamwork and cooperation
Magnus has the attacking credentials of Kasparov but the positional mastery of Karpov. Frightening.
