I can’t figure out why Hans thinks he is so young? He’s around where GM’s hit their peak rating. That means we might get up to +/- 2% for his “mature peak” which will likely not be 2800, not by a long shot.

@Epic Chess Have you done a notation on either the game where Vidit sacrifices his king for a time advantage, or the one where Magnus takes the king for a morning around the block, without realising he's paired against Wesley, barely a metre away from him? Exercise is fine. But there's a time for it, even as a monarch.
I feel for the long suffering Mrs Kramnik after she serves Vlad boiled egg and soldiers in his favourite pawn shaped egg cup, only to discover the yolk was hard. Vlad starts muttering under his breath and Mrs K hears a very faint "procedure"
Ok, one may say that there was too many mistakes, but only genius minds may create something on this mastery level with so many turnarounds based on human bad choices. Finally it was a delicious dish served on the chessboard and spiced perfectly by Mr James.
Hey all! Last few weeks this channel has switched the audio from English to Portuguese (my native language). Does anyone know how to change it back? 90% of the pleasure gone with the english
@@epicchess2021 Maybe they´re too much into mushrooms! ;) I´ve tried searching here how to turn it off too. Seems like it´s only happening with your channel. Hope I can bring the best comments in chess back to my day to day.
Hey man I don’t know what you did but it worked! Thanks a lot!! Missed hearing “is he a GM or a very naughty boy “ lol! Cheers just got my epic chess dose of the day
3:51 Is this even chess? Just look at that mess on the board 😂 In fairness I think I could end up with a position like this playing against one of my "top rated" friends.
Not interesting when there are that many mistakes on both sides. I fell for the clickbait (it's not a comeback, he was winning and started playing nonsense).

"That is a pawn structure only a mother could love". So true 🤣
Thats the funniest thing i heard this year
I jumped to the comments immediately after this epic line.
This was the day Hans found out his bark was worse than his bite.
He turned around so many games in that match and you pulled out so many of our favourite jokes. Thanks James.
Haha I need some new material 😁
@ I’ll see if I can write some for you, you got an email I can send them to?
I'm a chess casual, love this channel! Finding it really useful too ty
Thanks a lot!

I watched the first minute of the video on a 1.25 by accident, so I was thinking that you've drank far too much coffee before the video.
😁
"that is a pawn structure only a mother can love" 😂😂
1:14 Actual footage of me attempting to play a bot harder than Martin.
"and if you bounce back with the Queen..."
Hey yo, that's Botez Gambit
'Bags himself a pair of double F's' What a comment! 😂😅
The Hans Finegold meme is so cursed i love it
I can’t figure out why Hans thinks he is so young? He’s around where GM’s hit their peak rating. That means we might get up to +/- 2% for his “mature peak” which will likely not be 2800, not by a long shot.
He loves it when Kramnik whispers into his ears that he's still young during their 'yoga' sessions.
The variety of hair you put on Magnus is hilarious HAAHAHAHA
"Takes control of g5 but also i5" I laughed out loud and woke my partner up.
😁
9:39 "and if u bounce back with the queen, actualy the rock takes the queen" :)
“And here Magnus starts to mess up…” with 3 seconds left 😂
Hans across the water vs. Admiral Carlsey
5:10 We just have to trust our silicon overlord on this one...
4:49 what a banger song!!!
Kramnik the yoga instructor
What a fabulous game of chess!
Let's be real, if any of us could, ALL of us would 5:47
i didnt expect to watch this game today, but what an incredible commentary, as always!
Mute the video play music in the background, makes it 100 times better.

@Epic Chess Have you done a notation on either the game where Vidit sacrifices his king for a time advantage, or the one where Magnus takes the king for a morning around the block, without realising he's paired against Wesley, barely a metre away from him? Exercise is fine. But there's a time for it, even as a monarch.
Haha I know the vidit clip but don’t think ever analysed game but Magnus one I’m not sure reference lol but probably I know the game if shown
Practices for hours at training camp, visualizing the horse play
😂😂😂
GD it!
Please drop extended Club Mix of the techno song. I want a 8-minute version
Haha good idea 🤣
9:17, Magnus missed the opportunity to check the King and take the Castle. Can't believe he missed that opportunity.
no rook blocks the check
If you take the rook, the h pawn can promote.
Taking control of g5, but also i5. Took me a second. lol
you are hands down the best Chess channel in youtube
that's chess dawg

If he would team up with finegold this would be endlessly entertaining
Comedy diamond, James 😂.
My favourite septic cheese.
overall hans niemann showed some incredible skill, especially if you consider his age
hand on your knees-man
9:40 I think queen f8 loses for another reason! love your videos btw
Botez Gambit
Ah thanks haha and much appreciated!
He probably should've just sacrificed that queen and pawn for 2 rooks. There's worse trades in the world.

Some steamy make-up chess in romantic Paris.
lol orangutan clip.. top class as always Mr. Eating Chalk
Upload 7 minutes ago no comments? Bro fell off!
finally got your i5 joke.... took me couple of videos :D
Haha
Wow what an incredibly frustrating game. Magnus up, then blunders and Hans is up, then blunders and Magnus is up....then draw. Ugh!
Pooh what a cheese
My Epic Cheese is back✊🏿
You have to be very careful when you reference the i5 square; in some cases you will end up having to pay royalties to Apple.
😁 true
Isn’t it insane that Kramnik is hurting Hans’ image.
Not really. Only the short bus riders would apply that logic.
Hans is playing too well, time for Magnus to do the procedure and make false accusations
3:51 Is this even chess? Just look at that mess on the board 😂

Why have you auto dubbed it to Italian!?
TH-cam doing it sorry, I’ll turn it off next time

Tbh it was a really good game.
I got no idear how Hans didnt win that game.. All that vibrating for nothing 😢
