Before finishing the video, I just wanted to say thank you Mr. King! I remember when I first found the channel, watching your coverage of the 2012 world championship. All these years later, and all the computers in the world don't diminish the beauty of the game of chess. Something a computer could never invent independent of the great human minds that conceived it. Very happy to see Mr. King going as strong as ever, the best hair in chess hands down!
I watched this live, so could not guess the move. I would not have gotten it anyway. I do not watch your wonderful recaps to learn what happened, but to deepen and cement my understanding of what has happened. Thank you for that Daniel.
It always seems like Magnus is using his knowledge of the past to guide his opening choices of the present. It's as if he's asking his opponents..."Have you studied the Taimanov/Fischer/pre-Fischer era as well as I have? Let's see..." Not as well, young Erigaisi. I see. Much to learn. Much to learn. A trip to Dagobah would serve you well. I received my "Anti-Sicilians" book in the mail yesterday. It looks fantastic! Congrats on the new book GM King! Now, I have my set complete, along with the Kalashnikov book. Recommend them both. Who doesn't love the Sicilian opening?!
@@paulgoogol2652 There are a lot of similarities between Sicilian variations. Just one of which, is a point GM King brought up in this video...that endgames tend to favor black.
I did not divine the move and opted for Ba3. Amazing, how Magnus can stay at the highest level for such a long period. It was nice to see how the fight raged on.
Magnus is different class. All these top players are brilliant, but Magnus just has that extra X factor. It's absolutely amazing 👏 👌 and thank you for explaining it so well. To be honest, I didn't understand half of the moves Magnus made!!! 😮 I just thought he was nuts!! 😳 😅 😅 but he just showed his brilliance 👍 👍
I think you have hit the nail on the head. Very often, such materialistic play, losing time, would be fatal - but Magnus appreciated that on this occasion it was possible. In general, amateurs take material into account more than the factor of time.
Winning in style while committing one of the seven capital sins: playing with split rooks! Does this mark a change of paradigm in the channel? 😁 Wish everyone a good week!
It is strange that the best and one of the most active players in the world does not want to be the World Champion. Why? Because he is bored with one on one matches, I suppose.
It's the format he hates. With the advent of computers it is incredibly difficult to get an advantage in World Championship play because GM's memorize tons of computer code that thinks for them. They don't have to think on their moves until the game fizzles out. Competitive chess should be about a human playing a human. The match loses a lot of its prestige when the games are made of iron and cannot be broken through. Fabiano Caruana got a draw in every classical game against Magnus but lost very quickly in rapid games when he had to think for himself because he didn't have time to go to his prep.
@@winfredj9820the comment was on computer chess. Fischer had noticed very early where chess was heading and I respect him most for his foresights and offering Fischer random as a solution. learning computer lines is very boring imo and if I wanted to watch computer chess I'd just run Stockfish on my phone..
@winfredj9820 Not really. The masters of yesteryear had to do their own analysis for prep and didn't have a computer doing all the thinking for them. AI is a powerful tool when used in design for instance because it enhances beautiful creativity. In chess, however, it takes all the hard work out of analysis and bridges gaps in reasoning that you used to have to know and understand intrinsically. Thats why players like Morphy and Capablanca were so revered. They essentially developed incredible strength just using their own ingenuity and calculation ability. This concept is not even debatable in all honesty.

Form is temporary. Class is permanent! That goes Magnus and this channel.
A master class in how to play the Sicilian. We’re so fortunate to enjoy Carlsen’s unique brilliance.
Incredible recap and explanation. Really appreciate it! :)
Thank you!

gxh5 is a move that only a genius or an idiot plays. What a wonderful positional understanding Magnus has.
Yeah that move looked so ugly I don't think I could bring myself to play that at all 😂
hahaha well said!
Thank you, Daniel.
Wow! Simply wow! Carlsen is the king of chess.
wonderful show!
A terrific game really brought to life.
I didn’t see …gxh5! Ty DK!
Excellent analysis as always Danny. One word. GOAT👍👍👍
This reminds me of the great Viktor Kortschnoi. He often took such pawns and defended in this manner.

I'd say erigaisi doesn't like it quite so much now ; )
what sicilian? taimanov, najdorf or sveshnikov are so different that I don't think they can be compared.

@@LateCloser It's all about structure!
This game is amazing ice cold
I've noticed that Mag always wants more Queens for his army !

Great year for Carlsen. Great coverage, Daniel.
Magnus' confidence is huge !
Great video
Hey Mr. King! I was wondering what you would suggest as an ambitious/dynamic try for titled seekers against the Spanish? 😊
Against The Spanish? Not my problem! I love playing the Spanish for White!

I guessed Ba3 too -- seemed like the most logical/obvious move
But maybe it's bc I watched WAY TOO MANY of your videos, and I've adopted your style 😂
The mysterious Rf8 was useful - while maybe not critically needed? - against the B*h5-move not played (at 13.52)
Erigaisi is still very young. He can improve more. We need more classic chess videos of Arjun Erigaisi.
Every patzer would have played Bxg2. Just taking a free pawn! But when Carlsen plays it, it's incredible! ;)
I think you have hit the nail on the head. Very often, such materialistic play, losing time, would be fatal - but Magnus appreciated that on this occasion it was possible. In general, amateurs take material into account more than the factor of time.
because every patzer knows the patzer opposite would be intimidated by Bxg2. I know I as White would be intimidated by Bxg2🥵
Magnus to himself: "Today I'll play like Seirawan", taking the pawn on g2
Carlsen using all four corners of the board to secure the victory. Impressive!
Thanks for the video!
According to you, is there any real competition coming against Carlsen ?
When he wants, he is so much better than anyone else.
The God tier is a bit helped to get on His way with two minor moves, isn't He? (a3, and the blunder with the rook.)
Winning in style while committing one of the seven capital sins: playing with split rooks! Does this mark a change of paradigm in the channel? 😁 Wish everyone a good week!
Yes, the rooks were split, but in the end both succeeded in activating. This was an exception that tests the rule - but doesn't break it.
a3 by Arjun indicates to me he's probably not one of your 108k followers.
Bishop, a3

@@matrix31003 not sure i agree. Prep and memorize is always been part of chess.
