Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion

The way Magnus makes his 'way of playing' chess seem like it is normal for GMs to play that way is astounding. He just keeps coming up with weirder ways to annihilate his opponents. Unmatched endgame tactics, lovely to see.

Alireza rockin the space crocs

Did Magnus just show us mere mortals the IMPOSSIBLE LESSON: the superiority of the two knights over the two bishops in a semiopen position where the bishops are usually the better pieces.

3:35 Thank you for literally making me laugh out loud nearly every recap. Bravo, sir

Epic Chess is becoming my favourite recap channel. I just wait for all those metaphors, anectdotes and colorful language to kick in. Agadmador has his own shtick but this is next level recapping

Great recap, funny quips and pics. Thanks for another, cheers

Magnus is so confident in his end game that he has no problem getting there on his terms. He initiates the exchange of all the major and minor pieces! Brilliant!

If you're not at 100k subscribers by July 1, 2024, I'd be surprised. I (almost) always enjoy your reviews.

I really like your commentating style. Great watch. Great channel. You will blow up for sure. Cheers.

Magnus: I make my own stones.

End-game grind from the end-game goat.

Magnus' positional understanding is next level

Aero bars.... "The process of manufacturer was patented in 1935 by Roundtree's in York,England"

I watch Agadmator every day because there are some things I really like-well spoken, very strong name annunciations, routines, interesting knowledge, and he doesn't push his opinions (like with Hans), and he plays chess like someone who isn't an expert. I like him and his channel Some things I don't really like-he goes too far on tangents which are confusing, he never replies to any comments (that I've seen), he never mentions channel that may be competitive to his, he doesn't show videos he didn't make. You seem like a corrective action. I like that you mention others and their videos. You even show others videos. I like how tangents are in a different visual setting. I haven't watched you long enough but wouldn't mind watching you play a little. I like your videos and am rooting for you. I do have one thing that perhaps someone could think of. I think the openings of chess can be better organized-almost as an outline. Fifty years ago I learned all the planets by "man very early made jars stand up naturally, period". I learned that every good boy does fine. I learned many lists like this. I think chess opening could be organized and learned better with little tricks. It would take a lot of effort but I would love a video of it. I lack a good enough knowledge to do it myself, or I would. I haven't played chess in decades. I've never played on line. In high school I won every tournament and played against other schools and beat them. I haven't played since but watch videos almost every day for the past2 or 3 years.

I don’t play chess but enjoy your channel and commentary. One thing I have noticed is that you nearly always say the best move “is”. You are basically quoting the move most players would play and Magnus doesn’t play that move and usually wins. He defies convention which is why he is so enjoyable to watch.

Caruana's KID prep actually

At 4:17, why not bishop h6, and then queen g7?

10:56 So inspirational 🤣

Yez! Magnus is the GOAT. And you are doing the best analysis! Love it!

Magnus' baby dragon

Esse chapéu do Wesley So e esses tênis do Alireza… essas cocas são Fanta!!!

Wow what a game

Daenerys went mad in the end though. 😮

Thank you for your awesome videos.

I'm a mere mortal and a chess prodigy (prodigious blindness)

Wesley just outplayed I just wonder what goes through Magnus’s mind as the game is being played he must be the best at getting passed pawns going definitely one of his strengths passed pawns and end game Thanks for the Game the pics are mad cool I enjoy how you add those things in to spruce up your dialogue Cheers James

Great video

"Everything is from the States"

Great game. thanks. Needs more Gary bashing imo. YOLO etc.

10:00 if white pushes c7 black has a forced win

I don’t know where they come from, but yes in the states we have some bars with the fancy aero/foam/science cocktail stuff going on.

reminded of a Jonathan Speelman game.Forgot which.

At 10:40, why not bf6?

You saved my marriage. The word play here is so damn saucy I started using this format on my wife and it's working. I just started elongating every vowel and it's working like a charm. ;)

Magnus is real goat❤ 🐐

FERRARI the F pawn ?

Wait, I'm a somewhat noob but why never f3?

While Alireza is farming elo at the local chess club

We do not have the king of chocolate bars, Aero, in the US. The chocolate here is terrible. Whenever I go to Canada or the UK I bring back candy bars for the kids. Sadly, many do not make it.

when it comes to magnus I say he is so good because he does not know what everry Russian schoolboy knows, this is a great example we all know that two bishops are better, than two knight, he does not, we all know that a bishop is better than a knight in an endgame he does not. Thanks James.

In the states we say everything's from china

x1.5 speed you're welcome :p

Better check with Kramnik

3rd

First!

Magnus and Kikaru effect - no invites! Did he cheat?! nope. Stupid chess nerds that bully the most talented US player.

Hello! I love your channel, but can you cut down on the click bait?

Those not them pieces. Speak English boy!

At 2:31 you said "Like a Mark Wahlberg Sniper". Could we instead say "like an asian woman ready to poke out your eye with a chopstick"? After all there are no weapons involved in chess so what you said doesn't make sense.

Everytime i watch a chess commentator theyre always 🤯 by what people play, even with engines at their aid. Im bevomming a bobby fischer about professional chess. Kinda bs when i think that this person (albeit someone of a good rating) is doing chess commentary, a 500 fide player could make the same quality videos since they both use engines.
