For those new to chess, or just unfamiliar with tournament chess, and unsure who won this game, here is how you can tell. In this game, and in most major chess tournaments, the players play on a DGT board. DGT boards are electronic, and have sensors in them that allow them to detect the board position and to be connected to computers and the internet, so that the moves can be recorded and the game can be relayed for live viewing on chess websites etc. Using this type of board, the result of the game can be indicated by placing the kings in certain configurations in the center of the board at the end of the game. Placing both kings on black squares indicates black won, placing both kings on white squares indicates white won, and placing one king on white and one on black indicates a draw. These configurations were chosen to indicate a result, because by placing the kings directly next to each other in the center of the board an illegal chess position is reached (one king cannot attack another since doing so would place it in check), so there can be no ambiguity that a result and not a real chess position is being indicated. In this game, at the end, the arbiter places both kings on black, so therefore black (Carlsen) won.

Grischuk is such a character. The way he ALWAYS looks at the clock continuously towards the last 30 second rundown of every game is hilarious.

Grischuk : "I don't know how he does it." Carlsen : "I don't know how I do it."

Magnus' sigh of relief at the end was priceless.

JA hace 2 días que aprendí las reglas de este juego/deporte y por casualidad puse éste video para ver como era una partida por un campeonato a gran nivel . Lo que aprendí luego de verlo y de leer los comentarios es que no se necesita ser un total neófito para ver una partida y no tener idea de lo que pasa

Wow!Thank You for this information! I would have not expected that there is such a system.Great!

Too fast for me. I would need a calendar, not a chess clock.

How many Picasso are hidden in the crowd...

Albert Einstein is spectating the game. Top right corner.

@MagicianPugh Very good, so what would be the best openings in your opinion for both black and white? ie.what openings would you find strongest when playing with white and black??

CARLSEN I LOVE YOU

Where's the digital board that pops-up over top?

This is the type of video you want to see. A fixed camera that show the players and pieces really well.

your can find the game here www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1599832 where the last moves are included in the comments below....

FYI if anyone is ever confused who won a game look at where they place the kings at the end. They place them on the color of the winning side.

Great player

Magnus's end game is devastating

Whats the name of the opening grischuk performs as white, with the bishop on white and then the castle kingside, whats the name of that opening??

No sé por qué dicen que perdió Carlsen (negras) si al final el árbitro puso ambos reyes en las casillas centrales negras. Para los que no estén acostumbrados a las reglas de torneos blitz, si ganan las blancas, los reyes se posicionan en casillas blancas; si ganan las negras, ambos reyes se ponen en casillas negras; si es empate cada uno estará en su respectiva casilla. Vean al árbitro en el 9:20

cant see the clock :(. Oh well thanks for filming and uploading to youtube!

whats the external device attached to the clock?

Carlsen has no need to concern about blitz tournament result, because he is now an official world champion. Quick rating and blitz rating are nothing. The world top chess scene only cares about regular rating and ranking.

Amazing endgame. Carlsen's face says it all.

After watching this game, I wondered: Is it required in blitz and maybe standard games, that you must hit the clock with the same hand you moved the piece with? Both Carlsen and Grishschuk don't use their left hands at all. I did not think this was the rule. but perhaps times have changed.

La posicion de Carlsen siempre fue dificil de jugar pero aun asi se fue manteniendo vivo con jugadas que aguantaban.Al final su velocidad fue determinante

For those who did'nt notice Carlsen won, if you pay atention at the end Grischuk plays when he saw the clock, then Carsen realised the flag on Grischuk clock... the expresion in Carlsen face was a release because Grischuk was better so he said: "sorry" at the end!

I think this channel should at least put an overlay or annotation showing who won at the end of the match because sometimes its not clear who resigned or did they draw or something. It is better than putting it on the description which could be spoilers.

After the game, end why are the Kings kept in the middle black squares? Is it a convention or something? I've noticed this in quite a lot of games...

impresionante

Grischuck = blitz beast

wow what a great plan by grischuk with h4 and g4 after that carlsen had big problems

Good job on keeping camera steady, no zoom in & out. but the angle could be better perhaps from a corner, better depth of view.

very good

grischuk süper man

@MagicianPugh Thanks a mil mate, trying to learn some openings for some chess comps between colleges, thanks :)

Carlsen gana por tiempo...y un gran suspiro...el árbitro marca negra y triunfo.

What was he doing at 9:21 ?

@crazysaps No problem, The same pawn move from black is called a Sicilian defence! known as one of the best defences from black! Study the English, and you will get a good idea of what to do when on black! Very good on both sides and my Favourite opening from white!

did carlsen said sorry at 9:18?

Grischuk won just because Carlsen had no time. Grischuck's face is like "clock saved me, I'm lost" hahahaha

Why did the official put the king in the middle at the end ?

GOOD QUESTION!

am big fan a magnus

4:57 a little distraction there.

Por si no es evidente no son tablas, gana Carlsen, porque con su rey podría comerse los peones de Grischuk antes de hacer dama, mientras que al contrario no.. Grischuk no puede mover la torre, con su rey no llega, etc.. y como dice otro usuario por ahí abajo, al acabar la partida el árbitro sitúa los reyes sobre escaques negros, que indica que ha ganado el jugador que jugaba con negras.

what win??

the looks of the spectators

@crazysaps Its a matter of experience, playing what you know best and what your opponant might not know as well as you do! But i guess if this is a start, on white play pawn to e4 first and work around that! On black, look up "Kings Indian" against a white D4 opening and look up the "French defence" against a white E4

Does anyone of you know the name or the brand of the chessboard?

I watch these games but mostly cant figure out the one who wins..

huge brains do not mean that someone is more intelligent

increible

who wins??

Carlsen could very well be the greatest rook-pawn endgame player of all time.

who win?

this is a great illustration of how we lose game. DO not bring coke beside you!

ela

no Grischuk resigned

People who are smart enough to keep their money safe. In crowded places like that you could very easily be pickpocketed if your wallet is in your back pocket. It is extremely difficult, however, to pick someone's wallet out of their side pocket without the person realizing what's going on.

Who won

I do. Cannot be picked and you dont have to sit on it. I've never understood the back pocket thing.

Lotta old people out there!

did anyone notice that when the vid goes from black and white to color it seems as if both players are stunned because of the light?

scusate ragazzi.... ma chi ha vinto???? e perche???

What happens if one of the players doesn't have enough time to play ?

We didn't see a clock, but obviously they run out of time, cause Magnus pointed at the clock. but who lost, I carefully examined the waiting periods between the moves of both players, and had the impression that Grischuk had one longer period of thinking than Carlsen, so I think Magnus won on time

interesante la partida

quien win

well done carlsen

The old enemy of Carlsen.... Time.

was it a draw?

No, the kings on the middle on the same color just shows who won, Wether it'd be on time, resing or mate.

darn clock!

No its not, I got the answer already. Its a radio frequency reader that tracks the moves and transmits them to a screen/central computer. Each piece has a micro-chip.

you are sweet chessvibes

Omg who won?

The video started in Black&White, then in colour and at the end I was expecting 3D...

4 a.m. and I watching this video. I am a freak.

Time out!

Alexander Grischuk ( Rússia ) Vs.Magnus Carlssen (Noruega).

Calsen win or loss ?

Quien ganó?

he wiped it on the tripod too nasty

@6irvin6 he won on time, grischuk points at the clock

No, Grishuk ran out of time. Carlsen didn't realize it, but there isn't any point in continuing to play when you've already flagged, so Grishuk pointed it out to him.

me too :(

alguien me puede explicar porque gano carlsen? por el tiempo o por que ,

This game: www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1599832

ragazzi c è qualcuno che puo rispondere???

You are just as normal as I am. :D

Carlsen won or lost?

@gabadiel They had color all the time

@wisdomfall the left guy won.

Quien gano

poxa

yes :) thats what I ment.. I believe ,,,lol

0:11 - 0:13 they seem to like each other.

this so awsome

that was me last night

For all of you who don't know the result: GRISCHUK LOST ON TIME. Look at how the judge places the kings on the center black pieces.
