"Can you please set my clock to 5 minutes instead? I think better that way." 🤣

​@@mohamaddelkhahimagine candidates will be playing in blitz or even bullet all games to get the crown match lol

What a comeback.

I think Gukesh could’ve played a bit more conservative not sacking the knight taking with the pawn instead of the knight I think he would’ve been fine but he played in to Alireza’s hands in effect

Gukesh choked

​@@michaelmassaro4375sacrificing the knight was best move though

maybe, but for sure not the best practically ​@@Anish-im6ir

Exactly. The last game had me on such tenterhooks it was unreal. Usually he gives away a win by showing the best move and how the player doesn’t find it, but this game caught me so off guard it deserves a round of applause.

not nearly as good as watching it live though

Agreed. Master story teller.

Completely agree

Yeah great story telling by Levy here, but also great chess by Gukesh and especially Alireza. Wow!

Carlsen

“(Edited)” haha

bros good at chess but literally d rides the best

Had to translate to English 😂

Not magnus carlsen MAGNUSSSSSS

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I died laughing reading this

😂😂😂

LOVE IT!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Awesome awesome comment. Love this. Someone should actually invent such a gambit and then follow it up with a counter gambit called Hermes.

I thought he played that gambit in the previous round and lost badly. Today he went for the white collar defence and won 🤐

reel!

It's my second time seeing this, does he have a habit of changing titles or something?

The London is 2-0 this candidates and last world championship 😎

@@jimmyfrigginpageactually insane

He's the meme himself playing fixed tournaments to qualify for candidates and being ranked last

@@Chingbong1 not anymore

Now compare this London to what people play when they go for the same setup every game and just trade every piece. Night and day.

Couldn't have said it better mate

Indeed..but also mad insane respect for Hikaru. My guy is playing in the candidates and doing a recap after each game..

They're not high quality recaps. They're good videos, but with very little insight and explanations. To be fair he's featuring all 8 games in a single 30 minutes video, and is putting it out as soon as possible so you can't expect quality analysis.

There's almost no analysis beyond what the engine is saying. Anyone above 2000 could do this fairly easily.

He’s Great Agadmator is my Favorite but I enjoy Gotham a lot as well especially he covers all the games I liked Epic Chess a lot as well but with him it’s all Magnus I’m not into Magnus like that especially when there’s tournaments like candidates going on

You were mistaken.

And yet you would somehow be wrong.

​@@william_shakespearethank you, now I don't have to be the one to post that

Hikaru did, indeed, exist.

I watched live and I was shook

Was a great watch, hurt seeing Hikaru's lead dwindle

Nepo laying his head in his arms after another instant move from Hikaru was so funny to see .. 😅

​@@sb2hit was such an impossible conversion though. Like watching all 3 of the GMs on the commentary team working together to try and find the right move and seeing the eval bar drop after every idea they came up with was crazy.

@@jimai808 true true

@@jimai808 the difference of 100-150 elo between GMs is incredible.

HUNGRY! LION mentality that boy

That a french mentality!!!

Firouzja shows that when you are too lazy to prepare properly, you will not do well. Let's not pretend that his win was anything other than a lucky win against a player who imploded. He was dead to rights for most of the game. Even with that win, he is still aecond from the bottom and easily the moat underperforming player in the tournament. Alireza isn't last ditch effort at reclaiming anything. He isn't doing well.

Fischer wasn't wrong, chess is still a game of memorization, if not then we would've been superior to AI chess engines

@@thebiglebrowski3695 I'm not basing it on one match, I'm basing my comment on what I've seen from Firouzja over the years. The same reason Magnus said he wouldn't compete in the World Championship unless it was against Firouzja. The same reason that when they met in Chess 360 and prep was off the board, Alireza was leading Magnus before losing the overall tie. Also calling that an implosion from Gukesh is funny. He didn't implode. He played like a Super GM who is human. Meaning he did not play perfect computer moves and therefore gave an advantage to Alireza which he seized. Gukesh didn't commit any big blunder in the endgame. Just because you can see the perfect engine moves online doesn't mean you rate the players on whether they play that engine move or not. Nor does it mean they imploded if they don't have 99.99 percent accuracy. Gukesh played a very good game, but was overwhelmed in the endgame under time pressure by one of the best blitz players in the world.

​@@extremelynoobgaming4742 Even in chess-960 AI engines will still bend any GM over, just because they don't have panic, emotions factor. They'll coldly make the best move in the position, and it doesn't matter even if this move requires 50 more ideal ones in order to really matter. People just don't calculate that deep. But chess is, indeed, a game of memorization.

@@thebiglebrowski3695 I agree with you. Alireza must study a lot more chess. But, if any of other seven players of tournament (and maybe not Hikaru) had the same amount of preparation as Alireza, you would not even bothered watching their game! They would be some kids goofing around. But this does not take the chance of well preparation if one could have.

Must be heartbreaking for Nijat. Such a massive victory today, but still on last place

@@u.v.s.5583he draw, not win

He still shows too much of them. (Female matches, I mean, not the intros, which could be even longer)

Not true, also you people have no respect for female players

There I liked and disliked the comment between 5 and 1000 times ... Start doing pushups he said each like, not each unique like nor likes left on the comment.
