Carlsen's Unusual Double Sacrifice Baffles The Chess Commentators

Interesting ?

whats crazy is dubov would have tied in points with magnus if he wasnt penalized for the knight dance draw 😢 fide sucks

A bit of a clickbait title don’t you think?

Imagine playing against this knowing 100% you're gonna get styled on.

When did it happen? Can someone give a timestamp so I don't need to see the whole thing?

Love your commentary, I for once understood a high level chess game lol

so never keep your king behind 3 pawns on a row.

“Brank”

Good game

This is why Magnus got bored of classical.... He qas either winning or drawing... But with quicker times.... We get absolute bangers from lord Magnus.

He’s playing chess960 but if the random distribution happened to be actual chess

Brilliant.

I honestly never comment but, this video should have been a 30 second clip. I spent 30s watching and now another minute writing this comment and I still saved time compared to watching you slowly explaining a basic chess opening. Which I know had no information since you ended it with a fucking call to action.

I propose a rule change . If the pawns are stacked the back pawn can push the front and capture what’s in front of it

Seems like Magnus is at his best when playing blitz vs long games

I learned a new verb: To brank

1.5x speed. You’re welcome.

JLY

Absolutely unbelievable. It’s more impressive than watching a bot because there’s an aspect of beauty in these moves that you don’t get from even the best bots.

Just perfection

On the final standings board, in game 11 for Dubov and Nepo, what does the chessboard mean? Did they miss the game or forfeit the game or what?

"beating their heads against it trying to get advantage" eval shows ++ white. Lmao. Seems they found advantage... Two moves in.

Great breakdown, a treat to see how these upper level games are played

Back rank mate hurts the soul a little.

Very instructive game. Magnus sees far more than most super GMs!

Who can criticize not taking with the queen? After all, who wants to play an endgame against Magnus Carlsen when you are worse?

I wouldnt consider sacking pawns like that in an endgame even with time. Sick!

That was very impressive.

I want to watch more of the GM reactions from the commentators. What do they say after the second pawn did they get it? When did they get it?

Maybe make the hypothetical moves a different color?

Disliked purely because you interrupted the game at an interesting junction to thank your subs. Just thank people at the end like a normal person.

That's why they're commentating instead of playing.

Now I have no idea the ending magnus had Thank you.

awful english

That pawn rook threat is nasty.

i dont know how good the actual clip was, but it mightve been nice to see the moment of realization for the commentators when they began to see what magnus had done

Very nice game but you barely showed anything about the commentators' reactions. Bit of a click bait headline.

Playing that in blitz is insane calculation or intuition or both. Magnus actually understands computer lines.

On his best day I feel like he would actually have a chance against the computers.

Brilliant intuitive moves, clearly once of his best games in rapid problem solving

It feels like an anime that there's someone who is just consistently several levels above everyone else. Magnus is just built different.

Summarize the whole video
"Back rank checkmate suck!"

btw I think h3 idea is to prevent himself from getting backrank before it even exist

Being able to interject a bit of oddness/chaos into the game and then being able to quickly strategize around the conditions and uncertainty that may create in your opponent is a very unappreciated skill. Sometimes you just have to play from intuition and adapt.

Magnus is exposing these "super GMs" as just opening prep babies LMAO

Yo be honest this wasn’t all that crazy a sacrifice. I saw it coming and I’m in the low 2000s

Lovely, great vision.

are you talking that slow only to reach 8 minutes?

Yangyi got pulled out of prep and destroyed.
