@tatsuyasigh1906 2 года назад

Magnus really took his time to calculate everything when he had a winning position. Meanwhile, Nepo blitzed out moves in critical moments. Before c5, there was the option to play b4 instead of bxa3, but Nepo just instantly grabbed the pawn. He played c5 with some 50 mins on the clock vs 15 for Magnus!

@8461529 2 года назад

@Christopher Bradley he lost one time in the candidates (2nd time was the last game where he already was decided winner). I think it's different in WCC because of frustration of having to defend for 6 hours and lose. Nepo is very impulsive and plays impulsive chess, however this match he tried entirely different approach. The best scenario for him was winning before Magnus, this way he wouldn't tilt. But unfortunately he lost and isn't able to keep his cool, I hope this WCC will teach him to improve his psychology, because before 6th game he played almost perfect chess and after 6th game he isn't himself.

@jullianmolina8842 2 года назад

From the Philippines, keep up the excellent work, Levy! :)

@Giovanni1972 2 года назад

I watch the game live, listen to all the commentary, and the multiple recaps. So I can attest Levy gives the best summation. He has the right balance of deep line analysis compiled from the many sources I spend hours listening to, delivered in an energetic, entertaining teaching manner catering to the 1200 level (which is most of us); even his off tangents comments are perfectly balanced with pedagogical effect, (his fast talking allows the quick interjections that don't distract from the main teaching material). As a former teacher myself, I give Levy an A+ both for content and, of course, who gives better effort than Levy? We certainly can count on him. I jumped in his live this morning before he did this recap, admitting to us that he didn't do it yet. But I knew with high confidence that it would be here, as sure as the sun is expected to rise in the morning! With much gratitude, I salute you! Belated happy birthday. May you live long and prosper.

Amazing content. I am glad you are so balanced in your recap and not just attacking the players for their blunders. Thank you for the research you do and all the time you put into these videos. There is a reason why you have 400k+ views after only 16 hours of being posted. You do a great job.

@jacklhorton9 2 года назад

big thanks for all the effort you put into the recaps levy. also great to see sincere apologies even for honest mistakes, honestly things like that are the reasons i enjoy your content so much. thanks again!

This content is unbelievably good so quickly after the game. You're really out doing yourself, Levy. Mad props!

Nepos been such a trooper during the press conferences and stuff. I can’t imagine having to answer for my blunders on a global stage. I’m blundering queens and he’s missing tactics/positional endgames but still

@BlueLily342 2 года назад

This game really shows that everyone is human. Even an amazing super gm like Ian can still miss a one mover.

@johnmurphy5428 2 года назад

Magnus’ play reminded me of the opening dialogue from John Steakley’s Armor: “You are what you do when it counts.” Aptly, the main character calls his alter ego “The Engine.” Congrats to Magnus and thanks GC for the commentary.

@Christopher Bradley why do I get the feeling that is the same thing as saying Mahomes is coming for Brady? LMAO 🤣

@Thesamurai1999 2 года назад

@Christopher Bradley I disagree, Alireza is good and could beat Magnus in bullet. But in classical chess Magnus crush him, this includes all the top 10 players.

@dreuaustin 2 года назад

He really is. He's on another dimension! What's awesome is that you can literally go back and watch analysis on and endless amount of brilliant games by Magnus.

Hola! Gracias por el video! Soy de los que trata de seguir el campeonato desde distintas plataformas pero de igual manera veo completo tus recaps. Solo una sugerencia, podrías esperar la conferencia para tomar nota de la apreciaciones de los jugadores. Por ejemplo, Ian dijo que no se dio cuenta que c5 fue un error hasta que Calsen jugó c6. Gracias por todo el esfuerzo y dedicación!!!

@JohnVDenley 2 года назад

You are awesome! Discovered you after game 6, now I can't stop watching! You did clickbait me yesterday, but I could tell from the thumbnail that it wasn't a current game! I wish I understood chess better, your summary videos have really got me excited about learning more, you make it seem so much more accessible! PS I wanted Ian to move B3 but I thought it was en-passant, so I'll have to have another look at that rule!

@vladboycko2893 2 года назад

@itsbreezy2521 2 года назад

I feel what Magnus did dragging Nepo into the depths of hell in that game 6 classic where he slowly tortured him to death really psychologically broke Nepo even though he maybe thought he could shrug it off. He was playing so accurately before this and since then despite still playing fast a lot of his speedy aggression since then has felt like a bit of a bluff, then the blunders on top of this.. just brutal.

I watch your recaps after watching the matches (all the way to the end) because I want to truly understand what was important. And what I missed. You always do a great job and I look forward to you continuing the good work!

14:15 b4 was literally the first option by Vladimir Kramnik that he proposed 3 second in. That's just shows the class of the man.

@RiteshKumarMaurya 2 года назад

21:43 Correction here: Magnus has to play h5 so that th night can go back to h6 after f3, otherwise the night will be trapped, so h5 is pretty much forced. He said after the match that he missed Qe1 by Nepo as it blunders the b7 pawn.

@robkirchhof133 2 года назад

Magnus and Ian both saw b4 and Magnus even stated, that the best reply after Nx Rb1 would be b6. I think this was after the game or in the PC.

@Mstrmiyagi1 2 года назад

For what it’s worth I really did enjoy the recap of Magnus’ old game. I thought it was very smartly done showing it alongside a simultaneously playing game.

@d03smynam3ma11er 2 года назад

Start of with complimenting the new haircut of Ian. 23 minutes later complimenting Ian for his sportsmanship and hoping journalists gives him a break. Meanwhile in the press conference journalists are asking if the new haircut is a clever reference to how Samurai would cut their hair as a sign of shame after their losses.

@basiceclair4195 2 года назад

Shout out to Levy for owning up to a mistake he made. I don't personally see it as *that* big of a deal, but takes a lot of self discipline to publicly admit fault when you feel it necessary. Love the vids man

I've seen this game online from Karpov, Karyakin, Kostenyuk etc I've seen a lot of reviews from others reviewers and a few days after when all noise is gone I ran into your video and I'm shocked I mean the way you explain position, how good you are with these metaphor. Looks like you in different universe with your rich and energetic speech. Im from Ukraine and don't know english well you are supposed to be less understandable but it's not. Great review, thank you.
