Carlsen's Unusual Double Sacrifice Baffles The Chess Commentators 

Haha I definitely said that a few too many times at the beginning. Only realised after when editing. Too many beers last night maybe!

​@@epicchess2021as long as u aren't drinking beers in a closet too

💯

@@AB-tc8lx This objectively can’t be true.

@@AB-tc8lx anyway, what does any of this have to do with us watching a living legend now?

@@AB-tc8lx sounds like a really sad life. create something of your own.

​​@@AB-tc8lxdamn, what a sad life studying for someone not even considered the best in the game anymore huh. Magnus curb stomps him tbh.

Hehe, yes, valid point. Funny because there really is something in it. Have a thumbs up.

@@arthurpewtey“have a thumbs up“ 🤓

@@lasse9252you are watching chess comtent, the most stereotypically “🤓” thing possible, you don’t have a place to say that lil guy

But then has 20 years to blunder by thinking Lebron James is the best basketball player ever. Go figure.

@@DonTrump-sv1si maybe he's not a basketball expert. 🤔

I would guess he does not really calculate often and much on the spot during a game, I would say he just got like a inner sense, he can see the positions, he feel the field based on so much prior calculations and experiences more than anything most of the time...

​@@DonTrump-sv1si😂 who cares

@@DonTrump-sv1siLebron is pretty much up there Michael Jordan has the title since he has 5 or 6 rings

Funny you’re right tho I know there is one gentleman that doesn’t speak English very well or not overly articulate says that ‘and now he moves the Bishop’ and after that ‘and now so and so responds by bringing his knight to … and so on it’s funny because as you say I’ve come across commentators of Chess that use it it’s like saying ‘you know’ after every sentence ‘you know’ 😅

As I read this he said ‘and now’ in the video lol

I get pleasured watching him use his plow.

genious indeed

Sorry yeah you’re right I missed a trick there

Oh cool that’s a great story

I’m confused. How did they not know the result when they were speaking to Byrne?

@@8964TS in this channel's "Bobby Fischer's 21 move brilliancy" , at Fischer's 21-...Qd7 , a very quiet move indeed, the game was over by resignation. The commentators were congratulating Byrne, because they only looked at the material imbalance, they thought that Fischer had resigned. But Byrne told them that it was he that had resigned and not Fischer. Then he proceeded to demonstrate the winning variations after 21-....Qd7. Another game with a deep combination that comes to mind is Larsen-Spassky, USSR vs Rest of the World, 1970. In his book SPASSKY'S 100 BEST GAMES, Bernard Cafferty commented that most people in the audience did not see Spassky's brilliant coup de grace 14-....Rh1

what a menace

It's not sub optimal , it's simply making his opponents out of their comfort zone. His knowledge of the game is second to none.

ONLY BECAUSE Magnus decided not to defend a poor format tournament

Oh thanks not in chesscom database tho!

thanks a lot and to you!

agreed 👍 this is an excellent channel ♥️

Thanks a lot! And to you too

Magnus would win but then it isn;t an even contest because he was walking on Fischer's shoulders, and Kasparov and Karpov etc. when he learnt chess, so each generation gets steadily stronger ALTHOUGH I think next gen will do well to be better than Magnus

I've always been curious if cloning will be used for that, even if it's underground. Stuff like prime Jordan vs prime Lebron or prime Fischer vs prime Magnus. Perhaps even quantum computing AI being able to replicate their play styles and personalities.

Nerves probably.

Always runner up

thanks as always, Michael!

Thanks a lot!

haha thanks very much Rex, very kind and generous of you, appreciate it! And yeah my wife says similar things to me at times 😆

Thanks a lot! Glad you're enjoying

thanks and you! and yeah what a game I thought

yeah true!

yeah! Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed

Ya same here for me, may or may not be because I don't know theory but that's beside the point.

​@@gabeellis2265I think the "disrespect" video titles are indicative of this "off theory" strategy - they are not known theory but if Carlsen wins - and reliably he does - it's Carlsen theory that appears to be working even if it's misunderstood.

Oh well double pawn sacrifice I meant

Thanks a lot! Glad you're enjoying

yeah lol I took the doors off haha, the worst thing is the echo in here. And thanks a lot yeah don't dawdle! Cheers for watching

English! Would have must have

Magnus is playing N-dimensional chess when everybody else is playing (N-1)-dimensional chess. Magnus can just see one move ahead of everybody else.

Thanks a lot appreciate it!

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed

Qf6 walks into a pin via Bb2, the Knight on c3 is now attacked twice, cannot be defended and cannot move else the queen will drop, also note that ne2+ is ineffective as the Queen simply takes, maintaining its defense of the b2 Bishop, furthermore it may create the potential for further overloading tactics/ pins in the future eg. ...qf6 bb2 (Black moves) Bxc3 and now only qe6 or qg6 can both be met with bg4 or be4 respectively. TLDR the Knight will get pinned and be captured probably with tempo, as well as just overall discoordianting Black's pieces. Hope this helps.

Haha Happy new year!

Gary? I thought there are no more Garry's in England and his name is James? Oh well, I'll find out soon enough if I keep watching this channel.

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed

haha Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed!

Thanks a lot for the feedback and glad you're enjoying! Yeah I try and get a balance but more on the side of sticking with the main game for sure. Cheers for watching

its not an ego thing, its just the depth of analysis - 95% of the commentary on this video is pretty straightforward for a lot of people

Giving a bit of ‘luft’ (air) often held yeah!

😂😂😂 whata video that is one of my all time faves

Ignorance

especially referenced in latest video !

Ah apologies yeah they did soon after when c4 was played

@@epicchess2021 thanks

See my chess drama climax video as quite long to explain, yeah they were docked a half point for match fixing

Thanks Paul really appreciate it and the channel support, very kind. Sorry for the delay replying!

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed
