FIDE WORLD CUP FINAL: Magnus v Pragg | Who'll Win the Toughest Chess Tournament & $110k | Tiebreaks 

Id like to say that the inteviews for this tournament have been really good. Also nice to hear players tell us the game as they saw it, instead of ambiguous stuff

Posing such a big threat to magnus the #1 player is something anyone should be really proud of Pragg truly is future world champion material

Really wanted to see Pragg to win but Magnus is the goat

Just want to say how enjoyable it was to listen to Peter and Dania throughout the entire World Cup. Two charismatic, intelligent, professional and engaging chess commentators.

Magnus finally completed chess.

And with that win,his title collection is finally complete!!! Congrats Magnus👍

Prag is young and a future chess champion .....and magnus he also have crossed this stage so this is the lesson for prag and he have learnt something new from...proud with both of the champions 🎉

I started playing chess three decades ago and i remember i was eager to play the sicilian with black (especially the Svesnikov). Unfortunately, all those woodpushers inevitably went for the Alapin...and they crushed my soul so badly that i started to push the c-pawn just one square up. The C-K served me so well that i never played the sicilian again (except one time, because i was sure my opponent wasn't going to play the Alapin!)

Hope leko will stay a long time commentating. Him and Danya are awesome.

PRAGG played really well at his age there is still a long journey and many things to come for young PRAGG 🔥🇮🇳. Best of luck to future chess champion. 🏆

It was interesting what Magnus said about Gukesh. He said he was his strongest opponent in the tournament.

Congratulations to Magnus Carlsen for winning the world championship 😊 Nice try Pragg.. 🇮🇳❤️

Its actually crazy how these chess players decide their next move by analysing every possible moves of their opponents before they even place their knights like they even know by the mid of the match that who has more advantage and who has less . It's seriously a mind game.🤯

I'm an Indian and would like to congratulate Pragg for having reached thus far.. but I wish my fellow country men would show a little bit more sportsmanship 🙏...congrats to Magnus for finally winning the world cup

I have become a huge Magnus fan this last decade. Thanks for the killer games Carlsen. You passed through some fire in this tournament. A pleasure watching you + or - these past few weeks. Well done to all the players. Awesome commentary by all the commentators. This is truly a golden age of chess.

Though I am an Indian, still would thank Magnus for shutting down those toxic hypernationalist spammers who make live chat unbearable.. And proud of you Pragg, your time will come..

Congratulations to Magnus, yet another feather in his cap. But what a run from young Pragg, hats off to his grit and determination. He will climb greater heights and this by itself is an achievement he should be proud of.

I absolutely love the chat after the match between players. I think it’s such a great act of sportsmanship. Brilliant.

I took an afternoon nap. Just when I was waking up, I saw visuals of Magnus smiling. It was a sign of much awaited victory. Congratulations to both!

Magnus with Black completely shut down Praggs white bishop, it didn’t move at all in the final 20-30 moves. Then with Black for the win he literally only used 19 SECONDS of his time to draw the game easily. It isn’t even close, this guy has been ill with food poisoning for most of if not the entire tournament and he EASILY beats Pragg is such Magnus fashion, the GOAT

Indian lad is still on learning mode & showed a great character- Magnus came back strong. Pragg is the future champion no doubts about it.

Really high praise for Gukesh from Magnus! Strongest in classical among this generation of youngsters. Pity Gukesh was just unlucky to face Magnus in quarters. He deserved a candidate spot. So did Vincent imo.

Magnus goatt completed the chess 🎉😮

What a game Pragynand played. In the end, it was time pressure for Pragya. Magnus always kept time in his hand in crucial last moves. This is experience.

Gracious of Magnus to give credit to thr great team of Daniel and Peter. They enhance the experience.

Caruana saying he is excited about playing the next generation is one reason why Fabi will remain near the top. A true competitor.

Pragna is not done yet. Once this guy turn 20s or something. He will be unstoppable. He will completely develop his mind. Anyways.. congrats the GOAT Magnus

Prag the young talent fought the king of 64 square Magni like a giant….. Taking magni into tie break is the win for prag such massive impact… I Prag moving ahead to journey to be world champion in recent future on the footsteps of vishy Anand….👏👏👏👏

Magnus was great, esp defending during stress period. Well played pragg.

Magnus the Chess goat and Leko the commentator goat

one million indians spamming pragg in the chat all along, and magnus wins first with black pieces decisively quite a funny picture, then when danya asks him impressions after the end he says the event was not his top priority

What an interview with Carlsen. Absolute top notch.

il serait bon de voir la partie sans les commentaires et les coups du présentateurs , on ne sait plus ou en n est la partie

Amazing performance by the young Pragg!! Congrats to Magnus on his world cup win!!!

Pragg is truly one of the chess players of the world

Finally completed that game. What now? Start over at 1500 FIDE and do it again, Magnus!

Congratulations to the champion Magnus and bro prag you did great!! keep going!

Aw, Péter clearly still wanted to say something there at the end, but Danya didn't realise it :/ I think this was a fantastic event to watch. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the chess24 coverage and immense congratulations and respect to the winner. Hearing the story behind Péter's samurai sword was a great moment. Always appreciate it when seeing such openness among commentators and athletes.

Terrible broadcast screen setup where you are forced to see the commentators commenting on computer play ideas, often with no view at all of the live board or the live overhead camera. Absolutely hate it. I didn't come to hear Naroditsky and Leko with Magnus vs Prag in the background !!

Congratulations Magnus. I hope he comes back for the next one.

It would be awesome to have an equal size Live Board without the live play by play being done. Id like to see what the players are seeing, not so much what you have to draw on the board.

Praggnanandhaa has beaten Magnus Carlsen many times before. When he was 17, First in February 2022 at the Airthings Masters - an online rapid chess tournament. He thus became the youngest to beat Carlsen since he became world champion in 2013. The second time was at the Chessable Masters online rapid chess tournament on May 20.

Brilliant commentary. So insightful. Thank you so much for the coverage of this tournament

Magnus is just simply better. Their isn’t anymore further explanation needed. Just leave it at that.

Amazing Finals. Such a phenomenal run by Pragg, Magnus completing his successes with the World Cup win. The absolute best World Cup I've seen. Well done, understatedly, all around for Magnus, Pragg, Fabi and Nijat.

deserved win for Magnus 💯

Всё замечательно

Pragg aus Indien sollte nicht zu traurig sein,denn Er hat den Weltranglisten Ersten nicht besiegt. Aber Pragg hat bewiesen, daß Er dort zu spielen hat. Wenn dieser nach Indien zurück kommt, mögen Ihn doch viele Schachsportler am Flughafen freudig überraschen und im Fernsehen wäre ein guter Bericht auch nicht schlecht

Prag made india proud 👏👏😍

The game begin at 24:35

Magnus : 1 Pragg: 2 Fabi :3 Arasov:4

A few more years and prags game will be more solid and matured. He will be a force to be reckoned with on the chessboard.

Great commentary and organization; so sad the the best view and close up of the Live game with the players was obstructed by terrible placement of the graphics (ie at 9:00) over the playing board?!!

Pragg going to the candidates! Maybe next world champion!

Magnus to Pragg: "Your time will come, let me still have my time in the sun....because when I'm done....I'm leaving the chess world in your hands.....just like how Anand did with me..." Big props to both players and congrats to Magnus for finally winning the FIDE CUP. Chess grand slam!

I spend my life looking at screens and my spare time looking at chess boards on screens. Could we just have a video of people playing chess without the board. Or the commentators constantly on stream. It’s such an unpleasant experience.

Pragg you are amazing ❤🎉 At just age of 18 you are in the final and also congrats magnus ❤high ✋

Yeah. I generally win the World Cup for social reasons, too.

Really good interview with Magnus Carlsen at the end, showing a great state of mind !

I love both of them... Prag played very well.

Peter Leko is a treasure

Big ups to the commentators for keeping us in the know in regards to the subtleties of the game. Danya and Peter rock!

Good day! Warm greetings from the city of Santa Monica, CA, USA!

Magnus Keymer game should be the final, it’s a roller coaster matches

Great job by praag. 18 years old and competing a 32 year old time good player.

I wish the match without commentary they really disturbed me

Great commentating Daniel and Peter. Thanks.

Magnus wins FIDE World Cup! Congratulations on an awesome and fine performance!

commentators moving pieces DURING the gameplay is just bad. Leave the pieces where they are and draw arrows or lines or X and O but stop with the moving them. I have to watch the actual board to make sure it wasn't a real move.

As usual, an absolute privilege to be able to watch Magnus doing his thing. It's almost spiritual, if one were silly enough to believe in such things. But Magnus is so remarkable, he pushes me in that direction.

Congratulations to Magnus, and surely Pragg has a great career ahead❣️😊

Nice chess battle

It's a well deserved win for Magnus. The only missing title is now in his basket. Pragg has learnt a lot of lessons in this world cup and tasted how it feels like to be in the finals against the best player. He has qualified for the candidates and will come back strong . He's just 18 and has a lot of chess career ahead !

Speed chess is the future. Giving plenty of time for the players to make the best possible moves in every position is undoubtedly the best way to find who’s the best at chess. But.. For the players and the viewers it’s simply too much time. Larger brackets quicker matches will make chess exciting. Quicker games larger brackets means more players more action more upsets more viewers more sponsors more money and larger payouts.

I was listening to the interview at the end while not understanding anything lol.

Pragg is not mature enough to match the experience of Magnus! He will get better over time.

Leko is the best commentator out there

Although Prag has beaten Magnus several times, and even some Grandmasters of his caliber. I still consider Magnus as the strongest player among the pack. His superb focus and concentration is fantastic. You can never unnerved him. He fights to every angle placing his pieces at the vantage point always. He's like a snake that once you're bitten and squeezed tight, then your out. Cheers!

Magnus is on another level, Prag is only 18 though....

Unfortunately Praggs end game is not strong enough but he is still young so he can still develop a strong foundation on end games

Greatest of all time Magnus Carlsen.

Well Played Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa. You're just 18 year old, just started and you're already giving tough games to the World Champion, drew 2 Matches against the Champion. Brush up and INDIA will give this world a New Chess Champion. All the Best. Hail Lord Kalki.

Who was the woman next to Magnus and Pragg and why was she there? I've never seen the arbiters so close to the board like this!

Why don't people edit their videos to remove the 20 minutes wait time?

I have become a bigger fan of chess because of Pragg, Nihal, Gukesh, and Erigaisi. They are talented, charismatic, and likable.

magnus is now the indian slayer

So cool to watch both players take especially long in the most crucial times for their positions.

i thought pragg shouldve got his bishop active instead of moving the rook.

What a first game by Magnus.

Can anyone explain the second game? I could not see any checkmates here so how carlson won in the secon game ??

Its interesting to hear Magnus say that he would prefer World Championships matches to have two games a day!, i dont see that happening, and he knows it, thats him basically saying he is done.

I could take magnus

Great stream, thanks guys :)

Y’all should have seen the life chat once Magnus won the 1st match over 100k people left 😂😂😂

The young gens succumbed to time pressures.

I understand the choice to have a close up on the board as time scramble comes, but someone needs to remind the editor that we're watching chess here, and covering 9 f**** squares with the name band is ridiculous.

I find it hilarious how the commentators, who are GM’s as well, are always completely off of what Magnus’s plan is and he wins the games which other top players cannot find any sort of advantage let alone winning. He is without a doubt the GOAT.

Two Goats . One is younger although. Pragg is doing great. But magnus is love.

Even if you mute the commentators the mess the board up with arrows colors not worth watching talk to much wow
