Magnus Carlsen Arrives With Only 30 Seconds To Play 

"He has NOT changed position at all." Top-tier 😂

I skipped but knew Danya would have good nothing commentary lol

"at least he has pants on"

​@@highjim7778hahaha yeah that one got me good lmao

​@@highjim7778that shit made me bust

I respectfully disagree with your assessment, I do admire his sportsmanship of wanting to wait before the clocks were started but once Magnus arrived, he played quickly until he reached the theory phase and began contemplating what to play next to utilize his time advantage, it is not rare at the top level to see a very strong Blitz player waste a lot of time during the first 15 moves so I can understand why for those who are new to chess, it might look like he is being nice but that actually occurred before, obviously at the end of the day no one knows what actually happened except for Kovalev so we can just exchange our POVs

cheers for those insights, those Officials really know how to ''Stalin'' matches.

@@williamrobert9898 yeah i agree with you tbh. It did seem like he was thinking about possible ways to set up a complex position for himself against a world champion with little time knowing that the basic theories wouldn't leave him with a nice enough advantage

@@JustRisq Spot on 👏

@@williamrobert9898 This really is not "the theory phase". These players have at least 10 lines 12 moves deep in every opening. They are studying chess for many hours everyday besides being extremely naturally talented. I respectfully disagree. He was not thinking what to play. He might have been thinking about options but not because one option would have been better against Carlsen or not, rather what he would have enjoyed more. Even I, a 1700 player, know the theory here by heart.

He should comentate on cricket

@@drewdabbs418 Never watched T20?

@@Irizumecricket sucks

Should've been a politician, woul have made more money

​​@@ember-evergarden i reckon HEEHEE wants to stick to that type of job because it makes him happy as opposed to being a politician.

😂😂😂😂😂

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

or maybe he just wanted to waste Magnus' time like Magnus wasted his.

@@johndoee4964that’s another way to see it

​@@johndoee4964I don't think he cares about 2 minutes, he was nervous because winning for default is not the best scenario, after he got there, that was equal he didn't care about 2 minutes 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nepo in the previous world rapid championship against Duda, Caruana against Duda in the Superbet 2023 in classical, me in a classical game against a 1200…

​@@claudiog7692 you can play classical game at 1200?

​@@Sub_13Nep you can play classical games at literally any rating

I once got to play a 3+2 blitz game with MVL while he was reigning world blitz champion. He of course beat me and ended up with more time than he started 😂

@@gautam-narula in what occasion did you play him?

Gotta disagree there, It is not the first time I saw someone getting extremely low on time after only a few moves played most notably Magnus himself plus Magnus was already in time trouble so it is not like Kovalev had a choice when the time was equal

​@@williamrobert9898 do you really think he didn't know 5 moves past the exchange french???

@@williamrobert9898 Under 1000 elo comment

it looks like he let it run till around 1.30 when magnus adjusted his pieces, and then he was actually just thinking since he didn't even look at his clock after that point

@@ErykKrzeminski 🤦🏻‍♂️ Typical toxic troll

Yup and also 41 likes and my comment is the first 😁

Nerd.

XDDD

Lord of the ring reference

Is that HP

"He is still sitting in the same position" 😂

I was amazed at how he was comentating incredibly hard on multiple positions and posibilities while the two players were just chilling there. If I were blind, I'd guess this was the most intense chess game ever.

"At least he has pants on" got me dead 💀

I actually found it quite tiring how he didn’t stop talking even for one second.

😂😂😂👎🏻👎🏻

hes a GM bro, hes seeing the game faster than we are

He knows a lot of english. He graduated at Stanford University

It’s called Passion

​@@patrickcox8990yes, the fast eyes and experience he needed to commentate minutes of nothing happening.

@@nemuonakpoya8592 Yea but why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?

it's Magnus what do you expect. he was, however, very challenged in other settings.

his name is magnus… what do you expect from such a superhuman? For real… i hate this guy, wondering if he chose this name later or if his parents were that hypocrite

@@harrison00xXx Actually his name is Sven. And what sort of imbecile accuses someone's parent of hypocrisy for the name they choose for their child? One who has no idea what hypocrisy is, certainly.

I just watched Magnus beat 3 professors blindfolded He remembered 3 boards in his head simultaneously Gotta be hard for anyone to beat Magnus if he’s not blindfolded lol

Lmfao truly hilarious 😂

You are not alone, these videos make me want to learn

how come Kovalev resigned the game? surely he could have lost his pawn to magnus ruck and then took magnus' ruck with his own and then went back up the board and around the back of magnus' king to take the advancing pawns?

@@s1dew1nd3r4 Surely you don't know how to play chess. Even I could have won that position against Kovalev or any other GM. Magnus isn't going to lose his rook. White's passed pawn can't promote with his rook in front of it, and as soon as the rook moves black captures it. And meanwhile black is going to checkmate the white king confined to the 1st rank.

@@s1dew1nd3r4 Magnus did not need to take the pawn right then, Kovalev's own rook was blocking the promotion. No need for Magnus to sacrifice his rook for the pawn.

​@@JimBalter😂😂 Sure buddy

Was to sign to the other player that he was okay with the time advantage and that they should play normal now. The other player let the time run down to make it more equal.

OMG you are all running around with this narrative like parrots @@Luukdj5

​@@Luukdj5 Couldn't he just told him that then?

You cant make deals in a serious match@@muzosh

And it is considered to be rude to talk during a chess game@@muzosh

Yooo 😂😂

I think that was to signal to Kovalev that the time on the clock is okay now, no need to continue letting it run down.

Commentator try to read what going on their mind

For lesser GM's it is. Magnus simply doesn't need all that time.

@@AageKush magnus is just saying that he doesnt care and is winning anyway

​@@AageKushcool, he can start on time and finish earlier

He can make a clock running down sound exciting. And he did.

High octane without being over the top. Not easy to do but Danya has just the right blend of energy, chess depth, and linguistic flair to make it work. I love watching these blitz commentaries!

GG

To be fair bomb diffuser units would arrive after explosion too. There could be multiple bombs, some that did not trigger.

6 months late, but it‘s Magnus trying to say that there‘s no need to stall and continue to play normally

and cocky and disrespectful and a baby when he loses.

​@@hoyvintagecycles2936That has nothing to do with his skills in chess lmao

@@hoyvintagecycles2936 When he loses, he blames himself. That's not being disrespectful

@@sebastiangonzales46 It's also not true. These people are ignorant gits.

​@@donkbonktj5773 literally blamed Hans and ragequit a tournament

Mushashi wants to know your location...

The thing is, if thats true, thats awfully unpleasant sportsmanship from Magnus. His opponent repeatedly ran his clock down to try to equalize the difference, and showed that he was pleased to meet Magnus himself. So, if Magnus is using dirty tactics, that's not okay.

😂😂😂

It was a little nod towards his opponent to stop trying to equalise time, that he was okay with the time disadvantage.

​@@AureliusRcouldn't he just told him that then?

@@muzoshno, you cannot talk during a chess match. at all.

Both were generous to each other.

Who wins ? Black or white ?

@@Bijuu007magnus won, but he only really won cause black was being a good sportsman and intentionally played slower to even out the time to have it fair

30 seconds in Chess is not really 30 seconds. What a joke.
