If anyone knows how to contact Jerry, please inform him that someone is sending out bogus cryptocurrency emails in his name. For some reason Jerry has disabled the ability for RU-vid fans to contact him, so I'm not sure how to reach him, but he should be aware it's happening.
If true, just know it's not me sending out cryptocurrency emails. I wouldn't do that. That's well outside of my character to do such a thing, and I'm hopeful everyone who may be subjected to such bogus emails would arrive at a similar conclusion in a glance. Do know that it isn't me, but rather RU-vid, who has removed the messaging/inbox system from its platform. This took effect in July of 2018.
@@ChessNetwork Isn't it crazy the RU-vid actively tries to make it's platform worse? Video responses used to be a thing, dislike counter, so many features that have been removed
Seriously, this was a great analysis of this game. Seen a lot of commentary on it but felt a deeper understanding of how well Carlsen played this after this. Thank you!
One of the best-annotated chess game videos on the internet. Although it may seem boring to other chess enthusiasts, if you're dedicated to improving your chess skills, Jerry's channel will surely deepen your understanding of chess.
The quality is as always absolutely top notch. I wish every sport -which could be analysed in such a fashion- had a Jerry. You can feel that Jerry is self taught every step of the way. The way he highlights things and explains chess is truely remarkable and shows his skill: Understanding chess and presenting it logically and with structure. Never too little, never lost too deep in engine lines. I learn something every time and he certainly contributed a lot to my rating ! (and my addiction)
Jerryyyyy, you've outdone yourself! This analysis is impeccable. You teach in such a clear, patient way, and I learn so much from you. I'm grateful to you for being such an amazing teacher. I would love to see you commentate tournaments live. Fans would find the concepts even more clear and approachable. You illuminate every concept you teach.
Just want you to know how excellent your explanations are as a beginner this was incredibly informative it just helps to think it different ways awesome job thanks so much! "How and when AND WHY to simplify" my biggest issue.
It’s a fine line between chess servant and chess master. Games like this make me think they are in fact one and the same. You could not describe Carlson as aggressive here, and yet there is no backing off. This game exudes ‘chess confidence’. Jerry’s instructive analysis provides insight into critical moments.
Great analysis! I've watched several of your videos and I consider you one of the better analysts. Clear, interesting style. I play the Catalan and have faced that bishop check on b4 many times. I block it with my bishop and my opponent either immediately captures on d2 (most common) or protects the bishop with Qe2. I've never faced a5 before, so I was very interested in this game. I have to study that line.
As always, great analysis Jerry! Carlsen is such a beast!! When i saw whites b3 i thought black had some decent counter play. 4 or 5 moves later it's all over 🤣
Imagine the pressure of playing Magnus. Even with a pretty wild game, he evidently made 1 inaccuracy. You literally have to play perfect (according to engines at least) to win!
@@raygordonteacheschess5501 "might" "have a chance". Your first mistake is to contest an opinion that says there's a chance that Magnus has a chance. You're gonna need some pretty hard evidence to deny there is even a slight chance. You'll pretty much need to prove it's impossible. Your second mistake is to assume Magnus would play the same way vs a computer. His, and other GMs preparations are about finding positions that will be hard for a human to solve under time pressure, not positions that have no counterplay. It's pretty reasonable to think Magnus would play a slow manouvering position versus computers. That way, he "might" "have a chance".
It's because: without e3 played, if the F knight captures after Qc2, black can now capture the undefended pawn on d4. White could then still win the pawn on c4, but I think extra value is weighed on the fact that d4 is a central pawn.
I was watching Jerry last night while I fell asleep. I had a dream we were playing a really good game but he stopped playing because he got bored with my moves. I got mad, woke up and turned off RU-vid to get back at him for deserting our game.
I have seen hard games and understood them well, but this is way too much level from Carlsen to me, it gave me a headache. Only could understand b3 by your instructive analysis. More importantly than how many moves you can "calculate" is to think properly and evaluate those few on critical moments. Thank you, Jerry, very instructive.
Only critique is SHOW YOUR MOUSE!! Makes it so much easier to follow for the viewer and easier for you to show certain details instead of having to literally move the piece . Still awesome recap I’m hooked
One might say that the whole game turned on getting the Catalan bishop into play. In the final position it finally comes to life with ruinous effect. Boom
Hi Jerry I want to invite you to cover the Karjakin - Van Forest game from round 6 of this tournament. It was a really nice positional game in the Italian that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. Thanks 🙂
Isnt 20. Qd1 a super computer move? At the time it was played no one understood it. It was a total computer line that magnus found during the game which why shakhriyar tweeted that magnus can beat engines or something like that.
Not really... With the bishop moving to e6, adding a defense to d5, d4 is now hanging, as white would no longer have the skewer with the rook to win back the pawn on d5. Magnus added a second defender to a pawn attacked twice to avoid giving away a free pawn
Bishop takes knight and threat od skewer is still there unless say rook takes pawn on b5, but after knight d2, black pawn on c4 is gone, and white is better
It's English notation. Can't use K since it's used for King already. Some earlier notation systems used Kn or the squares ie. b1-c3 do indicate a knight move, but N is standard today.
Do you necessarily think that limiting the opponent's options helps you? If you are confident of which the best line is, why don't give your opponent a chance to make a mistake in evaluation?
If you have seen some alpha Zero games it is obvious that limiting opponents options does help. The way it stops counterplay is out of this world as well as its ability to blunt opponents pieces.
When there is only one correct move, finding that particular move would be more difficult than when there is a lot of other options. So, your opponent will be more likely to make mistake. Unless its obvious, no one can be 100% sure which line is the best in most situations. Why giving your opponent more options if you know a certain lines would ended up puting you in good position? In many situations, limiting your opponents options could prevents them from executing their plans.
This game convinced me never to practice and play chess. I thought black was winning all the time. To overthink 3 or 4 moves ahead of all possibilities, or to have memory of many previous chess games, this is not for me. Very interesting is the after math computer analysis, is this really objective? If so, chess players of all levels can practice and improve their game level with chess software all day, nuts!
Good comment. This video left me with a confused feeling, because I too thought black was in a good position. And out of nothing, or rather without having Carlsen to do anything fancy, black resigns. As if black beat himself. But yeah, this is also not my game, I'm not a computer brain and can't think too much ahead. Then again, due to its kinda "chaotic" (?) and nonconformal style it's quite fascinating to watch.
