“The complete objectivity of losing to someone and not something. You beat yourself up for hours. It’s entirely your fault in a way that almost nothing else in life is. And it eats and weighs on you. Chess is a very dangerous parasite.” - Robert Hess, Grandmaster
Magnus Carlsen, the greatest chess player alive, has never before been down in a world chess championship... until he faces Sergey Karjakin, a man who is hungry to see the roles reversed.

An absolute perfect & warm speech that Magnus delivered from his heart. You could really feel the emotions building when he spoke about the 1 man in his life that sacrificed everything for his Son's dream, to be The World Champion & now the defending World Champion! Talk about making you parents, family, friends & fans so proud with a brilliant comeback! I just started watching Magnus 2 mths ago so this was A Chess Documentary that really helped me learn & discover what Magnus has accomplished throughout his chess life. Congratulations on defending your World Championship Title. Yes, I cried at the end for Magnus, what a sublime victory! You have also inspired me to start playing Chess & my daughters bought me a chess board on my B-day, Apr 10/24 to start learning, I'm having fun at the age of 57! Thank you for your contributions to the world of Chess! You are the GOAT of Chess! You moved me...Susan from Toronto Ontario Canada.

The best player won, and now the once-Ukrainian dude sits in Russia with his rubles, never to visit another free nation for the rest of his life while supporting the genocide of Ukrainians. The Quisling of Ukraine sits on a shelf he built himself, probably very pleased with his rubles and the fact that he will not be sent along on a Z-army suicide mission in his old homeland. I just had to get that off my chest since the disgrace dumped on the Ukrainians in general makes me more than mildly annoyed. Thank you for an awesome documentary, Flamels. You deserve way more than 10k subs, thus I subbed to bring you closer to that absolute minimum target since this was more engaging than what most million subs channels use to hide the lack of a good script and research by blowing up something expensive. You, sir, are a storyteller. Keep working on your art. I am waiting for your new post in the future.

Is the black player chosen randomly in armeggedon? In every one I’ve seen, the black player is chosen based on who chooses the lowest time they’re willing to play as black, and white will get more time than that (and it could be more than one minute difference between black and white as well)
