Wesley So vs. Magnus Carlsen! Is This The Game Of The YEAR?!?! 

I love how gentle and kind Wesley is and how he transforms into a fierce monster over the board. Gotta love this guy!

The way the commentator talks about the pawn structure like it’s the Philippines😂 10:35

That rook sacrifice of Wesley is insane 😂, hope they face in the Finals

This is the best commentary I've ever listened too! The guy is knowledgeable and funny! "a Philippines set up and wesley knows the Philippines" 😂 greet casting, man!

"So knows how to deal with Philippines" :))) The GOAT commentator!

Not only game of the year, but commentary of the year

Yes, this is the game of the year. Wesley played wisely (insanely too) and bewildered invincible Magnus.

Thank you for bringing out new voices/faces to this channel. Great analysis and accent Pepe!

The commentator is the non-playing MVP here.

What a game!! And the commentator is really great. Thank you Pepe Cuenca! (and good accent)

Amazing commentary, it's always great when good commentators give life to the games, of course these games are super entertaining to see but for a bigger public it's way better to have a commentator like this to go along with them

This is the Wesley we've missed! Enterprising and brave, and not overly-calculating to be always on the safe side of things.

Dude these commentators were going off 🤣

The best commentary of the year for sure. dayummmmmm

That was GOD level commentary!

Wesley So indeed played wisely so.

3:50 I just Simply Laugh There Because The Commentary

I love this commentator! Funny and knowledgeable which keeps me hooked and entertained. Keep them coming!

Chess is so interesting because of the commentator!! We want you backk!!

Wesley So is the every hope of Filipino chess players, though he is not representing the Philippines, the whole country is proud of Him

I think Soo has been Possessed by Mikhail Tal😂

This commentator is KILLING me 🤣

The best commentator! 🧡

Amazing game, and great commentary.

Great commentary 🙏🙏💪💪

Big thanks to the commentator for acknowledging Wesley as former Filipino as he was born in the Philippines and by heart is a Filipino. This game is only our consolation after he was cheated in his road to the candidates. Fide is ruled by money and not by fair play and is corrupt.

8:19 wow some great insight I didn't even think about that

10:35 And Wesley so is from Philippines 😂😂

The battle between SGMs does not really disappoint.

Congrats SGM Wes👏👏👏We,from the 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 are very proud of u👍👍👍

never underestimate the pawn push.

The commentator is absolutely unhinged. This is so funny.

Pepe on fire! 🔥

Love that the commentator went into some calculations!

Can someone explain why they show the player cams larger than the board?

What did you put in the coffee is hilarious.

I thought the the video is 3 mins i felt immerse with the game and commentary

Wesley after the game: I apologize for ruining your December 13th.

i love this commentator, would like to hear more from him 🤣🤣

8:19 RRRAATATATATATATATATA 😂😂😂😂😂

Best commentary ever

So my question is the eval bar has the game very close to even chances even after magnus plays ...Qb6, so what is the continuation that keeps him from collapsing? What is the crazy engine line that allows him to move out with his queen and still be able to escape the attack?

commentary king🎉

fantastic moves by wesley !!

Wesley So joins other Filipino greats (Pacquiao for boxing, Efren Reyes for billiards).

Referencing the Philippines 😂 The best commentator ever 😂

Wesley is Carlsen’s nemesis for a few years now, but the Chess Federation would always make sure Wesley was not always included in qualifying as Carlsen’s challenger for the World Championship. They have different made-up methods for qualification that makes sure Wesley was not included. I think it’s too obvious Carlsen was being protected from losing his seat since he was a champion.

A gangster move for no reason would be to circle white and then bid a really low time

Pepe! My favourite GM! Love your philidor course ❤

Wesley So is moving closer & closer to No. 1 in the world. Wait & watch his progress...it's unbelievable!!!

Wesley won because he played like MIKHAIL TAL.

In the mid game wesley already know that pawn a4 is gonna go for it,

Tal reincarnated.

Another fine win from Wesley "Lapu-Lapu" So against the Viking King!

Pepe is amazing!

Magnus should have allowed the Magnus Sicilian.

Pepe is a beast

Grande Pepe, Ratatatatatata

Omg that was amazing 😂 as a 600 this blew my last brain cell

Holy shit the commentary is hilarious.

Board way too small on mobile devices

Wesley is so good

I love Philippines 😅 Wesley your the man😊

More GM Pepe please!

I think when magnus takes rook by qf6 then next couple of moves will be forced checkmate for wesley if he takes g6 pawn by h5 pawn and finally qh7.. its mate

Magnus miss g2 cheekmate😂

Wow…… what an incredible game

That was beautiful.

The sacrifices is fitted to the time control magnus is cannot analyze too long his time is shorter than Wesley.

Pepe Cuenca rocks big time!

White to captures f7+ Black loses g pawn with another check and White can draw with a perpetual check or capture a piece and/or promote a pawn to win with accurate play. Magnus must like Wesley or something. 😊

6:48 isn't it mate if wesley h5xg6??

From which day is this game from???????

The tiny board on the side of the screen is a terrible idea.

12:37 why he didn't take the pawn

8:18 hahah

Too bad, we won't see the greatness of Wesley in the Candidates. He's already 30. He's still got a shot at it when he turns 32, 34. Time is almost running out on his peak form - is slowly slowly declining, maybe. I don't know Anand's age when he defeated Kramnik. If Ding Liren is able to successfully defend his crown, then I want to see Wesley against either Ding or Fabiano in the 2026 championship. Dominguez and Aronian are still good both close to 40, but obviously not at their peak anymore. And then there's Alireza and the Indian prodigies. Go Wesley!

My most fav game 🎯

AHH! Another Wesly!

Good luck.🎉

I didn't know Donnie Yen is good at chess, just a few more years he might become a Grandmaster

magnus really love to wear that homeless drip in tourney 😆

Magnus vs IP man

🎉😂❤cingratulations wesly so😊

As a Filipino American myself i really don't know whos side im in

HAHAH FUNNY COMMENTATOR

YESS WESLEY SO WINS

WESLEY SO!!! USA! USA! 🇺🇸

The camera angle sucks...😒

Proud pinoy woooo

8:38 why can’t Magnus take with his bishop??

Always see the move that you never seen ever when Magnus play...... Very entertaining game👍

Where is the arrow ?. Commentary is confusing for lower rated player. No arrow, just talk....

Why isn't the board the main focus lol

Idol hahaha

So....what we've learnt today, is that Mikhail Tal would wipe the floor with Magnus. By far the best player of all time in chess.

Wtf is this spoiler

King Leonidas? What's with the 300 reference?

Why did Magnus resign?

magnus e
