Great coverage thank you. It's as close to being there as I can hope for. And nice to watch Magnus do what he does without a lot of fuss being made over his every move. Thank you again.

a Petrov who dosen't play Petrov ... how disrespectful to the family name

WOW both of them expecting one damn mistake from the other. Lot of patience not giving up at all. This is one end again I enjoyed a lot. Thanks for posting 😊

I thought it was the tiny camera on the board that bugged him but the arbiter didn't seem to be looking at it so I don't know.

Finally, Magnus Carlsen with well-groomed hair.

Obviously, he is peeved that Petrov didn’t play the Petrov… 😂

in this game, Magnus played the end game stronger than Nikita. Once Magnus lost the f pawn, it was a clear that the game was a draw. his rooks were daring and fierce. Nikita's queen was not as strong as Magnus' rooks. in fact, the queen was practically moving back and forth trying to win a draw, unable to do anything against Magnu's king and 2 rooks. this game shows that 2 rooks are in fact stronger and more powerful than a queen in an endgame. probably Nikita knew that he could not keep the a pawn, so he gave it up freely. yet it is interesting to know why Magnus gave up the b pawn? could white's b pawn have been saved? Give credit to Nikita for his fine surprising move of d5! the exchanges that follow is what leads to the kind of queen versus 2 rooks endgame. perhaps the game might have ended different had Nikita not played d5 and Magnus failed to trade queens for black's 2 rooks. so know how and when to exchange. I think Nikita was playing for a draw since from early in the game, probably giving Magnus too much respect. Thanks and Happy New Year!

This, my dear Magnus, is a chess board.

12:27 was . ...Qf4 better? And earliet in the game, was. ...h4 at some point better. I guessed that general strategy for white was to double tooks and capture pawn f7 and then win in pawn ending.

i think magnus in the end wanted to arrest the black queen with rook under the connect of the king but e3 prevented that

Ух, я прям понервничал. Никита вы молодец! Кстати В "блиц с мастерами" есть очень похожая партия, до хода ладьи на Е5, по моему один в один. Поздравляю.

A very nice little match, lovely pace, thanks for posting.

The table was too narrow without a place to rest his elbows to calculate.

Chess base india videos is incomplete without sagar’s commentary

Drawing with black to a 300 elo difference is almost a victory.

I assume those are small cameras on each side of the board. If that's the case why do they have them? Thanks.

Being able to draw with someone more than three hundred points higher than you is quite an accomplishment!

Why not black pawn take white pawn (F5) at 12:33 ? After that if white rook takes pawn, pawn, queen takes rook. Am I missing something ? Is that not a good move?

Good game both players!

I so wanted him to get his hand caught in that little camera trying to make a move and then snap it off.

Well played chess match in a fine endgame

⚜️ Oh! It's the "if You need to ask - thingy", Sir. ⚜️

Well played John Mayer

The moves are straight to the point.

nikita must be thrilled with that game. Not easy for a player rated 300 elo lower to get a draw.

Commentary??

Why not a Petrov defence ?

Tough game

Are those cameras?

Magnus played so fast in accurate moves

Omfg I thought there was c5 c4 trapping the bishop but white has Qxg7 😮

on board go pro, or anti cheat sencing device?

sagar bhai will you cover this tournament live?

What's that? a mic?

After this Magnus activated the god mode

Do they have to say something when they offer a draw? Or is it just a nod?? I wonder if a nod has ever been interpreted as "I give up" ?

Bravo JKD1:44

What are those things attached to the board?

I thought two rooks beat a queen in the end game. (Obviously the engine didn't think so.)

i don't know if the mic belongs there or is it just unconscious thing that it belongs there. lol

Petron usurped 6 mm of table space for elbows --> I sm sure that was why Carlsen complained.

0:30

No one will steal chess board, now i get it

Co to? 1:25 Dlaczego?

Why not Queen take pawn at F6 at 13:40 Apologies I am very new to chess but cannot understand why the pros aren’t making some of these moves which seem better than what they make next

Loving the Puma outfits😍😍😍

What's that lady doing with the microphone during the intro?

nikita played with asolid defence to the end very interesting match

didnt know john mayer played chess

0:53 - 1:11 I thought she was going to be standing there with the big mic like that the whole match.

Magnus discovers the wonders of a comb and hair gel.

Where can one get that chess board. Anyone have a link

Viendo el reloj ?

Nikita, vamosssss

I don't see the Ruy as being as good for white as i used to think. And 4...Bc5, i find hard to meet too!

Why didn’t he challenge magnus on e4 right away?

That's a stockfish transceiver.

Thank God no talking just chess

Someone might already have adjusted his pieces...

The beeping noise in the hall. Annoyed me too.

that would bug the sh*t out of me

Someone playing the first move is kinda dumb. Id have them play the first move, but do something else when the game starts. A true chess tactic

N petrov is the next anatoly karpov, sharp and hard to beat, in 3 years ahead he will be world champion! No one doubt it!

Wait did Duda and his opponent not shake hands?

How did he win?

I came here for the coughing competitions, but instead watched a very compelling game of chess.

who won ? was it a draw?

Magnus didn't like the black knobby thing at the middle?

Glad John Mayer picked up chess 😅😁

I want to know background reporter name❤😂

Bravo Nikita!

Who won

Who is see I mean what is her name

Who is the woman that holds the mic?.??

Great end game two rooks Vs a queen 😮

No doubt

Who has won?

Why nikita didn't take magnus knight at 2:30 with his Bishop it was free

I have no idea what I just watched. Was there a winner?

Someone explain why/how Magnus gave up his queen. Is it normal at this level to play two rooks against a queen?

So what was the problem for Magnus?

Magnus loves his pieces positioned nicely. Now his microphone was not positioned well and descretely. It looked like a black piece checking his king.

Who is win

0:23 what is that girl doing in the background? She seems like so Lost lol

Opponent was looking for a draw and nothing else 😂

Nice battle but much simplification in the middle game. Looks like Nikita was aiming for end game.

Paso algo ahi.

It was actually the blonde that got him flustered, then he was looking for a reason to blame it on.

Is that an electronic chess board? Probably what bug Magnus!

great camera angel chessbase india (Y)

I'm 11 or 12 hundred Elo and I feel magnus should have just exchanged pawns in the end game.

Magnus showed up on time AND there's 15 minutes on the clock. What even is going on?

Well played.. Black

Was it draw?

Connor Mc’Gregor at the second table

0:38 it’s ok … she’s a blondie 🥰

Hahaha why do we need the hand pov now 😭😭😭😭

But was it draw or Magnu just resigned?

Oh Nikita is it cold in your little corner of the world?
