The video machine is named Mr. Video, which is a play on the instant coffee brewer Mr. Coffee.

Time travel is not like that. It requires lots of mass or energy, like our sun or our galaxy. And we aint going no place except into the black hole that ate up our galaxy a long, long time ago. Don't worry though, you can watch the whole thing as space observers are already beginning to see waves out there as another galaxy collides with ours. But that was also a long, long time ago.

You cannot predict an equation's outcome if you don't know all the variables and how they work.

The commentators were jizzing in their pants. "Oh my god Bto a8!."

[@Nikita-p8o]

"If you don't take risks, you don't drink champagne" is actually a well-known Russian (or Soviet) saying. Same as "Pulling a hippo from a swamp", that Agadmator mentioned in one of the Tal videos. Though I thought it came from the war with Napoleon, which would be pretty much natural, it is really considered to come from Formula 1 races. And here's how the story goes, or so they say. In 1930s there was a race in Reims, located in Champagne province. Count Frederic Chandon presented a bottle to the winner of French Formula 1 Grand Prix. The organizers liked the idea and so it became a tradition. Though those times they didn't spray it out still until 1967 Le Mans series by Dan Gurney upgraded the celebration. You never know where Agadmator video may lead you to.

[@bezzlebedeviled4756]

8:57 -- Even though Magnus might seem not too bad off with a rook versus a bishop and two pawns here, the engine smells something rotten, and is granting Black a dominating -3.5 after only moderate depth analysis. (Ding's best follow-up is actually not to trade his queen for Magnus' two rooks, but to, after Rc1, play Bc6. But, as is stated, he only needs a draw, so clearing all the pieces off the board immediately is the best strategy.)

After f3 Bxf3 white can avoid an imminent checkmate by playing Bg1, blocking the first rank, albeit at a cost of heavy material losses. The game can then continue with Rc2+ Bf2 Rxf2+ Kg1 Rg2+, and black wins at least a piece when the dust clears and still has a vicious attack on exposed white king.

An absolutely exciting game, as I watched it live & was cheering for Ding. Not that I don't like Magnus, but because I like cheering for the underdog....especially when he has the lead. However, is this game worth of 'immortal". Ding threw away his 3.75 lead when he didn't play 35.Bc6 & the game is 0.00 after 37....Bc6. It is only because Carlsen had to have a win, that he ended up giving the advantage back to Ding when he went for broke with 39.Qxd6 giving Ding a won game. I, of course, had no idea at the time, so I was on the edge of my seat cheering him on & Ding deserves accolades for his outstanding play in the tie-break!

at 2:02 why doesnt knight take pawn on e4 ?

[@georgebrantley776]

If Nxe4 then Re4 attacks the knight. If black responds Nf6 retreating the knight then Nxe5 wins the pawn back. If black defense the knight with d5 or f5, that is an option, but those are pretty committed moves that open up your center a bit much. It's an acceptable variation, since black is up a pawn in exchange for a weaker pawn structure, but since Ding was playing for a draw, it makes sense to choose the more conservative variation. There was no need to be aggressive as black.

[@mercedesbenz989]

Darn dude I went to check the live video, those engine lines that are Ba8 was played almost instantly. The combination that leaded to Ne7 was played in about 5 second. Even Carlsen smiled at end of the game, not expecting none of these to plays. Ding only deserve to win after this!!
