[@somethingsomething2825]

[@shankylion5764]

Inner voice more like mind explain its intentions 😅

[@jessepinkman4204]

Okay

[@John99lm]

Voice over. What made me see the whole video

[@zaharzaviriuha9887]

Judit and Anish is gonna be one of the best commentary pairs ever.

[@navyseal93]

Absolutely LOVE Judit's commentary. What a great idea. I could watch her narrate chess games for hours. Has anyone shown her Twitch?

[@strong8705]

3 legends in 10 minutes. GM of editing, made 2 boards, literal descriptions and 3 audio sources work simultaneously almost flawless.

[@MICHELANGELO_JR.]

Wow what a great vid, felt like a movie. Hearing both thought processes is sucha unique choice. More like this pls

[@ChristopherMikrowelle]

Who is Anish? To the blind, he is the light. To the hungry, he is the bread. To the sick, he is the cure. To the lonely, he is the company. To the sad, he is the joy. To the prisoner, he is the freedom. For me, he is everything.

[@ukashk1071]

And A legend for the chess players

[@chaoslennart]

Jawollllll

[@seasideman]

How many videos are you going to make this same comment on?

[@santishorts]

@@seasideman ALL of them.

[@ukashk1071]

@@seasideman sorry but I saw it on this video only. He may have spammed it in every video so that many people see this comment as its a great one

[@Updog89]

Judit’s voice is so calming and warm, which contrasts with her killer instincts!

[@theherk]

I really enjoy how these videos are edited with the voice overs and providing small tangents explaining interesting ideas.

[@leefields3658]

I've never seen this before with the commentary of both players. I love this! Also, I think that besides being amazing players they both seem like people I would enjoy meeting in person. Thank you for developing this method.

[@bluefire8112]

I loved this all the way through. Please make more in this style.

[@bmoneybby]

The style of videos you've created are so creative and refreshing. Reminds me of educational shows I watched as a youngster that sparked my imagination. Fantastic.

[@reapercarl5047]

Seein her push you that hard was amazing she dose things that other gms dont she defo has her own style

[@billprovince8759]

Great game, and I loved the commentary! I really miss the time when Judit was still playing professionally; her games are always fun to watch.

[@rounitkamal2832]

So well made, loved the commentry

[@mantawrays]

All of Anish' videos are so well made and entertaining. Fantastic job. Hearing the thought processes during the game really helps understand whats going on, makes you realise how much yuo miss without it. This is what made the seventies BBC TV show 'The Master Game' so great

[@iamabhik]

This is the best way to engage viewers. This is better than commentary as it's post game analysis mixed with in game thinking by masters.

[@thundrwaffle]

man i love the narration you give and judit's as well man it was so close!!

[@squisher0]

I LOVE this!!! Wish there were more of these! (the anish empty thinking, followed by the chess notations scribbled all over the screen, was hilarious)

[@zubin8010]

I already knew the result, since it is uploaded on Anish's channel :) Very interesting game nonetheless

[@TheGeeoff]

Judit doing these fun spontaneous games is fantastic! Her personality and insights are great!

[@xavierpierre1676]

its crazy how good judit is and she doesn't even play much anymore

[@mcronrn]

Wow, great stuff! Loved you two commentating during the WC! 👏👍🏽

[@lepiota1074]

Watching Blitz chess performed by top players is really exciting and funny. Thanks a lot mister drawish giri!!!!

[@pajaf0341]

Super content. I like witnessing the mind process of top players like you... even when you (almost) screw it...

[@Someone-ft7el]

This was such a fun video. Thanks for the content!

[@boardvision4965]

Really loved the voice-over touches

[@mostlyharmless11]

This is an AWESOME video, having both players do commentary is such a good idea. This is something that I want to watch with a cup of hot tea & relax with

[@Nobody-df4is]

Very funny editing and comments. That was great!

[@mcordeus]

[@melodygarcia7242]

The thing about these real chess superstars are their sense of humore are just awesome! Judit the best ever and Anish one of my favorites! Great game you guys!!

[@OG_Hemant]

This is great content, why this isn't so viral

[@WilliamJonesChess]

Very high quality video. Would like to see more of these. Voiceovers from both Anish and Judit are so useful to listen to. Thank you.

[@ashwin3391]

Love these videos... so nice to hear the commentaries by the players themselves!

[@chaike9001]

Holy crap the synched commentary is well done

[@Zeldanerd7YT]

[@usg-647]

what a great game. and totally awesome video & joint presentation, Judit Polgar is my favorite!

[@eduardoabreu78]

I love Anish's videos!!! Please do more!

[@SchultzC]

Really great format. Seeing an illustration by the person that played the game of what they were thinking at the time is really interesting. I would very much like to see more videos like this

[@architlal8594]

Nice one, the eval bar got enjoyed dancing up and down

[@esotericman22]

Great video that! Love Anish and Judit together. Brilliant content

[@DeElSendero]

Giri sweatin' a little there at the end: "Thats was close!" Funny Anish!! Great job with that very entertaining! Hope you do some more!

[@MohamedAtef-ri8rd]

Who came to hear the cough,It's here 7:14 Thank me later.

[@p382742937423y4]

Dit was echt fantastisch Anish. Leuk dat je jullie beide ook hoort in jullie gedachten. Die Judit Polgar lijkt me echt de pest om tegen te spelen. Net als Ivanchuk, heeft zij zo'n brutale en gekke stijl. Dat is zelfs als ze niet winnen nog een mindfuck. Echt knap. Hoop dat we nog veel van je gaan zien.

[@BClevs]

Love to see the mutual respect

[@eseokpongete8468]

❤ the voice overs. Awesome collaboration GM Giri and GM Polgar 😅😅

[@kushaljain3767]

This format was so cool

[@Philson]

OMG excellent content! It's good to hear both thoughts.

[@Misteribel]

Awesome format, I love this!! ❤️

[@truecuckoo]

I love this!

[@kevinmalone3210]

Anish is like a chess engine in human form. Efficient and deadly.

[@ArranVid]

Chess engine in human form, three people are like that: Paul Morphy, Capablanca and Bobby Fischer

[@joaomuniz746]

wow anish your vids are superb..... way to go.... you are very entertaining

[@tharangajayaruk8225]

The way Anish's calculations work is so smart

[@kennethnewman5522]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Kudos to Anish for spotting the right way to win this one against such a great player as Judit.

[@lomiification]

Its fun seeing both commentaries

[@a11pu1poj]

this style of video is fantastic

[@karanpunjabi1861]

Love your street chess videos with voice editing ❤

[@ColHogan-bu2xq]

Such an interesting game ! Only one little mistake, and a won game became a lost game...

[@26kamoreno]

Always great content! One of the best chess vlogs I've ever seen made by an elite player😊

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I find it very interesting that the game at min 1:26 is the same patterns of a game the day before with Magnus shown at 1:32. It is like there is a script for chess.

[@macyf6793]

The legend Judit♥️ i look up to her

[@miles2804]

Ẹnoy this game so much

[@good-questions]

Some people are trolls on purpose, some by default.

[@hbh32210]
