Nepo knocking over the Chess pieces is one of the most heartbreaking moments in recent memory.

[@lwgaming5464]

Fr bro😢

[@user-jk7td2uk9b]

Fr 🥲

[@patrickwinther]

The thing that indeed makes that moment THE most heartbreaking, I would say is Liren's reaction to winning. It haunts me! 💔

[@ngare.k]

@@patrickwinther you can see in that moment what it really meant to them & how drained Ding was by the entire tournament.

[@kookiera5454]

Nepo losing was ok, people couldn't have handled ding losing. Nepo got the whole Russia supporting him but nobody cares about chess in china

[@Anonymous_952]

At 7:19 Anish going "he mouseslipped" on the board is too funny

[@abhilashpradhan7671]

They didn't even show Magnus other 2 biggest moments apart from FIDE World Cup. They skipped World Rapid & Blitz Championships

[@JohnDoe-uj4ij]

Magnus is chess.

[@Kristiyan-Angelov]

Nope the best moment was exactly the last one Nepo touching his pieces in this heartbraking moment@@abhilashpradhan7671

[@btgaming5015]

3:13 pep coaching 😂

[@drakondra]

Если часто тыкать левую стрелку на таймкоде 0:00, он будет говорить "кис-кис-кис"

[@ikraa_chesser]

the impact that they did in chess is crazy!

[@B1rmon]

Pogchamps 5 was so cursed

[@madhusarda7998]

i think there was some online event where magnus missed m3 or something(maybe pcl), that clip deserves to be in the vid lol

[@Verigueme]

anyone happen to know the BGM of the Ding-Nepo part?

[@farouqbaiti4315]

The Moment where there's Queen vs 2 Rooks + Bishop was drama moment. Those two players were playing like 500 elo chess.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@byOlympus]

This was a great Magnus video... I mean I great chess video, sorry 😂

[@SantoPlayChess]

Ding Liren is legend never die 🎉🎉🎉 🇻🇳❤🇨🇳

[@owenhollow8247]

Ding Liren - the World Chess Champion That we never really saw much of. Where's that domination that the WCC brings to the table when they play against others?

[@chrisandreas3142]

How do you mean?

[@chronics23]

@@chrisandreas3142 ding did not play any major tournaments for about 8 months after winning the championship

[@chrisandreas3142]

@@chronics23 ok, so?

[@owenhollow8247]

Garry, Kramnik, Anand, Magnus - they have shown great domination during their reign as World Chess Champions, they have been more visible and I believe they've done a great job in promoting Chess, participated in countless tournaments. I never saw much of Ding after his win at WCC. I understand he had some issues? he was dealing with. But his performance at Tata's tournament too, not anything noteworthy or noticeable. He is the World Chess Champion, he has many responsibilities he needs to fulfill. @@chrisandreas3142

[@kushalrana7865]

​@@chrisandreas3142What he meant was he didn't compete after winning. Now he is competing and loosing most of the matches.

[@Maver1ck911]

Botez gambit never dies 🤣🤣

[@giovannyalbarracin1141]

Ding being champion is by far the best chess moment of 2023

[@22mylbrown94]

Anish winning Tata didn't get a run. Hikaru in Norway. Fabi in St Louis?? - Three of the top performances of the year imo.

[@eg3nd6]

Anish didn't win Tata Steel, it was Wei Yi

[@22mylbrown94]

⁠@@eg3nd6in 2023 Anish did. 2024 was Yi.

[@eg3nd6]

Oh yeah my bad

[@quanta6384]

how could you not include magnus clip with pragg after he defeated nakamura

[@willc3421]

Ding's game 6 (d5) is a bit oversight on this list

[@7Beanss]

WITNESS ME LEVI!!!!!!!!!

[@avalonaura4076]

T1 and XQC teaming up on Squeex is hilarious. They're talking trash, then suddenly its just like "Oh yeah, that guy sucks."

Chess plis add the spell skin to normal game 😢

[@dpo6311]

Ding becoming world champion was mostly weird and uncomfortable and sad

[@LiterallyAndy1012]

Let's be honest, best chess moments of 2023 or best Magnus moments of 2023 lol?

[@gabrieldomain7820]

I guess MVL's double victory against Carlsen during the AI cup wasn't incredible enough to be included here...

[@abhilashpradhan7671]

Well they skipped World Blitz and Rapid wins of Magnus Carlsen as well which is 10 times more significant

[@gabrieldomain7820]

@@abhilashpradhan7671 that one too but it was so predictable. They did miss quite a lot of nice and incredible moments, Abasov making it to the Candidates was spectacular

[@abhilashpradhan7671]

@@gabrieldomain7820 They also missed TATA Steel wins on Anish Giri last year. Hikaru Norway chess victory as well. Instead they're showing some clownish pog champs and some insignificant bullet chess Championship.

[@indianfan1029]

Its always reassuring to see people like Carlsen losing their queen. We are not the only ones who suffer that way 😆 ofcourse our frequency is considerably higher than Carlsen.

you can not control creative cheating online ,its not possible unless you require honest supervisors presnt in same room with players ,otherwise if you do not creatively cheat then your opponent will.

[@kingspawn1226]

Has anyone of you noticed Carlsen's fake smile at the end of every game? and then immediately does a pride smile or whatever it is called after that.

2023 gave us the Worst Champion in Chess history hands down, who evades tournaments and finishes in bottom half if he plays one sorry not sorry

[@DHHFanatic]

Maybe he had some health issues ? Dunno . But I do understand the criticism

[@Elctrucr54]

It just happens man, there is nothing you can't do about it....

[@clarkesmith.]

When he won, everybody was congratulating him. Now he's just started to play again after months of rest and not playing, he's getting criticized. Relax. Go back and watch the streams of GMs when he won, everybody said he was a deserving World Champion.

[@Elctrucr54]

@@clarkesmith. yeah I agree, some peoples are too whiny to accept that they're wrong.
