Hahaha totally. Block!

[@yanair2091]

Hilarious :)

[@ineedazerosuit6128]

This match was actually incredible. The way they pushed each other into equal, yet incredibly difficult positions was mind blowing. Better yet, they both played with extreme accuracy despite the complexity and time control.

[@drnantz]

Magnus played two semi obscure openings to get Alireza into confusing time sucking positions. That was very cool. Man he is good.

[@Klara906090]

7:00 was hilarious

Damn those super GMs and their accuracy. Lovely chess, thanks for the great coverage

[@getchrismo]

Magnus had a slow start as he looked like he had just woken up.

[@martijnheeroma5492]

this was great, the Kramnik mix in was Epic, thanks

[@percy9228]

dude, you killed it with the comedy. the amount of effort and thought that went into this is insane. you deserve a sub and 100k+ views

Haha thanks a lot glad you enjoyed

[@LifeOfPuddles]

THE HAIR!!! lol

[@mcronrn]

Dude - out of control 🤣

[@ruysk]

The other players circulate on having good tournaments but Magnus is always there. What a tremendous player. For me he is the most dominating player among all sports, including tennis, snooker ......

[@uniktbrukernavn]

7:07 Hikaru has seen the hair growing before and isn't impressed 🤣

lol kramnik phoned in 😂 I’m dead

Heartbreaking to see Alireza after the match. I’ll be rooting for him in the candidates.

[@BBigg-kh7pz]

Props on the shadowing during that epic hair swell!

[@victorfinberg8595]

not sure what is more epic ... the chess or the commentary. only occasionally does the chess speak for itself

[@epicchess2021]

Haha thanks a lot!

[@mickdonedee1]

Also loved the godzilla hair piece. Great fun that made the video even more entertaining.

6:50 that hairdo had me in stitches! 🤣

I had way too much fun making this but that editing wasn't mine lol, was chess.com's, I just inserted it...

[@lifesnotfair]

I actually laughed quite a bit!!!! The Kramnik bit was funny, but the ever-growing hair and the looks of the opponents while it's growing!?!? Duuuuude, that was HILARIOUS!!!! I salute you for this one. Very entertaining way to review the game!!!! Magnus the GOAT! Alireza proved he is awesome too.

[@epicchess2021]

Haha thanks a lot glad you enjoyed

[@steveshuffle]

I watched it all yesterday.. still can't believe Magnus won eventually

[@Fiascopia]

Must have been incredibly difficult to choose a game from that match, I thought the first game from the first set was equally epic but in a different way... mad precision and a slow squeeze of death to the very end. I was blown off the board! Great recap as always! Kramnik bit was hilarious 🤣

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot and fully agree, first was my favourite and that is why I have literally just finished recording it and am posting later!! I just felt I had to give insight into the climax of the match last night but then this one is the follow up, I loved every second of it, showcasing why both are so exciting

[@Fiascopia]

@@epicchess2021Sweet! Just finished work and saw you posted it! Psyched! Watching now...

[@Herbivor]

you need to whisper Zwischenzug in the microphone or i dont get the real chess vibes of the game

[@bradnail99]

I’m not sure which was funnier, the hair growth or Kramnik blocking them both for suspiciously high accuracy. Well done, Epic Chess.

[@chessnut4886]

This hair meme in 6:52 is hilarious. I laughed so hard.

[@hannahgambino3884]

Sometimes I wonder if Magnus Carlsen ever thinks “finally, I’m actually on the edge of my seat” when playing games like these against Alireza Firouzja

[@priyadarshanmanohar5146]

Awesome game! Could you pl. explain the rules again how Magnus won even if the matches were tied at 1 - 1? Feel a bit sad for Alireza though! He fought hard!

[@iizerutalii5543]

it’s a double elimination bracket, since Magnus came from the upper finals, he has two chances. Alireza came from the lower bracket, which means he already lost once before in the bracket. Two losses means elimination in this format, which is why Magnus earned a reset.

[@priyadarshanmanohar5146]

Great content as always

[@azijnseikert1918]

I don't think Kramnik deserves this. I listened to him with MVL. It was reasonable what he said.

[@epicchess2021]

Disagree I’m afraid, he accuses everyone left right and center and has made himself a joke!

[@IamJacksColon4]

the kramnik bit made me spite out my coke, u owe me a new keyboard lol

Hahaha sorry 😆

I have lost my focus on the game when Magnus' hair started to grow exponentially 😆😆😆❤❤❤

[@TruthSurge]

dang.... he drank 10 liters of Rogaine just before the match? wild stuff! I know Kramnik has already blocked Magnus and Ali. hehe
