I love Magnus's "sporting qualities" (a phrase he used this week in praising Abdusattorov). Against players he respects, he WANTS daring, fighting games.

[@davidmac6094]

I'm definitely starting out my chess journey but love watching these guys every time; this tournament has been amazing. I know these super-GMs are absolutely phenomenal calculators, but seeing David Howell and the gang, and now yourself show how Magnus calculated the perpetual check is the most stark example of calculation I've seen. Even more impressive as it was for the draw. It blew my tiny mind!

[@blahsomethingclever]

Carlsen does it again. Just brilliant. WOW

[@Philiopantheon82]

It was one of the most insane armageddon games I saw live yesterday, and your recap is just perfect icing on the cake

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot!

[@nikitakucherov5028]

I watched this game and even with the announcers saying what Magnus was doing I just couldn’t see it. How the hell does he even think of that?

[@Joshwaheazo]

I probably wouldn't see it but when somebody points out the rook. Covering one of two king squares it's quite obvious that the knight can force a draw. It's kind of impressive when you smell blood like that to find the safe draw though and just drop the best moves.

[@juliocadavid6640]

​@@JoshwaheazoIts reasonable to think that Knight can do a perpetual when the eval bar shows it and the rook is visibly cutting King moves, and thw comentators, the hard part is doing it while suffering mate attacks and with such accuracy in very short time

[@billporter2731]

Same

[@Joshwaheazo]

@@juliocadavid6640 I know I said I wouldn't have seen it dude. Haha and said when someone pointed out the rook. I didn't say it was easy but I understand how he saw it. Your always going to look at knight attacking the queen, it's an one of the three two candidate moves. It's sacing the queen that's the hard part of that sequence. I would never even look at that it looks stupid.

[@juliocadavid6640]

@@Joshwaheazo Yeah wasnt being mean, i was just agreeing with you haha it normally isnt that hard to understand the key moves when eval shows us a blunder or the typical puzzles. Yet here it was a bit hard to understand how to do it, i could see the perpetual when comentators said there was a perpetual, in my case, but i didnt know how was possible to know that Qg7 leads to it

[@br9377]

This was some Harry Houdini stuff. Magnus tied himself up with heavy chains underwater and somehow undoes his binds and escapes

[@faaiz4129]

Great analysis! It would be even better if u had shown the commentators reaction to the move

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot! Noted

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

It is nice to see that Magnus is using bits of his new Boomerang opening (h4) here and there.

[@BironClark]

These guys are good at chess

[@BrotherK-ex2co]

BRILLIANT by Magnus. You could have given me 15 days and I would not have come up with that.

[@mymans4750]

I mentioned this yesterday, and you released a new vid already, great job my man

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot!

[@mtreder4]

I spit my coffee out when you let it rip on Magnus!!!! Genuinely hilarious today!!! Great Christmas sweater!!

[@epicchess2021]

haha thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed

[@jamescalkins8803]

I'm a beginner and interested in learning. I really like your explanations. I think your channel will get big.

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot!

[@OKmoomer]

7:28 That computer line is insane, but passes the eye test because the black King is practically invincible with his entourage arranged in that exact manner and the passed pawn is on the doorstep.

[@Alskaskan]

Damn what a game, thanks for covering it

[@PresidentKurteous]

Great channel, great content! Earned my sub

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks very much!

[@sondik5128]

Is it possible to adjust engine parameters to take into account that this is armageddon game and goals are not same as regular chess? It would be usefull to show evaluations for that also.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

When it gets crazy Magnus ups his game. Thanks James.

[@raaja1560]

Is he really a human or a super computer

[@Bob94390]

Yes, he is.

[@bobetpalma5120]

I watch this game after knight double pin the took and queen of Magnus I was amazed by knight counter to capture the white queen of it was brilliant Magnus forcing the draw and eventually win the game🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I love when he bring his A game in a crucial situation

[@Wargasm54]

Fabi folds like oragami in the presence of the GOAT 😂

[@elmerfrejoles98]

@3:29 Yes Fabby should have taken that risks to open up the board and hopes for the right checks continuation. Of course, it's so easy for us to analyze any chess games without the pressure of time and playing against world number 1.

[@sthnahiyan]

Great Analysis! Thanks brother, Epic Chess ❤

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot!

[@altonbrek]

Magnus, Magnus! How do you do that! 😮

[@ujvarig74]

What an absolute beauty of a game!

[@daviddurbin7682]

Magnus always dangerous in must score situations

[@mugbhary]

Fabi started a brutal attack only to cop out with that knight move backwards trying to save it was kind of counterintuitive . Once he backed off his pieces were left to be hunted down .he gave magnus a breather . Shame the attack fizzled b4 becoming a masterpiece

[@kaldrazadrim]

I watched all these games, they were all great. Fabi is so strong, I don't know how Magnus beat him

[@threethrushes]

Middle-game brilliancy by the middle-game brilliancy goat.

[@JBsoable]

I understood “Madness Carlsen” at the beginning. And I think that’s how I will refer to him from now on.

[@epicchess2021]

Haha nice

[@thegemguy1334]

3 minutes is too short for a regular person. To a Grand Master, that's is plenty of time.

[@tonybeatbutcher]

Epic game !!

[@primeobjective5469]

You keep us entertained. Nicely done. Chess will thrive another 1000 years because of you. 😅

[@epicchess2021]

Haha thanks a lot!

[@steinanderson9849]

good game!

[@gamelovergold]

Forcing opponent to go wrong as draw was enough for carlsen.calculation of highest oder by the great carlsen

[@PatrickMcF]

Once again an excellent episode. Great explanations and analysis spoken with well controlled passion, Honestly, you make the game sound like a ball game match between two teams. The speed of your narration must also be commended , thank you. To all the haters, this is just my opinion, of which I am entitled to share & like arseholes ....everybody has one!

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks very much glad you’re enjoying!

[@stewiegriffin6503]

am shocked

[@asmithgames5926]

Epic!

[@peterviglietta4207]

Does any one know of a channel where they just post a video of the game without any talking or showing side lines. Do difficult to just be able to go and watch these games

[@epicchess2021]

Quite a few do but they small usually

[@cr0mag732]

Pawn to F5 is such a ludicrous move, who would play that

[@weetjijwel050]

I got a Q: is it your enthousiasm talking about it, or it Magnus doing crazy, but brilliant, stuff on the board almost every day now? Ive been watching, and i get the impression that this period for him is becoming epic. Is that true? If not, you should be in sales 😁👍

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah he is in form of his life just untouchable

[@weetjijwel050]

Is he, or does he care less (having achieved it all) and can play without stress, and THEREFOR making him absolutely brilliant? Thats what it looks like to me@@epicchess2021

[@kaldrazadrim]

SInce this was Armageddon, a draw was a loss for Fabi.

[@kenw2225]

I would went Bxd6 instead of Nxg7. Still might be losing but no way I accept the counter attack queen trade the way fabi did here. Tough loss for him

[@hohaia01]

Hoovering is not a word

[@epicchess2021]

Vacuum **

[@nicoakabani]

7:59 isn't there a full rook hanging as well?

[@stopover1238]

I did not see so deep

[@shawnlavigne9069]

Superlative.

[@zacharysherry2910]

I made the most complex queen sac mate today that i have in 30,000 games! 🎉

[@raymondlego1701]

Gm Magnus Carlsen is not called the G.O.A.T. for nothing ... he came back winning by trailing 1- 2 , after he equalized .the score 2-2 and then in the armageddon game being less than 6 minutes than Fabi ....he managed to win the game anyway .... the G.O.A.T stroke again ... !!! ... WOW ... GENIOUS PLAY

[@NotPeteMcCabe]

Am I reading this wrong? It looks to me like Magnus took 6 minutes to play C5 in response to e4. Is that right? That might be the most amazing thing about this game (if it's right).

[@epicchess2021]

It’s Armageddon so he started with less time but only has to draw to get the ‘win’

[@maximos905]

I don't know how magnus does it but it looks like he toys with his opponents, how did he end up with a rook up when it seemed like he was losing the first half of the game

[@thebasementengineer]

Cariana just lulling away a completely winning position. He should definitely do less drugs before playing chess tournaments.

[@victorfinberg8595]

a "blunder" to force a draw i.e. a win because of the rules of engagement. what is chess coming to ?

[@JoseFranciscoAlburqueque]

grab a pint and forget about chess... cheers!

[@mcronrn]

I’m crowdfunding to cover Magnus’ 10k fine for his early withdrawal against Hans. Please give generously.

[@epicchess2021]

Haha

[@stephenr80]

And then people really wonder why Magnus felt Hans was cheating. Magnus is way ahead of anybody else, if he sensed that Hans was playing weirdly and we add the controversial review Hans did about his game later on where he couldnt explain the moves then I am sorry for Hans but I think he cheated even if maybe only that time to get attention, sponsors, fame
