I like that you keep the result until the end; had me on my toes the whole time!

[@RidingBones]

love how you let the opening develop while introducing the video. Thanks so much for that.

[@thejupiter1744]

Alekhine would never have missed the . . . Rd2!! move. Indeed, of all the world champions when a position was mega complicated and with the pawns and pieces “up in the air” he would always find that “freak move” to win.

[@RobBCactive]

Thanks Dan, saw this game first in another channel, but I learned much more with your explanation

PowerPlayChess Done last week!

[@herzwatithink9289]

Brilliant game, great commentary!

[@ivicapavic3381]

Many people don't know this channel is run by Daniel King. Perhaps you should've chosen your name for the channel name, I'm sure you would have twice as many subscribers. Because, in the mid-late 90s era you and Maurice were the best chess commentators by far and everyone remembers you from Intel world series tournaments.

[@drutgat2]

Thanks for this Daniel.

[@MNH73]

The winning combination is extremely difficult to find but the fact MVL moved quickly at that moment shows he didn't sense the latent possibilities there - I think Tal and a few other attacking geniuses would have spent time at precisely that moment feeling intuitively there was some holes to exploit with a sacrifice. That's not to say that Tal would have found the right moves over the board but he would have given himself a chance to do so.

[@lemoncake7565]

Amazing game

[@fundhund62]

1:33 what about 10.-Nd5: 11.ed5: Bf5 ? I find it sometimes confusing in the Najdorf with which piece to take on d5. Of course there are cases when it´s pretty obvious, but this is not one of them. At least not for me. I mean, a knight looks certainly more natural with this pawn structure (h5), but I´m not sure I would have given up my bishop.

[@lukasmbrito]

Shak is on fire!

[@martincook1412]

Can't help thinking that Daniel would've hated Magnus's split rooks from move 21 onwards!

[@PowerPlayChess]

Definitely! This was a classic example. On the other side of the board, Maxime managed to coordinate his pieces beautifully.

[@tharkanzox1493]

Good game

[@TheKnightBlade4]

I didn't know Michael Bay liked chess.

[@Shockprowl]

Thrilling game. Carlsen Vs MVL for a future World Championship match! (sorry, Fabi).

[@reddevilkev]

Carlsen needs to fire on all cylinders if he wants to win the tournament now.

[@baumulrich]

there seems to have been a trend for carlsen to go away from side lines with a good position and play to main line heavy theory, why do you think that is GM King?

[@PowerPlayChess]

I think that Magnus is deliberately testing himself, trying different kinds of positions to devlelop his understanding.

[@rbnn]

Very unusual to see Carlsen with a terrible piece like that Bc6

[@BigAsciiHappyStar]

I wouldn't call Bc6 a terrible piece. Yes, it's not ideal but at least it doesn't interfere with the coordination of other pieces

[@neilsalmon5900]

Magnus dodges the Najdorf bullet just barely , he really needs to improve on his opening theory or the next world title match could be in jeopardy .

[@mwangikimani3970]

That's exactly what he should avoid against a theoretician, steer away from theory and give yourself chances to outplay them.

[@ChromaticTempest]

Magnus is playing all sorts of openings he normally wouldn't this tournament. That means he's already prepping for Fabi while giving him nothing to work with from current games.
