Drawnish Giri: "My 60 most memorable draws - an analysis of how to never win a position that can be drawn".

[@epicchess2021]

😆

[@bokehintheussr5033]

Hes such a genius he deliberately makes things harder on himself just so he doesnt get bored.

[@opinionhaver574]

"...using the enemy pawn as a shield..." Magnus is like one of the action movie heroes that uses a bad guy as a body shield when getting shot at by other bad guys. When you're down material sometimes it works to use your opponent's pieces.

[@RafaelSang-tq8ur]

That is one of the defensive tools: using the opponent's pawn as a shield because it can not move to attack in this case.

My book is of course my 60 memorable en passants lmao

[@galois6569]

Looking forward to it

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

Two great attacks where the attacker went wrong and met great resistance. Thanks James.

[@kaldrazadrim]

Awesome game. Magnus is really fun to watch. Can you imagine how intimidating it is to play against his crazy moves?

[@KvS1248]

No, but ask Jan Gustav 😉

[@SuperAj303]

At 9.37 it's suggested that Kf4 can be followed with Qc1+. But an even better response is Qe3+ checkmate.

[@trafyknits9222]

The "Kato" reference is awesome. Good job, excellent commentary/analysis.

[@epicchess2021]

Haha thanks a lot!

[@sjcarr89]

Love the analysis and commentary. Keep up the good work.

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot!

[@jasmint6703]

GREATLY appreciate that you didn't spoil the result of the game in the thumbnail or title. Way to save it for the end!

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah I’ll generally try not to! Thanks for watching

[@BEATREACHERZ]

Incredible game great commentary Thanks ! Keep Plowing On !

hell yes baby keep plowing on!

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot haha

I don't know why plough sounds so funny😂

[@aaronjohn6586]

Kato is actually from a TV show from the 1960's called The Green Hornet, the character Kato was played by Bruce Lee.

[@epicchess2021]

Oh cool, but then that must be a different Kato right? Cato I’m referencing is spelt with a ‘C’ www.theguardian.com/film/2016/may/24/burt-kwouk-cato-from-pink-panther-dies-age-85#:~:text=Pink%20Panther%20star%20Burt%20Kwouk,the%20BBC%20revealed%20the%20news.

[@osgubben]

Cato, the «sparring partner» of Inspector Clouseau. The Pink Panther movies by Peter Sellers. The best comedian movies ever. Be a man/woman of culture: watch them!!

[@jatojo]

The Dane has actually done really well in this tournament - unbeaten after seven rounds.

[@negotiationexperts9539]

I'm waiting for you to call one of Magnus' opponent's a 'slouch'. Surely all his opponents can't be called 'no slouch'.

[@epicchess2021]

Haha dunno if that day will ever come!

[@alexlavertyau]

Watching with analysis always make it much more enjoyable, love your content 👍

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot!

[@seanmacdude]

Another banger both from Magnus and you, really enjoying the games, thanks

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks very much glad you enjoyed!

[@RafaelSang-tq8ur]

Magnus seems to be doing a lot of home cooking with an opening book from the 70s, there are a lot of obscure recipes in the old and odd openings. On the other hand, maybe Magnus is taking a lesson from the old GM Lajos Portisch who had his openings work in a black briefcase that he carried everywhere. Magnus has all the openings in his memory.

[@bloodmoney88]

Thanks for your journalism. neat work & entertaining.

[@epicchess2021]

no worries glad you enjoyed!

[@johnantonakis94]

Raises, not 'begs, the question." Else your prose is unmatched for humor and metaphor! 😁

[@2199SPUDMAN]

Already playing a dubious defense as black, Magnus gives a 2600 player two more tempi AND sacs his queen and still draws the game. It's almost like an anti-chess: how much risk can he take without losing?

[@Christoff070]

Lol the Giri book cracked me up, classic!!😅😅😅

[@epicchess2021]

😆

[@skysurfer5cva]

Nice reference to Cato. I love the old Pink Panther movies.

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah! Thanks haha

[@rp1894]

15. rc5 isn't risky. It's the top engine move by -0.7.

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah but my point was bringing the major pieces into centre of board when all pieces is still on board is, as a rule of thumb, risky and uncommon

[@benoplustee]

I'd never heard of/seen young kramnik's hairdo but I'm very glad i know it now lol

[@epicchess2021]

😆

[@mcronrn]

No way that guy is sleeping tonight, after fluffing that position against Magnus. No way his fist isn’t going thru a wall after he sees the eval… 🤯

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah was a great chance!

If I’m Magnus’ teammates, I might be asking him to play his real repertoire lol

Great reference to Katie….. from someone old enough to!

Haha thanks 😁

[@hnr63]

Excellent commentary

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Wow at one point it was a knight Bishop and 6 pawns against 4 pawns and a Queen I’m sure Magnus’s opponent was slightly satisfied with the Draw he played a Great Game almost Good enough to win Buy Magnus is that Gifted player comes up with Best Moves to keep himself in Game and almost get the Win himself Thanks James

The Giri meme made me laugh out loud.

[@epicchess2021]

Haha yeah that one gets me every time

[@woahblow4127]

Does Magnus ask his opponents before he gives move odds? I have no issues with it but considering this is a tournament with people from all over Europe maybe some cultures think it's disrespectful?

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah sometimes can be but this is an actual opening system tbf!

[@segercliffhanger]

Phalanx, plow, you're all getting us hooked on lost words :). Carlsen there, perhaps offered one tempo too much in the first couple of moves, later not holding on to his rook after the queen sac, to set up the exact right amount of resistance from his opponent. Wow. It's a personal laboratory he's in, that he runs to keep his heart rate above 80. Let's all be glad he's a chess player, not working in science.

[@epicchess2021]

haha yeah great words and yeah he was lucky to escape with a draw!

[@Seaoftea]

I feel like Magnus is telling us that opening theory is all hogwash. The only thing that matters is endgame.

[@EdMcF1]

Spoiler: There's a great Queen sac incoming. Plus, Cato is fantastic.

[@andrewnagi7765]

EPIC

[@TruthSurge]

funny that some opening moves are considered bad moves but Carlsen plays them anyway. Disrespecting his opponents and insulting their intelligence. hehe I've been binge-watching these Carsen vs vids. This stuff makes one wonder at what point if any do you not have choices anymore but only a predetermined set of moves. Maybe that's part of Carlsen's method. Shake up the norm and see what happens.

[@unknownfilmmaker777]

3:00 Begs the question doesn't mean "raises" the question. It is a type of fallacy regarding circular logic and has nothing to do with raising a question. While I'm saving the world, I'll also point out that people need to use their turn signals.

[@epicchess2021]

Haha I mean very common turn of phrase right! And we say ‘indicators’ over here not ‘turn signals’ 😉😁

[@unknownfilmmaker777]

@@epicchess2021 Fair enough. The fact that "indicators" is correct does not make the other correct. Just trying to help. Thanks for the awesome videos and keep up the great work.

Its really annoying your video titles promise much more always. Pure clickbait. Never clicking again.

[@epicchess2021]

Oh sorry to hear that. I mean it genuinely wasn’t intended as click bait. It really was the most astonishing queen sac I’ve seen him play all year, completely unjustified I felt but he wanted to make it complicated and not take a draw so he went for it and it shocked me at the time!
