[@jozefserf2024]

Just demonstrates the depth of prep we saw in the match. However Nepo needed the win and had to risk unsound moves.

[@PayperPaper]

Well said. The pressure of that definitely did not help.

[@TomLiberman]

There's unsound and there's downright silly. I think Ian crossed over onto the wrong side with this effort.

[@gerokron3412]

Nepo didn´t even see the truck that ran over him. Carlsen is in a league of it´s own. Great analysis, thx Jerry!

[@looinrims]

I mean carlsen had it easier given that Ian had no choice but to play strange moves for a win using the black pieces

[@stefanvichev8882]

​@looinrims by the sound of it, Nepo and I have more in common in chess than I thought

[@glenm99]

The games that arise when one player must go for a win, rather than play "optimally," are often pretty special. To me, this is a big part of what makes match play interesting. I wonder if there are any good ways to get that excitement into a round robin tournament. Maybe each player could be assigned a few rounds where a win would score 1.5 or 2 instead of 1, for instance. I'm not saying that all tournaments are boring and have to be changed, but a variety of tournament rule sets encourages different styles of play and makes chess in general more entertaining.

[@lincolndethomasis6602]

I only play Swiss tournaments and have had the opposite happen where both me and my opponent needed a draw to win rating group prizes in the last round.

[@MaestroColucci]

An absolute lesson! Thanks, Jerry!!!

[@gbu32]

I really enjoyed your coverage of this game. Great analysis. Thanks for your selection of games to cover, they're all great games.

Hi Jerry, merry Christmas :) thanks for all the instructive videos

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you. Merry Xmas.

Great content as always man.

[@YesPlease1]

Would love if you also cover game 2 from Carlsen/Nepo CCT! Thanks for this one!

[@kirkmason7079]

Magnus adding support to his pawn on d4 with Be3 before moving Nf3 is an important lesson.

[@davesmith5656]

Love the first three minutes where you clearly describe the strategic positioning.

[@ChessNetwork]

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed. Position before submission. 😎

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

If he plays like this in New York later in the week it will be hard to see anything other than another rapid world championship for Carlsen, though he is still favourite for the blitz the new format might give other chances. Very instructive analysis. Thanks Jerry.

[@ChessNetwork]

It’ll be an interesting event I’m sure. 😎

[@Grandcapi]

Great game.

[@Thesouthernlight1]

I love the way you explain chess. So cool♡

[@ChessNetwork]

Thanks 👍

[@ashoksafaya5397]

Thanks for the nice analysis ❤, outside the game as well.

[@kh3777]

The best player won deservedly so with natural flowing moves by instinct.😮

[@mathistruth9105]

Yo jerry, whats your 3 minute puzzle rush score?

[@alexandershorse9021]

Carlsen shows why he’s still without peer, even if he’s not the FIDE classical world champion.

[@erikskov8759]

Yep, but that's FIDE's problem.

Simple chess! Thank you Jerry!

[@markphc99]

I saw it live ,after castling kingside black was mincemeat.Watching thereafter felt almost obscene

[@davvves7977]

Thanks Jerry!

[@kebabsausen]

Carlsen ready for action in New York City's financial district on December 26-31, 2024, for the FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Chess Championship! Who can stop him?!

[@DannythePeach]

This is why playing the French is brutal. Whites control over the f6 and d6 squares is dominating, black rarely wants to play f6 and dismantling the pawn center can seem impossible at times

[@KF1]

Nice moves

[@ADubs2121]

I can’t keep up with all these videos because I fall asleep too fast 😭

[@ricky2319]

I thought I was the only one. Jerry is definitely much slower to analyze and goes into too many sidelines (for my taste) instead of showing the actual game, and I sometimes have trouble staying awake or interested til the end.

[@Thesouthernlight1]

Oh my god😭 I thought I was the only one! Honestly doesn't matter when I watch it I just can't seem to stay awake to the end of the video😭

[@kingcarisma]

If he just shows the actual moves played, it's not called analyzis..I don't know the name for it, but analyzis it's not.. Moronic maybe

[@ricky2319]

@ Note that I said “too many sidelines.” Emphasis on “too many.” I’m not asking to remove them. Sidelines are essential to analysis, but there needs to be a balance. Say what you want about Agadmator or Gotham but I’m never bored watching a game recap by them because I think they have struck the right balance. Moronic is taking every bit of criticism as a personal attack.

[@MrSupernova111]

@@ricky2319 . Gotham and Agad are for beginners.

[@BREAKocean]

This game felt like a morphy game in the 1800s god damn

[@PaladinswordSaurfang]

What if instead of resigning nepo played Be7? I imagine Nxg7 and white would probably win eventually. Is that it?

[@kamerona]

Mate I'm only 1800, but anyone who plays the French for any amount of time knows how dangerous it is castling king side in those types of positions! Nepo committed ritual suicide with that move! Love the analysis Jerry as always, thanks!

[@MrSupernova111]

Everything is so simple for spectators.

[@cptnoremac]

I played as the black pieces in an OTB tournament against an NM last week who played the advanced French against me. He threw his h pawn at me and I knew I'd get smashed if I castled, so I just left my king in the center and I held him to a draw.

[@ChessNetwork]

Nice! Congrats on the draw against an NM. 👍

[@cptnoremac]

Hi Jerry.

[@K.Khalil]

I've never played the french defence as black and I have no intention of ever doing so. It's just so weak.

really jerry? french toast?
