The insane battle between 17-year-old Gukesh vs World no.1 Magnus Carlsen

It was the first time that Gukesh played against Magnus Carlsen after becoming the World Championship Challenger. This happened at the Superbet Grand Chess Tour taking place in Warsaw, Poland. This was an exciting encounter as Gukesh went for Magnus' throat right from the get go and Magnus showed some classy play. Would Gukesh succumb or would he manage to save his position. IM Sagar Shah analyzes.

Fried Liver against Magnus was ambitious...

[@TarunsP.O.V]

People saying gukesh got lucky needs to consider this, Gukesh made only one wrong move and he got worse (Gukesh's fault) Magnus, made 2-3 inaccuracies in a completely winning position, hence, game drew (MAGNUS' FAULT)

[@atulbesra822]

Forcing Magnus into inaccuracies takes some doing. YU Wei and Abdusattarov could not force Magnus into inaccuracies and lost. Gukesh forcing Magnus into inaccuracy and escaping with a draw from a completely lost position was epic.

[@yashamonker]

it wasn't like that... GUKESH made 1 big blunder but saved the game with finding the only moves that lead to draw whereas MAGNUS missed the only move that keeps his advantage and then played the best moves after that but had already lost the advantage. So to conclude, GUKESH made 1 BLUNDER and then found the ONLY moves to save the game into DRAW. MAGNUS made 1 move that MISSED WIN for him but proceeded to find the BEST moves later on and held DRAW.

[@bmno.4565]

Getting your opponent to make unlucky games is considered a part of Chess as well (Magnus does it all the time), so well played to Gukesh.

[@saikirant]

@@atulbesra822 still he was lost after magnus wrong move .still gukesh found kinge2 was brilliant move ... anyone else under this much pressure would hav blundered

[@AL-ts6iv]

Does magnus get to play white now?

[@justanotherguy625]

Gukesh playing a slight blunder and then a series of only moves in time pressure to survive against arguably the best player. Huge respect to gukesh🛐

[@user-gz9ul5dl1l]

Bro Magnus was also playing in equal time controls so it's not that unreal Gukesh is also a GM there's not that much skill gap magnus is only a human too

[@mustbeshivam]

I was waiting for Sagar Sir to upload Gukesh vs Magnus 😅

[@aryanchoudhury7859]

Sagar we need to upload the videos a little actively and before other youtubers.....although I like to watch your commentary I can't watch many of your after match analysis just becoz I have already seen it on other channels!!!! love your work🥰

[@theguy847]

Knight g3 to f4 is also a good move right?

[@007vinx]

Your videos are amazing as usual Sagar, and would like to convey immense gratitude for the amazing work you have done thus far for Indian Chess. Just a humble thought i was wondering if you could begin your videos by first showing the entire game as it was played and then move into the variations and explanations.

[@rishabhkumar2123]

Hello sir. I juss want to know what could happen if after the magnus move b5 gukesh had played N*f7... Isn't a great move at that position

[@palmtreegal3]

Love your analysis!

[@draja2006]

[@GallaghersGrub]

Great chess. Great commentary.

[@user-gz9ul5dl1l]

Bro stop making a draw sound like a big achievement Magnus was also playing in equal time controls so it's not that unreal Gukesh is also a GM there's not that much skill gap magnus is only a human too why is a draw so much glorified in these comments Just read a comment saying "gukesh drew after so many blunders wow" bro is making blunders sound like a achievement💀🫠

[@Leonhard_Euler99]

Gukesh will have a chance to become 2nd best player. That's what a WC really is. It's a fight for 2nd place.

[@-DistantHorizons-]

A part of being "the best" is winning the championship. Your rating alone isn't enough.

[@Leonhard_Euler99]

@@-DistantHorizons- I wish the best both for Ding and Gukesh, but we all know who the real world champ is.

[@MrSupernova111]

Fried Liver against Magnus. No respect. lol

[@aniketsawant447]

why was Re1 not played by Gukesh after Magnus' Be7 ? pinning his bishop down?

[@rajyavardhansinghtomar9847]

How's that even a pin rook is nicely protected by queen and a8 rook

after so blunder gukesh still manges to have a draw what a og

[@user-gz9ul5dl1l]

Making blunders sound like an achievement sure is an achievement 😂

[@Optim40]

Gukesh you're 17 not 33. You're not fooling anyone with that. And how did Magnus agree to a perpetual check when he was the one doing it ? You mean Gukesh had to agree to the perpetual check cause there was no other moves for him to counter with. That's bad use of language there. Come on man. I get you want to make him look good. But don't twist things.

I can easily watch without it😂😌

[@indianfan1029]

Dont know why players are hell bent to not trade their bishops for knights. I mean i know its a slightly inferior trade, but in this game it would have solved so many of Gukesh's problem if he had traded his light squared bishop at the start and then castled queen side if he was afraid of Carlsen's bishop on b7.
