Magnus played this game almost flawlessly

[@user-bn3ut9jv7e]

Always dies against hikaru. Meanwhile, he plays meh against others. Just goes to show, he means business with hikaru and considers him worthy.

What a lovely architecture that Morocco has

[@jsparrowau]

I have visited Morocco. Marrakesh is amazing for architecture also

[@adilalaoui5636]

it's called zalij in morrocan language

[@fatyfaty573]

It's moroccan zallij

[@fuaddumalang4056]

Sudah ku duga pasti ada yang terpakau dengan desain dan arsitektur bangunannya❤

[@titashbanerjea4289]

Was so lovely to see Magnus rearranging the pieces after the game, reminded me of someone who takes inspiration from him, Gukesh :)

[@AryanDevkota500]

This love of chess makes him best player

[@rohangangan8327]

Gukesh does not take inspiration from magnus, this is the first time Magnus has put the pieces back while Gukesh has formed the habit since his childhood after being taught by his teacher to respect the board. Take your mouth of Magnus's dick

[@SmileAndWave69]

He almost always rearranges the pieces after the game, regardless of the result

[@SunsetNova]

Moroccan architecture is so beautiful 😍

[@nyztan0]

Love this format, creative, thanks for the recap

[@Democracyphobia]

As a moroccan I'm really happy to see these legends of the game in my country . The moonish architecture is mind blowing , everything is carved by hand the same way it's been done since medieval times .the amount of complex shapes those craftsmen manage to achieve is out of this world.

[@VaRag98]

What a man!!! Magnus Carlsen 🦾🦾

[@rishik1471]

What a beautiful scenic place, intricate carvings. So many distractions…not so. Chess rules!!!

[@itsmeproton]

Bro your content and efforts are just brilliant

[@danielhowe7362]

I love the Idea, the Spirit of this Variant!!

[@olsenastrid188]

what a superb historic building

[@awesomeninja234]

More tournaments should be creative like this

[@krishrao2778]

comparison of two chess eras is an awesome idea.

[@manojradhakrishnan5686]

Thanks Sagar ,your videos are always a source of pleasure! Am an adult beginner who got a lot from your down to earth way of communicating chess ideas.please continue 🙂🙏

[@lightofscorpio9396]

good event, i think they need to further investigate some of the choices so theres no boring positions that are drawish. thank you for the commentry!

[@higgledypiggledycubledy8899]

Love this format, it's the same they do with engines: don't let them start the game or they'll make a draw, so give them an interesting starting position to work with

[@jsparrowau]

Wow what a venue!

[@magnus948]

Boss level magnus

[@006_abhijitsrivastava9]

Wow magnus lovely player of this lovely game

[@utarian7]

I loathe opening theory so enjoy this format, and very much love Fischer Random.

[@suresh.palaparthi]

1:36 Hikaru Should file a patent on this expression.

[@azmatfatima5834]

It was a great variant

[@zakariabelhfid1370]

Beautiful Casablanca

[@palmtreegal3]

Great game by magnus!

[@DJhbkYT]

Commentator shah ❌ architect shah ✅

[@nabilhmidouch2019]

Hikaru always try to surprise Magnus with weird moves to somehow get him out of preparation. But Magnus doesn't rely on preparations much he instead uses his brain instead and always spends more minutes in the first moves. Hikaru should just play normal chess and see where it leads him. That bishop move instead of pawn move was just him overthinking and giving the game away.

[@dadaoluwasijibomi7129]

Prep???

[@nabilhmidouch2019]

It is said that Magnus remembers every historical game by heart. So Hikaru might have played with that in mind ​@@dadaoluwasijibomi7129

[@asifshaheedniloy]

1:06 Magnus always shakes his hands standing ❤

[@Journeyman4Love]

Love the format.. maybe it favours the creative players.

[@user-xw2sd9ic4d]

Magnus is another planet

[@hossainzunaid3960]

Now I am convinced that actually Magnus is the GOAT. Other players can survive against him only because of engines. The moment they are out of memorized lines, they are doomed

[@dariusnistor2341]

Wow

[@SalsTopVideos]

That long word "cheeeecckk" made me laugh 😂😂 overall good game

[@ArkosDash]

man I love Indian commentators

[@Red1Rayan]

[@swapnilnath]

[@Midnight_9595]

Hope so you defend like him as well.

[@ilyasgood526]

[@UKMC2390]

Anand lost in 10 moves

[@el_chapo3097]

Hikaru can’t beat magnus last 3 games uploaded

[@Blue_Blunder]

Nakamura is very weak against Carlsen. He can't play well🫢

[@RorroLabbe-wh4nh]

Si no, me paraba a saludar...reto de mi.mama.
