You gotta love Sagar’s commentary…it’s like watching a movie..🙂

Why do I have a feeling that sagar recorded this videos in the air plane? 😂😂

I enjoy the commentary as I’m new to chess but with Sagar speaking everything is understandable

[@julianc691]

if you are new to chess you won't learn anything from here. This is top level chess that is far too complicated for beginner level. I suggest MatoJelic ChessSchool channel. Study the old masters like Petrosian,Capablanca ,Paul Keres and Nimzowitsch . Also the book My System by Aron Nimzowitsch its a must. After you do all of that you can say that you have a small basis and you can start watching top level chess

[@supernatural_fanz]

Wow commentary on a classical game😮...nicely done Sagar

[@chesswithsamarth1004]

Magnus new haircut 🔥🔥😅

[@cuebj]

Watched a few chess videos recently. A thought: the very bad posture from sitting bent over a board. As 68-year-old, it's something I've become aware of on top of what I knew from sitting at computer desk (arranged as ergonomic as possible). Sitting makes the lower part of my back suffer. Now, I stand at computer. Perhaps there are small gains over a year of competing from analysing posture and doing back strengthening exercises like planks and pushups. Like British Cycling and Team Sky did with, eg team bus and personal mattress and pillow for each rider in place of hotel bedlinen during Tour de France - mocked at first, now all teams do it.

[@omkarshahane3321]

These type of videos are the best.Please upload in similar format only

[@mcasariego]

You always add so much human value to the (already huge) logical value of the game of chess, that you manage to enlarge the beauty of it somehow. Thanks!!

[@JohnPaulCauchi]

These are great, more of these please!

3:25 "DID YOU GUYS NOTICED MAGNUS CUT HIS HAIR FOR THIS EVENT, HE CAME GROOMED AND PREPARED" ahahaha the commentator🤣😂

[@manuelalmeida2635]

broo yess hahah, I love the commentator!!

[@randyp0514]

Chess is a game of look each other in the eyes the least amount of times as possible.

[@cuebj]

Likely many on autism spectrum. Seen that many times with people on the spectrum

[@fritzlange7934]

I remember playing a match and I was stressed out of my mind, I decided to look up at my opponent and he looked more stressed than me so I managed to relax and win the game lol.

[@Snadaaahhh]

More of this please

Your commentary is very entertaining thank you for making these videos

The slow deliberate clock presses are like visual ASMR lol

Great video, thx Sagar

[@alexandroschatzopoulos7285]

The girl who was playing behind mangus was looking at magnus more than her game 😂 clearly in love with the champ❤

[@upplsuckimcool16]

Best chess commentary I've ever heard. As someone who loves chess but doesn't really play it, but can understand it to a small degree... this guy explains what's going on PERFECTLY. He doesn't confuse you with analysis that goes 25 moves into the future just to satisfy his own curiosity.... he sticks with a simple narrative that really exposes what is going on in a simple easy to follow way. The way he commentates makes it feel like ur watching a strategic battle in a war, which makes it very enjoyable to watch.

[@ericastier1646]

Well said, i am like you and Sagar lets me see more things but respects my level which is low and he also respects the game of Chess and the players. Great voice too and he gives full satisfaction. Makes a game that would frustrate me to watch into something interesting.

[@matt4477]

Hopefully you’ve seen other matches he’s done. Sometimes he gets really excited and it’s even better!

[@alexmazzei6425]

Very good an professional comments!

[@wfsm1th]

These long form games make Magnus seems like an amazign opponent.

Sir Sagar Shah, you are LEGEND, Can you help me to get trained, to become WCC

[@vacziimre]

Great commentary, thanks! Fortunately Sagar has no heavy Indian accent, so I can easily understand :)

[@PrismaticCS]

If "Do I have to?" was incarnated into a person. Just gets up from the desk no matter the vibe, dancing around in panic or lazily coming back only to quickly swipe a piece and shove off again. Dude even shows up with a water bottle and gets the "are you serious right now" look from the opponent. As a newcomer to this scene, what am I watching?

[@deathereditzzzz]

Alhamdulillah i am a muslim❤❤.....keep going brother i am absolutely with you everytime,👍👍

You predict every move . I think you should be world champion sir.

[@maartenroose878]

I think Sagar must be analysing these games after they were played and then he makes the video and adds commentary, otherwise he is better than Magnus ;) it looks like he knows every winning move haha

[@ericastier1646]

@@maartenroose878Yes of course, live commenting are much inferior even when GM's do it in fact so bad that i prefer silence in live game or a post game well prepared and balanced analysis work and entertainment that Sagar has the recipe for.

In the whole double knight attack debacle, whats wrong with Qa1? lol

[@swaminathaniyer288]

I had the same thought but it wasn't discussed

[@ChessGuideManoj]

and What is your Queen doing in corner? Why do you want to play Passively if you have active plan in hand...So like Sagar commented 26.h3 was good move there...(26. Qa1?! Ne4 with idea of 27...Qd2, so eventually to stop Qd2 insertion you'll have to play Qb2 again, which is time wasting.

[@lindsaygaga4587]

Sagar low key saying Magnus looked like Einstein 😂😂😂

[@ericastier1646]

That would be an insult. The infamous einstein was a plagiarist propped by the J press. He stole the theory of relativity from the French Mathematician Henri Poincaré et also stole Hilbert's Transform. He deserves little to no credit, he was incapable of pure mathematics and should be seen more as a secretary who could shuffle other's ideas, something similar to his clerk work in the patent office. It's all political, he should never have been given credit.
