Fabiano Caruana vs Veselin Topalov - 2nd Sinquefield Cup 2014

[@elbay2]

Unreal performance by the young man! And he's so unassuming to boot! As usual; well done and thanks for posting this!

[@ChessNetwork]

Thanks elbay.

[@PuRePsYKoTiic]

Jerry, you are the only educational chess channel on youtube that actually is good at teaching players in all skill ranges. You have videos for beginners, amateurs, national masters(like yourself), and even grand masters. You run this channel so well, i enjoy every single video you put out, and what i enjoy even more about your channel is when i comment on a video, there is a very good chance that you will respond. Hopefully u see this comment :P or what i just said is null and void hahahaha

[@donarturka8402]

Jerry thank you for all of your videos..!!! Your channel is THE best in all of KZbin!!!

[@Lapskaus.]

Caruanas 6/6 speaks for it self, it does not get any better and be sure to remember that all this is in the strongest avg rating tournament so far in history. Thanks for the insightful review Jerry!

[@ChessNetwork]

Fabiano Caruana vs Veselin Topalov Thank you in advance for rating/sharing etc... Enjoy! :) #chess #caruana #topalov 

[@JasonSpano]

As always, that was an awesome commentary. I love watching these! Thank you for sharing!

[@ChessNetwork]

Jason Spano Thanks Jason! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@lucarnauddunoyer5058]

Let put that clearly --> Now on, I like your videos before I even watch them! The same for Mato videos.

[@ChessNetwork]

Dubious Doctor Thanks for the suggestion, though I'll likely keep the format as is.

[@ralmoritz]

Great video as always. I don't think I've ever not learned something from watching one of your videos!

[@RanjithRamachandra]

Thanks Jerry for the video. Understanding the play at that level without you explaining would be really tough.

[@JoseDownUnder]

Thanks Jerry. nowadays I am waiting for your new uploads each day :)

[@Urza26]

Been following his games in this tournament. Caruana is a monster.

[@oliverupload]

amazing analysis. Looking forward to your analysis of the championship match.

[@bookle5829]

ChessNetwork shirt - But we don't go in that direction... :3

[@andyisyoda]

It's ether that or Pigs! Pigs on the 7th!

[@thechris312]

Or tricky knight! Forks... Comcast gambit etc... haha

[@bookle5829]

Adobe Flash gambit!

[@LENPR]

Ohhkay =)

[@MrLimon27]

Thanks for the video!

[@BillyStewartGuitar]

I think we are seeing Carlsen's true challenger come to light.

[@adityavv96]

Don't 4gt Wei Yi

[@Kobs.A]

@@adityavv96 lol

[@Axartsme]

This was the most exciting game I have seen live in a long time! I think Fabi should be the one going for the throne after this :)

[@PatrickFestaPatman]

Excellent! You really explained a lot. Particularly about Topalov's mistakes. I see now that, while Caruana is great, he may be getting lucky, (As he has said himself). It seems if Topalov stopped making some mistakes , he would be the one near the top. We saw the Carlsen game with him drawn, when he almost won. And after the game Carlsen told him the move he missed.

[@ISwearSheLooked19]

omg those videos are amazing in 1.5 speed

[@Gabrielul7]

Very nice game!

[@MoonBurn13]

Beautiful attacking game. I keep wondering why White didn’t play 7. PK5. Yes it costs a tempo, but the Pawn is nicely placed to e.p. Black’s QP and break up any potential “spearhead” such as he achieved in the game?

[@Badbishop4point3]

Right on point Sir. Rg8 ?? 21 Rd8 was premature. Queen on c7 is no longer doing anything. 21 Qc6 and the game continues advantage white. Great commentary Jerry. Thanks for sharing.

[@dumpnchase]

Thanks for the analysis. Caruana is on a roll.

[@fredludd]

The chess in this tournament might be objectively better, Jerry, but I prefer the excitement of your games in Bullet tournaments

[@vicvil1980]

I agree. Jerry sounds bored with standard games. I'm going to stick with king crusher's analysis, for standard games. He sounds enthusiastic about them.

[@JiveDadson]

Vic Vil We don't go in that direction.

[@vicvil1980]

Lol

[@coosoorlog]

***** :D

[@HunterBelkiran]

Wow Fabiano! Simply amazing :D

[@Andronache1000]

"Fabulous Fabiano" has scored again :D

[@flecisum]

unstoppable

[@THT619]

Caruana is putting up the highest performance rating in the history of chess

[@BlackPawnMartyr]

like it, thanks for sharing.

[@user-xk2hs9qu8m]

Rapidly posted and instructive commentary, thank you. Engrossing, enjoyable and talent-filled as this little tournament is, the repeated 'strongest in history' label is a technical thing (FIDE rating) and not wholey accurate. For example the Hastings tournament of 1895 (before plane travel, internet, sponsorship, etc). You Google it, and those label users can have an appropiate reality check. A delight to be able to follow today's best, however!

[@vmmcmc]

Is it me or do you sound like you are really bored while commenting the game? You may really like the game, but it doesn't seem that you are externalizing it in that case. Anyways, thanks for the video.

[@JJony123]

Sounds like he needs some sleep. Seems very tired

[@Bhurin]

Jerry is super chill in these analyses. His kibitzing videos tend to be more animated, and his own tournament videos are bonkers. I feel this gives his various audiences what they want - professional-style reviews and ones more for pure entertainment.

[@donarturka8402]

What should he do..? Scream, laugh, clap...? He does it just right. Go watch Kingscrusher's videos where he coughs, sneezes and has a lollipop in his mouth.. Jerry has by far the best channel on KZbin!!!

[@qKirbyp]

I got called out for saying this a few videos ago. Some people like very structured , serious toned, rehearsed videos I guess.

[@persinders]

VM MC I'm going to have to disagree, the professional, analytical approach is appropriate and what I expect to see when it comes to high end games.

[@ayokunnu1]

Wow chess is beautiful

[@KAMIKAZECHESS]

fabiano the beast

[@DocterSable]

FIRST Also, thanks as always, Jerry!

[@JohnFWitt]

Caruana is absolutely dominating.

[@LeoSkyro]

Fabiano is on fire, let's just hope he doesnt collapse at the first loss, if he gets any

[@pmyraje]

There's uncastledness!

[@jeffwads]

Magnus should tell FIDE to kiss off and arrange a match with Don Fabiano to be played at the same time as the WC match.

[@websnarf]

Fischer did 6-0 against Taimanov and Larsen. In 1994, Karpov won Linares with an incredible 11/13 against all of the top players in the world at the time. It is still early to say, but this performance by Caruana looks to be in that category. On the other hand, Taimanov and Larsen were *not* the *very* top players in the world at the time (Fischer still had Petrosian and Spassky to deal with, and he never had to face his arch nemesis, Tal). Karpov had some free points coming from Polgar and Lautier at Linares. Caruana has only MVL, Toppy and Naka as the "weaklings" in this tournament. I guess in reality, this is, so far, the strongest performance of any chess play in a tournament.

[@BZCAPMOOR]

Caruana the Crusher!

[@WildWhirlWind]

holy shit Caruana is so strong

[@unholyftw]

wow this was a cool ending

[@omartin1593]

But we don't go in that direction...

[@spiggs2182]

Thirsty Mcnuggets just stopping by to say he thinks Jerry is the cat's meow, the top, the best. Keep em coming Jerry...Celebratory granola for all!!!

[@alephnull4044]

Caruana didn't just win like Fischer in this tournament, he played like the guy too.

[@anttuber]

I starting to think Magnus Carlsen , disguised his “son” a Fabio ‘Carauna’. Secretly known as Carlsen Jr!

[@benpork8533]

Caruana is next Kasparov. Caruana verse Carlsen match will occur in the world championship, and like Kasparov verse Karpov it will be exciting.

[@darwincosadr]

I'd love to see just how much Fabiano's rating is going to go up after this tournament

[@ChessNetwork]

It's right about 2830 in the live ratings.

[@aryesegal1988]

take a look at 2700chess.com

[@JoeBruin96]

Caruana wins the games before they even begin by striking fear into his opponents

[@ex59neo53]

Am I the only one who thinks that ,strangely ,chess game level in the 10s is not as enjoyable as in the 70-90s ?

[@generalaladeen9863]

whenever the tapalov guy things, blunders.
