I don't know any openings, so for me the middle game begins on move one.

[@epicchess2021]

😂

[@CheckmateSurvivor]

Please try this different setup variant: krnnqbbr/pppppppp/pppp4/8/8/4PPPP/PPPPPPPP/RBBQNNRK/

[@undokat]

for me it's usually the beginning of the endgame

[@Trias805]

I know two openings: e4 and d4

[@joker0206]

The only one I know, is opening the board and setting the pieces up.

[@DjSapsan]

Magnus didn't miss the mate in 1. He found the mate in tens of moves. He skipped the mate in 1 in order to kramnik remove him from the list of cheaters. Truly GOAT !

[@epicchess2021]

🤣

[@jamiemoore1056]

He is playing the game plus reality. Real 4d chess

[@-yeme-]

insane that hikaru would blunder mate in 1 and magnus would miss it

[@discrep]

Despite these guys often playing technically brilliant blitz games that rival classical games for accuracy, it's still blitz. These super GMs might have a blind spot for horrific blunders when facing other top guys. Like giving them too much respect.

[@wallysullivan9315]

Told myself Id try to never blunder mate in 1 again, but seeing this game just made me permanently lose hope

[@epicchess2021]

😂

[@chloesmith4065]

The more time you have per turn, the easier it is to not blunder. This, of course, was a blitz game, so...

[@bartsefer5138]

They both saw it, but they were just having a good time together..

[@sambomcl]

The GOAT misses the most obvious checkmate. Stunning stuff.

[@MVuke84]

@@HelloWorld12347 True, I didn't realize all that 😂

I think it’s a situation where he trusted Hikaru wouldn’t blunder mate so he didn’t even consider it. I’ve done it in games many times (far more obvious mistakes too)

[@jamess3159]

Spoiler comment.

[@kandyfloss6b]

The GOAT misses an obvious checkmate. It's confirmed. Magnus and I are on the same level! 😂

[@thebenc1537]

Cool, I didn't know about that trick with the bishop two squares away from a knight.

[@Incognian]

This dude's commentary is just wild man

[@epicchess2021]

😆

[@jasonuerkvitz3756]

The narration is always on point, mate. Simply hilarious. If I was twenty years younger, I'd love to have a run on the pitch after fighting in the scrum, promptly followed by a savory pint at the local with you, but I fear at my old age, you'd leave me crying in the wee-woo wagon. As it stands, I'm simply reeling from that Kasparov sequence. Those edits were too funny. But then you checkmate me with the Kramnik procedure. You're on another level. Simply the Meme-lord of Chess, my friend.

Hahaha thanks a lot yeah I like a bit of dry comedy lol, sending stuff up, and yeah love my rugby been injured recently but will be back soon. Thanks a lot for watching and commenting!

Hikaru was atrocious in that endgame

[@DrBjamin]

Magnus and Hikaru both bet the spread and needed a win in over 26 moves .. that's why Magnus didn't take the mate in 1, he'd lose his $$$

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

Could not believe this when i saw it, was at work and logged on to titled tuesday just in time to see the mate in one and then he missed it. the blunders afterwards were more understandable, due to time pressure. But that was crazy. thanks James.

[@gergelyolasz1164]

Comon guys any of you believe Hikaru and Magnus didn't saw mate in one. LoL you all lost your mind. Ofc Hikaru saw its a lost game and offered Magnus a win, but Magnus didnt accepted.

[@jrbleau]

This was a horribly played game.

[@jaysant6958]

Thanks for showing the shadow now for the last move made. That helps greatly. Now my only suggestion is to not do the whisper thing plz.

we're in the BAT CAVE hahaha

If they make a movie about Magnus he should be played by Peter Dinklage.

[@joker0206]

5:50 I saw it a few moves earlier, except, I would have done it and lost the queen, not won the game 😂😂

[@pawnoir]

4:29 Stockfish plays Bxf7+ and it's game over

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Incredible the blunder by Magnus but that endgame by Hikaru missing several chances to draw the game was atrocious easier said than done in a rapid Blitz or Bullet game but those moves are right there in front of you Hikaru trade the Rook grab Magnus pawn than proceed to draw the game how he did not go that route was awful Thanks for the Game James

[@vinozarazzi5633]

Kramnik now has absolute proof that the GOAT is receiving his moves "Niemann Style" during the game... From a class D player!😮😊😅😂🎉

[@MVuke84]

I feel so much better that even the legends miss simple mate in ones 😂.....Chess is the best when you have to make split second decisions

[@michaelmassaro4375]

No chess is the best when the best moves are played which takes time decisions made in matter of mere seconds are not the best moves which is why a Blitz or Bullet will never reach Immortal level like Classical

[@NotSomeone68]

A generic commentor so good, Kramnik does the procedure on him.

[@HelloWorld12347]

So you do take requests seriously...😂. Thanks for covering this! Wild Game

Always a lot of nerves when these two play. I've been following Hikaru for a long time and he simply plays worse against Magnus bc of the Magnus effect. I think it's a confidence thing.
