Magnus humor is on par with his chess skill, he said the reason he didn’t promote to queen because he can’t find queen piece, so he just grab the nearest piece and that was the knight 😂

[@edsalmon1449]

I was watching this today and when I seen the commentors assume Magnus would promote to Queen and MC went knight for instant check, pure brilliance from MC.

[@epicchess2021]

yeah so good :D

[@mrtcinaroglu]

Magnus is a genius. He is simply like Mozart of chess game. He makes people love chess..

[@startupeco2257]

Incredible! Magnus is brilliant, but remember Vishy is 53 and can still find such insane resources on the board with only a couple of seconds on the clock.Thanks to you James for the lovely cover as always.

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah what Vishy has done this tournament is truly incredible eg Garry wasn’t playing like that at this age. Cheers for watching as always!

[@thegorn]

Vishy: I got this Magnus: Deez knights

[@epicchess2021]

😆

[@theguardian308]

Hahaha this is great

[@maxcooper4727]

I have never been more excited for an Epic Chess video!

[@epicchess2021]

Haha thanks a lot!

[@raisermusic9329]

Fantastic game with an equally fantasic commentator. What a joy to watch. 😊 Thank you

[@epicchess2021]

thanks very much!

[@cloudforest4087]

That was a Champion knight being brought forth on the queening square.

[@Philiopantheon82]

Peter Svidler is my hero, and when he says it's one of the most remarkable end games ever, then it is by all standards.

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah!

[@physicsonline8853]

I now realize what it is to be a top grandmaster.Breathtaking.

[@yutehube4468]

It's all about how many moves ahead they can think and how many scenarios and variations. It takes a mind so incredible.

[@Craigevansagain]

Its not everyday you see underpromotion in a grandmaster endgame.

[@1shoedog1]

Interesting neither castled.

[@michaeladolf628]

after watching that. i feel like i am already a world champ. underpromotion is my weapon of choice.

[@theguardian308]

Loved your analysis. Your channel is one of my favourites to watch

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot appreciate it!

[@yutehube4468]

It's beyond most of us... and that's those of us that play chess.

[@svfox]

what a sweet game to watch over and over

[@raid8769]

The world famous mysterious rook moves and an under promotion in the same game, awesome! Thanks for the commentary boss, you are still the best 👌

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot always appreciate it!

[@user-yd1cq8lg8c]

Reminds me of Douglas bellizzi (age 22) vs. Joel Benjamin (age 6) (1969) at McAlpin Hotel NYC. Knight promotion.

[@epicchess2021]

oh cool!

[@The-Dom]

I am so humbled by these geniuses. good lord.

[@donaldkinsey5245]

Absolutely sick game!

[@egrif9303]

Some great comments. I think this commentator needs more facial and vocal expression. More intonation and faci expressions. Levi from Gotham is more enjoyable for me.

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah 💯 he is the master at that, it’s what I’m working towards for sure to try and entertain people more and not bore them haha . Thanks for watching anyway

[@ryanb2607]

That chess board looks really cool. I may order one.

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah I thought so too when I first saw and the track record of the company is really impressive as well

[@MartyHirsch]

Gnarly endgame, amazing.

[@mcaluag]

Great analysis. Subscribed

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks a lot appreciate it!

[@lennyvlaminov9480]

Fantastic game thx for a really nice cover

[@epicchess2021]

No worries thanks!

[@geridayao8924]

I think after Magnus Ph6, anand should have Bd3

[@davidc5191]

Vishy's Qd4 instead of Qb6 is certainly understandable since we're all taught to centralize pieces all things being equal.

[@Craigevansagain]

You have to watch out for finesses in ostensibly simplified and drawn endgame setups. There was a lot of finesses in this game. Magnus Carlsen was counting on that.

[@tgunersel]

Wow :) Thank them and you so much :)

[@HikarusVibrator]

OMG @ GO CHESS!!! 😍 😍 😍 wooooow that’s so killer

[@iceyroo]

Are you gonna make a video on the lawsuit wrapping up?

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah I really ought to try and get round to it to finish my series, would be a nice 3 part series then!

[@mrgeorge1888]

O yes, it should've been Qb6 and the chance for Vishy was still there. Nice

[@SukieOOO]

Vishy is my favorite player , but games like this doesn't bother me he lost

[@textilianlimited6219]

At 1:56 What did you show? is it possible in chess?

[@epicchess2021]

yeah it's called 'en passant', maybe google as it's quicker to explain through a read!

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Disappointing Vishy played a great game maybe should’ve taken with that knight earlier to get the passed pawn running I know he had to deal with Magnus’s pawns on a b c files though Magnus came through like the pro he is Thanks for the game James enjoy the day

[@epicchess2021]

Thanks Michael and yeah Vishy was so close to holding but stumbled at last moment

[@mortezakhabazian4690]

and BANG, e4... and BANG e6... and BANG d4... and BANG d5... very BANG...

[@epicchess2021]

Too much bang?

[@mortezakhabazian4690]

@@epicchess2021 Very very BANG...

[@jeff-buri-jeff3716]

I gave a little involuntary giggle at the (technically accurate) description of Magnus as a "former world champion"

[@epicchess2021]

Haha yeah weird to say

[@mksoon]

this video without commentary would haver been great.

[@epicchess2021]

some channels do that. They're boring and unpopular

[@userac-xpg]

Stop putting ads in the middle of videos

[@epicchess2021]

Sure will do one less now

[@DominikNal]

Amazing coverage of this game. I need these stalemates explained to me... Why would queen + Bishop be a stalemate?

[@yaa40]

A stalemate happens in the following scenarios: 1. Insufficient materials (cannot generate a checkmate with the pieces on the board) 2. The person who's turn it currently is cannot make a move. [hopefully I did not miss another scenario]. This falls into the 2nd one of the above, watch the video a 2nd time, it is explained well in it.

[@DominikNal]

@@yaa40 Thank you very much, that was a lot simpler than I realised haha

[@yaa40]

Happy to help on that. Bonus: a stalemate isn't stale, and isn't a mate, which means that a stalemate isn't a stale mate.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

@@yaa40it’s stale if no mate

[@heeroyuy298]

wow

[@SopwithTheCamel]

I pay you tube for add free viewing. That you chose to undermine that and do so in the middle of the game is crass. 2/10.

[@epicchess2021]

Don’t follow, if you pay for ad free then why do you get shown mid roll ads? Secondly, ads are just auto placed by KZbin in the middle of videos as a default setting if you’re video is over 8 mins long so I dunno why you’re popping off at the creator. On some videos I place then selectively at better moments and on others I just leave auto placed. Confused by your beef , 2/10 comment

[@bobeyay]

@@epicchess2021I think he meant your sponsor ad at around 12 minute. I usually skip those parts because its usually not related to the video or it’s not interesting, but your’s was quite cool and still in the realm of chess world which is pretty nice considering that you are a chess channel. I do think your timing for the sponsor ad was a bit annoying because it’s in the middle of the recap, especially on the part which is the most interesting. I think the least annoying ad readout would be after the recap.

[@patrickirwin3662]

Clueless comments from the self entitled.

[@user-yn5bl1ui9x]

10/10 comment in the biggest wanker on youtube category.

[@bluecocacola]

am i seeing things or is there something on your forehead? lol

[@epicchess2021]

Dunno probably haha, I got bit by these little midgys a lot recently especially even on my head!

[@veridicusmaximus6010]

Might be something on your eyeball.

[@mickez3993]

rubbish chess bishop never backs off on knight. even at 16:58 pawn a5 to a6 pressure on the knight..this is why chess at this level is fake it no hard hitters.. people want a nice dumb game no wonder carlson left the mainstream chess..the battlefield is brutal it not pretty chess is no different to winning.. it not some nice cozy game piece for piece all rubbish how chess is presented. it's a war. get battle prepped take no prisoners 1 weakness is game over

[@JP-re3bc]

This adjective tsunami grows tiresome quickly.

[@cragjones1799]

this is not one of the most remarkable endings ever played---its not in the top 10k

[@epicchess2021]

😞

[@jrd33]

I'll take Peter Svidler's opinion over yours.

[@cragjones1799]

@johndavis3331 I would take swindlers opinion over mine as well. Except he never said that. .

[@jrd33]

@@cragjones1799 According to the description of this video, ''"It's One Of The Most Remarkable Endgames Ever Played" said Peter Svidler.'' If this is not what he said, then I stand corrected.

[@cragjones1799]

@johndavis3331 I know svidler for 30 years. Played him twice. Almost certainly a misquote. These things are misquoted all the time I think. Magnus is the greatest endgame player of all time. He's played 100+ legendary endings, this is good but countless others stand over but whatever. It doesn't matter :)

[@LiberalsAreTrash]

Now you know why Magnus Carlson is a world champion and I'm not.

[@JimBalter]

He's no longer World Champion.

[@LiberalsAreTrash]
