What is Niemann a champion of?

Cheating champion

[@joshpinchuk7061]

[@epicchess2021]

Me and you both but I’ve gotten quite good at pretending 😁

[@SpecialAgentBillMaxwell]

You do get the impression that Magnus was doubly focused. No horsing around with weird opening antics. All business.

[@pRODNEYgy]

Yeah, his positional play on midgame is just diabolical.

[@Philiopantheon82]

When Magnus pushing the seriousness button, no one can beat him. Perfect game by Magnus indeed

[@pilgrimoftheworld]

You got to give Hans credit for coming 3rd, his chess is really improving. I'd love to see him prove all the haters wrong and rise to the top.

[@Blinknone]

Cagnus's hair was looking almost Trumpian there. Truly glorious.

[@hoi-polloi1863]

Wonderful match! I'll say this much for Niemann... he's the one guy who can pressure Carlsen into playing a conservative game.

[@Philiopantheon82]

Conservative game?, this was a positional masterpiece mate, go check out Hikaru's commentary on this particular game

[@hoi-polloi1863]

@@Philiopantheon82 I'm thinking about the opening. He didn't try any of his "wacky" openings, went very principled.

[@exponentmantissa5598]

I heard from the people that there was a loud bang after Neimann got checkmated and when everyone looked Neimann had a burnt head the size of a pea and there was black smoke above it.

[@epicchess2021]

😂😂

[@AndersHaalandverby]

Carlsen will only be overtaken by the kinds of geniuses like that 10 year old chessi fella . He has frankly dominated his entire generation. It might be 200 years before we see anything like him again (who is not a computer)

[@user-bd3zy6wo7l]

That kid is overrated. He reached his ceiling

[@aggressivelychad]

Gotta change the shirt too next time for the 99,000 seconds gag... Also, a gentleman would have resigned in Hans' position but perhaps the silence of the beads spoke for themselves.

[@epicchess2021]

True haha and yeah potentially I don’t read so much into that personally

[@sambaldwin]

Killing it with the commentary and memes lately

[@epicchess2021]

Niemann singing Springsteen: I'm going down down down

I guess he heard Magnus singing it when he was beaten twice by an IM.

[@BluSpykz]

I loved Hikaru's commentary of this game; "Showing he is the greatest player in the world unlike a certain wannabe..."

[@intercalz]

An unnecessary put down by Hikaru.

[@BenMJay]

Hikaru acts like a child. And if you think what Hikaru said is cool, you’re just as immature as he is.

[@NoteSmoking]

The chess speaks for itself.

[@tonybeatbutcher]

Hans is my man and Magnus also. But I think Hans had a lot sh#t on his head when he was accused for cheating, what he probably no did. He's just an to inconsistent player as GM, somethimes genius somethimes a 1800 level.

[@knotsinallthings]

your narration is so clutch

[@Drebin416]

Crazy that Hans left his arm out for the rest of the game after being left hanging on the king safety fist bump.

[@AndersHaalandverby]

I'm constantly asking myself questions like 1."with a billion Chess players, why isnt Magnus long since beaten" and 2."with a billion Chess players, all practicing online in a way he could not(while upcoming, ie 10-15 y.o) ,why isnt Magnus long since beaten" and 3."with a billion Chess players, All access to chess engines 3800+, why isnt Magnus long since beaten" I dont know. He must be really good.

Great game analysis! I love your whimsical comments. You're the most entertaining analyst on KZbin. 🙂

[@thembadube9589]

I fully agree. There's an American chess KZbinr (let's not mention names) who is also good, but he tends to "spell out" the humour, which then pulls it down to the nursery level. Epic is unmatched when it comes to subtle, intellect-engaging humour.

[@epicchess2021]

[@skinnybowser]

You often see the top players do a king safety fist bump...explode it.. but these guys don't! LMAO!

[@TruthSurge]

he had Magnus all clogged up but what happened? That whole attack a queen side pawn business seemed weird. Why Hans didn't focus ALL his might on black king side with fast pressure? greek sac or something???

[@alexkt3400]

His induction charging chair malfunctioned mid-game. A real tragedy.

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah Magnus was in trouble if he did that for sure

[@JoeBob79569]

Sometimes I pause the video to find the right moves, and I often find them... but then I realise after a few seconds that although it was the right move, I found it for the completely wrong reasons. Or maybe my subconscious is really good at chess but my conscious self is crap.

[@epicchess2021]

Really interesting point , it’s the same with my commentary, at times I get the deeper idea other times I can generally have a thought but the real reason is more subtle and deep and over my head at the level I play

[@ubongabasiefiok]

Moving the bishop to g-3 would have also been a checkmate in one

[@zainquadri1206]

I was searching "swingers" and "swapping" and damn youtube algorithm came up with this suggestion... I clicked and stayed out of sheer morbid curiosity and bam @11:23 "Ofcourse Magnus is itching to swap the ladies..." Thanks for the tip, next time I want to check out some swapping action I know where to go, I will check out this Magnus guy's channel... I'm heading there right now... P.S. Just kidding, long time subscriber... Love your commentary... ❤

Are burnt armpits a common problem in chess? Should I prepare somehow... sunscreen lotion or armpit protectors, mayhaps? Maybe Walrus Magots simply has a better armpit care program than most other players?

[@epicchess2021]

I wouldn’t go so far as common but I heard it’s on the rise and defo one to watch for yeah 😁

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

That was fun James i needed 99001 seconds to find tht mate, though i found Bg3 mate instantly. Thanks sir.

[@epicchess2021]

😂

[@authorotar]

Everyone stopped doing king safety fist bumps after Kramnik pointed out they are a sign of cheating.

[@bakedbeings]

Hair we go.

[@thaiexodus2916]

Generally speaking, Carlsen simply sees more potential from his pieces. As in locking away that knight, he doesn't need it at that time allowing him to employ his other pieces to various slight advantages. The computer said it was questionable but the computer doesn't have to contend with human focusing issues.

[@iainbozfelt]

Like to have seen from the winners POV....

[@freewheelburning8834]

7:30 😂

[@acct5910]

Interesting game. Hans created some opportunities but couldn’t capitalize. His style of play is very hit or miss.

[@johngattinger]

was D3 not a viable winning move @ 7:30? If Q moves then Nxc2. If Queen doesn't move, then dxe2, Rxd7, Nxd7, Nxe2, Nxe5. Queen or Rook can't take dx3 either.

[@epicchess2021]

Why not at around 9:24 go knight F3, you create a fork, you lose a rook but take a free queen and free knight with pressure on A1 rook? Am I missing something (most likely yes)
