Haven't been commenting as of late but always watching m'dear James, thanks so much for these vids, laughing hard at the edits, specially in very recent vids, this one was a _notch_ more sober (should this become ever believable, with the again, ever slightly shaking camera - haha!), still amazing comment, 11+ minutes that went by swift, thus always awesome, and there's your reason why you're closing in to 100k subs. Super well deserved. The first vid of yours I saw was most likely the best YT recommendation of the year. Oh and nearly forgot, outstanding game form Mister Charleston, wouldn't surprise me if in 2025 he goes for the World's title once more. Thanks again and Merry Christmas m'friend!

Something Kasparovian about this game. Reminds me a bit of his demolition of Karpov in Linares 1993. He had black and just bullied Karpov's pieces back onto the first rank.

On an unrelated note I really like Magnuses new Christmas song this year. How does he find the time?

[@paulbloemen7256]

Games like this one makes you wonder why (stronger) players would need hours to think about the moves of one game. The upper limit is that, because of AI, a game should be finished in one session, but a 7-hour session for a long game seems pointless after seeing this game.

[@phantompower]

lmfao that intro

[@oliverlangrall2014]

Santa Magnus reminds me of Vincent D'onofrio. When he gets old and loses his luscious locks, will an actor be born? Or in chess using your terms- when Magnus pushes P to the back rank will an actor be born?

the back rank queen sac rook mate. It was on Friday or Saturday

[@harry69007]

It wasn't really mate in two, there was an idea of mate in 2. But it wasn't guaranteed.

[@epicchess2021]

Yeah probably

[@noname-FJB]

Christopher Hikaru Nakamura Already covered the game in great depth and with clarity. While you may be able to spice it up and put your spin on it, the analysis was perfect. Still, I’d love to hear your presentation. Gotham is “over milking” Magnus and could deplete him eventually, and possibly mess with his knight moves. I think Bob Serger wrote a song about this, but I could be mistaken..
