[@Brandon-a-writer]

@@epicchess2021 I've been writing for The Broken Sword since August of 2021 when I left Sir Swag as their head writer and researcher for "news without the bullshit". Yeah man, the last script I published was the full story of Theoden! "A son of greater sires". Some lovely stuff in there, a lovely eulogy for Bernard Hill (actor for Theoden in the LOTR franchise) My fav video of mine is prob the difference between gandalf the white / gandalf the grey and "how sauron makes war". Let 'em know I sent you through! Maybe it'll translate to some job security :P I don't run the channel as much as i've been the channel writer for nearly 3 years now. And thank you again for such kindness man. It is definitely appreciated!

What wacky commentary? This channel is like listening to a chess theory e-book narrated by Kramnik and Vishi as an acapella duet. It's both serious, profound and almost impossible to really comprehend.

Magnus Carlson, chessboard's John Wick. He plays with such lethal precision, opponents fear a bishop to the temple more than an "excommunicado".

hahaha very good xD and thanks a lot much appreciated

[@jatojo]

I liked that encore with the three pawns versus the rook. A good game all in all.

[@roberthall9452]

I'll try and be nice here, but that was REALLY annoying that you did some clickbait making us wait until the very end of the video to learn something I already knew. I was hoping there would be something more "stratospheric" during the game. Please don't do that kind of clickbait just to get us to watch. I probably won't watch another of your videos because of it.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

A good fun commentary. Thanks James.

[@realplonk]

he's the best imo

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

@@realplonk if you mean Magnus I can’t disagree. If you mean James, he is without doubt the funniest. Other whom I won’t mention on James’s site are better at other things, but the entertainment and education from James puts him firmly in my favourites.

Paul Morphy would say “precedented” but he’d also need a minute to sharpen up before facing the GMs of today.

I've always thought of Magnus as residing in the ozone layer; the upper part of the stratosphere. But now that it's confirmed that he's made it to the stratosphere, I guess his next stop is the mesosphere?

I don't really understand why Keymer keeps playing like this against Carlsen. Quickly trading on c6, then swap bishops and queens until you're worse as white.

[@dawn21stcentury]

.. Just my stoned Dutch brain wondering:. He's been the top-rated since 2010, lost it briefly, but since 2011 .. That's it. You think he can hold the highest rating till early 2031 (so for 20 years in total) .. ?? Or maybe even longer, say 2036?
