Hey Jerry, are you planning to do live coverage of some the games in this world championship match?

[@etiennechaplais1764]

Is the "presented by google" really necessary?

[@CrushOfSiel]

Ding the last few years, 'Call an ambulance!' Ding today, 'But not for me!' Can't wait to see the rest, maybe it will be much more of a match than I thought.

MY 5th world championship watching chessnetwork. Thanks for the years of good commentary

Same, I still remember Karjakin pulling off the classical win back in the day

@@nyern that was when I started watching Jerry. the time has really flown!

I'm so happy you're covering this WCC, Jerry! For some reason I thought you wouldn't be. You're simply the best at what you do :) "Take care, bye".

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you Carlos. 👍

[@aleattorium]

Great commentary as always. Please Jerry, if possible, add move times

[@awoat]

Seconding this!

[@theazrael4423]

His entire interface needs to be updated. These older channels would get more views that way

[@unknown-unknown69]

As well as FIDE ratings

[@aleattorium]

@@unknown-unknown69 well, they won't change during the tournament

[@AKuTepion]

@@theazrael4423 Please no, there's plenty of "modern" channels, I like one that's decent for change...

[@fogoverparis]

After all the chatter about Ding's readiness for the championship, this has to feel incredible for him. Winning with black in game 1 is not something many people will have predicted! Great analysis as always Jerry, I can't wait for the rest of the matches.

[@FurkanKahraman.]

Waiting for your videos about this topic. Thanks for your effort.

[@GeHeum]

Leave out the sponsorship unless they sponsor you directly. It can give you only negative press

[@J0sho495]

Agreed. Not sure why Jerry included it.

[@gchomuk]

I watched this in real time. I was hoping Ding was ready, and he played brilliantly. Even with Gukesh pacing back and forth in front of him while he was in deep thought. Intentionally creating a distraction? Go Ding. I hope to watch more of this.

[@davvves7977]

Looking forward to your coverage!

[@NJ-uh6hz]

Didn't realize the championship started today. Don't follow it like I used to. But always got to return to ChessNetwork when it roles around. Started playing online around the 2016 Magnus vs Karjakin match and watched all Jerry's videos of those games. Glad to see the chanel still going!

[@ChessNetwork]

👍

[@jdpaterson]

Been watching your WCC coverage in one form or another since Carlsen/Karjaken. Yours was the first I was excited to see this morning. Also thank-you for the Tale of the Tape I couldn't find it anywhere else.

[@brandont9119]

The best time of the year - CN covering the WCC. Looking forward to the whole series Jerry!

[@jerkasmo]

Once again Ding with the outside passed A pawn threatening promotion. The ending to the last World Championship and a fitting start to this World Championship.

[@TheChefCain]

Congrats on the sponsorship! You deserve it!

[@agustindecarli7060]

Great timing, didn’t have to wait long for your review

[@martinaverseng223]

Thank you Jerry for covering this !

[@Russ-Sandiford]

A positional master-class from Ding 🎉

[@gbu32]

Loved all your ideas. Well done!

[@kirkmason7079]

Jerry, keep up the good work. Nice review and analysis of game 1.

[@aloysrobin8204]

Thanks a lot for your great analysis. Possible to put the timer for both players to better understand their situation?

[@elieobeid77]

are you streaming on twitch this championship? you're the best

[@ChessNetwork]

Not this time. I posted a comment on this channel’s community tab.

[@jamessilva8331]

Great! Happy I discovered your channel recently before this Championship

[@ChessNetwork]

👍

[@Gonnster]

Saw the blog post on Lichess at work. First thing I thought was I hope Jerry has his review ready by the time I got home and settled with dinner. Lucky me, it is! Thanks for keeping up with another WCC match.

[@socionbyexample]

What an unbelievable game. You couldn't ask for a more exciting position.

[@LthiagoR]

WCC with ChessNetwork commentary, the tradition is alive!!!!!

[@Karupin-and-chill]

I appreciate the calm review :)

[@maxshort8691]

Let the games begin!🎉

[@gabrielgauthier9608]

What an exciting first match I’m glad Ding won especially after so many people doubting his preparedness, he’s still sharp and definitely came out guns ablaze this 1st game, excited to see the next one, thanks Jerry for the excellent content ❤

[@AgnaktoreX]

I paused watching chess for so long until this very moment 😂

[@Josh-il7bs]

I was just wondering when the recap video would be posted. It’s my lucky day 🎉

[@Pianoblook]

I'm confused: is the Championship sponsored by Google, or your game reviews?

[@michaelf8221]

The championship is

[@svaert]

I was also confused about this, it's a bit odd to plaster a corporate logo on a 20 minute video while not being sponsored.

[@nexma1]

Hi ChessNetwork. I started following you years and years ago when you covered the world championship and it was awesome. Are you planning to do some real time coverage of the games where you jump into the longer analysis and variations. This is good too, I just wish the videos were a lot longer :)

[@xKlausL]

I was hoping you would be sharing insights about yet another world championship match. Thank you Jerry!

[@MrSupernova111]

Thanks Jerry!

[@rubbashka]

Thanks for giving POV of white not giving away the winner Keep that please)

[@YonaNgambi]

Ding is so subtle I had a feeling something like this will happen. Besides congratulations to Ding!❤

[@JG-zs8tr]

Hi Jerry. Will you be streaming coverage on Twitch this year? I've always loved your coverage!

[@ghost79ish]

Pretty exciting first game... Looks like it's gonna be a fun match!

[@puspraj4687]

Jerry, where you following the match live? I didn't see your stream live

[@bbbbbzzzzzzzzzz5431]

Je-rry ! Je-rry ! Je-rry ! 🏅🎖🏅 that's how it's done

[@GaryStanleyMichael]

Hi Jerry..why are you not covering it live...really missed your coverage..

[@p.jhodeflea789]

I listened various analyses of this interesting 1st game , and you have the best comments, precise and sober

[@christopherhume1631]

Great job as usual Jerry! I enjoy the instructive insights, and your low-key "Just the facts" approach.

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you 👍

[@AKuTepion]

I haven't watched any chess for the past few months. When I learned that WCC is being played, I felt immediate excitement and rushed to this channel :) Excellent commentary as always. Are you doing live commentary again? I can imagine the timezone being quite uncomfortable for you this time around.

[@Faulty-Sensei]

Having too many channels to watch the recaps, I still prefer ChessNetwork's channel

[@Blue-cv5ow]

How is Jerry?

[@ChessNetwork]

Good thanks 😎

[@MoonBurn13]

I wasn’t even aware the Championship Match had started. Masterful work on both sides.

[@wzdew]

Great analysis as always. Are you planning to do live coverage on Twitch?

[@TomLiberman]

Great analysis as always, Jerry. I honestly think Gukesh is too big a favorite in this match. Now, I'm still picking him to win but with odds I'd put a buck or two on Ding.

[@markphc99]

How exciting !

[@davidcerullojr9948]

Ive been inspired by your videos Jerry to play through and study every game of this championship match. Im excited to watch your video and gain perspective on some key details I may have missed. Thanks for all the amazing content over the years!

[@superfisto]

Thanks Jerry

[@Cuyut982]

2 blunders from Gukesh, I hope he's not too hard on himself and recovers for the remaining games

[@rsgilbert6152]

Good stuff. Keep it up Chess Network

[@mrjey2417]

Thanks for covering this

[@nikospitr]

Well done for Ding, great play !!

[@umarhasan8580]

I had a feeling about this WC match, it will be very interesting throughout the course of the match, not just only a boring draw results like the former champion did before

[@anonymouspunk9968]

Looking forward to Game 2.

[@moesheri9385]

Thx Jerry 😊

[@ramazanhoxha4265]

14:08 bishop to c5, was the best move for gukesh, hit the queen, prevent castling, gain 1 or 2 tempos... great game coverage jerry as always...❤ also those pawns on a2, a3, created too much distraction and queen devotion around them for gukesh...

[@ccjl9160]

Come at the champ, ya best not miss, Gukesh!

[@nadermeyssami6418]

Jerry please show the contestants clock time... thx

[@ChessNetwork]

Will shoot for a time update every 10 moves on the side. The older setup is no longer on option in presenting the times easily.

[@jozefserf2024]

Unexpected start like 1927 Capablanca v Alekhine, also a french defence.

[@deadfisher0000]

I read online there might be a different format for the time controls than you described. Increment comes later, 60 moves in.

[@ChessNetwork]

Increment kicks in at move 41.

[@katphisH11]

Ding: I understand it now

[@ramonsobrevalsarce]

Thank you for your video as always Jerry! You missed a funny queen sacrifice after 30. Bc5 Qxg4 31. Qxh7, threatening mate! The position could only be saved with another crazy queen sacrifice, Qd4+.

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

Let's go Ding! Great play

[@tejvirchess]

the best review yet people just care about the big names reviews

[@Holital]

Jerry the LEGEND!!!!

[@teflon_dom3295]

lets go ding

thanks Jerry

Hi Jerry..

[@iitstudy-e3b]

hi jerry. can you pls switch to the old chessboard format? it was too og

[@michaelovens5875]

I was hoping to see you go live on twitch this morning Jerry 😢

[@JoseDownUnder]

Thanks Jerry, great analysis as usual 👏. Was wondering why you are not streaming this time ? I guess it is due to the match start time of 4 am EST for you :). But for once , for fans like me in Down Under 8 pm local time is a good prime time slot for this match.

[@ChessNetwork]

Thank you. See the comment I left under the community regarding the livestream.

[@JoseDownUnder]

@ just saw it. Thanks Jerry. Looking forward to your deep analysis for each game 😊

[@michelnormandin8068]

I'd rather look at notation and time than the word google

[@Muneera3H]

Looked for a short recap and here is Jerry

[@totalmonkeyspeed260]

The commentators of the live feed said the French had only been used a couple of times in WC play.

[@davidschneide5422]

Fourth recap… why not?

[@ProfJohnStats]

Very good comments. Thank you!

[@etiennechaplais1764]

Is this video sponsored by google ? This doesn't feel like Jerry's brand

[@ChessNetwork]

No, it’s the event’s title.

[@Burton_aka]

Thank you White blew it

[@e4e5nc3]

waiting for the movie to come out.

[@thechesshub_2]

Same as last time you have not added the time of both the players

[@ChessNetwork]

Can’t do it easily anymore unfortunately.

[@justinknorr8787]

We really need timers

[@noviceinvesting]

Big Ding energy!

[@ChupapiKudasai]

Go Jerry

[@best9715]

I wonder why no clock time was added. This is a world chess championship match. I think every details matter

[@ChessNetwork]

Unfortunately the software I used to use, Blitzin, is no longer an option. I’m not able to easily include the times. I think will updating the players time after every 10 moves on the side to give a better idea of the time remaining.

[@chuckh553]

Wow, a French defense that Jerry shows being a win ends up being a world championship one! 😂

[@bobanobahoba1642]

let's go

[@johndunn7733]

Hey yo Jerry. What goin on?

[@A51838]

hope google is paying you too for advertising their sponsorship lol

[@ChessNetwork]

They aren’t sponsoring me. They’re are the title sponsor of the event.

[@hannahbriarly4192]

​@@ChessNetwork This commenter is being facetious to poke fun at you for having the Google logo on screen the whole time. Great video as always

[@ArnavMontagero]

5:08 i think queen h5

[@ravivarma239]

Hai jefry👍🏻👌🏻🙏🏻

[@thesingingfly]

One thing to note at 18:37 If after the game's conclusion point with Kh8 we saw Be5, trying to set up Qxh6#, well, first off that hangs the bishop, but second, Qg2# would be an immediate mate by Black.
