Maturity over impatience. Fascinating game. Ding maneuvered his way out of danger brilliantly. The power of the pawn was a great lesson in this game. You covered it with precision.

[@AndreaArzensek]

Your calm voice and quality chess analysis are what make me super appreciative of your work and proud of being your subscriber. Thank you Jerry, Andrea from Croatia 😊

[@gregoriopalofuego9808]

Excellent comment, Andrea. Yes, I agree with you. Jerry is calm, methodical, precise and is a master teacher. It has been a real pleasure over the years to listen to his magnificent commentary on the best chess games ever played in the history of the world. Cheers from Mexico City!

[@OmneAurumNon]

Really nice defense from Ding. He somehow managed to get back in form for the match, and it's great to watch him playing like himself again. I'm excited to see the final game!

[@wzdew]

1080p seems to have some distracting visual artifacts from video compression that aren't present in the other resolution options. That aside, wonderful analysis as always. Very much appreciate your coverage of the games. :)

[@pratulanand4476]

Was wondering if it was just me... i guess it has to do something with yt's video compression

[@DelFlo]

Who cares about watching a chess board in 1080p

[@Ebobster]

Excellent commentary especially liked the queenside pawn play ideas & tactical pointers that were there in every phase of this game. I used to play the French defense & this game reminds me of why I gave it up! Just defending all the way thru. Very tough but Ding did it. Gukesh must be kicking himself for missing his win. On other hand Ding is now just one classical game away from getting to the fast play tie breaks! Should be exciting! Cheers!

[@kwelduivel]

A very instructive game, particularly in the analysis. Thank you, Jerry.

[@moesheri9385]

Thx Jerry 😊

[@rlevans0602]

Quite simply the best commentaries. Well done Jerry

[@berhcio]

thank you so much for a deep one. also had this flickering issue with 1080p. hope they somehow address this

[@looinrims]

40 minutes?! This is definitely a big one!

[@AmeyPalav-n7k]

We all thank you Jerry for assembling all of the featured videos on your channel and allowing us to be a part of your insightful analysis. It's truly an honour to be here.

[@gordonmelrose2514]

why did blacks rook not take the bishop after it landed on f4..... ? am i missing something

[@brettly3924]

There's a trap that I thought Jerry would share, but may have forgotten.

[@reisanibal1]

Qe5 and White gets a rook back.

Another fun dinner with some chess analysis featuring Jerry

[@davehowes6650]

Always appreciated! Great game!!

[@AroundWayOther]

40 min let’s gooooo🎉

[@BigBeastHunter]

Really enjoy all your videos Jerry. I hope you never quit.

[@ayal66]

If G. had found the only moves when he was pressing as well as D. has found the only defensive moves when he was under pressure and if he had have thoughtn it over for one minute or two , he would have won. I don`t see G. as the next world champion. Youth contra experience. THX Jerry - brilliant!

[@youtubepremium3505]

Great job. Well thought out. Very clear analysis. Keep up the good work.

[@animal_blundetto]

Amazing analysis! I hope to see more longer videos in the future.

[@Nash9r]

26:57 Watched the live stream and was sure Ding is going to lose. Incredible that he found this move (31)

[@kedrprao]

That move was easy. I am 1300 rated guy and I found that move within 30 seconds. Yall praise anything 😂

[@samyakjain7841]

Thanks Jerry for these nice videos!

[@alexandershorse9021]

Great game, compelling how time pressure affected both players at critical moments. Gukesh missed wins, Ding found only moves.

[@Gorevet]

Ding chilling

[@gbu32]

Fantastic game analysis. Thank You Jerry. Pawn Power. I love the power of the pawn. "He who attacks must vanquish. He who defends must merely survive". ---Master Kan

[@micke7]

great video! but no mention of that black queen could go c1+ earlier

[@michelnormandin8068]

I watched the live stream. A first for me and total different experience. The rapid confident combo Bf4/Bc7/Bd6 reminded me of many OTB tournament games I played decades ago. The point being to ''bully/stress/surprise/destabilze'' your oponent. 31... Rf8 saves the day with 10 seconds on the clock. Tabarnak!!! The accidental world champion gets more respect.

[@kingaj12utube]

Gukesh's blitz moves to make Ding's back rank bishop vulnerable must have been a sight to behold!

[@Holital]

So excited for tomorrow!!

[@Bruhong99]

Hey Jerry, it’s everyone.

[@ХадижатИбрагимова-е8ь]

Yeah.. but I heard "cherry" kind of wishing everyone nice sweet time to have..

[@danielarthurs1698]

Hi everyone I'm Dad

[@Flightofphenomena]

I didn’t know it was best to just chill in a K/P endgame when you’re the side with two pawns. Good to know! Not that I ever get to that because I’m so addicted to the Danish Gambit. 😄

[@DemoboyOot]

19:10 why not take the bishop?

[@nikospitr]

very intense game !

[@CloneHat]

19:17 Why isn't there just RxB? Am I crazy?

[@arjunanna7796]

lol i was so confused too but i think queen e5 double attack

[@00Miedo]

I was scratching my head with that move too. Thanks for explaining that Qe5 double attack, I couldn't find that move.

[@micke7]

@@00Miedo oh he actually didn't put it on the board... :/ I had seen it elsewhere luckily...

[@00Miedo]

@@micke7 I was expecting Jerry to explain why RxB wasnt good at all, but maybe he thought it was too easy... I think some of us are just too rusty in chess.

[@Micecreek]

Flickering d-e file for someone else?

[@titiksilang]

Pesky Knight, you really hit the spot

[@bertdaniel1449]

I missed something. The way the game was described it appears that Ding could have simply captured the bishop on f4 before they went into “bullet mode”.

[@ChessNetwork]

RxB is a blunder. Spot the one move tactic 👍

[@bertdaniel1449]

Hi Jerry, this is Bert. I enjoyed your commentary on the recent world championship immensely but with regard to my comment (responded to by “RxB is a blunder” I guess I missed something else. Could you elucidate on the one move blunder? I probably set the position up incorrectly. Experts like Ding and Gukesh do not miss one move minor piece captures for free. If there was a minor piece capture available and it was a blunder I still think it deserved a mention in the comments.

[@TM-zx6tc]

can't the black rook take the Bishop at minute 19:12 ?

[@damnstupidoldidiot8776]

Qe5 fork

[@ChessNetwork]

Good eye. It’s a blunder though. Can you spot the follow-up tactic?

[@alphaaurahealing]

That was my first thought, but then I noticed whites counter

[@damnstupidoldidiot8776]

Did my comment not go through?

[@kh3777]

Full of twists and turns from both sides at the end, but Ding must be happy with a draw after spending so much time and Gukesh a little disappointed?

[@teadrinker7098]

Once again Ding burned a lot of time in the early part of the game.

[@scheimong]

That's how he rolls. You can't think yourself out of a bad position, so you'd better think before that happens.

[@kedrprao]

If Magnus played, he would be leading 6-1 vs Ding rn😂 That many opportunities are blown by Gukesh!!

[@AG_247]

And 6-1 Vs Gukesh at least.

[@loplop7029]

Hi Jerry.

[@donutzebra914]

Jerry, if I recall correctly, you're from the US? If you're watching each game live, when are you sleeping??

[@ChessNetwork]

Yes from the US. Have had pretty broken days of sleep during this. Some rest from 10PM to 4AM EST.

[@garyconnors2104]

Thanks for the instructive comments about how to hold a R+2P vs R+3P endgame. Also I watched commentators during the opening and wondered why they never covered an early c4 by Black as a viable alternative. You did cover it and explained its virtues. So maybe my idea of playing c4 and securing b3 wasn't so bad after all.

[@mailvishooj]

First one here!!

[@CheezWhiz360]

I wish I could just watch this without the analysis

[@ChessNetwork]

You could. The pgn is in the description. A quick import of it into lichess for instance, and you’re ready to go.

[@yashkumars6840]

Black 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@hdysicjegk]

Holy cow these guys will never let an exciting position get in the way of a good draw lol

[@PeterWhite-q1k]

I know this isn't by intention for either one of them but my gosh it does seem like it!

[@VenceslavRutar]

With Venceslav Rutar scoring, the endgame would be exciting, and Gukesh would play for Favored Draw. The score would be 3:1.

[@lmadlsc]

39.05 RxB

[@KirubanithiKiruba-vo6ih]

Its seems to be like robot voice

[@ColinWrubleski-eq5sh]

I wish this commentator dude would shut up about his monomania in regards to supposed "tension". Man, that obsessive use of the phrase sucks sloughwater...

[@gregoriopalofuego9808]

Colin~ What do you recommend Jerry say instead? "And the pressure is increasing! What a battle!"

[@KirubanithiKiruba-vo6ih]

So Gukesh lost

[@michaelf8221]

Hardly

[@WisdomVendor1]

Can't watch anymore. These 10 to 20 move tangents that you go off on after every other move in the game just causes my eyes to glaze over. At that point we lose all track of what's actually going on in the game. Thanks though.

[@jimbalbier8526]

Who is "we"? I guess "we" all don't have the brain of a squirrel and can follow the game easily.

[@brettly3924]

The tangents are important to explain the lines of why certain moves are better than others

[@KF1]

keep at it. Your ability to focus and remember positions will improve in time.

[@gregoriopalofuego9808]

WV~ There are plenty of chess websites that have the game without any commentary, and you simply press the arrow and the pieces will move. As you continue to press the arrow, you will see the entire game. Quick, easy and NO FUN. The reason why this chess KZbin channel is the best, is because Jerry's style is unique. You never see Jerry. He has no ego and doesn't boast and brag and scream, "Hey! I'm Jerry! I'm so cool." Instead, he is smooth, precise, and makes all the games fascinating, intriguing- and he does go off on tangents- to show and teach people the various possible ways the game could have gone. Also, my favorite thing Jerry does is gives us a moment to pause the video and think what the next important move will be. What that does, it allows the viewers to test their chess skills- and to learn why these great chess players made those moves. Each viewer probably has his favorite chess player, and for me, it is Bobby Fischer. Some of Bobby's games were so incredible, complex, beautiful, and mathematically elegant, there were positions even the commentators at the time were completely dazzled by his creative genius. So, WV, we are all different. We have our favorites, our heroes, our preferences. If you feel Jerry's commentary isn't the style to your liking, it's okay. Just simply go to another chess website that suits you. All the best, Greg- Mexico City
