Best part was Peter Leko rubbing his hands out of excitement @38:53 when Alireza played 3. Nh3

[@Jisooee]

Abdusattorov is always on top nowadays on tournaments, he almost won the TataSteel, I hope he'll win this one🤞 Rooting for my GOAT Nordibek!!

[@JavlonbekAkbarov-rv6id]

Thank you for great words we appreciate you from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿❤

[@revanth2628]

Yeah.. Nordi will be an elite player for the coming decades (can't forget that he is the youngest world champion in the open section, Rapid world champion 2021)

[@greatpretender83]

There can only be one GOAT

3:16:49 Alireza with 143 BPM heart-rate 😱 Someone call an ambulance

[@MrQmason]

Chess 960 is so awesome ! Hope there are more events like this

[@jasonsdodd]

I've been predicting it will be the dominant form of chess within 10 years. There's about 7 years left to prove me right.

[@MrQmason]

@@jasonsdodd You may be right, Jason. And it would be another win for Bobby Fischer :)

[@FongYukYu]

The post game analysis btwn Vincent and Levon is such a treat!

[@vcliburn]

Why is it necessary for the players of each color to "discuss" the opening position before the games? Why can't they just start their own games independently, without "colluding" with the other players? Wouldn't that make each player's game that much more unique and special?

[@MrAlmaguin]

WEISSENHAUS...wow, they know what they are doing...

[@BoothTheGrey]

Well - its a rich guy who bought a huge location to create a luxury vacation place for other rich people. Of course they can pay all the people necessary for a great event. This is not just "knowlegde" - its money. Of course you could do really bad although throwing a lot money at people. But without money you could probably not create something like this. And probably this is necessary for chess and many other "sports" events for entertainment purpose. People with too much money have to throw some of their money in there.

[@PaulMorphy-n1f]

Alireza🔥🔥👊👊✌👏👏

[@manifestyourlife7]

How tall is that dude lol.

[@fahman3422]

which dude?

[@CameronDavies1]

Who?

[@fairtrue4557]

the inimitable bobby fisher you saw what he created!!!

[@Isloms]

Abdusattorov Nodirbek supper win

[@skyltdockan]

Has Ding always been blinking that rapidly or is it morse code?

[@vcliburn]

IMHO, the traditional chess opening names, e.g., English, Spanish, French, Sicilian, Petroff, etc., simply DO NOT apply to Fischer Random. They only use those opening names because we're familiar with them, not because the same opening theory applies in Fischer Random.

[@gabrielemorani9250]

Glad that they left Levon alone in the analysis and he was the only one to get something with black. Maybe they'll join next time 😂

[@BikiranBarman-rm2hf]

Hello Abdul.. Tabah tabahi 😂

[@Peptoid]

heart beat measure? why?

[@newkingjames1757]

9LX is the future

[@jasonsdodd]

levon staying on top.

[@sidarjicreation5814]

However carlsen always goat

[@BikiranBarman-rm2hf]

Heu 🎉

[@hqcart1]

What the hell is wrong with Ding?? is the world champion supposed to not win a single game???? honestly he should drop off his title to a real word champion. this game format was just a proof that the losers so called GMs are nothing but a memorizers for games database, once you get them out of theory, they blunder at move 2...

[@tobiasyoder]

well you are certainly not a 'word champion' given your spelling ability

[@jasonsdodd]

That's the reason Fischer invented it.

[@log_log_logg]

Dude... ding is obviously still sick and recovering, did you not see him coughing and gagging? also, he tied alireza, who beat magnus. Are you going to say that magnus carlsen is just a theory memorizer? It is all relative to every player in the tournament, we can't draw conclusions unless you put a 2300 in there or something.

[@tobiasyoder]

@@radscorpion8 Seriously. You don't get in the top ten highest ever fide ratings of all time by being bad at chess and losing all your games. I guess they succeeded in bringing in new people to chess, but now the problem is that this small sample of unusual games is all they are using to draw their conclusions lol

[@scottwilson940]

@@radscorpion8Unbelievable the amount of disrespect people throw around in some of these comments. These “loser GMs” what a clown. Ding could sack his queen and beat him every game.

[@jasonsdodd]

Alireza cheated using a device hidden in those fancy buttons.
