[@jasperwieringa6038]

Hahahaha this is hilarious. I didn't get it untill I actually saw 9:45 :D

[@iamthesrm]

Here in the commentary, winning means the situation in getting under control by Magnus. Somehow with that move he controls Hikaru's attack and moves on to think how to proceed to the next.

[@rectorli971]

What a powerful commentary man.. really interesting

[@nft3]

This is prearranged commentary, it's not live, it's reading engine lines in a dramatic fashion. Worst commentary possible.

Tbh it was hikaru who was on the driver's seat practically

[@JohnSmith-ut5th]

Sometimes I feel like I can take Magnus. The moves flow with no thought at all. If I had his memory I might be able to, but his combination of memory and just brute talent is what makes him so great

[@noapology88]

This narrator would make a great horse derby announcer; however, I do love his game analysis, and I usually can't abide analysis.

[@JohnSmith-ut5th]

I'm confused. Why didn't they keep playing? Hikaru thinks the best he can do against Magnus is a draw???

[@GalactiCloud]

Hikaru went for killer blow. He sacrificed way too many pieces in the process. But somehow it didn’t work. Now, if Hikaru came back to play on, it would b a disaster for him as he was so many pieces down. At that point, Draw is his best way out.

[@tofankumarsahu8375]

Mag seatting position is cool calculating mode where hekaru is thinking mode so both are same & draw this game.

[@sleepingrainbow8324]

epic commentary

[@jeffhalili]

I like how Ian tries to school Magnus and Hikaru and gets immediately shut down lol

[@ericastier1646]

He commented way too high pitch, showing he considered these two to be the top highest players. Hikaru disapointed me when he was over a minute ahead on the clock but took 1 minute to make the next move when the game was even and there was no pressure yet as if he wanted to sabotage his own time, i think he has an inferiority complex. I am not a seasoned Chess player i follow these battles on comments and facial expression and tell you what it's still fascinating. The game shows that nerves are important especially in Blitz. I was surprised by myself that i was siding with Hikaru, i thought i didn't like his blazé Las Vegas corny style but somehow i have a soft spot for him being an underdog.

[@SUGGYAN1356]

A lot to learn from this game

Best commentary!!!

[@Ali-jw3qn]

[@gautamkatar1483]
