How much can Magnus Carlsen calculate in 60 seconds | Indjic vs Carlsen | Commentary by Sagar Shah

It's said that blitz chess is all about intuition and feel. After all how much can one calculate in just 3 minutes! The 2-second increment often helps you to stay afloat and not lose on time. But the World Champion is not like us, is he?
When Magnus Carlsen puts in 1/3 of his time during a blitz game, which is a solid 60 seconds, what is it that he has thought in that time? How many variations could he calculate? In round 3 of the World Blitz 2021, the World Champion took on the Serbian GM Alesandar Indjic. Carlsen had 1 minute 35 seconds on the clock and thought for a solid 1 minute to come down to 35 seconds only! In this video, you get to see a glimpse of the genius of Magnus. The commentary of IM Sagar Shah helps you to get some ideas about what Carlsen was thinking.

Watching Magnus tutoring his opponent after the win was heartwarming. What a class act.

[@jaymatthews9324]

I can't imagine a better ambassador for chess to the general masses than Magnus. He's a living legend

[@PP1969GR]

what exactly is he saying?

[@wilspu5590]

Did he charge him?

[@pablodelmontejr2555]

@@wilspu5590 Yea he payed for it with the defeat

[@Rocksite1]

I would call it exceptionally good sportsmanship. The NWO calls any sort of being helpful to your opponent, mercy, or even conscience, weakness.

[@JuanDelaCruz-ekmg]

The commentary here is superbly done. It adds an element of suspense and anticipation to the viewers. I also like how it explains the variations right before a move has taken place to make the audience know about what the players are possibly thinking at the moment. I appreciate this game with all these awesome players on the planet. Magnus is not just a world champion. He is world class. Liked how Indjic so calm and composed right after the game as Magnus explains some variations. Humility and maturity at its finest display.

[@inemanja]

I agree. And comments about the after match conversation (and on screen display of the position) was excellent, too!

If you want to be a commentator, then maybe spend an hour or 2 fixing that Indian doopy-doopy accent

[@alanmacdougall1830]

Magnus total life revolves around moving little statues around in careful order. I wonder how much of his life has slipped away while engaged in an activity that does not add or subtract from the advancement of human understanding or society?

[@Andytlp]

@@alanmacdougall1830 Yeah if he could solve humanity's issues like he does chess we would have solved pollution, corruption, greed and curb all illegal activities in general. Unfortunately people all have their own selfish agendas and arent as easy to move like chess pieces, itll lead to everyone's extinction relatively soon. Humanity had a good run and we're owed nothing.

[@Matt-fq6ly]

The enthusiastic commentary makes this vid so much better lol, he makes the game more exciting it sounds like im watching an actual sports game. He needs to commentate more!!!

[@thernly]

That's because you're watching an actual sports game.

[@kramlyn2412]

Its sagar shah😅

[@danrolfe7862]

The hype is real!

[@altafkalam2716]

It's definitely one of the most physically demanding games as far as sports go.

[@thernly]

Some folks have an oversimplified understanding of “sports.” It’s about engaging in competitive games. It’s not synonymous with athletics.

[@cosmicsoullove]

this is one of the best chess commentators i have heard anywhere, keep up the good work sir, Mr Sagar

[@wingthomaux]

Cool name

[@cosmicsoullove]

Sagar's commentary is a joy to watch. I'm going to show it to my friends and hope they enjoy it too.

[@Iceman_HSV]

At the bar or the library of course

[@rkrmtest]

Yes. But he doesnt do it for all the videos..is it because he wants to do it for some good games only? I love it if he does for all 😅

[@JerinJames]

This is the single best commentator I've ever heard! Perfect commentary, I love it

[@djdrocco]

Yo, I'm not even a big chess enthusiast, but I've gotta give some major props to the commentator here. He's able to provide real-time, relevant analysis of the changing board-state, while also highlighting novel elements of the gameplay and maintaining an absolutely infectious enthusiasm. It's like the chess version of MMA commentary, but even more helpful to non-expert spectators.

[@dondorcha5896]

The position looked so dead for the duration of Magnus' think and literally out of nothing he created complications that were completely tactically sound despite looking horrific then totally bruteforced and dominated a Rook endgame. Our World Champion truly is on a different level. Every player loses games but when you see Magnus playing well it's just a foregone conclusion.

[@delighton_]

Not sure which is better - Magnus’ endgame conversion or Sagar’s commentary….

[@sharadsharma2019]

Really ?

[@janakpalit6197]

Obviously Magnus' endgame

[@glee-]

Thanks for bringing back the insightful commentary Sagar!

[@palbi]

Absolutely phenomenal commentary. Makes the whole experience of watching pros so much more fulfilling.

[@ottowerkmeister9847]

Hey, thanks for the commentary. I am a chess beginner and I can really learn from it. Please keep going with these kinds of videos. Greetings from Germany.

Great commentary for a great game. Thanks a lot for walking us through!

[@onerelic1337]

its really good, except for the way he pronounces indjic lol

[@VacaAlpha]

I absolutely loved watching this with commentary, like honestly, it was so much fun, hope to see more like this

[@shifty25_]

Loved the commentating, I feel he explains the positions a lot better than the other commentators. Also, he’s got like an exciting way of presenting everything

[@kevinworrell709]

I love Sagar Shah's commentary. He's sharp with his calculations and so interesting to listen to on these videos. ☕🤔

I want to play Magnus just so I can learn after the game when he tells me what I should have done and evaluates my blunders. 😂😂

First blunder, playing Magnus Carlsen if you aren't ranked amongst the top 1000 chess players of the world.

Great commentary. He has ice in his veins, Fischer, Karpov, Morphy and Capa are those players that always played like their nerves were dead during the games. Incredible.

[@elielsilvaurra7689]

Lol what a great commentator! Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole endgame, and it's also great that he's explaining the variants and the "richness" of the position for those like me who are not able to catch all that stuff

[@Triumph633]

Really cool commentary. I love the indian pepole and their love for chess! This game is also a good showcase of Magnus not being overrated. Many times in sports if there is one great player, the hype often gets to much (for example Cr7). But Magnus actually is very consistent and just wins because he plays better. Great Match.

[@TheStrandedSquash]

It's easier to have a clear-cut best player in a solo sport like chess/tennis rather than in team sports

This guy has to be the best chess comentator in the world!

[@Spectyrr]

The commentary was much better than the coughentary.... I'll see myself out.

[@prinzessinderverurteilung]

He arranged his pieces to face a certain ways, so that he know which one starts from left and right. Take knights for example, they are facing the opposite way. And later while moving his pieces, he does it carefully not to change the facing direction. This give him more awareness of each pieces position throughout the game, and help him in making predictions and recalling past experiences.

[@peristiloperis7789]

maybe you are right. It makes sense.

Sagar's enthusiasm could make the driest games palatable.
