Come on, dude, you exactly copied agadmator's title for this one. Not cool !

[@PowerPlayChess]

@@TheToby121 I took the title from Sam Shankland's tweet shortly after the game. I don't watch Agad's videos.

[@grigoryaleksin271]

Really interesting games! In his interview with the Russian commentary team, Karjakin says that Denis Khismatullin, presumably his second, told him about the pawn sacrifice 10.e5 before the game. He says that there are some really crazy complications after 13...Qxa2, while the endgame that Shankland got from 13...Qxd2 is just better for white.

[@lizhiguo8565]

Hi Daniel, I really enjoy your format. Most commentators focus on one game. You brief a whole match. It reads like a good short story. Very well done!

[@PowerPlayChess]

Thank you!

[@maxanonym9613]

yes it's always good to learn about the whole dynamic of such an encounter - it contributes a lot to the understanding of what happened

[@mozartiano123]

I feel so sad about Sam. He played great and I was rooting for him to go through, even thou I am karjakin's fan. But they played so beautiful chess and Sergey deserved to win as he found resources to win on demand and Sam could not. Maybe next time Sam.

[@nickjackson6962]

Powerplay to 100k!!!

[@haryk6158]

Sam did show a big heart throughout the tournament. He will get his chances in the future

[@michaelf8221]

Damn Sam had such a great tournament. So sad to see it all end when he was mere moves away from clinching this match

[@anthonyragan2696]

That was an entertaining match between Karjakin and Shankland. Thanks for presenting these.

[@kristiannenadic9938]

@PowerPlayChess Just wanna say I am so happy to see you again oc ChampionChessTour commentary

[@PowerPlayChess]

Thanks!

[@Noname-hc4hc]

4:05 In his interview Karjakin confirmed that the whole e5 idea was proposed by GM Khismatullin during break between the games.

[@jonathanbush6197]

Heh Fischer was right, "The Russians have fixed world chess." I am joking BTW.

[@maxanonym9613]

thanks for this great coverage again! - I'm also realy looking forward to your reporting in november!

[@DG-ss2zd]

Great coverage thanks

[@calixtopablo8432]

I really do enjoy the analysis of many games in one video thanks a lot

[@JohnSmith-hu3kb]

Honestly there is no better chess commentator in the world than the one and only King. Well done Daniel.

[@PowerPlayChess]

Thank you!

[@MrBennyC178]

would be great to see karjakin in the final against magnus

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

Karjakin loves the world cup! His semi against Fedoseev will be very interesting. Fedoseev's had a great tournament but a supposed "easier" ride to the semis. Really cannot call it! Great analysis as always Danny!

[@cesar_rojasbravo]

Karjakin is back!!!!!

[@lagrandeconfusion]

Harmony in the Armory.

[@emilioarroyomohamed]

Great video as allways. Will we see you hosting the world championship match again? That role fits you like a glove.

[@jonathanbush6197]

Great video. Actually Sam lost the second 10 min game, not that it matters. He had a draw in hand, but he knew it was as useless as a loss, so he kept pushing instead.

[@sanjeevbjain]

very interesting presentation

[@gregtechno506]

Those are some strong semifinal pairings, anyone of those 4 players can win. Superb clean game by Karjakin at the end there.

[@mrnono5034]

Thanks for the analysis

[@huddunlap3999]

White had a huge plus score in this match.

[@aleksandrailic5818]

Karjakin won the second 10-minute game as well. He did not draw.

[@PowerPlayChess]

My mistake - I was watching live so not sure how I reframed that one! Sam could have made a draw at many moments and just pushed right through until it was no longer prudent to do so.

[@aleksandrailic5818]

@@PowerPlayChess Sure, it should have been drawn. But Sam pushed trying to win at any cost until his position entirely collapsed.

[@Gadgetify]

Sam did very well. But Karjakin showed his class. His King's Indian Attack decision worked wonders for him.

[@hubertsang7418]

Great analysis of this match. Karjakin excelled in his play. I believe Duda was the player that beat Magnus to put an end on his longest unbeaten streak of games.

[@mpeterll]

Five decisive games and only one draw. Great stuff. It's ironic how the only draw was the game that ended the match.

[@PowerPlayChess]

Actually Sergei won that one as well!

[@mpeterll]

@@PowerPlayChess I thought you said he drew from a difficult position.

[@PowerPlayChess]

It was my mistake. Karjakin actually won the final game after Sam spurned a draw.

[@WillToWinvlog]

7:02 strange position!

[@GMG-iw2ui]

[@philipstevenson5166]

Alas Sam's dream got terminated.

[@peterhavord5984]

Play it again Sam

[@MrRobbyvent]

8:43 in russian terms!

[@tuomoniemela8868]

I am sure Ra1 e6 was the best and about allright. But doesn't agree.. hmm. These early gambits by white are annoying.

[@waterskym]

That's at least a couple of times you've admired a player's "harmony in the army" recently: could it be because of the recent hit tv adaptation of The Queens Gambit, at some deep level?

[@PowerPlayChess]

I hear what you are saying, but I think I was first turned on to the concept of harmony by the way Vassily Smyslov talked about the game. 'Harmony' was what he lived by, on the board and in life.

[@andreasgrunder7003]

Harmony in the army. I like this term like queen in Siberia

[@waterskym]

@@andreasgrunder7003 ya, and a Siberian Queen who somehow can return to the scene of the action, or perhaps a born - again promoted pawn could be the Queen of Narnia.

[@chuckg4812]

Sad that you "borrowed" agadmators title for the video

[@PowerPlayChess]

I don’t look at what Agad is doing. I took the title from Sam Shankland’s tweet directly after the game. Agad must have done the same.
