[@daveminion6209]

these two chess players are such CLASSICs in the world and history of chess. Antonio ALWAYS does a great job providing updates and explanation of these significant chess games.

[@Misica11000]

Very bad explanation of some positions in this and in previous game of Vasil and Magnus

[@melsy9355]

Does a whole lotta yapping tho

[@allanfifield8256]

0:30 'The Ruy Lopez is on the board' On move 56, we now have completely new position.

[@Suho1004]

Apparently Ivanchuk offered Magnus a draw after move 30, but Magnus declined because he thought it was an interesting endgame, not to mention the fact that he "not known for being merciful" (Magnus's words).

[@briandwi2504]

Thanks for the endgame analysis, very helpful and thorough.

[@SteWweAwesome99]

It looked like Ivanchuk wanted to finish these games as soon as possible, especially today. He was blitzing moves worsening his position when he had more than an hour on the clock, this match has been the biggest disappointment so far of the World Cup, but at least we get Gukesh vs Magnus which should be fire.

[@rohan1864]

@@Ayzev I don't really know what's up with him but it feels to me like he doesn't like something about the atmosphere of the play in general. He said in an interview before his match with Magnus that he "hopes it will be interesting", maybe it was just a statement for the camera that didn't mean anything, but maybe there was something to it. Maybe he doesn't like the overly pragmatic, competitive approach to play that blocks the path to more interesting games. Or maybe it's something else entirely.

[@Philiopantheon82]

Ivanchuck looked so sad 😢, I hope he is OK and family are safe, he showed a great fight against Magnus and in second game his level of accuracy was 96% but what can you say when you face a chess bot in Magnus

I am still stunned that Ivanchuk played this without running out of time.

When Magnus bought his Rook to a7 maybe Vasyl’s best move would’ve been to capture the knight on d5 with his Rook on a5 even though he would be down in the exchange a Rook for a knight and pawn and maybe a better position ?

I know gary was 2800+ for s while but can someone confirm if magnus has passed him in the longest tenured person who has 2800+ rating...i know gary had a peak of 2850 ish just dont know how long he stayed in 2800s

[@tomatoisnotafruit5670]

Gary was 2800 for a total of 153 months (he crossed over and back then below 2800 two times before finally getting in again and staying in 2800 until his retirement.) Magnus has been 2800+ ever since he first reached it and he has been 2800+ for total and consecutive 164 months and counting. So yes not only Magnus has achieved the highest rating of any player ever but he also has the highest rating for the longest period and consecutively too as well.

[@carltonascarf7694]

Really enjoying the ambiguous titles; as someone who never looks up the results before watching the videos it does keep it very exciting! Edit: For new games specifically; older games (Tal, etc.) it feels a lot less important.

[@fourtime7]

The end is near.

[@onenewworldmonkey]

At 5:10 you said Vasyl was very unhappy when Magnus moved his rook to the A file. Why didn't Vasyl use his A5 rook to take the knight on d5?

[@roberthansen5727]

Because there's almost no compensation for the exchange sacrifice.

[@onenewworldmonkey]

@@roberthansen5727 Interesting. I could be very wrong but it seems that few seem to factor the value of a piece according to its position. I wonder what a computer would say about the move. Magnus just wanted to trade down and by initiating an exchange on Vasyl's terms, one that he didn't see, seems to have value, too. Add that value to the threat and forced moves I think adds also. The sum of those and change of positions are the compensation. Thanks for the reply.

[@FloydMaxwell]

6:51 - * a pawn

[@galmayhealthcare552]

Why is ding not playing?

[@carljuztine3328]

Chucky definitely just wanted to get things over with, he must be disinterested in continuing the game after move 30 because there's no winning chances at all obviously and he doesn't really care, so he blitzed out some passive moves. Magnus definitely knows that.

[@weeooh1]

I thought it looked like a draw when Ivanchuk resigned. Amazing how he saw so far ahead to realize his position was lost.

[@danielquigley2695]

It was possible to draw this one, but no longer win the end game... and he would have had to play like a machine against Magnus for over an hour for the same result because in his spot a draw is a loss. So sad. 😢

[@Isthatthegrimreaper170]

A combination of them being the best in the world and engine analysis

[@tomatoisnotafruit5670]

Too little material on the board and the position is not complicated, just a bishop each and a few pawns and also Chuky is down a pawn as well, so yes he has no chance to win unless Magnus blunders which would not happen in such a simple postion. and when I say simple, I mean simple for GM's, of course for the average players like us we would still find 100 ways to blunder the game there.
