Thank you, Magnus. I enjoyed your overview of the series.

[@sudhisira]

It is great to listen to this analysis by the world champion chess player. This is such an absorbing movie. I could clearly see that real chess aficionados would find it even more absorbing. All I know about chess is that it is played on a board with 64 squares that alternate black and white in either direction, there are two sets of pieces, one black and one white, there are different rules for how you can move the various pieces, e.g. the pawns that start out front can only move forward and only one square at a time (I could be wrong about this one :-) )

Thank you for sharing all that insight and some experience to go along with it too. At 7-8 years as, I think you really are the strongest WC ever these days, but no big hurry in celebrating that! Let Garry have his time enjoying that now -- as if so, you will eventually anyway! He also spent time in a former giants' shadow too -- Fischer. Celebrating such, usually only brings one down if still playing, as there's no where else to go from the top, but! Thx again!

Honestly good person, amazing guy, and than world champion. I steel don’t believe that someone will replace him in next five years

[@MattiMCFC]

I think he'll remain world champion for upto 15 years before he does a soft retirement and just plays a few tournements every now and then. He seems really focused on improving in the game, and I think he showed that by sharing his concerns about the potential lack of classical chess in young chess generations. I think he studies even more than people like Firouza, Hikaru etc, so I don't think anyone is taking his crown any time soon

I got signs from Kramnik, Ivanchuk, Gelfand, Anand, Grischuk, Aronian, Jobava, Hikaru, Caruana, Adams and Svidler. And I saved a big place for the champion - you.

1..e5 This move allows your king to become active so that after black plays the natural 2.Ke2, developing the king, you can respond with the critical move 2..Ke7. Now, with optimal play, it should be a draw (for example, repetition of Ke1 Ke8 was seen between Paul Morphy and Mikhail Tal in 1987 World Championship) but you are guaranteed to not lose.

The school and community centre style venues often chosen for tournaments is... I don't know, it's not really a spectator friendly game and organizers can't really justify renting out a fancier venue if they can't sell seats for it. Perhaps the show will bolster public interest enough to allow more of that in future. Maybe. The problem is people are rarely prepared to watch full classical chess games running several hours each.
