Magnus surprising himself is always hilarious to me

[@michaelbennett7003]

Unbelievable display of chess brilliance by both players. I will never understand how they can calculate these complex positions so fast!

[@futureallwell]

Constant practice and expectations from fans helps to keep them going

[@X320riginal]

@@futureallwell It's more the forced Queen on Position d2 possessed fish sauce on d3 movingly fast like a butterfly with, Nelson Mandela with the queen sacrifice involved. Sting like a bee with the knight, hold the horses, chess plays for itself. That's all they do.

Daniel, your commentary is exceptional. Jesus. What a great game.

[@Saxeh]

Seriously, this guy and Levy are fantastic commentators for the game.

Really? I muted him.

@@treatb09 woahhhhh, you muted him!?! Holy shit, you’re so alpha, man. You muted the commentator, you must be a chess GOD! Do you sell courses??? I would love to buy a course from someone who muted the commentary. You know exactly what was happening 🤩🤩

Guy on the right:" *walks away crying* Commentator: "You can see laughter from both players there".

[@daruddock]

Right up until the last few seconds I was still expecting a draw at the least from Carlson. The fact he managed to pull out a check with 4 seconds on the clock is amazing!

[@phantorang]

Magnus facial expression at the end, priceless.

[@TreyMK12]

That was a beautiful game wow.

[@foohoo6991]

Props to Rapport for having the balls to go for a win when he had the draw though

[@hdmotivated]

That's not balls he was completely winning he had to go for a win

[@JacobChardBRA]

I am super new to chess, and I fell in love with it literally last week. I thought I knew how to play chess until I realised that I had no idea what I was doing. This just showed me how hard and how much thinking goes into chess.. so much pressure too. Hopefully I can learn a bunch this year :)

[@coreycooper6867]

You’re not alone man. I myself got a 5 dollar set from five below because I want to learn and I thought, it can’t be too hard, just learn the pieces and strategize. Boy have I been surprised haha 😂

[@louschweetz]

Amazing commentary by GM Naroditsky! What a game!

[@dilonsmith5143]

For those confused @8:08 its called"en passant" means "in passing". The rule of en passant says that when a pawn moves two squares on one turn, the very next move an adjacent pawn may capture that pawn as if it had only moved one square. The move was invented to prevent players from locking up the chessboard with pawns.

[@Jackiegoal]

Thanks, I was scrolling through the comments to understand this move.

[@uInfiniti]

Magnus is as impressive as always with his play, you almost expect that to happen... buut Daniel's commentary was just INSANE. I have seen him stream, and heard him before announcing major events, but this was next level. Truly grabbed your hand, your attention, and led you through what felt like a whirlwind of adventure instead of a chess match.

[@SunSnowGravity]

This commentary would be easily beat some radio coverages of '80s and '90s footbal games

[@onceapawnatime4121]

Crazy game! Best chess player with best chess commentator and love seeing Rapport play! Great video to watch, really enjoyed!!!

[@danielhowe7362]

Never mind if it's Blitz or Classical, this is one of the best Games of Chess I have ever watched!! Love Magnus' very Human Reaction!!

[@netkosent1620]

Whoa. That was an intense game to watch. That formation for most of the match was insane. Commentor is really good too.

[@Orion-zq8jf]

insane, 3 plus 1..that level of play

[@jondohnson8417]

Absolutely unbelieveable!!! And perfect commentary by Daniel!

[@markusnerke7073]

"You can see laughter from both players there".... No, you can't^^

[@ovechkin100]

That was wild.

[@happytrailsgaming]

Feel so lucky living in a time where he’s alive and a madman

[@scipionedelferro]

The most drammatic part was Magnus looking for the second queen on the bunch of captured pieces off the board with 4s on the clock

[@uujuu316]

Wow! It's the most exciting blitz game I've ever seen.

[@uujuu316]

And I've seen a lot of blitz games XD

Im wonder that why no one talks about GMNaroditskys awsome narration...

Incredible battle! What a game!

[@JMcomments]

Rapport didn’t chicken out, he was the bravest in the game

[@dannyduchamp]

If you see a draw against magnus, you should probably take it.

[@taliesine.8343]

If you see a possible win against magnus you should try just as much as if you where playing any other gm

[@fireblade2681]

I think Rapport is the only player who wouldn't take the draw in this position.

[@kamsulaman7007]

[@CameronJGilliam]

As soon as I seen that Magnus Carlsen was inevitably going to get at least one queen back no matter what I knew the game was over lol.

What a great game! Great play on both sides!

[@coolman000099]

It’s more impressive Daniel can keep up with how fast they’re playing without studdering over his words

[@originaljungle]

great commentry from @DanielNaroditskyGM ...one of the best IMO

[@isabellam1936]

I noticed because Magnus is so good at the endgame that he never saves time for it because he almost always lags a minute down on time in the middle game where he focuses the most setting up a good endgame for him.

[@Corteum]

What a cliffhanger of a game that was!

Danya's commentary to this game is top tier

[@heklik]

laughter from just one player not two

[@cyberhype5495]

I like one commentator for blitz games & DN did a good job

[@Gush27]

I swear it’s these videos by Danya reviewing blitz games that made Gotham start to do his weird WWE “the rooook” style commentating. He saw how everyone loves it and tries to emulate it

[@treatb09]

Very clever and fun game. I like games like this. Because the clocks become important to pressure. While magnus is Down on time. The opponent needs to keep pressure on the clock or his time becomes magnus’s time to think as well. So magnus used his time perfectly. Where it reverse pressured the opponent. Forcing him to keep moving until they made a mistake he could exploit. And that resulted in two queens😂

[@futureallwell]

Mind blowing game

[@ethanwheale9755]

You can see laughter from BOTH players there No. No you cannot.

[@cihuahua2814]

May i know why at 10:06, black pieces not putting queen at e2 to check and threaten the pawn at the same time to prevent checkmate?

[@Gush27]

White has perpetual check

[@RealityCheck1]

Off-topic, but can anyone suggest an old school book that made a positive difference in how you play? Modern books tend to be very wordly. I like it to the straight-forward/to the point, Bobby Fischer style.
