Can i play chess with you

[@tkimaginestudio]

Thanks so much for covering the championship! I really appreciate your insightful commentary and pop-quizzes.

[@rezganger]

Thanks for sharing,man!

ChessNetwork thank you please cover the rest of the championship.

[@hiderunbride8431]

One of the best analysis and commentators.

[@EricSmyth4Christ]

THE best. I don't know if anyone else is close.

[@Omega3131]

@@EricSmyth4Christ Watch Chess24. They have Svidler and Grischuk commentating and analyzing. They are both extremely knowledgeable and Grischuk is really funny too. Jerry does very good work but you just can't compare to these guys in any metric. There's also coverage with Yasser Seirawan and Maurice Ashley on St. Louis Chess Club that is also better than Jerry's in terms of analysis and interest (they have people calling them during the boring parts of the game and asking questions for example).

[@GlobalSportsGamer]

Man your commitment is crazy, thanks for all the content, hope you don't burn yourself out ahaha

[@alchermd]

I started watching Jerry around 8 years ago when I was first trying to learn Chess, way before he had that "click" sound in his intros lmao. I think it's safe to assume that as long as there's interesting stuff to cover he'll be here to create content for us.

[@herzwatithink9289]

Jerry was a chess engine before chess engines were even a thing :)

[@catandfishfc]

Zoe TheCat He won't burn out, but his voice will if we're going by the last world championship lmao

[@avinashsorab5026]

The way Jerry explains about pieces and movements, it's almost as if they have lives. Makes it so interesting.

[@TheJulesdu974]

"But the bishop's got something to say about that" Hahahaha I agree with you 100%

[@B1G_Dave]

The accuracy is just insane! Makes for boring looking games, but the levels these two are playing at is just crazy.

[@cptnoremac]

I've seen way more boring than this. I thought the moment where Caruana offered Carlsen a fork was pretty exciting. We were all trying to figure out what would happen if he accepted.

[@Tobias-fe2hm]

I think the awesome part is what they dont play

[@Ruminations09]

I genuinely found both this game and game 1 super interesting. As Tobias said, the interesting thing in these games has been the moves that both players opted against.

[@ratchet_hoe]

What's funny is i don't find it boring at all like most people have been saying. I see two strong players neck and neck, pushing each other to the top of their game. The epitome of a matchup for the Champion title. If it were a complete blowout on one side, I wouldn't be nearly as interested.

[@isaacstevens5415]

Once again, thanks for awesome videos delivered quickly.

[@catcatcatcatcatcatcatcatcatca]

This is the first championship I have really paid attention to, and im impressed in the KZbin chess community, and how fast and well it covers the games. Both games this far have been so even, and that mistake graph really shows how good both players are.

[@JGray1066]

Best chess commentator out there!!.......tried watching three other vids for this game, and quit all three because the commentators continually went off on endless and irrelevant lines that were nothing to do with the actual game!!

[@Mustafa-vu5ke]

@@notHahaShorts what about agadmator?

[@Skipnamethistime]

@@Mustafa-vu5ke; @winter sun what about agadmator?

[@jerry6830]

Winter sun Well, I watch both and subscribed them .. :) Here are few differences I observed ... Agamator covers bit more chess history , footages of matches/players along with reasonable game analysis and variations... Whereas Jerry jumps directly into the game and analyses it in more depth by showing few extra variations and tactical ideas for the viewers :) While watching agamator channel you basically get to visualise the whole Tournament scenario in general , while watching Jerry’s makes you feel you gained more knowledge... And one more thing.. If you scroll down to the comments on Jerry’s channel, you get to see more discussions on variations , board positions , doubts etc... which shows people here are looking for more knowledge, where the comments at agamator channel are more about his dog😅, speakers, players’ suits and emotional stuffs (good actually) which means people there are mostly like to enjoy the show:) .. So, If you are a viewer of both keep it up:) both of their commentaries are incomparable 😎

[@trueteller25]

2:45 I find this change of moves very interesting, especially because, in a similar position (early queen move pining the king) against Kasparov, Carlsen (who was a kid) played Nd2.

damn, jerry can make any mundane thing interesting as hell. no i don't mean this game's boring or something but jerry's analysis takes it to another level.

[@looinrims]

dropagemonem to the naked eye chess is really boring, it’s not like American football where it’s obvious to even brainlets that something significant happened, like a fumble or interception

[@WilXuH]

Thanks Jerry!!

[@indianfan1029]

Yes i agree, your coverage is, or was, awesome. I checked a number of channels before choosing yours. The main issue I had with other channels, was the unnecessary shouting that they started suddenly. I was like I came here to watch chess, not a football match.

[@ZachVanHarrisJR]

This one came down to a nail biter!! Love it, thank you!! Peace ✌- Zach Van Harris JR

[@Ericbryanmr]

Im starting to feel that this match is similar to what we would have seen should Fischer-Karpov 1975 occurred.

[@Narrowcros]

Fischer would have won that

[@anjanisingh5873]

I am not watching this because it's world chess championship. I am watching this because you have uploaded it Jerry. I desperately keep waiting for your analysis of any game

[@PTBBme]

Will be following this match through jerry. I watched jerry and then john for game one yesterday, and not to butt heads but i like jerry's level of detail more. Rewatching the game through john was just a rehash with less, it was too glazed over. Love that jerry follows a few lines and variations, makes me appreciate the game more with roughly the same video runtime.

[@wasp89898989]

Hi Jerry Thank you for the coverage! :)

[@ChessNetwork]

Hi wasp. Welcome! :)

[@AvantTom]

What a draw-matic match!

[@markus6210]

At 19:22, I believe it’s move 44, why does white move h2-h3 instead of f2-f3?

[@leandroearth]

Nice shot. As we say in Brazilian way "Jerry's understanding is an absurd" meaning you are beast explaining. Nice game, nice comments ☺

[@oliverzhang4938]

8:04, B to d7, yeah that's definitely d7, not d6, not at all.

Excellent lucid analysis.

[@simonlepine7765]

I learn a lot with you. Sir. From Canada.

[@zoranvucenovic3824]

Good plan insight analysis for both sides of the board. I like that...

[@guilhermesilva1075]

In the variation where the white rook goes to g6 (19:01) and the black king is on e8, cant the rook make a check and grab the e5 pawn?

[@herzwatithink9289]

I can't see why queen takes at 9:24 isn't a mistake because of bf3 from White. If Black took with the pawn he would maintain the double attack against a4, but maybe his king is a bit airy?

[@rajeevr7621]

Hi Jerry.. Thanks for this Video.. Love you from India.. 🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@Emc4421]

I liked before I even watched.

[@JonathanChute]

19:00 - the hypothetical presented with the Rook moving to g6 and the King moving to e8. Jerry states that there is no way to win a pawn. But could you not play Re6+ and after the King reacts you could pick up the e Pawn. Or am I missing something?

[@anthoras]

it can be blocked with the rook. rook takes pawn or rook exchange leaves you at a disadvantage as white.

[@Exodus5K]

Somebody help me, What's wrong with 17. Nc4? Forking the Queen and Bishop... it looks like you're just going to pick up the exchange?

[@ag1806]

Lots of "Poisoned stuff" for Fabiano to avoid. Thanks for pointing that out during analysis.

[@billkranz8035]

Thanks!!

[@jsmith1899]

8:33 NC4 ...seems like it would win?

[@thu6ishru66ish7]

Thank you

[@brunoazevedo6380]

analysis fine , but I would suggest first show the whole match ? then go through some options-it helps to grasp the development of the match, then possibilities

[@BinkonBal4]

Thank you Jerry

[@sean893]

18:56 Correct me if I'm wrong, but what if after 37: *Ke8*, then white rook gives *Re6* check? Can White steal a pawn by 39: *Rxe5*?

[@major600]

At 8:40, I would've moved the white bishop to D3. Either the black King will have to move, or the bishop will have to be blocked by the F7 or G7 pawns. Bishop takes the pawn. It doesn't matter which. Pawn takes the bishop. Queen takes the pawn...but then bishop takes Queen. OR move white bishop to H5. Black now has to move the King or block the bishop with the pawn. Otherwise, it will be check the next move when the bishop takes the F7 pawn. The King could only move right or left leaving an opening for the white Queen to cross the board to H. If the King moves left. The Queen goes to H7. Checkmate in two moves. King goes to H8. White knight to G6, check. Pawn takes Knight. Queen takes pawn. The king is screwed.

its great that jerry does the analysis, but thankfully there is 2X speed to listen to it, :):0:)

[@looinrims]

Much more exciting than the 2016 games, then again, with the 2016 games many saw a 100% level game, no advantage almost anywhere, these positions are much more dynamic than the bog standard Spanish endgame openings

[@Dave-C21]

9:40 why not Nc4? Your bishop is hit twice defended once (by pawn), blacks bishop is hit twice defended once (by Rook) , but you're also on blacks queen. There's no check or unveiled attack from the resulting position, black would have to flee with the queen and you could exchange Bishop and Knight for Bishop and Rook?

[@imamk88]

Sorry but att move 17, why cannot the white knight just jump in for the queen and bishop fork?

[@SarveshKumar-zw8su]

Plz make video on tactics

[@ChessNetwork]

[@ebrahimadams8425]

8:49 would Nc4 be a good move? Love the channel. Keep up the good work :D

[@xfilercuba]

Qxc3, exhange of queens then the knight on c3 can always take the bishop on e2 with check

[@I_am_Itay]

No because q:c3 q:c3 N:f3 and e2 is hanging, ithought that this is the tactical idea that he meant

[@hansharz9934]

Two or three years back Karjakin was the challenger and it was a LOT of draws until the rapid decided the match. Wonder if Caruana gets the same "criticism" of playing boring if this turns out to develop similarly.

[@ouderwetsss]

dammit Jerry! I missed you . keep up the work

[@MohMoh-mw9ml]

1:11 could someone please explain to me that lost tempo thing ? Isnt Black also wasting a tempo by capturing that c4 pawn ? Black couldve played Nc6 for example instead of capturing c4, so why is it considered a wasted tempo when white moves his bishop again ?

[@spegee5332]

You're right, in a sense. Black is using an "extra move" to capture that pawn, and then White recaptures with an extra move for the bishop. However, if you don't wait for the bishop move, Black uses an "extra move" to capture the c4 pawn, and White can develop his bishop to c4 right away without having to first move to another square. it's not that Black has an advantage after that, but they can feel more comfortable taking knowing that they haven't lost a tempo.

[@MohMoh-mw9ml]

@@spegee5332 thank you very much, i now can understand it this way, i myself wont capture c4 coz i feel like i am helping him to deploy that bishop to good square c4, i just didnt understand the tempo thing. 👍

[@Kjeldsen4]

Did white make a suboptimal move prior to blacks Qa5??

[@NotoriousP]

I don’t get why the times always changing, going down i get, but why do they get more time on their clock ?

9:45 KC4?

[@The_Irate_Penguin]

I definitely need my 2nd cup of coffee before unpausing the video at your first pop quiz (at 8:38, after black's 16th move). It took me minutes to figure out why white's 17: Nc4 would not be a good idea. I could of course make it an Irish coffee. That wouldn't improve my skills, but I wouldn't mind my failures quite as much.

[@MultiEcko15]

Don’t give up

[@whong09]

Game of pins and restricted movements. I wonder if we'll see a game in this series with any levity.
