Weird things happened to the original video. Action starts at 8:45

[@antimon9085]

Not that I want to be picky, this is great content! But why don’t you ever cut your videos before you upload them? This can be easily automated with a script. Enter a start time (8:45), enter a stop time (1:01:55) and instantly upload the result to KZbin. And while I’m thinking about this even figuring out the time codes could easily be done by a machine because you start and end your videos with a still frame :-)

[@default-writer]

Svidler is retired from pro chess, so sad you are challanging Magnus agains a pensioneer, regardless of titles awarded, and not Caruana or raising stars from India and pakistan Woman world Champion, for example. It breaks my heart, really, i love to see rising stars trying to win the old king, not the rizing kings against the old star. Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @chess24!

[@idfx1000]

@@default-writer This is not the glorious uncertainty of sport, but a company selling you content. Magnus is the boss (as the owner) and Svidler the employee making a living. You want Caruana, you need to strike a deal with his agent, and the rising stars still have some work to do before they can expect the world champion to give them free publicity on a channel he is personnally funding.

[@RBG9000]

What a privilege to have the world chess champion commentating his own play! Congratulations chess24 on the 5 years, and all the best for the future!

It was humorous, but religious men don't pray when they are doing great work educating the world, and the result is not a matter of life an death. He might pray that he can explain why what he chose was unwise, though.

[@thetriumphofthethrill2457]

Fun stuff. Chess24 should host more of this kind of matches.

[@-_Nuke_-]

I particularly liked the fact that Magnus was thinking out loud, which makes everything more clear and more instructive! Magnus just shows how important it is to study endgames more than anything else. Endgames are the key to success in chess and anyone that finds them boring will not succeed in becoming anything close to a good player. Magnus unbelievable endgame knowledge makes his games so much easier, because he can just exchange everything, get a winning position in the endgame and win every game he plays... Where other GMs are trying to trick their opponent somehow...

[@ArjenHuizingaNL]

Having viewed Some banters from MC i really appreciate his english. Not so obvious to speak so casual your non-native tonque and be so funny and fluent. It is his Chess talk that i find uncomprehensible...

[@skarha1]

Magnus did a great job in explaining his thoughts and analysis in real-time during the 5 minute games! The whole thing took less than an hour and he thought it was helpful to keep him sharp while on vacation and it didn't burn him out. This should be a regular event every week with different opponents!

What a great match! Both players can be proud of their contributions to chess, which is "a mirror of life ... the whole drama of tempation, sin, and punishment, of conflict, effort and victory of justice, is there depicted in miniature. Such a game can never die, and as the world advances, the practice of chess is bound to become the universal pastime." --- Emanuel Lasker Thank you both for such a great endeavor.

[@donaldmetzger8238]

@26:25 Svidler doesn't have any extra tempi, and the game is brilliantly played by Magnus. The entire Nd2-f1-e3 idea is just lost tempi. I think 11...f5 is better than Nxd5 though, as the c6 N on e7 is potentially more dynamic through f5 or g6, although the captures on e7 would be a mistake by white. What Magnus says at 26:50 is absolutely correct. Weak points are only weak if they are relevant. After 12.f5, the correct idea for Svidler would have been b4, rather than the trade on f5, since the e4 pawn wasn't weak.

[@DeuceGenius]

fantastic cant wait to watch thanks everyone who made this possible for me to wake up today and watch this lol

[@candia_musica]

At 39:20 Nxd4 is winning because it forces Rxf1 (otherwise white captures the rook on f6) and after the other rook recaptures on f1, it threatens a mate on f8, forcing black to move his bishop from c8 (so his rook on a8 defends f8), and after Nb5, the pawn on d6 is impossible to defend.

[@donaldmetzger8238]

Magnus, you are correct to play d5 allowing Bxc3 at 32:38. That is true judgment. The followup is greatly instructive. 38:45 that is the concept of Banter Blitz, explaining your thoughts. Your opponent is not your audience, but the improving chess player is your audience. You are a teacher, and your fans want to understand better. Yes, 19.Nxd4 was better, but you already saw the win, and didn't expect such a luscious opportunity.

[@donaldmetzger8238]

What matter is the potential energy from the weak squares, and Peter loses the thread, with too static a view. Thank you again, Magnus. Ceteris paribus, which they never are. Remember that you yourself say around 30:00 "those who know me, know that I value creating counterplay most." That dynamicism, combined with your endgame instincts, and knowing the true significance of positional features, can get you to 3000 in standard chess. It is possible for a human, as the engines prove it is possible to play even better. You are the GOAT, btw, but you can and will get even better. I cannot play at these speeds, but I can understand, and appreciate you.

No he didn't miss the fork. His idea was bxc6 bxc6 Rb7 and if Bc8 Rb2 so that after Nxf1 Bxc6 he gets the exchange back. However he did miss initially that black can simply play 1... Bxc6.

Mwangi Kimani I think that was more to patterns recognition rather than calculating.

[@donaldmetzger8238]

Magnus, it seems that your endgame sense is just so far better than everyone else today, that if you were to focus on superior space and time, considering then the endgame positions, you will do no worse than draw. Caruana is tricky in his innovations in the early middle-game, but you can trust yourself. Just keep "ceteris paribus" in mind, and that it never is. You can be world champion for the next 20 years, but don't stress it. Lasker was still the best after one bad match.

[@strings1984]

At 22:00 you are better but you did seem to take with the wrong bishop.... The white bishop threatens the knight and forces him to move it and simply be down a piece; simply terrible, or take back opening the file when you take the bishop on B6. He can't take the pawn back with the night as it gards the C5 square and there is no way to stop you from either pinning the night to the king or pushing the pawn. But you where right and none of this was nessisary.

[@strings1984]

That was beautiful.
