What a great sport Peter is! Truly respectful as always.

[@11pupona]

thank you peter, as always a true gentleman.

[@Pinchfire]

Much respect to Peter. Losing to one of the greatest players in chess history ain't something to be ashamed of. Also those are blitz games, where Magnus's innate genius is even more evident, so yeah... To be able to take it with a smile and keep being positive is one of the many great qualities of Peter. GG!

[@ciprianchirilov1039]

Well said. Do not understand some of the stupid comments on here. These guys they enjoy a bit of banter and can take a bit of a piss take if it is done in a tasteful way i guess. But some of the comments were just rude. Lets face it. No gm on this planet can beat magnus in a blitz match. They might score a few wins but not win a match. Some of the best have tried in the speed chess championship and they all failed gloriously. We all remember how he destroyed the likes of wesley so grishcuk or nakamura

[@bhaveshkahaneable]

@@ciprianchirilov1039 remember- peter and nepo are only top player to have + score vs magnus in classical chess

[@grizzpy9995]

@@bhaveshkahaneable + scores are kind of meaningless without context though.

[@TheGrandmasterMan]

Peter Svidler is one of the greatest players in chess history....he just has the misfortune to be around when there are so many great players too.

[@kgx29]

Svidler always eloquent and his thought process is fascinating. I love it when he calls a bad move a "completely empty gesture". He is just so cooooool.

[@grancapoEstiqaatsi]

Peter is still a great player, a great sportsman and the best commentator ever

[@tome57a]

All respect to GM Peter Svidler, there is no shame in losing to Magnus Carlsen in blitz no matter who you are. I love Peter's professionalism, class, and objectivity.

[@maikarets2361]

Magnus is just a beast in blitz time controls. Didn't he go completely undefeated in the World Blitz this year? Sick..

[@akaRicoSanchez]

Peter Svidler commenting his own game is always both insightful and hilarious. Great show (we can call it that).

[@arnieus866]

This was fantastic to get the thinking from both players. Thank you Peter. No one could have done better against Magnus in his prime.

[@dactylpise78]

Only respect and admiration for you Peter.

[@vesivialvy]

What a great man ! only by doing that video , for fans ! that's amazing , thanks !!

[@marcjameslevesque]

I suggested to you guys about a year ago to bring Magnus on...thank you!

[@cr35t23]

LOL @30:30 "weird spot for a Bishop" No, no, no, no, no, weird spot for a rook Pete!

[@carlosleal683]

Congrats for the courage and the disponibility Peter. Playing a match against Carlsen and comenting at the same time is obvious a vey tuff task.

[@fabiano3004]

thank you peter :) always a pleasure to see you play

[@leigh71able]

peter you are all class. MC a true chess genius

[@klarex9799]

I love the peter comment.he always explain what is the main idea in the moves

[@donaldmetzger8238]

Thank you Peter for the great commentary and games. It is difficult to play the GOAT (meaning Greatest Of All Time), but your explanations and objectivity show that you are still a great player. It is kind of like I would imagine a Capablanca vs Bogolyubov match. Very nice and a great show, and your contributions to chess and life are very admirable. Your commentating is very lucid.

[@AnkhArcRod]

Peter is really so strong! But, Magnus is the best there is in this format and better still in bullet. This is truly his home turf.

[@peinmilan]

Even if there were no chess I could just enjoy listening to Peter's English. He's extremely resourceful to come up with expressions like "horrible mental episode" and likes... :) Very entertaining. Magnus is funny sometime but I prefer listening to Peter.

[@Mrius86]

Putting on some Steve Swallow (Deconstructed) and watch/play chess. I can't watch even a minute of this video before just needing to play some chess. I quickly lose a lot and come back to the video.

[@bigrick4284]

Magnus humorous as ever with his handle name

[@malcom91]

Thanks Peter!!

[@terrak7609]

Greetings from Biel ^^

[@user-eu4lc3ik5o]

Peter played on theory, but received on practice

[@sitanshupandey8358]

Wow... Peter just lost 100 points in 1 hour... That's the power of Magnus Carlsen. Though Peter tried hard. Hard luck

[@smartacademy4005]

True gentlemen

[@LUCASDBD]

Nice to see Peter getting back on his feet and tryharding.Also he still has positive result against magnus in classical chess :D

[@sergiofisch8424]

Magnus, el Rain Man del ajedrez. Si Dustin Hoffman no estuviera viejo, podría hacer su película.

[@mischatal]

Just wish Peter had more self confidence.

[@Amethyst_Friend]

He has plenty of confidence but, unlike in many people, it is tempered by humility.

[@schusterlehrling]

He needs more playing strengths. Self Confidence does not win anything, but you will lose very quickly, because self confident players tend to underestimate the opponents possibilities. You need untainted objectivity in chess, at least when doing concrete analysis.

[@schusterlehrling]

@Anon • bullshit. To forget about the opponents opportunity by ignoring them as you are "confident" never works. What you describe shows your fears, and it is not adbisable to ignore them. They show you how to avoid traps and possible misfortune. If you are self conscious you should listen to them and they are very important. If you lack any objective look upon yourself you are bound to lose.

[@wot_noobclown5621]

:” This is not how chess works, Magnus”

[@thetriumphofthethrill2457]

Svidler's a good sport. Good match. :-)

[@Socrates...]

Peter should have taken this more seriously, for the fans.

[@kentxx12]

Keep on playing good Chess Peter.

[@paulpena5040]

Peter has such a great character, humble and truthful. I would have been like "Well Magnus played well I just wish I wasn't cooking dinner, talking to my girlfriend, solving differential equations and training my cat at the same time..."

[@henrikdam6798]

Holy cow game 5 must've hurt..

[@Tomjrf]

"Semi-playable position" LOL I dig you Svidler :D

[@somebodys7404]

We must keep in mind he's against the world champion. Not much is playable against him!

[@protoword10]

Peter is a very classy gentlemen!

[@herotrojan1645]

if i can beat peter its means peter was a great gentleman with a smile and positive thinking..

[@fairtrue4557]

peter is the best analisys coach with juti polgar

[@gmailuser7449]

You can see the same session from magnus point of view..search it..the same title of the video

[@CapAnson12345]

Poor Peter.

[@Myrslokstok]

Peter is the kind of guy that tought he was supposed to be a good chessplayer, but when he comes to heven, God tells him that it was not the plan: - no you where only soposed to be the most likeble russian, the chess stuff you actually did all buy yourself.

[@sergiofisch8424]

Carlsen es una maldita máquina. Lo parió una máquina, lo crió una máquina, se formó con una máquina. Ahora él mismo es una máquina. Detrás de él está Skynet, a mí no me engañan...

[@Socrates...]

is there a Magnus video of this?

[@Myrslokstok]

Ot starts like 8 min in.

[@scrumpymanjack]

Must be galling to be a chess pro and get beaten up like that. Ouch.

[@markjuhasz2803]

Never retire! It is a good game. Kortchnoi forever!

[@figo88figo]

peter has the wrong headspace completely. he is using energy about the past, while losing focus on the present.

[@Jakrow]

he never really posed any problems for magnus

[@kavyanshagrawal5279]

Still peter can boast about classical time format against carlsen

[@pbrynild]

Once again

[@Myrslokstok]

Magnus did not: - drink bear, listen to loud rap music and discusing lyrics with his friend, making the moves in advance and wining 5-0. in his true Mozart mode style. He had some respect for the former nr 4, and 8 times russian champion.

[@andiosmani3003]

magnus was most likely using a computer here

[@sergiofisch8424]

Dejé de verlo porque es tan aburrido como las partidas de Stockfish.

[@tubiak1]

Seems like his kids are playing piano

Depressing, yikes

[@joshh6376]

i like chess but i dont care to listen to the rattling off of annotation like it's a second language. And when i do try to pick out a move and look at what youre saying its not a legal move. im sure i am just not hip to the knowledge but how about banter instead of pontificate.
