Magnus "The Doctor" Carlsen | Lichess Titled Arena, May 2019

[@ChessNetwork]

If my voice seems off to you, good ear! I'm a bit under 100% and still in recovery mode. Did you watch this titled arena live? 😎

[@miladibrahim1068]

I did !

[@ScottBub]

Is everything a Benoni? I swear anytime you’re not sure what the opening is, you say Benoni! 😆

@BLAIR M Schirmer stfu dude

[@artner9624]

babaramdev means baba= father and ramdev is name so it means father ramdev.

[@AshishXiangyiKumar]

@BLAIR M Schirmer Uh, Carlsen won the 10th game of the match against Karjakin in 2016. I mean, no-one much cares for you hating on Carlsen, but it's kind of lame to make a basic mistake like this.

Carlsen on a completely different stratosphere. I have never seen such a gifted person who plays basically all chess types (960, Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, Classic) at the same highest level. Much respect...

[@schleiferbeppo]

Well that's not entirely true. Of course he is the best classic chess player in the world and the way he played, especially in 2019, was simply stunning. But Blitz is still different. He has a Blitz rating of freaking 2954, that's just out of this world...

[@loveless8241]

But can he win in crazyhouse???

[@spoookyspencer]

He also plays a fair amount of atomic chess on lichess

[@kasparov9]

Just setup the Naka match already 1'0, everyone is waiting for it.

[@bhaveshkahaneable]

@@schleiferbeppo lul u think naka is on same level as magnus in blitz or rapid 😂😂😂😂😂 naka never won rapid or blitz WC never levels

[@hoplahey]

If you for some reason don't watch all, trust me on this one: You definately want to see the game that starts at 49:15

[@ArcaneTricksterRS]

That was a very slick tactic

[@masteryehudi7031]

How can he see that in bullet?

[@hoplahey]

@@masteryehudi7031 Not only how can he see it, but you can tell by his moves that he got this plan after only 5-6 seconds on his clock. This is some of the most impressive I've seen from Carlsen. It really shows how good he is.

[@timtorpedo1941]

I would say its impossible to see this one in only a few seconds. Super GM skill. amazing

[@scrumpymanjack]

Carlsen is simply a beast. How can he win every single one of these titled arenas? He never has an off day? Unbelievable talent. I feel so lucky to be able to witness the greatest chess player who has ever lived....and to watch him play online, stream, give revealing interviews and to listen to ace commentators explain his games.

[@thisnicklldo]

You are a really excellent commentator - I wouldn't really have the faintest idea what was going on without your comments. Thank you for doing this - it's a real privilege to watch Magnus do his stuff. When he has gone we will miss him, I don't think his replacement will make himself so publicly available. So every tournament you cover is precious.

[@archibaldhaddock5277]

Logic Enthusiast most definitely🙃

[@GGxEpsilon]

I wonder if he intentionally loses the first game to go and crunch the FM for next 3-4 games.

[@shaheerziya2631]

I don't think so... He didn't play any bad moves in purpose. Although the opening might be a a little suspicious...

[@GALENGODIS]

Bortnyk is a very strong bullet player that is well capable to defeat a super gm in 1 game. I think that Carlsen just wasn't warmed up yet.

wow after that three loss in a row, Magnus turns his invincible mode on!

[@alexnaturalis1179]

This was one of the most disputed Lichess events I've seen with Jerry commenting. Midway there were still 9 players within grasp of first place, very exciting! That triple loss in a row for Carlson was shocking and uncharacteristic. I could feel his frustration as he took a breather, it was telling at how emotional he can get playing. He's only human we often forget! But like a true champion came back CRUSHING it with 12 wins in a row!! It's like he used that negative moment to fuel him to victory. Thank you Jerry for such a wonderful coverage.

@@coledansie9428 I think you don't know their history. Even Magnus mentions in his own stream that he is usually losing to him. Because some playing styles really counter each other especially in faster chess like bullet. But in this tournament though he played really well against him most probably he studied his style and beat him easily.

Yo jerry. Zugzwang is pronounced tsoog tswang (a pronounced as in pawn). And I think the "Jse" in JseMartinez stands for José. Just some thoughts. Great and funny commentary as usual. loveit

[@TheGrandmaMoses]

Sorry to be an a**hole, but that's simply not correct. The 'a' of Zugzwang is like the 'a' in 'car', just a bit shorter; it is not like the 'a' in pawn. Phonetically, the 'Zugzwang a' would be an 'ā' whereas the 'pawn a' would be an 'ɔː'. For completion, the 'a' in car would be 'a:' - it's pronounced exactly like 'ā', just a bit longer. Greetings from germany, have a good day.

@@TheGrandmaMoses You are correct not an asshole. pawn was just the first thing that came to mind instead of soogswang. Didn't think further.

Technically it's "tsook.tswang" due to syllable-final devoicing, which is a thing in German. But I guess, that would be a bit too much nitpicking
