No time for Magnus to think! | Giga Quparadze vs Carlsen | Commentary by Sagar | World Rapid 2022

[@NotTheWheel]

This is peak commentary the play by play actually made it very exciting to watch.

[@xocomaox]

Sagar is incredibly charismatic when providing commentary and this is a shining example of that.

Sagar, for a new chess player like me, your commentary has made all the difference in making me see a different side of chess and appreciating the game so much more. Kudos to you sir 👏

[@KingElrosTarMinyatur]

GOAT commentator. Best commentator out there in the Chess world. FIDE should pay you. Please commentate the Sinquefield cup!

[@bobcurtis3958]

Love how Magnus is more concerned with his name badge and how neatly the chess pieces are aligned than the game clock... now that's confidence!

Yes, Giga put up a real multifaceted attack on Magnus.

Good but do your predictions on a separate board. 😅

[@SreeramReddyB]

Stupid commentary, too much talking, do predictions on separate board, in chess there are many combinations but predicting only a few combinations doesn’t make sense.

[@ArbitraryOnslaught]

Keep predictions! They were insightful. If you cannot think of other moves watching while he comments, then mute it. Problem solved.

[@sbvenom663]

Then you go and do commentary stupid ​@@SreeramReddyB

Giga gave a strong fight and even the world champion felt it tough. Giga was giving pressure on the clock and on the board but magnus carlsen fought even tougher than Giga in the endgame. The endgame was fascinating and it was an extraordinary commentary by sagar. Thank you very much for giving a clear idea on this fantastic game.

the analysis, preparation, timing, energy and editing are what make this commentary amazing. You see it is not live commentary from the time gaps while he speaks continuously and builds tension by describing alternate and optimal lines from the pre-done analysis. A true professional that has set the bar as high as it can go for post game commentary. He has made a very significant contribution to the great game of chess. These videos should be shared and promoted as widely as possible. Respect. 🫡

[@krishnabhat7978]

If someone has watched this game thoroughly, please tell me why didn’t giga advance his pawn to the other end to convert it into queen at 14:58. He moved his king to counterattack the bishop instead. That was a sheer blunder 😢

[@chinmayaprakash]

No, it wasn't a blunder. Both of Giga’s pawns are temporarily disadvantaged because their queening squares are easily defended by Magnus’ king and light-squared bishop. That gives Magnus a winning advantage since Giga does not have his own light-squared bishop and no way to control those squares. His knight cannot compete with the bishop pair, and his own dark-squared bishop is almost paralysed, blocking the pair of black pawns from advancing down the board. Give me a sample line from the White perspective and I will tell you how Black can defend against the pawn advance.

[@krishnabhat7978]

⁠@@chinmayaprakash I completely understand that giga’s bishop is paralysed blocking the 2 Pawns from converting, my point is giga shouldn’t have traded his knight with Carlson’s bishop instead advanced the pawn although it was 2 squares away from carslen’s king and that would have surely diverted carlsen’s focus as he was running out of time. One shouldn’t offer a trade when the opponent is running out of time ⌛️

[@laurencebarea6737]

[@connerbuckley5476]

One of the most exciting games I’ve watched

[@kendreamer6376]

What I noticed about Magnus that is unique to his endgame style. It's alot like Capablanca. He seems to give up some tactics for past pawns and he plays his endgame with trying to get as many pass pawns as he can. I studied Capablanca so my endgame style is to kill all the pawns and give no chances for a queen to appear.
