Nothing Short of Incredible! || Magnus vs MVL || Champions Chess Tour Finals (2024)

This channel is the only place i can come to where people just shut up and show you the game lol

[@ptadisbander7959]

He really has become popular for this reason. Other guys just haven’t figured out good pacing and have the charisma.

[@spindoctor6385]

Yep, unlike a lot of others he thinks the chess is the star of the show not his own ego.

[@GlassJ0e]

100%. I like Gotham’s coverage but his clickbait titles make me feel like I’m showing up to watch chess with a kindergarten class. 😂. Antonio shows respect to his audience.

5:43 it took Magnus exactly a minute out of a 10 minute rapid to win the game and blow our collective minds

[@tjhallett]

Beautiful game. Reminiscent of Ding’s brilliant victory against Ian when his mysterious pawn push ended up creating a mating net after a queen sacrifice. Thanks for the coverage!

[@marvindias1377]

was thinking the exact same thing that pawn push several moves earlier to cover the one missing square of checkmate.... beautiful from Ding and beautiful from Magnus

[@goose5462]

LOL, ding, the guy that everyone has been stomping for 4+ years. Dont compare Magnus to that loser, they are leagues apart.

[@llamaryder1]

​@goose5462 4+ years??? He had one bad year. Magnus hasn't been playing at his peak either, and he's never been unbeatable. Not sure why I'm feeding the troll though.

[@goose5462]

@@llamaryder1 Apologies, what good year has ding had since covid? 2022 chessable masters and 2023 World chess champion, gifted to him by Magnus. What else did i miss? I would list all the times he finished last or second last in tournaments, but I fear there is a limit to the length of posts.

Same as Fabi, Hikaru, So and so so so on etc etc... and we know who wins in the end...

Thanks for explaining all the lines at the end, and recapping that amazing R move followed by the Queen pin.

[@physicscogitor6192]

This Rd5 move and sequence of moves? Unbelievable, even more so when considering that this was a rapid game with very little time

[@Apersóôòn]

For some reason seeing a game in which the chess on the board is reflective and symbolic of the psychological brawl between these two Giants feels so artistically satisfying, feels good to be alive, here, in such a chaotically beautiful place of space and time.

[@KONSTANTINOS-qh8zc]

Agadmator you'll always be the number 1 chess channel 🙏 Merry Christmas!!

[@ejsampana426]

The scariest part of Magnus is that he randomly shifts from a positional player to a tactician to a defender to an attacker. In one moment you're playing against Capablanca, then Fischer, then Leko, then Tal...

[@masterm1nd256]

OMG this is a masterpiece from Magnus Carlsen. How far in the future he had to see to calculate this brilliance and this in the rapid format with mere minutes on the clock. He really is a machine.

[@79SharQue]

I definitely was going to #Suggest this game while I was streaming it live. I'm happy you covered it here (even before I got to suggest it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼). Thanks a lot.

[@nazarenoalmiron526]

[@naiyerhaque5441]

that rd5 is the most terrifying move ever scene 👍🏼

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

Almost every pro chess player looks short standing next to Antonio. Love the creative titles.

[@Champs-ek7lh]

Magnus took 1 minute on Rd5. Solved the whole game in 60 seconds

[@boernsi2000]

When Agad said "captured kingside ..." I knew, it would going to be ferry intarressting!

[@ayy1820]

Absolutely beautiful

[@EricJohnson-ls1rh]

At 3:12, why not Qxd6? If the bishop moves unmasking rook attack, Qxc5, and queen doesn't seem to be trapped.

[@tama-4225]

I saw this too and also couldn't see a reason it doesn't work. Anybody?

[@010Adrian010]

​​@@tama-4225I think Magnus intuitively saw that taking those two pawns would be bad in less than three moves. After taking, black bishop moves to c6 with a discovered attack, queen takes c5 and bishop takes bishop, leaving white worse. King takes, and now g5 kicks white knight's back, leaving the f3 square available for black's queen to check the white king. Magnus saw this and realised he would lose the initiative and that could lead him towards a draw or a worse position. Because at that point, if the king does not go back to g2 and remain in g1, the knight will check him in f3, thus achieving another discovered attack, but this time making him lose the queen.

[@kokoro212]

I checked the engine, Nh3 bc6 f4 Qxd6 bc6 Not much different Nh3 +0.33 Qxd6 +0.32 I have no idea

I’m surprised you didn’t show the fifth game, where Magnus missed 28.Qxf8+ , winning a full rook with 3 minutes on the clock.

[@nicknolan4350]

This Magnus guy seems to be pretty good at this game

[@Rocksite1]

Right up there with classical masters of the past, or beyond - making impossible moves. I don't know if he's playing to the crowd, or just finding hard-to-find moves, but, nice choice of a game. Does it count anything if I got the first two moves of the mating net?

[@VKarthik-kh7bg]

Nice explanation

[@elijahsimon6992]

That could just be a trick, too! Lol.

[@jaygbardo8781]

Show the game Chess Tour 2024. Where commentators overreact with possible mate in 2. It was not there...they got it wrong. Kh7 avoids the mate...Magnus indeed saw that and play Rd8. I'd like see that game.

[@shoaibaalam8978]

Why is Magnus so unstoppable? 😒😒 Other players seem so weak against him that his games have become downright boring. He doesn’t even let his opponents create any incredible positions! He just wins so effortlessly-it’s like a hot knife slicing through butter... or is it butter through a hot knife? Either way, it’s unfairly smooth.

[@goose5462]

Magnus is always on top while the other fumble around, pretending to be threats, Fizzy the farmer was the most recent, but he is of little relevance now.

[@anthonyschlott916]

I can't understand why you would let your opponent create a position that favors them. And honestly, I don't find this boring at all.
