This is a superb demonstration of Carlsens technique. Always on top, ground out a victory. I think he is now surpassing Karpov in strangling his opponents. I was a doubter before the World Championship, my faith in him is fully restored. In the medium term i see Ding being his strongest opponent.

[@oliverangermuller9827]

In this tournament we saw the "old" Carlsen. He played like an engine. I think many other players would not be able to win this game. Very impressive and precise play by the champ. Oil tanker - very good metaphor by the way.

I AM LOVING THE CREATIVE TITLES

[@Narrowcros]

This is how Carlsen usually wins, equlish or slightly better endgames he knows how to convert against most GM's.

[@chessdad182]

I watched the game and was impressed how Magnus took a position where his pieces were passive to one where they were ideally placed. I thought I need to watch this video to learn more.

[@garydormand2108]

Such a hard game to win, but where there is an edge in an endgame Carlsen seems to win. This was such a patient game that shows how great Carlsen is and I'm not sure anyone else could have won this.

[@nicknamenescio]

I love how Daniel King's voice so deliberately slows down for the second part of Ian's last name. He is so dedicated to say it right, nice :).

[@Grandcapi]

Great performance by the World Champion.

[@finfelagund]

I would desperately like to see MC checkmate with knight and bishop!

[@jabbarx1]

Karpov and Magnus made me enjoy and appreciate boring style that's how good they can do it

[@paulgoogol2652]

don't forget Kasparov who learned from Karpov quickly.

[@jabbarx1]

@@paulgoogol2652 I'm talking about boring style Kasparov is not in this category at all if someone is forgotten it might Anand too

@@jabbarx1 i think you don't know many kasparov's games

[@jabbarx1]

@@pierolocatelli8037 I've seen many of Kasparov games could be half plus. I don't want to see all his games anyway. I still can't say Kasparov style is boring meaning playing very controlling game looking for very slight advantage in the end game. even Magnus and Karpov have aggressive games where they take risks, sacrifices.... They're able to play that style but it's not the thing that defines them. Piero Locatelli Who are you

[@DeuceGenius]

@@pierolocatelli8037 he was more known for his attacking exciting style.

[@MrSilvershane]

Great vid as usual Dan. I had a game in Scarborough where I was losing and forced my opponent into Bishop and Knight vs King. Luckily he did not know the technique... Phew!

[@danielhines6728]

So you had an unFAIR advantage then ? Get it ?! : ¬ )

[@MrSilvershane]

@@danielhines6728 Heh. Yep get it!

[@lemoncake7565]

Amazing game! Thank you :)

[@arnieus866]

Thanks Daniel. Seems to me Carlsen just tires opponents out with his relentless mental focus. He plays on when many would just draw because he knows he can outlast them and punish the first inaccurate move. What a maestro.

[@JJ-kl7eq]

Alternatively: Play like an oil tanker - play crudely.

[@PowerPlayChess]

Carlsen's play was anything but crude. This was refined :)

Plot twist: Magnus actually forgot how to checkmate with bishop and knight

Nice commentary style to keep the computer stuff to the background.

[@SuperAussi3]

10:52 😂 you made my day! Me too at that position I would be concerned if I played white... Good comment, like u read my mind

[@taljechin]

Oil tankers are very slow to change course. You need to be at least 2 km ahead in your head when steering it to be able to avoid any snags ahead...

[@HunterBelkiran]

Seems like this endgame to me..

[@chrisiver8506]

perfect analogy

[@AnandSivaram22]

Well. Had it been anybody other channel, I would be pissed at people saying first second third etc, but this one is worth it.. One of the earliest!

[@magedalbehairy4634]

Thank you

[@karloballa6476]

It seems to me that Duda hoped for some tactics with two rooks. In my (humble) opinion, with the pawn majority in the center and pawns spread on both side, in the long run, the only logical solution should be to trade a pair of rooks with Rdd2.

[@DeuceGenius]

are there any coupons for a power play chess hoodie?? i cannot afford 40 bucks sadly. i would wear it a lot though

[@IanMcGarrett]

I used to hustle chess in Toronto (chess tables outside Sam the Record Man - alas now gone) and one of my propositions was giving time odds of 5 minutes to 2 and draw odds, and taking the material advantage of the Bishop and Knight vs. King, and truth to tell I'm not a very good player so... yeah, I think Carlsen had this one covered, but good joke, Daniel.

[@DeuceGenius]

That Carlsen guy.. he's pretty good

[@johnkom2339]

Just a preliminary comment -- very difficult endgame for 'average' players (maybe anyone below Grandmaster?) to understand. But I would question where did Black go wrong? Daniel does not seem to be pinpointing a failed strategy or move by Duda; was it wrong for Black to advance his pawns so aggressively? Even the engines don't seem to be of much help. Worth a lot of study.

[@pierolocatelli8037]

After h6 white is better. It's very difficult to play, but white is better

[@johnkom2339]

@@mobilegamers1tv638 With all due respect, it's not that easy. I don't get the impression from Daniel's presentation that he considered it clear cut, hence we are obligated to see where Black could have improved his chances to draw. For example, in his coverage of the game Svidler suggested that Black could have traded a pair of rooks early, (around move 28) to ease the defense. Svidler also mentioned that Sesse found possible drawing lines.

[@chrisiver8506]

Analyze it deeply and get back to us. At this level extreme subtleties win the position, and usually they are human subtleties like preferences and comfort. Engines won't help too much

[@johnkom2339]

@@chrisiver8506 Okay I did have a chance to get back to Svidler's video, where he fingers Magnus' 43 Kc3 as inaccurate. He gives the line 43 Kc3 Rd5! 44 Bc2 Rbd8 and claims that now the Rooks can enter d2, e.g. 45 a5 Rd2 46 Nf4 46 Rf2! The engines seem to concur since White has now only a small plus. Wow, can learn a lot from analyzing it.

[@danielhines6728]

Top flight display by Carlsen.....

[@pawn4129]

Danny, you always say split rooks are bad but when Magnus does exactly that it is fine. How on earth should we ever understand chess?!

[@novikmish]

Very tricky indeed

[@lollycopter]

We're going to have to wait to see if Carlsen can do it in a top-tier bullet game with 5 seconds remaining.

Oil tanker? Maybe he meant to make very sorrye progress?
