Oh the Tyranny of the Majority! Dubov's game was absolutely genius calculating over the board! While all of them were spectacular, that one was the crown jewel in my eyes.

[@sachs8379]

It was 1995 when i first heard your commentary when i used to watch anand Kasparov play at 4 am Indian time, and you have the knack to keep viewers engaged and the most appropriate British accent and vocabulary!

[@irradiatedbadger]

Thanks Daniel for bringing such invigorating energy to the game of chess! You truly are helping the game stay relevant and alive in the modern era. And happy 2020 to you and your powerplay team!

[@Immortalassassin1]

I'm amazed by Magnus and his level of play. He will forever be a legend among the greats. Bravo to another amazing game. Thanks for posting Daniel, as always your commentary is exemplary.

[@dbfurrer]

One of most beautiful arrangement of pieces on the board and a true master victory!

[@thedancingveganatheist6310]

The fact that you call this Poetry is very nice. I wish more people realized that chess is beautiful.

[@JJ-kl7eq]

Mathematicians call the formation of pawns on f7, h7, g6 and f5 a Quangle. Well, not really, but they should.

[@tome57a]

Spectacular game. Beautiful geometry and complete domination. Thanks GM King for analysing this one, and Happy New Year!

[@someperson9052]

I have a feeling that Carlsen winning game of the year was partly due to his name recognition.

[@irradiatedbadger]

Even presidential votes end up turning into popularity contests. If we wanted a more objective "game of the year" then I guess we could have analyzed every game with a computer and based the winner off the highest performance. Or we could have just handed the trophy to alpha zero

[@horrortackleharry]

Also possibly the case for 2nd and 3rd- two wins over the unpopular draw machine Giri.

[@SimonPiano42]

@@irradiatedbadger though the chess game of the year is about more than performance. it's about creativity, daring to take risks, both players fighting hard, and unique elements of the game (like King said Dubov castling queenside in that position) that few players would have found or dared to play.

[@eyeofhorus1301]

+Nicolas Jalon Can't assume that, when you are clearly the strongest player in the world you're most likely to have the game of the year :P

[@fredrikmannsverk5071]

Happy New Year, Daniel. Thanks for all your brilliant videos and analysis. Cool that you showed this amazing game by MC.

[@pawn4129]

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Carlsen attacked, Liem cracked. This game is a true poet!

[@nanonipples6538]

OMG this needs to be demonitised. Magnus was so brutal.

[@imanshakib3653]

I like everything about your channel other than you are constantly on the verge of throwing up :)

[@Yekxus]

I voted for Dubov game, I was absolutely shocked by the Queenside castle, I don't think anybody would have done such a thing! Democracy is not always fair XD

[@oliverangermuller9827]

Although this was a rapid game ist was a great performance by Carlsen. Le Quang is a really strong rapid and blitz player. Concering the push of the rook pawns. Bent Larsen was famous for this. A long time ago I read that Larsen once should have joked that when he doesn't know what to do he pushes a rook pawn.

[@abj136]

Beauty is pawns of d6,e6 with rooks on d1,e1.

[@diosn6909]

Lovely game by carlsen!

[@jackkrom]

Thanks, nice analysis. I'm struck that after White achieves the position at move 14 he already has a big advantage, per the engine. But, it is not a slam dunk. After 14...Nac4 15 Bxb6! a road not taken is 15... axb6!? 16. Qb3 b5!? 17. Qxb5 Qxb5 18. Nxb5 and now engines give 18...c6!? as most tenacious with many complicated lines (e.g. 19 Nc7 Rac8 20 d6? Nxd6!) . The point was that Le Quang had some decent chances and curious if he calculated any of these variations. As the game went, it seemed that Magnus easily rolled over his opponent, using "Magnus factor".

[@scheimong]

Magnus rolled over a super GM in the center as if he's playing a kid! Oh my, talk about taking your opponent to school. Robert Hess and Yasser Seirawan's commentary at chess.com was legendary too, I watched that at least ten times

[@guest_informant]

8:25 I was just thinking, "Alpha Zero!" :-)

[@chazzabh]

Nice! Pl do a compare and contrast those two London System games where he conjured up crushing wins from what looked like thin air 😮😮

[@PowerPlayChess]

In case you missed it, here's the game versus Aronian from London: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4Syi5hqZqyobM0 I was also impressed by Carlsen's game against Kramnik in the World Blitz - and I looked at this in my latest opening survey for Patrons. You know what to do!

[@lazyatthedisco]

Omg he pushed h4-h5 so Alphazero-like!

[@longliveriley21]

@PowerPlayChess would love to hear your opinion about the controversy/appeal that occurred in the Alireza vs Carlsen blitz matchup

[@PowerPlayChess]

Storm in a tea cup.

[@davidblack2970]

@@PowerPlayChess I thought the phrase was 'Tempest in a teacup'.

[@PowerPlayChess]

@@davidblack2970 Not in West London. But you can say whatever you want.

[@davidblue819]

I've been impressed with the play of Le Quang Liem. He seems to play what I call "jagged chess," not holding advantages tight but zig-zagging almost randomly in the direction of anything that might work, which must make him hard to anticipate when he has the initiative. I guess he zigged when he should have zagged. If he was going to get compensation for Carlsen's strong pawns it could only come from the bishop, but Le Quang Liem's bishop accomplished nothing except to get kicked around; meanwhile Carlsen did everything right. Oh well, it was only a quick game.

[@TheTruthfulHeretic]

So then, Giri won overall with 41%?! :D JK nice game won. And as always, great analysis dear GM King!

[@XecutionStyle]

Just goes to show how vast chess is

[@krushgroovin7513]

Really great Daniel! I especially applaud the h4 “people say an AlphaZero move, BUT!” Some say a silly AZ move when Carlsen plays h4! Recently MVL h4 was called an AZ inspired move?! I recently found I haven’t been receiving your vids & forgot to vote, so voting now would be unfair, and some may say biased after hearing the results! Cheers

[@mwangikimani3970]

Such an apparently simple concept - central spatial control - not enough to win a game, black is solid and has piece play, controls d5, should be a draw, no? Most patzers would draw this in a blitz game, yes, maybe? Reminds me of the Fischer -Petrosian candidates game 8 where one is left wondering if Fischer cast a spell on his Soviet opponent because it seemed too simple - apparently too simple. Definition: Great players understand simple concepts very deeply.

[@rxw5520]

Why can't black take h5 at 8:41? Thanks

[@subudjj9368]

I think a lot voted for the magnus game because people like magnus, not because of the game. In my opinion the ding game was a lot deeper

[@sporadicdrive5884]

Yeah, that's true. I personally believe that Dubov vs Giri should have won the game of the year. It was a beautiful and entertaining game

[@NickTF2]

yes Dubov!

[@philosophyphilosophy903]

Don't worry, He will also take his crown of fischerrandom960 champion.

[@franckdebank]

Maybe M.Carlsen's initials are standing for Master Class

[@aleksandrailic5818]

This may not be particularly clever of me but I've been asking myself how such a strong player as Liem, who can calculate extremely complicated lines with such rigor and precision, failed to see that after the exchange of bishops, queen goes to b3, rook to d1, and the pawns are well defended forever, till victory? How? I saw it, am not kidding. Surely, I'd anyway lose the game to Liem, but I am not a professional chess player. The question is: how do you account for the apparent contradiction that extremely good chess players miss such obvious things as if they are amateurs?

[@ChromaticTempest]

Human emotion/psychology obviously. Many games are decided by nerves and not talent.

[@azice6034]

There are so many other things that go into it other than just pure calculation, also its rapid so he probably didn’t spend more than 2-3 mins calculating it which makes it very likely he oversaw something or thought he could play a move to save his position when in reality he couldn’t

[@ArtesanasCampesinas]

Great show. Tip: Don't say "really" so many times.

[@PowerPlayChess]

ArtesanasCampesinas That's really good to know. Thank you.

[@depriveable]

Game of the year should be alireza
