i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me

[@tristanpaul2116]

@Kaysen Casen instablaster ;)

[@kaysencasen9519]

@Tristan Paul Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@kaysencasen9519]

@Tristan Paul It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out !

[@tristanpaul2116]

@Kaysen Casen no problem :D

Daniel King is making a Dubov's series without even noticing it, this dude.. omg, such nice games.

[@rossmurray9654]

A classy comment by Magnus, "It would upset me more when people stopped celebrating after beating me."

[@thomaskember4628]

Carlsen's remark, "I'll get upset when people don't celebrate beating me", is the wittiest thing I have heard for ages.

[@eduardocelorio5388]

he sounds like fischer in an interview where he talks about the envy of other players towards him

[@haraldkrull2549]

That kid is the best thing that happened to Chess in a long time!!! 🙌😍

[@sar14cos]

I am much impressed by the manner you summed up the game with key positions at the ready (outpost knight and bishop, rook on open files, etc.) in a quick and easy flow. Professional work indeed! Nobody does it better.

[@parthasarathibhattacharyya7166]

Dubov is showing that spontaneous and spirited chess still works at the top level of chess

[@Yetia]

May be at this time control; anyway is very refreshing.

[@eduardocelorio5388]

you are correct , it is a pleasure to watch his. as opposed to others who never stop preparing every single move

[@MichaelFJ1969]

I really like watching the games between Dubov and Carlsen. Together, they bring the game to a new level. And great commentary by GM King!

[@MrRobbyvent]

"Dude of the year" : unbelievable, lol!

[@tome57a]

2020: Year of the dude?

[@cheryllins1105]

Amazing play. Dubov is definitely on his game right now. In just a couple weeks he'll be in Wijk aan Zee! As you've said in the past GM King, Carlsen likes clarity in a position and Dubov knows how to upset the balance. Perhaps he'll become known as the "Magician from Moscow".

[@nitifese4528]

Rxb7!! The guts you must have to play that move against Magnus. Lovely game, I was glad to see Dubov win. I'm sure we'll be seeing more upsets from him in the near future. Thanks again Mr. King!

[@fib1478]

14:40 😂 if the best chess commentator on KZbin is scared about this position, it really has to be mad

[@vzssb782]

Next time Jan-Krzysztof Duda beats Carlsen, the video better be called "Duda the year"

[@Yetia]

Duda is doubt in spanish; a lot of many phrases can be made.

[@pentakadi]

Your videos are great Mr.King..I always look forward to your analyses..I admire you greatly..Keep them coming..And I wish you a Happy 2021😃

[@mylovelyman2]

I remember watching Dubov play Carlsen much earlier on in the year and thinking it is only a matter of time. Creative, dynamic, fearless, Sacrificial and brutal. Comparisons between Tal and Dubov are not unjustified. Fantastic player, yes indeed Dude of the year. 2+2 =5 ( The wood is dark indeed.)

[@fredrikmannsverk5071]

All creds to Dubov. A really fantastic and creative player. He knows how to create chaotic and complicated positions. MC, on the other hand, has been struggling in the last three tournaments. I hope he soon will bounce back. He is obvisiouly very frustrated. Normally he would have found Queen A5 in the third game.

[@mikeanderson9278]

Nicely annotated, Mr. King.

[@FarisSaba5]

Dubov is a magician !!!!!

[@solaris70]

this is one of my happy place online and i enjoyed being able to attend this video. You made it a memorable day ending the 20 positively so thank you so much ‼️ im glad more Chess will be available for everyone so thank goodness 💜💚💙🧞‍♀️

[@PowerPlayChess]

Nice to hear! Thank you!

[@yonatanshenhav1208]

Daniil games are the best u've had on your channel. if i were you, Daniel, i'd go back and revise his games from the last 3 or 4 years. enough with slumber parties of two 2800 players ending in draws

[@MEME-qe4ze]

these guys are amazing! best analysis of course. If anybody defeats Carlsen, it is definitely time to celebrate!

[@chris5559]

Excellent breakdown of the match today!

[@femioyekan8184]

He plays the kind of chess that can give Magnus trouble.

[@norpriest521]

And what's that? I thought Magnus is like Thanos in chess world. Didn't know that MC does have weakness lol

[@femioyekan8184]

​@@norpriest521 You have it backwards, Thanos is like Magnus :).

[@HunterBelkiran]

What a crazy game!

[@dodekaedius]

He is just "dude of the final week of 2020"

[@virammehta1161]

This was Carlsen’s 2020 moment

[@ayal66]

Amazing, grazy, even mad but joyfull game. Quality-Chess as the commentary is, too!

[@virammehta1161]

I think the reason behind the blunders of these top players might be the time or else the difficult schedule of the tournament like you are playing for 5 consecutive days with four rapid games a day. Ian Nepomniatchi put something like this on his Instagram story too

[@PowerPlayChess]

When players have little time, they make mistakes, it's very simple. Rapid play randomises so that the top players (in classical chess) don't always win out. Some viewers seem appalled by the blunders ('How could someone that strong play something so bad!'). Others say: 'It's just not right! These players need more time! (Nepo's argument). Others accept the conditions and are simply entertained. I fall into this latter category. We should remember that this is NOT Classical, over-the-board chess, and until players such as Dubov and Firouzja prove themselves in that medium, then I'm going to reserve my predictions.

[@virammehta1161]

@@PowerPlayChess Thank You so much for your Insights and wish you a Happy New Year!

[@arnfinnevensen7022]

I cant remember a crazier day of Chess. The three big favourites Carlsen, Naka and So were all spanked and ended the year 2020 with red striped bottoms.

[@JimmyMorrison101]

The Magician from Russia takes Magnus to a deep dark forest where 2+2=5

[@amitchhugani5643]

Happy New Year

[@Yetia]

What refreshing style!! Magnus is more like Capablanca and Dubov more like Tal; the best is enemy of the good.

[@crazyim5]

Mr. King, the new mic is a massive audio upgrade (not sure when you did it)! Catching up to your videos late, thanks for your analysis as ever. Happy New Year 2021

[@bobby2ram]

Such a fabulous complicated game

[@Netscorer]

Could someone please explain to me why Russkies did not select Dubov as a wild card for the world championship challengers tournament? Instead they chose some young inexperienced dude who proceeded to stake the claim for the last place finish. Dubov would be fantastic in that tournament, wild card or not.

[@lazyatthedisco]

He wasn't qualified to be a wild card I think.

[@lazyatthedisco]

@@BeFourCM yep there was a whole set of rules set by FIDe to be eligible as a wild card

[@lazyatthedisco]

@@BeFourCM to refresh my memory (because this year has felt like a decade) I just re-read who were the players that met FIDe requirements for being the wildcard: MVL, Mamedjarov, Aronian and Aleeksenko. Of course the latter was the least experienced and I got mad that MVL wasn't chosen. But I wasn't the least surprised about what would be the Russian organizers final choice, it is after all another Russian

[@serpk80]

I wonder who is choosing these crazy names for such wonderful chess tournaments? ??

[@arekk.9254]

Worth mentioning that after 16.Ne3 black also has g5, looks risky but seems playable.

[@lostonso]

On 6:11 can white not play Qd3 opening the rook towards the queen and trapping it? Im sure im missing something but I dont immediately see it

[@eljanrimsa5843]

Black can cover with Nc5. (or Bc5)

[@josiahbrush4324]

What a game!

[@64keralachess]

Creative Player ! Dubov 👏👏👏

[@moonboy5851]

Dubov is entering the matrix. He’s really gone to another level...

Game of the year has to be Supi vs Carlson 2020

[@fib1478]

_Dudov the year_

[@alfredocastanedagarcia5616]

Dude-bov of the year

[@Myrslokstok]

Basicly he was pressing in all the games and deserved the win. Its like in boxing when a guy is in the center the whole game. Magnus has very few weknesses, but I think loseing is one thing he isnt that good at. When a guy just wants to play and dont defend he is normaly very good, but when it is a fearless Dobov it is a new game for Magnus.

[@eduardocelorio5388]

you should comment on ...pg5 since it appears to win a piece as opposed to pc5

In which position do you mean?

You’re great but there are too many ads in your videos. That’s why Agadmator has much more views. He understood that in chess analysis it’s specially annoying to be interrupted by a commercial. Please find a way to get rid of those ads, at least the ones at the middle of your videos.

[@PowerPlayChess]

Without adverts, we could not run this channel (there are two of us in this operation, me and my tech partner). Here's what you can do: click off the adverts after a few seconds.

Magnus is making uncharacteristic game ending blunders. It's strange.

[@naimas8120]

Exactly there is something happening in his life. Maybe his girlfriend

[@strong8705]

When he "blundered", options were several unclear complicated positions, and not enough time even for him to navigate.

[@enginekid88]

@@strong8705 everyone saw Queen a5 but him. then he put his queen on the only square his king needed to escape forced mate. that's a game ending blunder.

[@allykid4720]

He looked very unhealthy.

[@enginekid88]

@@BeFourCM maybe but I have been watching every event Magnus played in since he was 14, and I cannot remember a time since he became WC when he lost two events in a row without even making it past the quarter finals. Even he himself said he is in "a terrible funk".

Show third game.

[@bhabanishankarrath3973]

[@davidc5191]

Carlsen did not look good physically in these matches - eyes heavily lined and puffy - so I'm not surprised that he said he's been in a "funk."

[@A.mostafavi]

🤗👏👍

[@northshores7319]

Due to the immense amount of tension in Chess, I find you use of the word " Pleasant" when reffering to a position an odd choice. I never felt pleasant playing Chess. Only when one wins does one feel pleasant. Methinks Magnus is learning that he needs to sharpen his tactical eye for improvement. Did not Botvinnik say after he was asked after losing his Title to Tal about what would he do now he said-I will study two move problems.??

[@kiwichess]

Could you possibly reduce the number of adds during the video? Very unpleasant to watch when it's interrupted every 4-5 min.

[@archaeopteryx7405]

Too much interruptions of the video for commercials. That is really irritating.

[@josiahbrush4324]

Then don’t watch.

[@ulycelgab]

Daniil meteoric rise to chess world had been predicted long before last night. Accordingly, Magnus said Dubov is the future of chess. He and that Ferosja fellow will elevate Caisa into the new height never been seen since Fischer!

[@abhishekkj9664]

I don't understand, Fischer never played against the best . He ran away from Karpov. He beat couple of world no 10 ish players 6 nil . He is extremely overrated.

[@ulycelgab]

@@abhishekkj9664 ha? Are you a Chess lover? Then You don't know Chess History. You should know that Fischer is the GOAT chess master. This was taken from the on line poll. Even Wesley So chose Fischer as his GOAT HE is being followed by KAS, Magnus.. among others!

[@allykid4720]

@@ulycelgab Nobody since Fisher? Karpov, Kasparov, Anand, Carlsen? Fisher was great but GOAT? No way. He was great but was overhyped by western media to represent someone American who can beat Soviets during Cold War. At that time Karpov was DA BEAST, winning every major tournament. Fisher's refusal to play against Karpov is the sign of his weakness. Recent opinion polls show Hanz Zimmer as being GOAT composer. No Mozart, no Bach? Ask Wesley So who is his favorite musician, will his answer be in accordance with your favorite? His opinion is qualified, but still only his opinion, and he is in USA.

[@ulycelgab]

@@allykid4720 well it seems you haven't known the poll about the GOAT in Chess history apparently. The poll is followed on line and not sponsored in any way by any Western countries. Even Asian voted on it. FyI Like I say Fischer was voted #1 on that selection. NO EXPLANATION NEEDED.
