@@joyrajghosh6322 Thank you!

[@sebszab76]

What a masterpiece by Carlsen. I was looking forward to your analysis, Danny, and as usual, you haven't disappointed.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

As you say Daniel, everyone has a bad day. We are used to wonderful days from Carlsen, this was one of the best. An exchange sacrifice in true Petrosian style and a zugzwang which compares well with Nimzowitch v Samisch. A good day at the office too for GM king with his usual, Lucius, enthusiastic and level headed analysis. Thanks Daniel and keep up the good work.

[@nickjackson6962]

Powerplay to 100k!!!

[@kenspencer9895]

I certainly would not want to face Carlsen in a consolation match after he just lost a match . . .

[@daniloventicinque783]

Looking forward to seeing this again in a Game of the Year video in December 😁

[@nabin6976]

This one will go down in the books as the Modern Immortal Zugzwang. Possibly the best Magnus game ever.

[@nihlathak2911]

best game of the tournament -100%

[@arnfinnevensen7022]

Nah, he has played far better games. Games where nobody seems to find out where the opponent went wrong, here Fedo blundered. It is easy to forget past games and be impressed by those You saw recently. But, of course a classy game.

[@crissycabrera6134]

Carlsen's so good he makes experienced grandmasters look like the FM next door

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

I think Nepo said it best on Twitter when he made a comment along the lines of "chess is much more difficult to play on a 4x4 board as opposed to an 8x8 board". It still amazes me that people think Carlsen is all about long drawn-out end games. This was a game of superb positional attacking quality. It was almost sadistic how he tortured his opponent with about 20 near zugzwangs. Incredible performance and some of the lines you were making exemplified the beauty of this game.

[@HunterBelkiran]

powerplay to 100k! :D

[@thel2ock]

Appreciate the videos, keep on goin as I cannot imagine having my chess fix from anywhere else.

[@krazychessplaya]

Reminds me of the Ivanchuk Kasparov game where Kasparov was paralyzed

[@ClarkPotter]

Daniel should have 1M subs before Levy, Hikaru, and Agad. Nothing against those guys either, ofc I like them, too. But Daniel, imo, is *the best* chess commentator. Daniel oozes English charm and character. He's passionate, expressive, conveys the drama of the game he's covering, he's so beautifully descriptive in a way that makes both the 1200 and the 2000 player satisfied, professional, consistent, GM-knowledge that translates perfectly to all levels he's explaining to. He's just the best. Thank you, Daniel.

[@brandonjoncas1582]

daniel is still big at least but i do agree daniel king has the best commentary and i watched many channels

[@BigAsciiHappyStar]

I agree that comments about Carlsen’s “terrible play in one game” are totally unwarranted. Anybody who expects to see 50 consecutive games without the occasional bad loss does not understand the basic laws of mathematics and probability. At the highest levels of play, winning chess is all about putting opponents under constant pressure and forcing them to play at less than their true strength.

[@TheLincolnrailsplitt]

Yes. We aren't algorithms.

[@alessandrodellacorte1737]

Very balanced analysis. Great stuff!

[@rnedisc]

8:36 holy hell!

[@DG-ss2zd]

Great coverage and commentary

[@flippert0]

This is really "powerplaychess"! Perhaps only surpassed by the reverse game today (total paralysis of black's forces, like zugzwang in the middle game)

[@JJ-kl7eq]

Unfair advantage for Carlsen. He’s the current God of chess and Fedoseev is just a Vladimere mortal.

[@brandonjoncas1582]

i think neopaminichi will give em a good run for his money

[@xw6968]

Fedoseev has a lower rating then you?.

[@unknownalsounknown4238]

@@xw6968 I think vladimere is a pun on ordinary mortal in some weird way?

[@vincentsimbol7251]

@@unknownalsounknown4238 more like a pun on the phrase mere mortal

[@bkoffi]

Love the content as usual, Just fyi, I don't think they let any FMs into the world cup

[@erikskov8759]

@Mr. King As always a superb analysis of a beautiful played game. Interesting is the fact that Magnus in the classical time control won 8 games and drew 6, whereas Duda won 5 games and drew 9. So you are so right about one bad day at the office is all it takes to lose a tournament.

[@reddevilkev]

there is an error in the video it says Fedoseev is a Fide Master lol

Software glitch

[@kimtaewoo3274]

You will hit 100 K till this year.

[@kristiannenadic9938]

One of the greatest Magnus's game in the World Cup :D

[@utpicberlin1225]

Would be wonderful if you could cover his second game against Fedoseev. Seemed like a masterpiece to me, with similar paralysing effect.

[@KirubanithiKiruba-vo6ih]

Your coments are always fantastic

[@guest_informant]

My cat tells me, nay, screams at me, Fedoseev is not an FM ;-)

[@enginekid88]

I was so sad Magnus lost to Duda. It was heart breaking.

[@HunterBelkiran]

This is classic Carlsen

[@chazzabh]

What a disastrous result for Carlsen! The only Top Ten player to have a serious rating jump. Ruination. Tsk. This and his following game v Fedoseev were two zugzwang masterpieces for the ages.

[@TheLincolnrailsplitt]

💯

[@nihlathak2911]

Great game by Magnus !

[@davidwillacy4796]

Thank you Daniel. Absolutely top notch analysis as usual. You still need your hair cutting mind you😉

[@PowerPlayChess]

And look like you? (M.Jagger)

[@elienecampos7699]

Keep your style Daniel, it's great!!

[@testthewest123]

The more someone is consistent, the bigger the uproar if he slips. So it is understandable that people react that way. The expectations of Carlson are just sky high.

[@KirubanithiKiruba-vo6ih]

Carlson is always playing with his own calculation like Puma because Puma calculation never missed the target. Congratulations to Carlson because his opponent is not just a kid Carlson squeezing his mind and heart ❤️ unmatchable Carlson

[@philipstevenson5166]

Carlsen showing he can play like Bronstein if he wants to. Really impressive.

[@mrmarkstv6585]

This was more like a game of Botvinnik. The exchange sacrifice was very positional it was all about harmony between pieces. Carlsen played like a bulldozer.

[@gdudas]

I believe Carlsen couldn't play his AAA game against Duda and others. Needs to keep saving some prep for Nepo. Defending the title is more important. I could be wrong, though.

[@hamzaprince5754]

yeah of course duda is known to be less prepared than elite GMs magnus could have surprised him in some deep prep but he instead choose to play a normal game where duda is a very good calculator and hard to outplay when he s in form

[@007alexvinodkadavan8]

What a beauty

[@felixsahetapy3706]

Good game by magnus ty for the video sirr

[@alexanderaltgelt7475]

Wasn’t ist better to sacrifice the f3-pawn with f4 (7:00) instead of Ne3?

[@huddunlap3999]

Queen in the cellar?

[@xw6968]

😂bad day at office. I just think its funny that a bunch of smart people respond to the result like its a soccer game. The man lost and maybe will come back. He didn't lose his mind and thats about it, some you win some you lose.

[@PowerPlayChess]

And the mark of a champion is that you bounce back with a win like this.

[@driewiel]

My grandpa couldn't move any pieces either. I called the doctor but too late.

[@brandonjoncas1582]

Wow. Felt bad to see the sorry pieces crammed in the bottom right of the board. Reminded me of how Khabib puts his opponents in a position where they are basically handicapped.

[@milosmilovanovic6664]

Why is Fedoseev FM???

[@XecutionStyle]

who's this carlsen guy he's pretty good

[@landilevanaj3499]

Carlsen is power 💪💪💪💪

[@SwapnilWaichale11]

Why is Fedoseev shown as FM?

[@PowerPlayChess]

Software glitch

[@afifkhaja]

Carlsen is playing like alpha zero, giving up material to constrict the opponent. The exchange sacrifice on f4 was brilliant because after bh6, the white queen is forced to trap itself on the kingside. I did not like a4 from Fedoseev. Instead, he should have castled queenside then accelerated his kingside attack. Great commentary

[@adrianfdmi]

Fedoseev not a FM LOL

[@Wemdiculous]

Id like to see this game analyzed by alpha

[@tasoxsfordb9721]

Fedoseev lost so bad that he is demoted to an FM ;)
