Double octopuses😄. Excellent lesson by Magnus.

[@cathya44]

There are levels to this and no one is in Carlsen's level, the mark of a very strong positional player is knowing what to do when there is nothing to be done, great game, great analysis. Thank you !

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

It has been a thrilling World Cup great to see Pragg doing so well, but seeing Carlsen complete his CV with the World Cup was so good. This game was a fine example of slow manoeuvres to improve little by little to turn up the heat and strike when time is short. Thanks Daniel.

[@PommesMitMayo]

This was such a typical Carlsen endgame. The big mistake was probably as you mentioned the rook trade on f6. The engine says its still equal after that but Carlsen managed to create a position where he has all the easy plans like bringing the King to e7, activating his rook via h8, finding better places for his knights like f4. Compare that to Praggs position. The d file is useless, the bishop passive and after the move b4 to try to find some activity there is nothing left. What are you supposed to do as white? Even when the engine evaluation says 0.0 I would argue that if Carlsen had this position 10 times on the board he would at least win 8 times, especially with faster time control as white really has to go into the think tank to come up with anything to stop black's easy play.

[@robertmacias7920]

Nothing worse than going into an even Steven ending with Magnus, the game goes from subtle, to dangerous to hopeless before you know it.

[@advandepol7537]

At 4:55 it deserved some more explanation why the pressure on f6 is necessary in order to play d4 imo.

[@landilevanaj3499]

Congratulations champion 🏆. Thank you Daniel for that good analysis !! 👏

[@adampawliczful]

I like this channel as Daniel King's English is truly BBC-style. Always picking up new vocabulary. From this video: 'trifle', 'set things in train' and 'indictive'. Thank you!

[@PowerPlayChess]

Thanks for your comment. Glad it’s useful for your vocabulary! By the way, the word is ‘indicative’.

[@richardfredlund8846]

when watching this I realised why Pragg tried Nc6+ at the end. Small 'trap' there if white went to e6 or f7 with the king. Then Ra2 Rxa2 and Bb3+ escapes.

[@MickThal]

Super video again. I have learned a lot from your videos. Has KZbin sent you the Silver Play Button ? That was a great World Cup. At the peak more than 200 K live viewers on chess24 KZbin and 27 K on Twitch watched the tiebreak Magnus vs. Praggnanandhaa.

[@robinesperoza]

Great game, great tournament, great videos.

[@melzz]

People should know by now, that you should never ever enter endgame with Magnus on equal positions, because it’s just an illusion.

[@magnusea]

Best possible comments, as usual!

[@weho_brian]

5:25 what about g4 ?

[@RangeWilson]

Wow, Pragg fell apart at the end of the game. It was almost a helpmate. "Here, let me open up the Kingside, then move all of my pieces to the Queenside! Come get my King, if you dare!" Carlsen, of course, was happy to accept the challenge.

[@blackbird4446]

So happy that Pragg will be in the Candidates tournament. Excited to see how he will fare.

[@tejas4039]

World team rapid starting today! Would love to see some games from it here if possible.

[@tejas4039]

That’s another plus of subscribing to this channel- even if you miss out on interviews and other (outside game) chess news, the King has got it covered for you (Ref to Carlsen WC). Hoping to see Gukesh qualify for candidates, he is leading currently as Caruana has already qualified. Also, Carlsen put Gukesh at #1 spot in classical. Just thinking if Vidit had won QFs- possibility of 3/8 Indians in candidates! Rooting for Gukesh and Pragg 🙏🏼

[@weho_brian]

Congrats to Magnus and Pragg, future world champion

[@winfredj9820]

no way

[@DG-ss2zd]

Great game and coverage thanks

[@vicentevazquez3917]

After g4, Magnus being Magnus. I think Prag is world champion material.

[@irradiatedbadger]

This one really belonged to Magnus imo, I would have been happy if Pragg won but he still has a long chess future ahead of him. Who knows how much longer Magnus will be playing classical tournaments.

[@kaynthomas7357]

Thank you daniel

[@RoyGazoff]

It's just that Magnus is a beast and claims everything he wants

[@osgubben]

Hikaru showed that Magnus blundered after Nh5. But Pragg missed the almost deadly d4 later. Naka was surprised by this, and comps confirm. Even Magnus needs some luck to win such a tourney. Ask Keymer.

[@WHAT-gm1xm]

Hey brother 👋 I am stuck in 1300 elo how to improve and increase rating i practice daily but stuck in same rating

[@pranishshakya5325]

At 5:19 why was this f5 pawn to f6 not played Can any1 explain

[@alexdommnich2544]

Attacked three times, defended two times.

[@AlonsoRules]

Even in rapid, Carlsen is an endgame maestro

[@GarySlegg]

Now you have reached 100k subscribers will we get to hear you play the guitar!?

[@AFrenchman31]

It's so sad that the greatest player in the world, perhaps the greatest player that has ever lived, is refusing to play for the World Championship.

[@brigada050]

This was actually played pretty badly by Prag

[@davidjames5517]

I suspect he might have beaten me.

[@carlosfcruz-rr9hp]

You tell me if you agree..pragg played carlsen s game.

[@LateCloser]

Not Pragg's finest, unfortunately. I think Magnus won this one on reputation, per say. Maybe his opponent saw ghosts, giving him too much credit. Long tourney though, fine effort overall. I hate to think it, much less say it, but the game might be better without Magnus. The results would be more interesting. The last WC match was kind of an example of that. Magnus probably isn't leaving right away, I'm just preparing for the inevitable. No one seems to be able to elevate to his level, so we must wait for the king to abdicate his thrown; which he technically already has.

[@larsyxa]

MC only none win. And he got it. MC did not actually play well(according to MC standards) until last 5 min of Rapid Tiebreak 1, He pulled of 5-6 engine moves almost in a row during its last 3m. And Pragg got greedy he could have drawn it.

[@nocternbemsi5619]

Quite cynical play by Carlsen in game 2. It's VERY hard to play vs a Carlsen who wants to close the game down.

[@Scaw]

I should have thought a better adjective to use was "sensible". Cynical?

[@nocternbemsi5619]

Chess is dead. Its too perfect now
