111 games without a loss.... Simply incredible at today's level of competition.

World Champion Carlsen started the ________ tournament (in the year ________) with a weak performance. Things weren't quite clicking for him, didn't get the positions he wanted. But he always gives everything, and finishing strong he ended up winning the tournament.

[@alexpelo7911]

Apart from the superb analysis, I always appreciate the effort you make in pronouncing the players names correctly! Especially Russian names often botched by commentators

[@roodborstkalf9664]

For an English speaker the pronounciation of van Foreest is excellent.

[@ecosse1982]

obviously you missed his video on Ian Nepomniachtchi

[@zemaneldaquinta]

yes, clearly a musician so he gets all the pronounciations right

[@familydinner1]

Thank you so much for doing these videos. I love watching classical chess but do not have time to sit and watch the stream so it is always great to see the match of the day explained so even a novice like myself can understand it.

[@audreykoek5035]

Love your work Daniel! You give BY FAR the best analysis. I am a worse player but love the game and your story is always so easy to follow (even for me). Calm, good voice. Thanks 👍

[@tobylerone007]

The streaks stats are very surprising, especially with Tal and Capa.

I am actual proper shit at chess but that Keep Calm and Caruana merch is pure genius!

It's only a Fried Liver if black goes Nxd5

[@flippert0]

Correct! What we see here is the Polerio variation of the Two Knights defense. Fried Liver is only after 5..Nxd5 6.Nxf7. Mighty old stuff, all this

[@richardsleep2045]

Nice one Daniel, thanks.

[@duaflip]

Hi, Daniel! Great analysis as always. Do you plan on reviewing So vs Firouzja?

[@kailigao4969]

9:30 The sexualization of knights in chess is an issue as old as the game itself.

[@siremaiponpe]

Love that comment. Caught me off guard, I rarely laugh out loud

[@bmandry6551]

I don’t get it :(

[@adamrubinson6875]

According to wikipedia, The Fried Liver Attack is only after 5...Nxd5 6. Nxf7 Kxf7

[@femioyekan8184]

Yes, with 5...Nxd5?! I think generally being regarded as an inferior move.

Hello GM King, Magnus is featured in today's The Times concerning this new record. I've recommended this channel in the comments to that article.

[@PowerPlayChess]

Thank you!

[@terrak7609]

Cool move g4 ! Thx for the explanations.

[@synchronium24]

definitely

[@Meddimehell]

I am very impressed by Carlsen. Even with the record on line, and in a pressed position he goes for the sharp move that can cost him the match or give him a possibility of winning the match. Would be really interesting if Van Foreest had the guts to sacrifice after Carlsens bishop a3. No doubt that Van Foreest would be in a great position then, but Carlsen would definitely also have counterplay. 111 games unbeaten.. Incredible.

[@AnlamK]

Yes!!! A Van Foreest game!!!

[@skakdosmer]

I think, technically speaking, this isn't quite the fried liver attack. Unless I'm mistaken that term is reserved for the variation with 5..Nxd5? 6.Nxf7. An interesting variation, but (even though I love to eat fried liver!) I think this is survivable for black, unlike 6.d4! often followed by Nxf7.

[@nicserbo2689]

when we say oh those are from rome and it's real time like bill myer they say that is a roman street guy

[@-_Nuke_-]

This proves why the Knight's attack is a good move in this line (tho very tough both to face and play). And also this proves that the Giuoco Piano is so much more superior from the 2 Knights in this variation. Bc5 would have guaranteed Magnus the Win here.

[@mattimicusshufflizecki10]

In the Bd3 line, why is black not playing Nf4? For example after Nc3

[@CHESSTOUR]

Bravo!!!!

[@peter_nortje]

Wesley should maintain the Divine Myth not only when he wins, but also when he loses. It is amazing how a mind so bright, reverts to primitive belief in Divine intervention..!

[@ThinkingSk3ptically]

Daniel, if you're gonna cite a tweet or what-not. Put it on the screen. ;-)

[@peterh.1521]

Magnus took the world record of longest unbeaten streak in classical chess at elite level (111 games). The average Elo-rating for Carlsen 's opponents is incredibly 2737 (during the 111 games) . Some background info also. Sergei Tiviakov and Bogdan Lalic both claim to have played 110 games without a loss. And just to get some perspective, the average Elo-rating of Tiviakov 's opponents is 2442 (during the 110 games). But, as mentioned before, they both are now surpassed by Magnus. It is a very impressive feat by Magnus!

[@cruelpirate78]

In the variation where black goes cxd3... white recaptures with cd Rfc8 30. Rc4 - can black not get the upper hand with Bf7?

[@eliasb8]

I had to endure 8 ads in order to watch this 19 min video. Greed can be so unappealing.

[@synchronium24]

13:30 Re2 seems to hold everything together for white, though allowing black to exchange rooks might make the game drawish.

[@familydinner1]

Ouch to the 2 players out of 111 that Carlsen doesn’t count as part of the record! That would be like Man City saying “we would like to discount the 6 points we earned against Huddersfield in the Premier League last season”

[@JPCPSeto]

No recap of Firouzja's loss? Bummer.

[@-_Nuke_-]

8:27 "hoping that with the 2 bishops he could find compensation for his pawn" Thing is that it's not just a pawn that Magnus is missing. Carlsen's position also suffers because of the knight on a5 and the terrible pawn structure. I really don't believe there is any good into the 2 knights defence after White goes for Ng5 - the Knight's attack. I mean, Magnus could have won against this guy easily by playing any other opening... I think that Bd7 should be studied in this position instead of c6 Like this 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Na5 6. Bb5+ Bd7 7. Qe2 Be7 8. Nf3 Nxd5 9. Nxe5 c6 10. Bd3 Nf4 11. Qf3 Nxd3+ 12. Qxd3 Be6 13. Qxd8+ Rxd8 14. d3 Bf6 15. f4 c5 But I'm not sure where that can get you... At the end the 2 Knights are not good exactly because of Ng5.

[@henkoosterink8744]

Just wait for Machteld van Foreest.

[@evgiz0r]

Capa streak only 60? What a patzer, should have learned more theory.

[@kajaskov6270]

But Capa only lost 36 games and most of them when he got older!!

[@spindriftdrinker]

4.Ng5 isn't the Fried Liver Attack.

[@rxw5520]

Yeah I think fried liver is when black recaptures the d5 rather than running the knight away to a5, and white sacs the knight on f7 then king takes f7

[@chrisiver8506]

yeah but you might as well call it that since no GM has taken on d5 since the 1800s lol

[@spindriftdrinker]

@@rxw5520 That's correct.

[@spindriftdrinker]

@@chrisiver8506 Huh ? 4.Ng5 is merely one of several standard, normal white replies to the Two Knights Defense. This is like if somebody played1.d4 and you called out "Aha ! the Blackmar Diemer Gambit !"

[@chrisiver8506]

@@spindriftdrinker Everyone knows the fried liver, no one knows what Ng5 is called if it even has a name. Just call it the fried liver attack its better that way. And if people played the blackmar diemer gambit 90+% of the time after d4 then yeah you might as well just call it the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit from move one your point is stupid.

[@exponentmantissa5598]

I often get the position after whites Be2 and have played this line for a couple of years and have had good success with it. That said if white fumbles on the kside it can be over quickly in blacks favor.

[@ivanstanisavljevic8245]

Magnus had 2 games against fide master is that why he does not consider this to be a record yet?

[@kajaskov6270]

So it seems!

[@someperson9052]

If he does then that's a stupid reason. The average rating of the opponents of the guy who previously held the record was ~2400

[@mzrb1]

Is Msgnus about to Nova ?

[@A.mostafavi]

👍

[@sanekabc]

111 games without defeat means nothing to your viewers unless you compare it to previous records. You did mention it is the longest streak in history but was the previous record 110 or 90 or what? And who held previous records?

[@mooneulogy8717]

Did you not watch til the end?

[@PowerPlayChess]

Please look at the entire video before you post a comment like that. 17.30. Sometimes I despair.

[@sanekabc]

@@PowerPlayChess My apologies. It was said quickly with a name which was unrecognizable to an English speaker that I even missed that a name was said and just thought the number was related to previous numbers appraisals by Magnus. i wonder how it compares to previous worldchampions. The record is a big deal but only if it is really put in perspective.

[@thephilosopherofculture4559]

Foreest was a coward.

[@proflaxis6968]

Is 4.Ng5 not known as The Polerio System? Definitely not a Fegatello yet. Maybe a rare oopsy from GM King. You are forgiven.

[@Uerdue]

Finally, they got bored of that stupid Giuoco Piano... Nice to see!
