Daniel King you are a very good presenter of chess. I've been subbed for years, and remain a loyal viewer. Even if I watch a Carlsen game on another YT channel, I'll come back to hear your analysis and take on it, which I find valuable and entertaining. What separates you from the other YT chess analysis channels is the fact you can talk about your own experience! I LOVE this! Keep up the amazing work!

[@PowerPlayChess]

Thank you!

[@kotoamatsukami_5832]

Thats so true. I also come back and watch DK analysis even after i saw another analysis before 😂

[@Yornek1]

@@PowerPlayChess hey Daniel you should take us through some of your games once or twice

[@PowerPlayChess]

@@Yornek1 Well I do now and again!

After watching this video i went to my kitchen, suddenly i realised i forgot to like it. I came back and gave the thumbs up. Best chess channel on youtube

The British are sometimes blessed with the absolute best narration voices (we certainly have the best in Attenborough), but I think it would be interesting to get some scallies involved in chess commentary! One advantage of a British commentator is the simplicity and simultaneous clarity with which they are able to express their thoughts in English, which is the primary language of chess commentary at this point. It's a subtle point but nonetheless a significant one. I do love Daniel, great to see him make a comeback 20 years after his fame in the chess world died down.

[@parlabaneisback]

Etienne is the only player than can deliver a Bacrot mate wherever his opponent's King is.

A fantastic queens sac and top quality analysis as ever. Thanks Daniel and keep up the good work.

[@sebszab76]

Very bold sacrifice by Carlsen. I liked Giri's commentary when he explained that the engine evaluation isn't worth much as white needs to find several unique moves to survive. It's amazing to see how Carlsen sometimes calculates precisely until some point and let being led by his intuition other times. Great analysis! Aren't you going to do commentary in this World Cup, Danny?

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

that's why I love it when people watch games and pass comments based on a number analysis of a position rather than actually looking at the position itself

[@PowerPlayChess]

I am busy with other projects so no chance to commentate live. I will be joining Tanya Sachdev again for live commentary on Chess24 of the latest Champions Chess Tour online tournament 31st July - 8th August.

[@RangeWilson]

Tough to know what Bacrot was thinking when he played f4... it's so positionally disastrous that he must have felt there was tactical justification, but if so, he certainly didn't demonstrate it.

[@ig2d]

at 13:47 Daniel Naroditsky and Ben Finegold pointed out the beautiful computer line (after Bc8 Qg2) Rd8! bc3 Rd1+ Ke2 Bg4+ Ke3 Rd3+ Ke4 Bf3+ Qf3 f5+

[@PowerPlayChess]

Yup, that’s a nice tactic and very understandable that he didn’t spot it - he didn’t have much time left.

[@Forest_Knight]

wow that's very neat

Thanks for keeping us up to date, Daniel. Geat video, great analysis. Looking forward for more videos of the world cup

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

As soon as you predicted a Carlsen-Karjakin final yesterday I was tempted to put money on Shankland winning today! Haha. This World Cup has been the best classical event I've followed in a good few years. Surprises at every corner. Incredible drama. And this was another great win from the World Champion!

[@PowerPlayChess]

Yes, the commentator's curse strikes again! Big game for Sam today - Black against Karjakin - can he hold out?

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

@@PowerPlayChess just because of the form Sam's in (including his previous OTB tournament) I'm going to predict yes he holds as black... and now I've done so thats probably great news for Sergey!

[@MrHealthIsWealth]

Wow! Great upload! Amazing game.

[@PowerPlayChess]

Thank you!

[@jozecudeen78]

Seems like the bishops are really dominating this tournament. I think white's bishop on a2 went to visit the Queen in Siberia this game. It is also absolutely beautiful how computer quickly picks up those tactics and just decides to go and dominate that misplaced bishop on a2, really reminds me on Karpov's playstyle or something AlphaZero manages to do so easily.

[@johnryder557]

Bloody good game mate thanks for posting

[@PowerPlayChess]

Thanks!

[@pawnoir]

Merci Maître, encore une fois c'est un plaisir de suivre l'une de vos vidéos 👍

[@PowerPlayChess]

Merci, monsieur! Je suis désolé qu'Etienne a perdu :( J'espere c'est different demain... courage!

[@Evilanious]

Both this game and the Shankland Karjakin game where great. What a bishop pair. And what a frustratingly bad spanish bishop. In the other game I was amazed by Shankland's calculation. He said he saw that king and pawn endgame before he took the knight with his bishop. The commentators where still trying to figure it out when he played knight c7 and they had an engine.

[@nickjackson6962]

I would love to hear your analysis of your game that you won in this line with Bd2

[@Nik252]

As instructive games go this ones gotta be up there..... so so clinical ;)

[@sam99foster]

At 13.48 black has a nice winning move that Carlsen missed in time trouble - Rd8, with the idea: 36. bxc3 Rd1+ 37. Ke2 Bg4+ 38. Ke3 Rd3+ 39. Ke4 Bf3+ 40. Qxf3 f5+ forcing the king away and winning the queen

[@kenyaargentinaochoa4858]

I really enjoyed the analysis.

Great game, great analysis!

[@RP-dy5mu]

Maybe he's playing main lines because he doesn't want to reveal whatever he has planned for the main tournament? It could simply be a way of not trying to reveal secrets for the main tournament you mentioned.

[@andrewhaldenby4949]

Thank you DK!

[@yixu12951]

Great comment! Wonderful

[@peterstubbs2495]

On the subject of the Anti-Marshall, 8. a4, Daniil Dubov (of course) played the Marshall anyway in Bjerre v. Dubov, 0-1, Batumi 2019! Simon Williams analyzes in Chess Base Magazine 193.

[@PowerPlayChess]

I analysed the game on this channel! A great idea fom Dubov, good enough for one game, but not 100% sound: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZyse4KdbJ5moK8

[@ChessHoodie]

I sacrificed a queen yesterday, too! There was a forcing sequence of moves after it, as well. The only difference is that my opponent was not a top GM (albeit it was a decent player)😎

[@PowerPlayChess]

I would hardly describe what happened in this game after the queen sacrifice as a forcing sequence of moves. This was simply superb judgment from Carlsen to appreciate that the position was difficult for White to hold.

[@thomaskember4628]

It would have been interesting to see whether Carlsen would have played the Marshall.

[@kristiannenadic9938]

This was an awesome game really !!

[@AdamFahmi9908]

As you said GM King, when Magnus goes for the main lines and the so-called "proper openings" it's always scary for the opposition, I've noticed that quite some time ago. I believe he just clocked he never won the World Cup and he is probably upset about it hahaha

[@PowerPlayChess]

Yes, I'm getting vibes that he is very determined here.

Who win??

[@MrBennyC178]

The queen can move horizontally vertically and diagonally

[@allykid4720]

No, only horizontally, due to the gravity.

[@brandonjoncas1582]

how there are main lines 10 moves in where there are million+ variations i do not know

[@PowerPlayChess]

Lines go in and out of fashion and for some periods there are 'main lines' - then there is a discovery and everyone switches!

[@afifkhaja]

g3-f4 looks horrible for white with black's bishops on the diagonals

[@amosdraak3536]

🤒🙁

[@amosdraak3536]

I’m personally more likely to view if it doesn’t advertise queen sacrifice in the title. It feels so over used and it’s not like chess is only good because of an attack or queen sacrifice. 😐☹️

[@awesmax8010]

its a pity only advanced level chess players can enjoy this type of commentary. no wonder u got less views

[@ChessHoodie]

Well, those in the know are always in the minority. The masses will always follow those who cater to them... On the other hand, you are absolutely correct

[@johanheyvaert]

I don't think this is true? Daniel's explanation is crystal clear. I'm not an advanced player anyway (in fact I don't play at all!) and I enjoy every video!
