The moderation, commentary, and presentation were top-notch in this broadcast. You assembled a great team for this match, SLCC. Thank you for not making every move an overdramatized superlative. ;-)

[@yggdrasil9039]

Commentary is OK but the format of the presentation is rubbish.

[@yanair2091]

Yes, they are great but the organisation is terrible. They should really synchronise the comments and the tables. Also sometimes they want to show everything and it's not easy to follow

[@dejanbudimir5097]

Great show! Looking forward to tomorrow. The tone, the pacing, everything is so delicate and pleasant. Thank you for this!

[@Xinvoker]

Beautiful game by Wei Yi: 3:50:28

There's no wei Magnus catches up tomorrow.

Well played.

2.5 points is a good lead but never write off Magnus..

Good day! Warm greetings from the city of Santa Monica, CA, USA! Let’s go Praggnanandhaa!

[@trevormuchenje1553]

Look at Yasser with the ladies😊

[@nandangsuharna6202]

Superb covering by Saint Louis Chess Club. I enjoyed it very much

[@lesilluminations1]

I know there isn't enough time to show the highlights slowly but the blinding speed of these highlight reviews is just ridiculous.

[@yggdrasil9039]

Isn't enough time? There's 10 hour videos of vacuum cleaner sounds on KZbin. I basically agree, I'd prefer every game was covered in its entirety, and a recording of the physical board was shown in its entirety. That should be King in rapid and blitz.

[@yggdrasil9039]

I wonder in which decade rapid and blitz chess will be presented properly, and the game given its due respect it deserves

[@yanair2091]

2:21:15 Qh6+ by Giri is such a stinker. I can't believe even Yasser thought it was good.

[@billj4525]

What is going on with Wei Yei? I don't think I have ever seen play this well for this long. Just destroying all his opponents. I guess he's been working hard on his game. I always knew he had a lot of talent, to say the least. Hopefully it continues after this tournament.

[@yanyeetan1727]

He was focusing on his university studies at Tsinghua University, China's top university, over the last few years. He graduates this year, so hopefully we will see more of him in Chess.

[@eufrosniad994]

Gukesh showing that he has what it takes to be World Champ 😊

[@davidkimura3034]

King Magnus!

[@Philiopantheon82]

Speed format ain't Gukesh's cup of tea but i am happy he is not afraid to participate in these events regardless of the result.

[@michaeldennis2335]

I don’t understand removing the eval bar during the scrambles.

[@adriano3oliveira]

I only have one question now: where is the meme (GIF) of Carlsen's jump xD

[@beginningless]

Good idea to focus on one game at a time

Magnus has been fighting to catch up Wei Yi for sometime. I believe Magnus will catch up to Wei Yi and overtake him. Magnus will win the tournament.

[@aml7758]

Garry is amazing

[@saadiiy27]

Nodirbek 🔥🔥🔥

If Anish can avoid finishing last, it would be a great achievement for him.

People in these comments need to grow up and not fight over chess players 😭💀 y’all so mad at each other th

[@ClarkPotter]

I think the assumption is that ppl are just freely sharing their thoughts and opinions and not taking it as seriously as their words might seem to the sensitive. I'm probably wrong, but we're better than sports fans, aren't we? Probably not, but I'd like to think so. Thx to the internet, we can just enjoy some hyperbole instead of being prim and proper our entire lives 100% of the time.

[@Wargasm54]

[@yogeshbobde9135]

[@Parito2378]

People who have started watching chess in pandemic need to understand first difference between classical/ rapid/ blitz first . People in history who are always remembered are all classical chess world champions. Nobody remeber rapid / blitz champions. So calm your horses down and stop abusing. Even the goat is on no 2 right now. I mean people in comments are so idiot who were saying we yi > magnus . Even we yi will laugh on that. The best and real chess is classical

[@SR-fs2fd]

Magnus messed up. I remember a few instances where he would use Yi as an example to not overhype young prodigies even though Yi took break for school. He's back now after 8 years to take revenge.

[@Philiopantheon82]

Absolutely spot on

[@Diego14SU]

You're right, then Gukesh > Ding Liren > Magnus.

[@billj4525]

@@SR-fs2fd I hope so. He certainly is playing amazing. I guess he's really working on his game more. Maybe he'll be the next big thing and not the ones younger than him. We'll see if it continues after this tournament. One tournament means nothing. I'm a fan of his, so I hope he can be consistent.

too many mistakes, not proper chess. Bring back classical. Magnus needs to retire.
