Superbet Rapid & Blitz Poland 2024: Day 5 |

Yasser is undoubtedly not only the most professional commentator but the most fun one to listen to.

MAGNUS IS JUST A BEAST!!

[@renishisrael9520]

This is mental 🔥🔥. Magnus wins 10 blitz games in a row over the board against top youngsters

[@billj4525]

Problem is they're too young. They have a while to go before they're at their best, and get a bit more experience, amazing young stars for sure. Magnus is an absolute beast though, it's scary. Magnus is the best player by far right now. It will likely be a while before he has a definite successor to him.

[@derekho6412]

Magnus will always be at the top till he retires. and even then nobody comes close. he's right there as the GOAT

[@elimlinrr6898]

Wei Yi came close. He scored 25.5 vs Magnus 26.0. And Wei Yi is only 24. In a few more years, who knows ?

[@AdiStarcPvP]

as always, grateful to live in the magnus era and able to witness his mastery/sorcery in the present. congrats goat ♥

[@pablog8670]

Gukesh played well, but I am impressed by magnus

[@lightofscorpio9396]

10 games in a row should just be called the Magnus.

[@schess75]

Also congratulations to Wei Yi! Outstanding performance!

[@myopenmind527]

Jovanka Houska is a breath of fresh air. She really understands these position and is so knowledgeable. One of my fav commentators.

[@ChessJourneyman]

She fits in great because she understands her role and limitations. But she can't even differentiate Pirc from KID (when Black had a knight on c6 and Yasser correctly called it an odd reverse Pirc for White).

His competitive spirit is one of the things that separates him. How often have see seen him come from behind like this? You expect it now.

[@sagars6053]

Always magnus strikes at the end...😂

[@jakublewantowicz8098]

You should definitely put the bar next to the small digital board when players are on the main screen. It helps the average viewer to understand what's happening on the board and increases intensity of emotions.

[@hiffets1]

Magnus will win it all. He’s just too good. There is nothing the rest can do..we can just watch him win 🤷🏽‍♀️ Gukesh coming last is worrying- remember Ding won the WCs during tiebreaks …Ding was strong in that format too but Gukesh is very weak in Rapid and Blitz. So in case the WCs this year go to tiebreaks then it’s going to be a tough one for Gukesh

[@tomeetomee4913]

im not a chess player , i know the moves but the commentary was enjoyable , i was able to follow along somewhat and really enjoyed the excitement they displayed with some of the moves. tom

[@GiorgiosYoriadis]

Not having even a chance to see fight for the 3rd place, where Polish Duda played - in Warsaw the host city(!!), while Wei Yi had zero chance after Carlsen's draw - is to me totally disrespectful and shame. They just indicate the fact, but I if it was US player from for example Armenia, they'd show most probably the hole game. 3rd place means nothing it seems.

[@yggdrasil9039]

Rrr! Unwatchable coverage of rapid chess as usual. You said you were going to 'focus on' games! To me that means literally sticking to a decent camera position of the board and clocks and following the game in its entirety. Great view of the board of Gukesh v Yi up until 12:02, but after that I switched off. Can you NOT switch screens for your analysis, just put insets in the corners if you want to do hypothetical lines / analysis etc? It's really important in rapid and blitz to keep the camera focus on the board continuously, because time is such a central element. Because when we return to the physical board at 20:10 it's changed out of all recognition, and the action is missed. Can you imagine panning away in the middle of a tennis match for 8 minutes while commentators discuss and hypothesise? And when do you ever see the commentators faces during a tennis match? Never. Please do better in the next tournament.
