To those who complain about "too many games by Magnus on this channel." Your comments are the same of those who in the 1920s said, "Oh, tired of games by Capablanca; let's look at games by Dr Nithriech Nothingspoohler". This channel is educational. Like everybody was once learning from Capablanca for a good reason, Magnus is Capablanca of our times, and any chess player and admirer of the game can learn MORE by watching and analysing games by Magnus Carlsen, than by anybody else in the chess world at this moment. The talent of Magnus will hardly ever repeat in the next 100 years.

[@JohnSmith-un9jm]

Magnuson is more like Alekhine than capablanca.

@@epicchess2021 That may be the case, but that's not what was emphasized. Bro, for the average person watching- it was like: "Ok.... how is this life-changing exactly? Sorry, where are the double queen sacrifices, or the triple brilliancy? Sorry, did a dark horse rise and match/beat a Magnus winning streak? Did the next child-prodigy make a record-setting performance? Sorry, why again is "everyone" allegedly "in shock"????" Your commentary is sweet because it's rich with flavor and emotional intelligence doesn't take a back seat. We all love that. But we should be wary of letting ourselves be bluntly (or over-simply) emotional, particularly in a digital world where people are fed up with exponentially hyper-sensationalized click-bait titles, like the one you let slip onto our screen prefacing a mundane, completely forgettable typical Magnus game (with less than ideal moves in some cases, nothing like the insane accuracy found in his FIDE world defence vs Ian (notably classical, but regardless- quite memorable)). "Under-promise and over-deliver" I think is the only way forward for this channel full of potential, lol- particularly because if the titles get any more ridiculous it's going to be straight comical, for the wrong reasons. (And I have seen this slow, cringy train coming to this destination for a while) Hope you take this and make things better (more subtle).

I am sure every chessplayer in the world knows the feeling when opponent`s knight is forking your king and rook . It just does not happen very often when you are 2700+ super GM.
