[@marcantoniosavelli1710]

Great job as usual! I would have also analized 7.Ne5, which appears to me as the most critical answer to Carlen's novelty 6....b5.

[@irradiatedbadger]

this guy is really the king of online chess coverage

[@arnieus866]

The drunken king charges into the fray shouting "the king is a powerful piece."

[@HeuristicalWorker]

Carlsen blasted Meier off the board. Love your work, Daniel! Much appreciated. You are the best. Thank you!

[@lucianotaborda8859]

Allways the best chess comentaries. Thanks!

[@rbnn]

Final mate (59...Nb3#) is a pure mate. Each square in King’s field is attacked once.

[@dheurung]

No.

[@jasondoe2596]

Oh, nicely spotted! Very beautiful.

[@jasondoe2596]

David Heurung, why "no" ?

[@89Madridista]

In the zugzwang position, probably the best solution would be just sac the queen for the two minor pieces and try to make a fortress, which i think would make Carlsen still working hard, and having in mind that he was tired... who knows

[@danieluroz8659]

I remember watching this game live and thinking "I can't wait for Daniel to to analize this game because I don't understand anything I'm seeing". The final bit of the game, specially after 41.... Bxb4. was indecipherable. And like always, you deliver nicely.

[@oliverangermuller9827]

Great video of a strange game. I find e3 very ugly. It is surprising that a strong GM makes such a weakening move. On the other hand normally Carlsen would win such a position without many problems. But he let Meier nearly of the hook. Until Meiers king started his suicide run.

[@pawn4129]

Magnus is Rollin', Rollin', Rollin' ... ♫

[@456death654]

0 dislikes. Fucking good shit

[@happyhornet1000]

I would have loved to see Carlsen's face when Kf3 was played, his eyes must have popped out of his head! Bizarre stuff. Beginner chess!

[@sleepy314]

Meier blundered at the end when he took the pawn, and Carlson said he was relieved because his own play in the last half was ‘a mess’ and he was expecting another draw.

[@sporadicdrive5884]

Yeah, Carlsen has had the advantage in his games but since he isn't Stockfish, he misses the winning moves in the endgame

[@uberhikari]

Georg Meier was going to dislike this video, and then said nevermind.

[@rabranch32]

The name is King. Daniel King.

[@marcmech1]

Could you analyze the Meier vs Anand game

[@brandonjoncas1582]

1:40 knight e5 wins because it hits the rook no?

[@kojiattwood]

Carlsen really seems to be morphing (heh) into Fischer as he gets older.

[@kojiattwood]

Perhaps.

[@bhaveshkahaneable]

@One Love +1

[@kojiattwood]

"You could say that both Fischer and Carlsen had or have the ability to let chess look simple." Anand

[@zaksmith1035]

I love how you're a fanboy of Carlsen; it's subtle, but it shows. Don't worry, I am too sir!!!!

[@arnieus866]

Who isn't in awe of Magnus's gift.

[@johnkom2339]

Maybe chalk up another half point for Carlsen from the 'psych-out' factor, more than from his brilliance. Instead, if Meier had shown the nerve of Anand, he might have held on for the draw. I expected King would analyze Black's cheeky 6...b5, and why White didn't go for 7 Ne5? We can see that it will result in BLack gaining 2 minor pieces for a Rook but the variations are far from decisive!

[@robertsamuels2141]

Always nice to see a move like ...Qa8 turning a game. Would be good to have your analysis of the Reti classics that feature this manoeuvre -- and Alphazero's rediscovery of it!

[@Ulujmf]

Carlsen is just above everyone nobody can get him

[@gaz1967]

Great analysis as usual.

[@maxschmidt666]

Hey Mr. King. Can you please spell the word "Zugzwang" with a long "u"? Just like the "o" in "move " or "moving"? Keep up with the great work and greetings from Germany!

[@AlonsoRules]

Those queen and knight endgames are the hallmark of chess engines. They love 'em. Kasparov got into trouble with Pentium Genius way back in the 90's with queen and knight.

[@strong8705]

At 14:30 if Qb3:b4 black promotes and attacks that queen. But Q can escape with check (Qb4-b8+). BUT queen number 3 escapes too (Qd1-d8).

[@RD-un5bh]

At 19:41 after 63. ...Ke3 64. Bd4+ Qd4 65. Nc2+ is faster instead of winning just a piece. Nice video as always, ty sir!

[@MrSamiGigi]

Thank you for this Royal coverage, King!

[@nicolotiraboschi]

I'd like to see how to win that endgame actually.

[@johannesb9681]

Well done Daniel as usual:)

[@flamingxombie]

Carlsen is producing masterpiece after masterpiece these days. Extremely instructive how he manages to create an advantage in the early middle game. I would almost certainly go wrong in positions like these with the tricky white knight on b5 threatening all sorts of things.

[@dickmacgurn590]

So many fun combos and the GOAT finds just enough to win as usual!

[@kenspencer9895]

Well, an ugly win is still a win. :)

[@luckbox360]

Why do they need rest days in chess? The pieces are not that heavy!

[@darylvillanuevajr.9485]

The pieces are too light for the hands that it felt heavy for the head.

[@arnieus866]

Extended concentration at GM level is exhausting. Even at club level the 5-round tornado weekend tournaments are extremely tiring. I think mental stamina is one of Magnus's best advantages.

[@arash9878]

Mr king we all appreciate the work you do. But too many Carlsen games is just repetitive. Please look at Aronian, Anand, Svidler etc. games too. Thank you

[@PowerPlayChess]

As soon as someone else starts winning tournaments, I'll do that.

[@arash9878]

@@PowerPlayChess Then you'd better said I'll wait until Carlsen quits chess... Every time I visit your channel there is a video on Carlsen game. But we still appreciate what you do for chess

[@PowerPlayChess]

@@arash9878 It is not a given that Carlsen wins all the tournaments he plays. He is enjoying a great run of victories at the moment, but I'd like to remind you that last year was a little different. Do check out my coverage of Biel 2018, for example - you'll find it in the playlists.

[@stduserid]

@Arash…. look at the numbers... MC videos have so much more views than other players. Look on other channels. What would you do if you want to make some money? MC games naturally attract 2-3 more views than any other player.

[@jasondoe2596]

Arash, if there's a video on a Carlsen game "every time you visit" this channel, you probably don't visit it all that often... I think GM King does a great job selecting which games to showcase, and he usually goes for pure chess beauty, unless the result directly influences the tournament results.
