MAGNUS v. FABIANO! Who Wins Without Opening Prep? Freestyle Chess Game 1

[@eedle.bendhaardt]

Do you guys realize we're trying to focus on a 2cm squared area of screen for the live board on mobile?? Then we get a shot of Danny's back and an interview with someone who doesn't play chess while the game finishes and the much awaited analysis begins?? You have all the elements in place for a stellar broadcast and yet you guys just cannot stop blundering. Ffs

[@jrcash7546]

You cut to an interview with Magnus's girlfriend in the final seconds of this game!?!? And then we miss the final move for that? That is like switching the channel before the tie breaking goal in an overtime game. What the hell were the commentators thinking???? Just look at the bloody comments in the live chat of people asking to see the game! You know, the thing we actually came to watch?

[@coleabrahams9331]

Magnus’ accuracy is crazzyy

[@Yiannis-St]

Ashley is being ridiculously condescending and combative for a second day in a row. He did the same at the St Louis Chess Club with Magnus. He's ruining the whole broadcast and event.

[@patrickdanguilan5669]

Magnus is always calm😮 even the crucial game

[@Faustus7777]

why do we constantly watch their predictions in tournaments more than the game, we want to see the tournament board in the center and their predictions on a smaller board

[@diamondsrubies9423]

for most of the game the real board is completely static why would that be entertaining at all

[@jonaskarlsson5901]

did you smoke too much?

[@edenjs1503]

The analysis really helps. I'm not a great player, but love to watch and without the predictions and reasoning I would be lost.

[@Faustus7777]

@edenjs1503 I'm not saying they're bad, but they should be on the small screen instead of the big screen because we're watching their opinions more than the game itself

[@xatnu]

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion, and mine is that engaging commentary makes the game much easier to follow so I'm okay with seeing their opinions. I hope they don't change!

[@zoromarak8039]

Magnus accuracy is insane by chees 960 standards

[@BottleOfCoke]

Yeah lets cut to a interview with his hot girlfriend and miss the final moves of the game. Super anticlimactic.

[@LendArt_Photography]

I’m really looking back to chess24 times when commentary was done by Swidler, Gustaffson, Leko … and not by hyperventilating speed talkers

[@pureeschaap]

Absolutely... I do agree.

[@areezmody6916]

These are some of the best commentators. Be grateful and respectful for what they are doing. Rather than being critical.

[@JSSTyger]

1:17:25 "He wants to fix the fluidity of the pawn mass..." LOL seriously, Maurice??

[@BottleOfCoke]

What happened to low energy chess commentary?

[@jonaskarlsson5901]

Magnus is doing what Bobby Fisher couldn't

[@capshurd]

I can’t tell if Tania and Maurice really like each other, or really DO NOT like each other 😂 They’re bickering like a married couple.

[@NoelSelastin]

G5 is such an alien move

[@redneckrevolt1]

Imagine talking about the moves of the game rather than the lower ranked players thoughts on the moves they wanted 😂 I want computer moves or Magnus moves.

[@nano61]

Tania doesn’t eye contact with Maurice when he talks

[@JSSTyger]

Maurice tends to not make sense.

[@miguelangelclaudio6848]

Maurice don’t talk to my girl like that. 1:32:00

[@coleabrahams9331]

😂😂😂

[@razen4758]

both are f ed up.. i dont like any of them,.

[@davidhurst8057]

2:15:10 >>> is Magnus allowed headphones ? someone could be telling him cheat info ... maybe Niemann on the line ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@perpetualbystander4516]

They're provided by the organizers, so no cheating is possible.

[@razen4758]

this guy is smoked..

[@vvBoost]

Magnus the assassin

[@user_ppy75342]

Hello

[@brixward2629]

Commentators are so great especially Tania!

[@BottleOfCoke]

cope

[@chriskeith5742]

Too bad Tania is doing commentary, I really wanted to watch this.

[@aum0aumgood]

I pray everyone appreciates MagnusCarlsen upping the ChessGame level which inspires others Merely by him playing AI improved AI but real life is never a program AI can be as a Tic-tac-toe boredom I pray many forms of game always become increased with worthy rewards. Healthy minds are essential.

[@thomasina1041]

These people are soooo off putting. The woman’s screechy voice and the guy’s inane comments just destroy what would be a super thing to watch.please get rid of BOTH of them

[@bingeable_ca]

Woo!

[@qusigh]

Holly the ultimate trophy wife with the typical sugar daddy of a husband

[@reeeer8438]

Jealous?

[@So.pxkdodj]

ماجنوس تلعب بوبجي

[@Faustus7777]

very bad stream at the most important moment, you prevented us from seeing the end, the voice of this women is very unpleasant to listen to
