Jan's joke about Kramnik tweeting about Steinitz's accuracy after the adjournment is the best chess joke I've heard

Also Naroditsky delivered with the cumpolsary "Interesting..." follow-up.

[@DeepPharynx]

Jan and Danya harmonize really well, Danya gets Jan's silly dry humor and quips back its very fun :D

[@martinm3422]

yeah cuz Jan is the leader andy pays the bucks...

[@Venerable_great_love]

Whatt from nowhere magnus came in my city!!

[@twist2shout]

Jan and Danya should to watch Casablanca together. That “would be the beginning of a beautiful friendship”.

[@Amethyst_Friend]

It’s already begun.

[@Stender_]

GO HIKARU

[@steveclark2205]

He is VERRRRRY LOUD😮

[@IshanPandit]

Rooting for u vishy ❤️

[@ericastier1646]

I hope to see Vishy's hand shaking like mad again when he plays against Magnus in an end game with short time left.

[@adreyzen]

This is the best commentator combo. Thank God, no Tanya

[@JohnSmithEx]

I wonder how much the viewership drops when Tania is in the panel. Personally I would prefer to eat rotten tomatoes for dinner than endure the torture of hearing Tania for 4-5 hours.

[@sergioortiz8219]

Jan, you need to upgrade to a professional setup. You sound like you're in an echo chamber.

[@ikkrijgnoggeldvanje]

He is German and Germans like to keep things old-school when it comes to technology

[@makov2299]

wait so the format is that the players are given a particular number/set of moves to play?!

[@aCarl77]

Really Impressive commentary!

[@clarenceyee3529]

Would love to see Radio Jan doing commentary.

[@bima553]

This format is friggin awesome‼️

[@kkakdugiman]

Magnus will win this tournament. I hope he can concentrate well on the next set of positions.

[@markrobertson3054]

People in livechat complaining about everything

[@yzfool6639]

Haters only hate the successful.

[@markrobertson3054]

2:41:00 what a wrong information. Magnus is better than hikaru in 3+0 and in any other blitz Highest ever blitz rating is magnus 2986 Magnus vs hikaru blitz head to head Magnus leads Magnus has 7 blitz titles, hikaru has 0 titles. Scc magnus leads hilaru when they played each other, 3-1 Making this as rivalry is very naive by Danya.

[@markrobertson3054]

My goatt

[@seinundzeiten]

I love this. nostalgic format

Lol

[@morning_star8230]

The waiting period between games is frustrating, the viewer loses interest over that time Totally Unnecessary.......

[@FriedrichLeopoldvonBraunschwei]

Speak for yourself

[@revanth2628]

I don't think it is "Totally Unnecessary". Players need time to recover from one game to get going with the other another.

[@NVDumpit]

players needs a break or something

[@morning_star8230]

Yes they do need breaks but isnt 45min a bit too much?​@@revanth2628

[@arch1q892]

Also that's recorder videos so you can just skip it.watching live maybe yeah boring but you free to do other stuff.

[@UkyEnJ46]

Hikaru vs magnus Hikaru lol 🤢🥺

[@jackhocine2484]

Danya too delusional at 3:26:00 ??? tffff ??? when was Magnus straglling that bad against hikaru... Magnus owns this guy for years now... stop trying to make a rivalry that never existed...this is disgusting !

[@I_am_Itay]

He is obviously referring to himself and the general feeling playing against Hikaru and not saying Magnua feel like this or anything about rivalry

[@jackhocine2484]

@@I_am_Itay he definitely wasn't referring to himself !

[@futurefox128]

Kind of stupid to make this a 2 board event and then just showing 1 of the boards for most of the time. Who makes these decisions? Yes, Magnus vs Hikaru was obv very exciting, but the last game by Vishy was basically not shown at all?? Seems very disrespectful towards a former world champion.

[@junedkhan-ft6dh]

What is this format can some explain pls?

[@markrobertson3054]

Its casablanca chess Famous openings from history First 10-15 moves are from those games Then players play on their own

[@junedkhan-ft6dh]

@@markrobertson3054 ohh got it Thanks Mark

[@ericastier1646]

Poor commentators, not a word about the historical significance of Casablanca. These guys have zero culture. Wearing an oxford frat jacket is weird for a grown man that is no longer a teenager.

[@Shelmerdine745]

Chess24 is supporting chess events that are sponsored by Russian money? You even have one of Putin’s henchmen on camera chatting with the players. Shame on you and all participants.

[@JohnSmithEx]

Please leave politics aside. We are here to relax and be entertained.

[@Shelmerdine745]

@@JohnSmithEx Don;t watch the videos, then. The point is they are feeding you propaganda and should not. Chess24 should keep well away from politics and not let the Russians use them. Wake up

[@ericastier1646]

Bobby Fisher is right Chess has been a lousy game for 3 centuries. It's mostly memorization and openings there is little creativity. The Chess pie to make a living out of it is very small so there are no friendly relationship between chessplayer. Fisher lamented that songwriters have friendly colleague relstions because the music entertainment pie is so big they are not worried about taking each other's meal, but no so in Chess. I think the world can easily invent new maths based board games like chess that are more interesting. Chess is after all only a set of mathematical rules. It's easy to invent better newer games. I feel that all the energy wasted by new generations of chessplayers should be invested in more interesting and new mathematical creativity. Chess is an exhausted game, it's been refined there is nothing left to learn, except being a machine. I know Magnus agrees.

[@JohnSmithEx]

It's easy to invent newer games, but not easy at all to invent better games. If you think it's easy, why aren't you inventing one this weekend? The reason that it's so hard to make a better game, is simply because chess is a so damn great game.

[@ericastier1646]

@@JohnSmithEx You're so short sighted and full of doubt. I can invent a board game not next weekend but in the next hour, in fact in the next ten minutes with as much potential as chess. There is nothing special about the mathematical rules of chess. Any person good at fundamental mathematical objects can devise most interesting games and yes it will be more interesting than chess because all stones have been turned in Chess there is nothing left to discover. Bobby Fisher strongly agrees and so does Magnus. "Chess has been a lousy game for 3 centuries." - bobby Fisher

[@JohnSmithEx]

​@@ericastier1646 So why aren't you investing these 10 minutes to actually make this game of yours, that will be more interesting than chess, and present it to the world? What is there to stop you? Are you a person so busy that you can't afford to take a break for 10 minutes and do something interesting? Or maybe you are not so confident that the world will agree that your game is more interesting? Please create that game, in no more than 10 minutes, and show it to us!

[@ericastier1646]

@@JohnSmithEx You're a presumptuous fool. The main reason i will not do it here is because your attitude deserves no respect, I certainly am not going to present a new board game to a fool audience like you. Besides you must be mediocre at fundamental mathematics to not see that Chess is just a grain of sand in a beach of millions of possible board game. I am most amazed by how dumb people like you are.

[@tv240]

Vishy at this age against Magnus is just a joke. He was annihilated. He should give walkover against Magnus ad try to compete in the other matches. He can't even draw anymore against Magnus. He will lose every single time. It's utterly embarrassing to watch 😢

[@betarubber9546]

Hikaru also lost And i guess vishy is just enjoying his matches more than thinking about win or lose

[@markrobertson3054]

Not only at this age tbh

[@trollf3]

Not really. Shorter time controls are better for older players in general because they can rely on intuition instead of brute calculation. And almost anyone would be an underdog against Magnus, especially when he is an avid follower of historical matches
