‘Crushes’ is click bait.

[@J42337]

Yes, it is...to an extent. But at the same time, nordibek never had any real advantage the entire game it seemed. He wasn't crushed, but he certainly was summarily defeated.

[@smoothkeyz3383]

@@J42337 Hardly "summarily defeated". smh Nordibeck actually declined repetition of moves, thus chose to play for the win! 5:51 Was he too optimistic, yes! But, some people play for the audience (and we love it!).

[@hellohanma5717]

​@@smoothkeyz3383wesley declined a draw too a couple of times.So yeah ,destroyed!

[@travisnobleart]

Incredible commentary, look how they keep up! No boring move progressions, just focused on the action, and an open door for really anyone to watch. Simple and exciting.

[@upvotecomment2110]

Wesley So gameplay can be broken down in 2 ways 1. Absolute destruction (Either Himself or His opponent) 2. or a Draw (Staying on top is the no.1 priority, NEVER lose!)

[@frankcheezeey21]

You can see the maturity of Wesley specially during end games..hat's off kabayan

[@steadylearner1]

Winning against the French is like squezzing water from stone

[@RedStar-dz5tc]

Watched this live and watched again and it is still exciting!

[@Eleuthero5]

The thumbnail is click bait. So won but he, in no way, "crushed" Nodirbek.

[@cloudforest4087]

I can see So's hand shaking in the time scramble.

[@TherealGeloG]

SO fast, SO strong, SO sharp!!!!

[@jabeesguerra4898]

For a while, I thought So is gonna lose. He didn't have queenside play in an opposite-castling position and had to meet Black's forces on HIS side of the board. Props to the 2-time US champ. 💪💪

[@HARDGIRLSDESIGN]

both players are so smart

[@BethanyBaptistChurchMissionKlo]

Congratulations! Wesley So

[@coviloku7104]

what are these heart rates lol

[@jamess3159]

For real. They must be advertising heart rate monitors. Similar to how they did the air quality for airmasters lol

[@priapushk996]

Nodirbek sending major Edison Chen vibes. Dude can get it.

[@sammy_trix]

You are doing great Wesley So!

[@imjonathan6745]

hello ate.. kumain na po kayo?

[@jeremiahvincentbrazil8521]

Why is there heartrate monitor

[@stevenc.5113]

What a game !

[@mikecantreed]

Audiences are smarter than you give them credit for. People will learn what castling kingside means after they hear it once. You don’t need to say moving the king right. Also, google is a thing.

[@olgalazar3786]

I missed it, but now I'm impressed

[@danmacsound]

The entire point is to make it watchable and entertaining for people who don't know anything about chess. Thats how you grow the game.

[@mikecantreed]

@@danmacsound The NFL isn’t losing audience because people don’t know what the zone defense is.

[@imjonathan6745]

@@mikecantreed ahh!! yes!! this chess competition is totally the same level as the nfl lets compare the two

[@mikecantreed]

@@imjonathan6745 maybe I take back what I said about the audience being smart.

[@GeometricStalemate]

This was bananas! Kf5!

[@davidmasse2829]

The French defense wasn’t crushed. Black was even with it. He lost the end game which was even.

[@chessplace]

Хорошо сыграли! Уэсли прекрасно чувствует короля.

[@michaelblankenau6598]

Why not call it King side or Queen side . Its not that hard to understand .

[@kennethdizon9888]

Magnus : Wesley is wearing a watch 😅

[@amitloutube]

in this age of AI I am amazed that youtube allows titles without any date...its basic Intelligence that you need to put date when this happened in title or description...

[@poopootin3652]

Measuring heart beat for what

[@Peptoid]

so weird

[@soranokenshi7616]

Sometimes, people forget that wesley is the fifth highest rated player in history

[@sonipolakian4256]

Nice video chess

[@Sora_cloudd]

Such high level gameplay

[@joshi6898]

Wesley "the draw kid" So! he is the fastest draw in town.

[@crisarquio7373]

Eh ano ngayon ang problema mo? Lumalaban sya sa mga higher caliber, ikaw asan ka?😂😂😂

[@prithvib8662]

8:00 why not Nxe5? Wouldn't that fork work?

[@muhammadarafatperwira8150]

10:11 wesley so blunder his queen right? Why nodirbek doesnt sees it?

[@tawneestone5869]

Re8 is met with ...Rd8+ and Noderbik has to exchange rooks!

[@UkyEnJ46]

Mantap mantap..... Wesle so

[@junevvaldez5959]

WHAT IS THAT BACKGROUND SOUND? IT IS SO ANOOOOOOOYING!!!

[@gtopg1425]

He knows'

[@michaelblankenau6598]

Blacks king was never airy .

[@jahongirkuchkarov9484]

Did Wesley blunder queen at 10:10?

[@theworldchess]

no! because if Nodirbek plays Re8 then Wesley can just play Rd8 check anyway

[@GeometricStalemate]

World Chess respond to comments! That's nice!

[@joshi6898]

What a dumb question.

[@GeometricStalemate]

@@joshi6898 And what an effort to help someone who couldn't see Rd8+!
