As a raw beginner so appreciate your analysis, breakdown and explanation of why moves work or not.

[@jonchess8844]

It does seem that Magnus struggles against Chucky, although in fairness Chucky is an exceptional talent who never really achieved what his talent deserved. Great game though and fab analysis as always by Danny👍

[@tobylerone007]

Chucky is a boss - still.

[@PowerPlayChess]

I think back to the Candidates in London 2013 where Ivanchuk, playing a miserable tournament, defeated Carlsen (convincingly) and almost derailed his progress to the world title. Ivanchuk is a unique talent.

[@jonchess8844]

PowerPlayChess Yes, I think I remember the game, was it a Sicilian? I remember also Magnus being totally gutted and disgusted with his play.

[@PowerPlayChess]

@@jonchess8844 As always when he loses!

[@reddz.k.4404]

@@PowerPlayChess Chucky both almost derailed but also massively helped Carlsen, because he also beat Kramnik earlier in the tournament. Kramnik had the same score but came in second in the tournament based on tie breaks.

[@FlaminalLow]

Chucky is a true legend!

[@TandemKnights]

Chucky and Magnus really do create a fascinating clash of styles and, as they say in boxing, styles make the fight. Ivanchuk is a true genius, one of the greatest players to never become world champion. As many know already, Chucky's eccentricities were the only reason he didn't obtain the highest title in chess. When in form, he is a match for any player that has ever lived.

[@imeprezime1285]

Fact that Chuky pushed Carlsen to Armageddon stage of the match says enough of Chuky's strength in rapid chess. Besides he was a rapid chess champ just a few years back!

[@andreadiotallevi5780]

Fantastic analysis Danny, thank you!

[@andrewfleming3445]

Another great video 👍.

[@sjobang]

Great analysis as always!

[@emregeylani]

Another great analysis, thanks Daniel.

[@ericvos620]

armageddon is highly unfair for the legends part of the tournament

[@matthwjmes]

[@user-gp2eb3lm3d]

Deine Videos und auch deine DVDs auf Deutsch sind super auch dieser Kanal. Mach bitte weiter so 👍

[@PowerPlayChess]

Danke. Mach ich!

[@weakrecession]

After total dominance or by the skin of his teeth, never mind format or situation, in the end, the winner is Magnus. He seems to have endless energy, coupled with the conviction that loosing is not an option, that's a deadly combination, like some Mike Tyson in his prime... For how many more years?

[@rohmann000]

If Magnus really wants to I believe he could be champ for another 4-5 years

[@klaasvanstrien989]

Just here to drop a like, as I just already saw this on Agadmator, but I might rewatch this still here tomorrow, as I really Love your way of analyzing and with how much humor and joy you tell the story 😊

[@JPCPSeto]

Ivanchuk always seems to give Carlsen so much trouble, it's always a fascinating matchup.

[@luarsoares7314]

Thank you for that, Dan.

[@RoyGazoff]

Super cool 👍😎👌

[@laali_puppy]

nice to see Chucky back in top level chess after a long hibernation. Thanks for covering this game, hoped to see their first round game too which Chucky won (what is the fun in seeing Magnus winning yet another game, a win by Chucky against the WC would have been incredible!).

[@salmarwow]

Well, as much as I like Ivanchuk, he is not back in top level chess. His rating is below 2700 at the moment, you don't expect to see him in any top tournament, except the ones which have "legends" in their title.

[@tennisblood]

Chucky Thompson from Boardwalk Empire!!!

[@chessdad182]

Two great players

[@skakdosmer]

I'd love to see a title match between Carlsen and Ivanchuk! Of course Magnus would win, but there’d be some really fascinating games.

[@Requiredfields2]

All openings and defenses meld into each other eventually.

[@johngrey5806]

He is a wizard. He will become like Gandalf or Saruman, this Mr. Commentator.

[@rxw5520]

This opening is a great illustration to lower level players like me of the fact that it can be perfectly fine to disregard basic opening principles (here we see white moving one of his knights four times and black playing pawn to d6 followed quickly by d5) as long as it's in reaction to what your opponent is doing.

[@PowerPlayChess]

There was logic behind these moves, although I am tempted to say, 'Do not try this at home'.

hard to get razors in the times of covid :) . Incidentally, I thought I hear you do a voice over for chessable; doesn't that conflict with your lucrative chessbase deal?

[@704studio]

hello everyone....

[@SBelaya]

Sad to learn that Carlsen won the Armageddon game by trickery and Ivanchuk just ran out of time. In the recent interview on the chess24 Russian channel here is the link for those who understand Russian: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqKnXnx3l96lpq8 Ivanchuk said that he feels that he plays better then Carlsen. That feeling might even be true, but Carlsen certainly has more experience with tricking people in online games when they are short of time.

[@PowerPlayChess]

'Trickery' - I think you are going to have to expand on that. I watched the game live and it was very tense with Ivanchuk missing a tactic at the end and his time running out at the same time. There was nothing unfair about this armageddon game, which is what you seem to be implying.

[@SBelaya]

@@PowerPlayChess I did not imply that the result was unfair. The rules are the rules, and everything that happens within those rules is fair. If I was implying anything is that I am not a fan of faster time controls with no increment.

[@PowerPlayChess]

@@SBelaya Thank you for clarification. Magnus Carlsen won the match fairly.

[@SBelaya]

@@PowerPlayChess No disagreement whatsoever between us here. If 'trickery' was an unfortunate word usage from me, in my defence it was influenced by 19:30: "...and Carlsen tricked him". I would be happy to disagree with you somewhere else if the opportunity is presented though ;)

[@PowerPlayChess]

@@SBelaya :) I meant tactically tricked, but your 'trickery' came across as a bit stronger! Anyway, I am glad we are clear what we both meant. All the best.

[@imelfo3945]

What happened in game 1? Seems like Carlsen missed a simple checkmate in 2 and then missed a checkmate in 1. Carlsen lost on purpose?

[@PowerPlayChess]

On purpose?? It's rapid play and mistakes happen. I would say that the standard of chess is, overall, incredibly high from all the players: far fewer blunders than one might anticipate given the speed of play.

[@imelfo3945]

​@@PowerPlayChess Thanks for clarifying. Great matches indeed.

Too many commercials - impossible to watch.....

[@nilsp9426]

What an absurd opening...

[@PowerPlayChess]

Actually, I thought there was logic to the moves from both sides!

[@nilsp9426]

I thought so, too. But so many purposeful retreats or back-and-forth moves are rare, nonetheless.

[@erbalumkan369]

i used to like this channel but the commercials are making it unbearable to watch now.

[@MrSupernova111]

I got to admit. For someone who is a GM the "analysis" is rather lacking here.
