AMAZING COMMENTARY! Do you show yourselves in moments? Maybe a tiny box in another corner with y'all... Well done crew! I'm an instant fan! Thank you GREAT GAME thanks maestros #hikaru #chess #MagnusCarlsen
I would have greatly preferred to have seen, 12:08, Nakamura repeat the castle position to see if the bishop would repeat the trade offer. I prefer to see doubling in situations like this to see if the other party will consider a different approach.
Here's a line I saw immediately. Staring with Move 19.. White moves knight to E5.. Carlsen takes with his knight. Move 20 pawn takes knight.. carlsen takes the dark squared bishop with his remaining knight. Move 21 queen takes knight......... I am a fairly novice chess player. If I've missed something please let me know but the anouncers didn't even see or mention this option for white.. which in my opinion puts white in a very strong position. It doubles a pawn but blocks blacks center pawn from advancing further.
I was waiting before Magnus pushed his passed spend to e3 I was hoping he'd give a check to the king on f3 first then push e3. Point is that black queen occupies the 3rd rank already
Maybe because of: e2 Qe1 Qf3 Kg1 and you are about to lose the e2 pawn cause you got to stop the white passed pawn on a file (a4 is the threat). idk tbh...
This actually is Nakamura's game. He can't play dubious Blitz chess openings against arguably the greatest player of all time when there is more time on the clock to play sound chess. His fun openings like the Bongcloud and the Hippo are for low stakes streams and would be ruthlessly punished by Carlsen in this format.
Chess is more about trading pieces, it's about what the trade does for you. Carlsen's rooks were stronger than Hikaru's because they were in prime position to launch a deadly attack on the White King. Trading those rooks relieved the pressure for Hikaru.
Carlsen has a superior position and a bit of an attack at the point where Nakamura forces those exchanges. Once the rooks come off White's chances of losing in a mating attack go way down and his chances of achieving a draw go way up, that's why White plays Rf2. After the trades Carlsen still had the better position and the best chances to win in the endgame but Nakamura found enough moves to hold the draw. You can tell by how Carlsen continued to look at the game afterwards that he felt like there had to be a win in there for him.
I think because Magnus knew that Hikaru wouldn't take the pawn and sacrifice his Queen, that would give Magnus the win. He was always going to place his Queen in front of the pawn to stop it from promoting
@Nicholas Acton How would it give him a better chance? I can't visualize the moves. If he moved the pawn forward, magnus would move the queen in front of the pawn, then Hikaru moves queen to E4, trapping magnus queen, then move the king out and start making moves. GG's.
@Marquise Kelly There ISN'T anything to gain from making the board bigger. It's plenty big, instead of being mad at everyone for your disability I'd maybe get my eyes checked if I were you.
@Kubi it’s one thing to say you like the setup how it is. It’s a whole other delusion to say nothing would be gained by making the main focus of ALL OF THIS BIGGER. These asinine comments really grinds my gears
Did you have difficulties seeeing the board? Imo there is nothing to gain from making the board larger. But having the players larger allowes us to see ther mimics better.
Magnus looking like anchorman and of CEO of ESPN, Hikaru's world is a tiny, low rez thumbnail. The visual cues say that Magnus should have crushed him like a mosquito. He may be small but he is fierce!
38:14 Black Q D1! and walk the pawn in! WTF is wrong with these mouth pieces? Magnus totally messed up. Sitting with over 5 minutes to play this move but no he gets a draw!
25:40 That's why I don't watch these games. I get so damn frustrated. Can anyone for the love of God tell why he did not move the white pawn E4 to E5 and check the black queen? WHY? Don't tell me a professionnal who clearly took almost a minute to take a decision didn't see that option ! Grrrr
I ran your move through an engine and it went from 0.0 to +1.5 for black. In short, your move is extremely poor and does nothing but open up the diagonal for the queen, as the black queen just moves to c6 with a check next move. It's probably even a resignable move at their level of play lol. So maybe don't get frustrated next time. Just watch the game like the rest of us who are no way near the level of these guys and assume that if they don't play your move it probably just isn't as good as you think it is. Edit: I hadn't double stacked the rooks. It actually goes from 1.0 for black to 2.6 for black if you play that move...but still a bad move.
@Takeda Shingen if pawn moves to e5 then the black queen gives a check then white king has to move and black rook comes into 2nd rank threatening white queen . I maybe wrong but that's what I think. Waiting for your response.
@paranoid hippie Yes the black rook check the king, the white queen take it, the last black rook come down to take it, then the white king take the last black rook. Now the black has no rook and the white has 2 rooks. What am I missing?
@Takeda Shingen black has rooks on F7 and F8. if he moves the took on F7 to F2 checking white's king, white has to either take the rook with the queen or move to king. either way white is gonna lose the queen. hope that helps
@paranoid hippie ... ? Use the location because I'm not following you. If E4 goes to E5, the black queen definitely is backing off. The rooks aren't even a concern in this scenario.

The commentary on these videos is A+. Please keep more of this type of content coming
except for reading peoples tweets...
Finally, a game without someone coughing in the background the entire time!
COUGH COUGH!
They should have added a cough track, much like how they add the canned laughter in sitcoms. For the realism.
Bruh it's like they have a savings account dedicated to coughing
*Cough Cough*
No audience >>
Cannot stop listening to the male commentator. Intonation, vocabulary, rythm... All great.
What a commentary! On point and very helpful.
This was an intriguing thought out process by Hakaru... commentary was great. Love this for the fans of CHESS! THANK YOU
There's a reason he is called Hiroshima Nagasaki
Hikama is very good indeed
Nakamu plays CHESS with élan
Indeed, Nikaru is quite a decent player
AMAZING COMMENTARY! Do you show yourselves in moments? Maybe a tiny box in another corner with y'all... Well done crew! I'm an instant fan! Thank you
GREAT GAME thanks maestros #hikaru #chess #MagnusCarlsen

finally a game without cut aways at key moments
Here's a line I saw immediately. Staring with Move 19.. White moves knight to E5.. Carlsen takes with his knight.
Move 20 pawn takes knight.. carlsen takes the dark squared bishop with his remaining knight.
Move 21 queen takes knight.........
I am a fairly novice chess player.

I was waiting before Magnus pushed his passed spend to e3 I was hoping he'd give a check to the king on f3 first then push e3. Point is that black queen occupies the 3rd rank already
38:19 I think if Magnus went QD1, he would have won the game.
White Qe4 and there is an option for perpetual check.
This goes to show we all do mistakes and we forget general principles
That was a good game by hikaru because escaped death
The commentars are talking about their hoarding problems and quite proud of them 11:38 to 14:12
26:35 he shouldn’t push to h4 because it would be checkmate
I thought of moving e3 to e2 instead queen to e4
39:47 can someone explain me why not black pawn e2? 🙃
Maybe because of: e2 Qe1 Qf3 Kg1 and you are about to lose the e2 pawn cause you got to stop the white passed pawn on a file (a4 is the threat). idk tbh...
Magnus grew some extra beard between game 1 and 2
I would have moved there too
Hikaru is not playing his game against Magnus. These are more traditional positions. Just sayin.
This actually is Nakamura's game. He can't play dubious Blitz chess openings against arguably the greatest player of all time when there is more time on the clock to play sound chess. His fun openings like the Bongcloud and the Hippo are for low stakes streams and would be ruthlessly punished by Carlsen in this format.
The rivalry
@25:50 wasnt it better to attack black queen using the pawn?
Can Anyone Please explain to me how the 4 rooks were traded between each other on 31:13 I don’t get it, Thank You.
Chess is more about trading pieces, it's about what the trade does for you. Carlsen's rooks were stronger than Hikaru's because they were in prime position to launch a deadly attack on the White King. Trading those rooks relieved the pressure for Hikaru.

Hikaru moved to F2 then trades from there. You should be able to see how that plays out.
Someone can explain me why at 39:48 he didn't move the black pawn forward towards the white queen?
The king can help stop it from promoting.
I think because Magnus knew that Hikaru wouldn't take the pawn and sacrifice his Queen, that would give Magnus the win. He was always going to place his Queen in front of the pawn to stop it from promoting
Magnus won the game because Hikaru Nakamura couldn't fight so he made decision to draw.I don't agree this type of draw system.
Lmao. Camera zooming in at their hands clicking the mouse. 🙃
So drama lmao
I see these tiktoks of Hikaru doing pre moves and winning....then I watch this and see him make simple mistakes. 39:42 - push the pawn forward.
i was thinking the same, can some explain why magnus didnt do it?
watch out we got a super gm over here
@Nicholas Acton How would it give him a better chance? I can't visualize the moves. If he moved the pawn forward, magnus would move the queen in front of the pawn, then Hikaru moves queen to E4, trapping magnus queen, then move the king out and start making moves. GG's.
I still haven’t gotten full proof advice on how to win a game
guys, I thought Magnus retired from chess?
I understood that reference.
why not pawn to E2 instead of Queen to E4
At 38.15 why didnt magnus play QD1
because it loses the pawn to the king and loses the game
Hikaru could make a draw if qd1 black, Hikaru could remove d line pawn and make a draw.. magnus wanted to win
Nope, because Qe4, with a perpetual threat for white
Isnt that a winning move?
Why dont you put the board in the center and the players in the corner?
@Marquise Kelly There ISN'T anything to gain from making the board bigger. It's plenty big, instead of being mad at everyone for your disability I'd maybe get my eyes checked if I were you.
most people want to watch the players.
@Kubi it’s one thing to say you like the setup how it is. It’s a whole other delusion to say nothing would be gained by making the main focus of ALL OF THIS BIGGER. These asinine comments really grinds my gears
@Kubi Yeah everyone had trouble watching the board. It's about watching the game not the players.
Did you have difficulties seeeing the board? Imo there is nothing to gain from making the board larger. But having the players larger allowes us to see ther mimics better.
Is carlsen just listening to music, or taking some audio help? Either way, is it allowed?
Magnus looking like anchorman and of CEO of ESPN, Hikaru's world is a tiny, low rez thumbnail. The visual cues say that Magnus should have crushed him like a mosquito. He may be small but he is fierce!
Check 38:10
If Magnus had played Queen d1 he would have won the game. No way to stop pawn promotion without sacrifice.
Wait, if Magnus moved to D1 then Hikaru could move to E4 and then E8 to cause a perpetual check.
Sounds like the Goldeneye track
Am I missing something? At 28:30 after white plays 30. d4 why can’t black play 30. Qxg3+ 31. Kh1 Rf1+ 32. Rxf1 Rxf1#?
Pawn takes Queen hxg3
Magnus could have win this game if he pust his queen to D2 to promote his pawn. what a waste. 😣
i dont knw why chess tournaments doesn't have millions of views
Because people need to study first to enjoy it
Boring
magnus hips don't lie 41:13
Please make THE chess board smaller and the hand/mouse screen bigger.
38:03 I woulda played white queen d 3
Tani defeats all
Interesting match but you have to mute the commentators they keep talking about their collections various items ad nauseam ad infinitum
31:08 why this trade?
was it carlsen or stephen hawking?
Lmao
😂
my sister is watching paint dry now, and I am watching chess
excellent commentary.
38:14 Black Q D1! and walk the pawn in! WTF is wrong with these mouth pieces? Magnus totally messed up. Sitting with over 5 minutes to play this move but no he gets a draw!
Still a draw!
move 47 black pawn to e2......bada bing
It's pronounced Mang-nus, not Mag-Nus.
I don’t get how this whole commentary it just seems like they favor magnus, Hikaru is an amazing chess player
@John Bowman they should when its hikaru
@Christian W Professional commentators shouldn't blatantly all be biased towards one player over the other, don't be dumb
Cause Hikaru is an annoying manchild and Magnus is cool AF, everyone should be favoring Carlsen over Hikaru.
@Kiritle Maila not really
But when you a commentator you must be fair no favors
stating the obvious as a commentator. I rather press mute and watch in silence
So slow!
the commentators comments like it is a football game. It is chess. With lower tone would be better.
i fell in love with those womans accents, wich part of england are they?
Red light district
You think THIS game is a challenge? Try Hearthstone....
How hikaru, cheating as usual, cant beat magnus? Thats weird
someone's mad cause they can't get past 800 rating
"Cheating as usual"
gtfo
🥱🥱🥱
terrivle layout. please try again.
Maybe get some commentator with more Gameknowledge. Sry for my eng
They have 100 times the game knowledge you ever will in your life bud..
Isn't the dude the youngest English GM or something? Seems like they've got plenty to me.
25:40 That's why I don't watch these games. I get so damn frustrated. Can anyone for the love of God tell why he did not move the white pawn E4 to E5 and check the black queen? WHY? Don't tell me a professionnal who clearly took almost a minute to take a decision didn't see that option ! Grrrr

@Takeda Shingen if pawn moves to e5 then the black queen gives a check then white king has to move and black rook comes into 2nd rank threatening white queen . I maybe wrong but that's what I think. Waiting for your response.
@paranoid hippie Yes the black rook check the king, the white queen take it, the last black rook come down to take it, then the white king take the last black rook. Now the black has no rook and the white has 2 rooks. What am I missing?

hope that helps

Draw?
I wish these commentators would talk less!!
Just mute it then, genius. I find the commentary informative
God what an Annoying commentary
