    This is not the first time Magnus has done an interesting queen for ~9 points of material trade, he's so amazingly expert at harmonizing the pieces afterward and making it impossible for the opponent to do anything about it. Massive respect to Jeffrey Xiong.

    Great video mate! Just a little tip you might want to consider - as you are in a small space for your recordings, it is quite a reverberant space - with lots of echos. If you stick up some acoustic panels on the walls your voice will come out much more soothing :). It doesn't need to be an expensive operation, they can be DIY'ed quite cheaply. When I first setup my space I had the same challenges. Hope this helps :)

    I'm not trying to be a jerk (because I really do appreciate the videos you record for us), but nothing is more fun than watching Kasparov blunder. Magnus had no business winning that game. Like.. at all. Jiang Zemin queened a pawn like 10 moves before Magnus and it didn't even matter because Magnus stirred up his hodgepodge of comparably stupid pieces and somehow spun up a queen. Unreal.

      Your understanding of chess is very good, but your understanding of time in chess isn't. The thing is, Magnus has always been one of the greatest player alongside Hikaru in time scrambles, so while you talk about this game, I particular you shall consider how the two players were very low in time, yet somehow able to find most of the best moves, so I don't know am I missing here? Like seriously 🙄

      @@Philiopantheon82 the main thing you’re missing is one of the oldest comedy devices known to civilization: pretending to be stupid. See Ali G for a prominent example of this, although half the Monty Python sketches fit too. It’s been around since (at least) the ancient Greeks.

He won the unofficial World Blitz Ch in Herceg Novi w/19-3, 4.5 pts ahead of Tal! He won Rovinj-Zagreb 1970 w/13-4 score, 2pt ahead of field! He won Buenos Aires w/15-2, 3 5 pts ahead of field! He played in Seigen Olympiad, scoring 10-3 (+8,-1,=4 losng to World Champion Spassky). Then he won Palma de Majorca Interzonal w/18.5-4.5, 3.5 pts ahead of field!! In 1971 Candidates matches Fischer 'steamrolled' Taimanov and Larsen 6-0 and 6-0 and Petrosian 6.5-2.5 !! We all know what happened in 1972.

But fully respect and agree with your comment that Bobby is the GOAT of his era, however Magnus now eclipses him for me personally, Garry third, problem with Bobby is he didn't cement his legacy by being World Champ for decade+ like he could have been

    Before you run out of superlatives to describe Carlsen's games, let me suggest a few more: Stockfishesque, mind blowing, crazy, AI-like, superhuman, rule-breaking, genius on steroid, history in the making performance, jaw-dropping moves, extraterrestrial chess. I invite other viewers to add more!

      Abracadabrantesque and ineffable can be used at will with Carlsen.
