this is just what happens when you give 2 cheaters a chess board and dont allow them to use their devices.... the only thing i would accept is if magnus claims he did it on purpose.... if he didnt, this might as well be proof of the cheating.
Get well soon Epic Cheese! I became a Grand Master in 3 weeks this year thanks to your channel (time to achieve this might vary for other people) and now eat nothing but mushrooms. No Christmas carols for us this year, just Andrea spinning the beats, and every time I greet someone going forward it will be with the most limpwristed slimy appallingly awkward handshake ever. Merry Christmas!!
haha yeah. thats the first time i have ever spotted a correct move that magnus missed...if he actually did miss it. its kind of hard for me to believe that he didnt just decide to let the blunder go.
Being Spanish , and enjoying ALL the nicknames 😂 u create for Carnificence magson, and understand them is superior. Don’t stop please. I’m hooked, and the most important: very happy to be like that for this. Mushrooms!
Even as a 2000 rated player I saw the queen sac even before he mentioned it as a blunder,,I just saw that white's two rooks were cutting off the king,,it’s mate or free rook..just shocked that magnus missed it.
That's the sort of thing a player at my level might overlook. You'll go years without seeing it from Carlsen and probably only slightly more often from MVL.
Merry Christmas, brother. Hope you and tthe fasmily have a good holiday season and a happy new year. For e4, b4, and I 4. :) Cheers man, hope to see more from you in the coming year.
Magnanimous Carlsbad missed that back rank checkmate, but he also missed a very sneaky follow-up move in response to MVL's move QE5 after the missed BRC 🍻🍺 he didn't have to trade queens
My wife understands a bit of chess and she loves your commentary: en-croissant, and cagnus marlsen. Priceless your commentary! Wishes for you to get better quick!
6:25 Magnus is so damn scary in queenless endgames that top Grandmas will blunder rather than exchange queens with him. The GOAT. The Only Legitimate World Chess Champion. And Magnus missed the mate because he doesn't expect MVL to blunder mate in 3. If this is was a classical game I think we all know Magnus finds the mate, and more likely, MVL never makes the blunder in the first place.
_"...also covering I4, often overlooked..."_ - Hahaha! That new one, what a nice Christmas present James. Thank you so much. Hope you had an awesome time with your family and don't worry about that tonsilitis, probably some bacteria wanting to celebrate as well, perhaps purchase your calendar, you're making fans everywhere, very natural. Thanks again, and wish you a great week m'friend!
Don't listen to music & they criticize world championship matches & wen ding blunders they think it's not possible wen magnus can blunder wen he's still dominating
Where can I buy that calendar?
Currently out of stockfish, sorry 😔
That would be in Tarjey.
Yeah, I need that calendar too for, uhm, strictly academical research purposes
Is there a way to photoshop out the people at the back?
@@adamvs95made me laugh!
When you're so strong, you see your opponent blunder the middle game and you play the second best drawish move so the game goes on.
“A pawn structure only a mother could love” these are GOLD. Thank you for great videos and commentary
Haha thanks glad you’re enjoying
BTW over here in America I believe that pawn capture move is called En Croissanwich.
😂 I’ll have to use that some time thanks lol

Yes. 😂 rook lift emoji instead off add. Good job
My mum is 400 ELO but believe it or not she's about to become a grandmother too!
😂 congrats!! 😁
This commentary was sponsored by mushrooms. All of them.
Haha
Wow, I've seen that exact sacrifice a dozen times on Puzzle Rush. It's a 1400-rated tactic. Absolutely unbelievable that they BOTH missed it!
Oh really haha there you go!

Kramnik? That you?
Lol😂@@witheringhs7766
All the best for Christmas James! Get well soon. If the penicillin doesn't work you know what to do...mushrooms.
😂😂 good thinking and thanks same to you!

Haha what a comment thanks a lot merry Christmas to you too!
now keep on watching and try to become WC; if Gukesh could - you can too
True if Gukesh can any of us can.
Your visual memes always bring a smile to my face.
Magnus is that type of guy that "Wait you're losing? nahhh let's keep going."
saw the move but said "nah that's too easy, no fun"
We criticised the blunder, but i didn't see a better move given how well Magnus had the i4 square clamped at the time.
New square dropped
"That´s what we want in a modern movie, right?". Listening to that comment was so pleasant
Magnus needs to practice with some puzzle rush
haha yeah. thats the first time i have ever spotted a correct move that magnus missed...if he actually did miss it. its kind of hard for me to believe that he didnt just decide to let the blunder go.
James, your christmas photo-shoot went well with the lady chess players. They look suitably impressed.
😁😆

First time seeing your content and I love your commentary (U gained a new follower)
Stock sushi, your a genius
Thanks very much glad you enjoyed!
Love ur commentary bro, merry christmas
Thanks a lot and same to you!
Thank you for your videos and a speedy recovery!
Thanks a lot!
nice mention of the often overlooked i4 square
Holiday season. Call him Magneto Carolsinger

big miss by Magnus at 1:14. Kxh8 leads to a material advantage and a winning position.

Haha thanks for watching glad you’re enjoying and same to you!
Wish you good recovery. Always very entertaining reporting.
Thanks a lot!
Magnus just wanted to play an endgame. He could've ended it.
Merry Christmas!!
Total commentary domination!
Haha thanks and you!
Even as a 2000 rated player I saw the queen sac even before he mentioned it as a blunder,,I just saw that white's two rooks were cutting off the king,,it’s mate or free rook..just shocked that magnus missed it.
1:14 Good that you've shown the king threatening the rook.
Canty thinking the same thing as me: these dudes would never miss such moves against me!

"Merrychristmas Carols-son", not much time to get this in...
Rd8 is what I would've played. That Queen sac -I would never thought of it...
5:15 😂😂😂best part
That's the sort of thing a player at my level might overlook. You'll go years without seeing it from Carlsen and probably only slightly more often from MVL.
'i'm out, yall have a good one' LOL!
"Do you even rook lift mon frère?" I'm dead.
You can have Pishop Beer for Christmas. You will be fine

Merry Christmas, brother. Hope you and tthe fasmily have a good holiday season and a happy new year. For e4, b4, and I 4. :)
Cheers man, hope to see more from you in the coming year.
Haha thanks same to you have a great one and cheers for the support this year and always interesting comments!
A great win for Magnus. And a very funny summary from you. Get better soon James. and Merry Christmas
Thanks Jose and the same to you! And yes on the mend now cheers feeling a lot better already
Where can we buy the calendar?
Isn’t real I’m afraid lol just playing 😁
@@epicchess2021 My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
Magnis Christmas gifting checkmates to keep up the holiday spirit
Referencing the i4 square threw me for a loop! 😅
Funny video man, quite uplifting in these personally hard times (family trouble, cheating dad). Genuinely thank you.
Sorry to hear that 😔hope you can still find some joy in today Christmas Day
Can you explain why KxRh8 doesnt work at 1:15? It looks winning to me.
Qg8 checkmate
@@und3rgroundman865AHHH! You're right! How could I miss that mate in 1. I would've fallen for that, but not Magnus Carlsen!
The french pronunciation of ”Target” 😂 you are a genius
Haha
Great stuff. You are the most entertaining chess dude on the web!
Merry Christmas.
Thanks a lot and same to you!
James doing his best Burt Reynolds cheesecake impression! An image for the ages!
Haha
Crazy that with 2 minutes each they didn't see that tactical shot!! Say what you want about Nepo but he would have spotted that in 2 seconds.
Wow, I think Magnus wouldn’t have missed that move with 5 seconds left in a bullet game.. insane
no beer for xmas, but remember, new year's eve coming up
Haha rarely do much these days since I had kids very boring I know 😁
Magnanimous Carlsbad missed that back rank checkmate, but he also missed a very sneaky follow-up move in response to MVL's move QE5 after the missed BRC 🍻🍺 he didn't have to trade queens
Oh really I maybe missed that!
This was a fun one! Merry xmas and feel better!

Haha thanks a lot

Why is that called a golf hat? Doesn't look like the type of hat you would wear during the weather that would be suitable for golf?

It amazes me how even the best in the world can make such blatant mistakes.

In the Christmas spirit magerry gentlecarl doesn't immediately mate mvl
Haha
I have something in commom with Magnus' chess. I didn't see Qxf8 either. 😅
That Gukesh GIF is so wrong 😂
What Gukesh gif I didn't see one?
Magnus Christmas James - get well soon!
Thanks a lot!
The i4 square 😂
Magnus- Jack Nickelson. 😂🤷♂️
The shot is elementry 😀 Fork , Fork, somebody give a fork 😀
Simply the best EC-heese
He didn´t made the mate, cause he wanna show his endgame-skills
I hope you can get your heat turned back on in your home.
😁
How do they both miss such a simple tactic?
Sorry to see that your government heating allowance check didn't come in yet.
