It’s refreshing to hear the commentators putting it on the line and admitting when they’re wrong but nobody excepts them to be right against Magnus anyways
great battle between the goat and the one he thinks will be magnus after magnus... Good on both guys!! Very entertaining! Bel effort Alireza, meilleure chance la prochaine fois. so close....
At the end of the game black Also had bishop takes g3+ clearing the rook from the back rank winning the exchange plus a pawn. No way possible to stop that e pawn unless you sack for it. Magnus turns God mode in 2nd set
I really wanted to see how Magnus would win this position. you can't just exchange a bishop and a pawn to a rook. the computer finds couple of lines for Magnus to push and for Firouzia to defend - but what would be best human moves - I'll never know : ))
@@TheViking75 Long post - summary in last paragraph. Your post made me curious about WC results since Carlsen first became one so I did some reading. It's more one-sided than I realized. Magnus started his current streak at #1 rated in July 2011. He skipped candidates in 2011, then won it in 2013, got to challenge Anand and became WC that year. Since winning it... there's been 9 world blitz championships, of which Carlsen won 6 there's been 9 world rapid championships, of which Carlsen won 5 there's been 5 world classical championships. Carlsen defended the title 4 times and declined playing to defend it on the last run - citing dissatisfaction with the format and prep involved. He confirmed this after finding out he would have fought Nepo, who Carlsen had won against decisively last cycle. He had been hoping to match Alireza who's style of play he's a big fan of. Of the world championships since he first became WC, Magnus has won 16/24. Not bad. The only other currently active players with multiple WC wins in the same format are the legendary Anand (won classical WC 4 times before being dethroned by Carlen, and won rapid WC 2 times, amazingly one was in 2017 at age 47!) and Alexander Grischuk (won blitz WC 3 times, most recently in 2015). Vasyl Ivanchuk and Sergey Karjakin have both won a blitz WC and rapid WC each. So for active players with multiple WC wins we have: Magnus 16 Anand 6 (once while Magnus was competing) Alexander Grischuk 3 (twice while Magnus was competing) Sergey Karjakin 2 (both times Magnus was competing) Vasyl Ivanchuk 2 (once while Magnus was competing) There are another 5 players who've won a single WC event Magnus competed in: Lê Quang Liêm, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Daniil Dubov, Nodirbek Abdusattorov. If we extend this to chess variants we can add two names: Wesley So and Hikaru Nakamura have each won 1 FIDE 960 (slow rapid) championship that Magnus was participating in. Additionally Ding Liren won the most recent classical WC, which is the one WC event since 2013 that Carlsen didn't participate in. So while Magnus is by no means guaranteed to win a WC, it's also true that no one is consistently fighting him for that top spot. Worth noting the WC medal comparison should only be considered in light of the active players since Magnus started competing for WCs. Anand ends up included here because his reign directly proceeded Magnus. Obviously there are many legendary players that are not counted here because there they are not currently active, or out of prime. This is very much a recent player comparison. I chose to not compare inactive players directly to Magnus because it would be an unfair comparison. The frequency of WC tournaments has increased dramatically (there were almost no rapid or blitz WC matches prior to 2012 for example, but they are now held annually) and someone like Kasparov or Anand among with many other greats would be completely undersold by a medal count comparison since they basically only had a WC classical title to compete for every few years. In terms of classical world championship wins Lasker, Karpov, and Kasparov won 6. Botvinnik, Anand and Carlsen won 5. Only Carlsen and Anand (50+) are not retired right now, and neither seem interested in fighting for the title again. It's a bit unfortunate since Carlsen was a clear favorite in a rematch with Nepo which would have left him with only one more WC defence left to set a new record of 7 WC wins. But it's his life and he said he hated the endless engine preparation for it, so I can't blame him for being done with it after a decade. Last note: I didn't research it heavily, but I'm pretty sure Carlsen has not performed as consistently in other prestigious tournaments. That said I'm not sure there's any non world title events that he always plays. He also seems to care a lot more about the FIDE world events based on his appearances. Only so many tournaments you can play in a year after all. TL;DR: Won 16 of the 24 WC titles since 2013. Sergey Karjakin and Alexander Grischuk are only two players who won more than one (they won 2 each) WC tournament since Magnus started competing in them.
Im average at best, but will drink at the board like Tal and beat magnus in a rapid vs classical format 10/10 guaranteed...and i will take that confidence to my grave
My favorite pastime- watching Magnus crush his opponents' hopes and dreams
Alireza crushed himself in that game.
@@argonthesadmaybe u should coach him
seeing magnus smiling after winning a match can make my day all days !
choose your fighter: Chess Magnus or UA-cam Magnus
Prefer drunk Magnus
Late magnus
I swear Magnus running and winning his own tournaments is to give himself a paycheck tax free
It’s easier to track the diagonals when you look at the board with your head tilted.
Interesting concept!

That's his genius, getting a win out of nothing, that other men fail to notice!
The nice thing is that when the computer doesn't like it, Kramnik can do nothing :D
@@MorningNapalm😂😂😂🎉👍
Thanks to the GM's for explaining the pressure and expectation for each move. Makes this really interesting to follow.
Takk Magnus for at du lastet opp spillet! Veldig bra prestasjon. Jeg håper å møte deg eller se deg en dag i Spania eller Norge, hvem vet?😊

Why does everyone play badly against Magnus?
Greatest of all time ......
Insane. The mid game moves looked so bizarre but he had a vision and plan 😮😂
Amazing and inspiring!
I smell a gotham video coming...
You are late
Magnus is the best player of the world
The king 💪
Took a picture of that smile

W goat MC
Gg to another tournament win
The pressure was just too much for him to bear..!🤠
Can't ket Magnus back into the game! Excellent though for him, and good try for Alireza!

this match was very interesting to watch. Alireza beat magnus on the first half, then Magnus start using his main weapon which is Sicillia
Nice game by Alireza

Umulig å skjønne hvor ekstremt god Magnus er.
i watched this live, yo man Magnus, its so nice to watch you play, respect to all others, are we friends now xD?
Magnus trying his best to match chess goat gotham’s watch me titles
16:29 ?? 16:45? 16:58?? 17:56-18:30?? Wonder what is on their screen that is more distracting than this game?
How many WC titles does he have ? and how many from other elite tournaments?
@TheViking75 17 total World Championships if you include rapid and blitz and probably 30-40 elite tournament wins. Could be more.
Thanx. 30-40 elite tournaments is not that many considering he has been the world #1 for 15 years or so. Winning 2+ a year. He is good though😅
