there was never a doubt about the outcome. magnus was toying with her. he is more than 800 points higher than her. she had no chance. when magnus says nice things it means it is over. in the game she says that move is not a good one about her own move, and magnus says all the other moves are not good either.
@@louiscyfer6944 That doesn't mean her game was weak. She did have game. Magnus is like Ali or Tyson in their prime. You can lose handily to one of those two men and still be an elite boxer. You don't suck, they were just that good. Magnus is just that good.
@@Elthenar 800 plus elo rating difference is a high school boxer going against tyson. no chance. anna is a good player, but not elite. far from it. her mom is excellent, still not elite. she has game, certainly beats me. magnus knew who she was when she sat down. i don't remember saying anywhere her game was weak.
@@louiscyfer6944 I'll admit, I am not expert on the relative difference in elo amount a that high a level. The only point I was making is that she was no rando wandering the park. She is a well versed and skill player. She wasn't going to win but he presented a competent game. Anna would certainly beat the tar out of me and everyone I know. I wouldn't even sit down with Magnus any more than I'd try to play Lebron one on one. It would be sad for all involved, although he least there is little danger of Magnus putting me in the hospital.
You chess commentators are getting very good at treating these games like an NFL football game! Same intensity, and the explanations are fantastic and easy to follow!
I've thought for a couple years now that with just a couple more dynamic personalities chess could go full on WWE style with color and play-by-play commentators. It's a great game and, contrary to all the memes, can be a great watch on TV. It's ripe for a real modern explosion like poker got in the early 2000's.
As other people have already said: This is a very good beginner-friendly commentary that makes it easy to understand the intentions of the chess greats. More of it.
I love the commentary, it's enjoyeable and i FINALY understand a bit more of what happen compared to a lot of videos where i just see people moving stuff around with no clue of what they're doing (i'm not a chess player). Ty !
One thing in common that these super GMs have is a very strong memory. These guys can remember the positions and how they are to be tackled. So they basically know a lot of positions from start to finish. They are like computers with stored memories of games.
I’ve seen this exact game on another channel, but it was more instructional watching it here because you commentator breaks the game down so that everyone can understand it (even if his tone is a bit more dramatic than it needs to be).
@@PeterSedesse that's... Not even close to how that works xD the squares are labelled, and the squares are labelled the same for every game and for both players on every board from every angle. A1 is in the bottom left for white, and h8 is the bottom left for black. Lol.
Looked this video "Anna vs. Magnus" very often. Made pause (often) at "Tactics, Tactics" . It was a gift, he wanted to give. Beside all that, I want to give the commentator on this clip 10/10 points. Now Real Life calls me.
I have had a passing familiarity with chess from a young age, it's never been a pursuit of mine, I find it too complicated and cannot drive myself to dedicate the kind of time it would take for me to become competent at it, as such many game commentaries are filled with terminology that goes way over my head. Yours do not. Clear, concise and entertaining, I can absolutely see myself enjoying your breakdowns for quite a while yet.
Jeeezus , its like watching some extreme sports tournament with those commentators . Good job i would say ! i have no clue whats going on but it feels very intensive!
I saw this awhile ago, but the commentator... I was about to say Anna, she's awesome, but like single handedly bringing people into the chess scene? Oh... this isn't official content. This seemed too satirical and well done to be fan made. Nice recommendation.
4:32 Can someone explain why not: black Ne2+ ( K and R fork)... white Rxe2, black Rxc1+ and then on black's next move Rc2 anyway !? 😯 After that, it would be difficult for Carlsen to make his Rd2 and control his pawn later. At the same time, the black rook would control the 3(c) open column and the game could continue possibly differently. I'm not a great chess player, just asking.
i noticed that too. but i think she didn't want to lose her knight, as if knight talked rook, then magnus's dsrk square bishop talked kniht. maybe that's why. OR THEY ALL JUST MISSED IT LOL
Am i missing something here ,when he says tactics , i'm looking at the board, she puts her knight on E -2 its check and the rook has to take then she take his rook and its check . Stop video at 4:24
4:26 why not Nd2+, then Rexf1 +, Nexc4. She'd have gotten a rook and bishop for giving up a knight. Even if the King goes c1 and captures the knight f1 rook can check and trade rooks and she's still rook knight to his double bishops.
@@peazomanco9178 you should see that without seeing the board (and play a whole game without seeing the board). Anyway... to get to a 1500 rating you just have to be carefull, you don't need strategy, tactics, openings, endgames to beat players < 1500... they just HANG PIECES, so all you have to do is TAKE :))
Narrator saying Magnus "manages to find (bishop move)" is kind of amusing. Even in a casual game like this, Magnus was probably planning that 4-5 moves ahead. In tournament play with no time restraints, GMs can think 20-30 moves ahead.
was 3:14 really a compliment. i feel like it could mess with her ego. not that it has but getting that compliment from a world champion has to get in a person's head, right?
@@Bawamba -- Your comment is stupid! The OP made a correction. It is a statement of fact. There is no anger in it. So, go back and *delete* your inappropriate post.
At 5:05 you jumped/faded over a couple more moves, why?? Even the voice-over indicated not to do this, it is moments before the end of the match and you skipped the lead-in once the bishop moved. 😑
If Magnus won 125 games in a row, his elo rating will be 4000 by now. He went 125 games undefeated. Meaning either he won or drew for 125 straight games before losing again.
Arguing with DEMS is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to knock over the pieces, crap all over the board, then strut around thinking that he won

This is the best commentary I've heard. It was quick but comprehensible. Most commentaries leave you lost or with a headache. This guy is GOOD.
I like how they slow down the play as needed to explain a move briefly before continuing. I think that helps.
Its an AI generated text to speech
it's an AI voice you see on almost all videos now
I liked how Magnus started indifferent but became much more invested and amiable when he realized his opponent had game.

It sounds like the narrator of a film noir, not an NFL game.
Yes same thing I was thinking .. Often times I have to replay the games to see what actually happened step by step.
commentary irritates me.
Nice explanations, short but understandable. I always get lost with the 20min+ explanations
He did not *win* 125 games in a row. He went undefeated. Which means he either won or drew.
ye that one had me surprised aswell. 125 games in a row on his level? Magnus = Stockfish
"pawn to d4, an extremely common opening he's played many times before" (cuts to footage of magnus playing 1.e4)
I didn't catch it was E4. Nice.
I watched this on Anna's channel and loved it. Magnus didn't say much, but he did stick to his promise lol gg

Chess with a true crime detective ahahaha
Amazing commentary. As a bit of noob, I like watching the top players but often have no clue who's winning. Thank you!
Your analysis is the best one I’ve ever seen fantastic job!!
His analysis was fine, but cutting out the last series of moves leading to the checkmate was frustrating.
These are well done. I appreciate the good commentary!
Wow! This channel makes chess very interesting, keep it up!
If all chess matches had a narration like this, i would totally watch 100%
The narration is so good, I almost like it more than JCS Criminal Psychology

it is d4 from blacks perspective...... :)

Thinking is not one of your strong points then.
@wavemaker2077 if you think chess exclusively is a measure of one's ability to think then you're likely completely inept yourself.
@@Demoncleanerrr Your logic is lacking. I never said that chess is the only way to measure one's ability to think.
I have absolutely no clue how to play chess. But this is amazing, could watch for hours.
Me too! I just downloaded an app for my desktop :P
@@Barnes466me too, got crushed 10 times a row…I thought were good..

is this a chess game or someone escaping prison? love the energy!
Hahaha true
Jeeezus , its like watching some extreme sports tournament with those commentators . Good job i would say ! i have no clue whats going on but it feels very intensive!
This was acturaly a realy good match she held her own the first half rearly well
For all those chess streamers who have been trying to figure out a way to mainstream chess games and get more people interested in it: This is it!
I'm motivated to start this in my town
Magnus "shocked"when playing Anna??? oh please :))
Great with the sound off. They would make great chess prodigies together.
The music is so intense
That was kind of inevitable
That was fun....and clearly, he knows the board very well!
whats that background music? It's OP
I found it funny when he was showing a game and saying that Magnus plays d4 alot yet in that game he played e4 😂😂 1:20
i think what he meant is if magnus plays white. but since this one he plays black he plays e4
@@mr.n476 No silly, it's just a screw up.
0:08 He didn't *win* 125 straight games. He played 125 straight games without losing, but that included draws.
"Actually..." Fell right into the Meme's Gambit.
@@iDannyism unfortunately Meme's Gambit Declined is not something you ever actually see, but is the best opening defense.
There should have been explosions in the background.
TOP G
Magnus knew the ending after his first move.
Catalan opening is mastered by GM Carlsen
It seemed like they enjoyed the game more than anything.😊
You commenting a chess game like someone is going to die in the end and the other one is going to jail.
there are a few moves missing that are interesting and those are when the queens were taken.
I saw this awhile ago, but the commentator... I was about to say Anna, she's awesome, but like single handedly bringing people into the chess scene? Oh... this isn't official content. This seemed too satirical and well done to be fan made.

At the same time, the black rook would control the 3(c) open column and the game could continue possibly differently.
I'm not a great chess player, just asking.
i wouldnt look at the chess table
Lol this is like one of those American Crime Docomantaries with the intense music and the commentator.
Subbed. - Brian
U should title this channel, Forensic Files Chess or something like that. U sound like one of those forensic files narrator. 🤣🤣🤣
Anna and Magnus can perfectly fine understand eachothers language 🇳🇴🇸🇪
What is a fighty master?
My dude commentates the chess game if its like a Action novel for god sake :D
He went easy on her .. a true gentleman!
Sounds like a national geographic comentary, “the lion cub is all alone and defensless, he may soon starve to death!”
To be fair, she never even put her purse down!🤣
4:30 why didn't Anna go for Ne2+ and fork on the rook? Am I missing something?
i noticed that too. but i think she didn't want to lose her knight, as if knight talked rook, then magnus's dsrk square bishop talked kniht. maybe that's why. OR THEY ALL JUST MISSED IT LOL
Doesnt rook just take?
i was thinking exactly the same thing lol, but no because there is a rook below that rank that can kill the horse
No if he takes the knight with the rook Rc1xRc8 with check then ohhh bishop takes back ahh I miss it yeah it's too bad to fork
It's an absolutely bad idea guys but it's fun to analyze by the way
Am i missing something here ,when he says tactics , i'm looking at the board, she puts her knight on E -2 its check and the rook has to take then she take his rook and its check . Stop video at 4:24
And he simply recaptures with the bishop.... Ne2 Rxe2, Rxc1 Bxc1 and she is down a piece
Action chees. Love it!
Plot twist: the narrator is the best chess player
he started coaching her the moment he knew he had won. these people think 10 moves ahead. amazing.
I like how they're comparing this to sport commentators and I am comparing this to YuGiOh.
where are the queens after 4:20 ?
Are you sure magnus didn't mean Nd2 when he mentioned tactics? That move forks the king, rook, and bishop.
That move LOOSES the knight!!! Look at the rook on b2....
felt like been watching some criminal documentary.
They should probably have a chess super-baby lol
Le ha pegado una PALIZA.
I love how INTENSE this narrator is! 🤨
Anna and Magnus can learn a lot from this narration.
4:26 why not Nd2+, then Rexf1 +, Nexc4. She'd have gotten a rook and bishop for giving up a knight.
Even if the King goes c1 and captures the knight f1 rook can check and trade rooks and she's still rook knight to his double bishops.
Are you serious??? Ne2+ Rxe2 and she is DOWN a full piece. You blunder a lot, right?
So you loose when you can't trashtalk your opponent....
You should have named it:
How it got Destroyed by Magnus when I can't trashtalk!
Anna
You've done it again. "Because this is a 3 minute blitz match, the stakes at extremely high". What are the stakes? What do they lose?
She's good !
Video skips over the queen trade.....
I want to challenge Magnus
4:27 and how about knight to e2 check?
The rook on b2 simply takes it... you are very low rated, right?
@@TheRomanianWolf 😆Around 900, just thought that black could take rook at C1 but I didn´t see the bishop protecting that square.
@@peazomanco9178 you should see that without seeing the board (and play a whole game without seeing the board).

as long as you don't move your king or rook you can castle

Annoying zoom effect on board all the time, can't watch it due to that sorry.
was 3:14 really a compliment. i feel like it could mess with her ego. not that it has but getting that compliment from a world champion has to get in a person's head, right?
this video is missing the most crucial ending moves lol
You skipped so many moves at the end :o
This is epic commentating. Great voice too!
Am I the only one seeing the fork at 4:42?
You are the only WEAK BEGINNER here, there is no fork, the rook on b2 controls e2.
It needed more cows.
Not sure this is a chess game or crime movie
he didnt win 125 games in a row. he didnt LOSE 125 games in a row. most of them were draws
