    My 4-year-old niece commented on the power of Carlsen's knight, recognizing the significant role it was able to play in safely shepherding the slow march of Carlsen's pawn pair to victory. OK, she said "I like the horsey" but I knew what she meant.

    Magnus' endgame is second to none. By eliminating the black bishop with his rook, he rendered Nepo's Queen useless, and gave himself an opportunity to move up the board, where he eventually saw the barricade that would prevent the Queen from saving the king. Brilliantly done by Magnus. Nepo played an incredible game. Too bad someone had to lose. Marvelous game!

    @duncankushnir4855 2 роки тому +1460

    The last five moves, Magnus was literally reading the top move off the tablebase. Unbelievable. And this was I guess the strategy... if you look at Nepo's 'mistake', he was in a situation where Magnus just had to play more or less understandably, but in every branch Nepo had 1 or 2 moves to save the draw, and many not obvious. Magnus just had to play, but Nepo had to come up with a stockfish move every single time, and he broke. Nepo was also amazingly gracious and nice in the post game interviews... he has done himself proud in this tourney, but there is a a reason Magnus has been #1 for so long... just that terminator grind.

      I thought the commentary was intolerable. The guys were way too absorbed in their own analysis and sometimes 2 and even 3 moves were on the board and they were still working through an outdated line I bet 95% of the viewers couldn't follow. The clocks were not kept accurately, and the live board position got out of sync from time to time. Most people watching are not at the GM level and the analysis I though was ridiculous; you've got to know how to read a room.

    I think Magnus was the ONLY person who understood this endgame. F. Caruana misplayed it while 'speculating' about continuations as a commentator 'on the fly' and played it back into a Draw while Judith P. as a commentator seemed to only be able to comment on the moves that they were making after they had been played and then agreed that Black looked too passive to win after the Computer Table Bases were letting all of us human beings know it was a clear Win for White. Nepo obviously didn't 'totally' understand what was required and other International Masters were commenting that if they were Black they would've lost this game as well. This is the Computer Precise Magnus Carlsen we have come to know. He is totally Invincible! Congrats to Magnus and Nepo on a Superhuman Game!

If Magnus gives you a queen advantage,you either give back the queen for a draw or stay with the queen and lose. Just like Mikhail Tal sacrifices, giving the opponent a piece advantage which slowly kills them

    What an amazing game. When Magnus was looking down at the board with like 1.5mins on the clock, Judit Polgar said on the commentary I was watching "doesn't e6 just win on the spot?". An electrifying moment after 8 hours of really brutal defense comes to nothing for Ian. Both players come away with great credit - Magnus prepared to take risks (the early pawn sac, the exchange sac, the queen for the rooks etc) and then impeccable technique to grind his way forward with that formation around his King, and Ian defending stoutly until the very end and then acting like a complete gentleman in the press conferences and interviews afterwards. I just don't know how Ian picks himself up after this though. To defend that well and still lose after 8+ hours and then get half a night's sleep and have to do it all again is just too much.

When the game ended, which would have been mid-evening in Croatia, I thought he'd probably upload tomorrow, since who'd even have energy to make a marathon video cover the longest ever World Championship game, and this video is almost 45 minutes. The turning point in this game I feel has to be trading two rooks for a queen. Two rooks are definitely better than the queen, and these are the sort of positions where Magnus would thrive. He's won games with much less advantage than this.
