- This is a 2-hour bullet chess tournament, Lichess Titled Arena 4, I provided commentary on while specifically observing World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen compete. The Lichess Titled Arena 4 is held for titled chess players only, namely Grandmasters, International Masters, FIDE Masters, National Masters etc... Magnus Carlsen (DrDrunkenstein) was the top seed with a beastly 3006 rating. The top 10 players who entered this tournament had an average bullet rating above 2800!! This was the 4th "Titled Arena" held by lichess.org. Its $3,200 prize pool goes to the top 6 players, with 1st - $2,250, 2nd - $500, 3rd - $200, 4th - $125, 5th - $75, and 6th - $50. This tournament was played on April 12th, 2018.
I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.

Thanks for providing excellent commentary! It really helps make the event something special.
Lichess thanks for having a superb chess website with everything a chess player neede
:O it's the real lichess
Thank you. The competitiveness of this one really made it a blast to observe.
Now Lichess needs to host 4 player chess
Lichess invite Nakamura plz...that's the real deal
"Structure and a fork"
This is the top notch commentary I'm subscribed for.
Why when I decide to come to the comment section, he's saying this as I come across this comment
Xd
Dr. Drunkenstein sobered up just in time.
Only Jerry commentating Carlsen can persuade me to watch an entire two-hour vid.
Carlsen was streaming. I've noticed before that his playing strength suffers when he does that, because he has trouble handling talking and playing at the same time.
Last titled arena he had an 86% winrate compared to this times 75%.
I did not even notice this was a two hour video.
I enjoyed the crap out of it
Carlsens own stream of this is very good too entertaining and informative
During the 1972 WCC cycle, Bobby Fischer won 20 straight FIDE-rated classical games against titled opponents, a feat that has never been matched since. But here, Carlsen finished with 20 straight bullet chess wins against titled opponents. Very impressive.
Nobody beats IM opperwezen 20 times in a row.
But sadly beating him 19 times in a row is possible :)
@@AnTran-ie7vq yes... That was the joke. You didn't need to explain it
RIP Gokerkan... berserking against Carlsen lol
what time in the video is this?
found at 1:39:10
Carlsen has lost against berserking before in these titled arenas. In fact, he's been checkmated while being berserked against.
gokerkan got some massive balls doing that hahaha
Usually watch Jerry’s videos when I’m going to bed. Wasn’t expecting a heart racer like this one. Two hours later and I need to apologize to tomorrow me. Great commentary, Jerry!
Love your commentary Jerry! Something odd I realized about these titled tournies...I get a distorted view of reality, I see a 2500 and think, " Oh, a weaker player" :O haha
I know right. Beefy tournament for sure. 2825 average rating for the top 10 finishers. 😮
1:25:20 Magnus goes into beast mode for a 20 game winning streak! Basically he double adopted the whole titled arena! XD
I don't know what's more exciting watching Carlsen or hearing your great commentary great job!
This was amazing to watch live. Super tense and entertaining. Thanks for the commentary Jerry!!
1:06:03 "OK, now it is a pawn advantage. Black is up a pawn, black is up two pawns... No. This queen is an extra."
Fantastic comment but just a bit late to the ball game. Better luck next time.
Something was messed up in that game. It started 1. d4 cxd4 !?!?!? Someone explain that to me.
alonamaloh weird indeed
Yup, the interface messed up. The game was 1. d4 c5 2. c4 cxd4 [...] ua-cam.com/video/32A79jhXQgs/v-deo.htmlh11m41s
Somehow the server or the livestream dropped 1 .. c5 2. c4
cxd4. The game is here: lichess.org/DGT342Ue/black#0
It was a clever tactic with that nickname penguin, but it failed. :D
44:47 Knight is hanging, rook is hanging bishop hanging, what's not hanging? :)
This is such great commentary, witty and at the same time exciting....Excellent stuff Jerry :)
Thanks for uploading Jerry.
As usual, entertaining and informative commentary.
It must be as hard as playing !
I stumbled across Carlsen' stream, and it's funny that right after that move a3, which gave him 7 seconds pause, Till I Collapse begins to play. And after that - winning streak. Eminem boost
Am I the only one still watching these arena plays still?
I want DrDrunkenstein vs DannyTheDonkey
that would be cool to see...
He'd just purposefully scholars mate himself,,seems like something carlsen would do.
How could he play his self
DrDrunkenstein is danny the donkey
@Omar Greene: How does anyone play themself? -you really should know.
Really enjoying these videos and your commentary! Great content
Wow, this was more entertaining than a 2 hour movie! Thanks for the commentary, Jerry! The commentjerry!
Magnus is unreal. Love your commentary too man, you really are great at it.
Magnus Carlsen went on a tear at the end! 19 wins in a row and if you consider the very last game that they started with 1:07 left on the clock, but the opponent took a few seconds to decide to resign and it went over the time limit as a result, that would be 20 wins in a row. Impressive!
Just wanted to say, I absolutely love these kinds of videos Jerry. Might be my favorite kinds of chess videos there are. You provide very fast and interesting commentary, it is so great to see how these tournaments play out. Wish you were a real commentator at a chess event, might even get a face reveal ;)
Awesome video again Jerry, really enjoyed. I have a question though: how do you get all these nice images of the top players for your thumbnails without being subject to copyright?
I like both open file and open fire
Watched Magnus' stream, and your commentary is just as interesting. In some of the best games on each stream you both point out different things (you even caught one or two misses that Magnus went "oh damn" on after). Incredible that you insight so much in split-second time.
Jerry, this was fantastic commentary. Thank you very much!
You are doing a great job with this kind of vids. Love the content and the comment. Keep it up! Greetings from Argentina.
This was amazing to watch live!
Amazing video
thanks for the commentary, i never thought of exchanging pieces to demote the piece that captures it
I was glued to this the whole time. Shame I missed it live. Where can I check when is the next one?
Amazing commentary as always! By the way, you can also find the Carlsen stream of the tournament available on UA-cam. It's fun to watch the interesting games from both perspectives (kb4 was indeed a mouse slip).
26:31
Wow, stuff like this amazes me. How quickly Carlsen assesses this position, calmly responds with Be5. Amateur like myself sees this as very dangerous, cause I can't see everything so quickly. The queen and bishop diagonals, off-side rook cause of the mate threat..... Wow.
I watched this live yesterday and for some reason I'm watching it again. What an amazing event and performance from Carlsen.
Basically, Carlsen is playing drunk, so the game gets interesting by "sober odds", as he likes to call it.
Dude thanks for this!! Great commentary
You making chess like a basketball wit ya commentary bro. I like it.
What program do you use to record your videos please Jerry?
Jo Be Probably OBS
1:02:12 I was watching Carlsen stream, and that play wasn't really planed, he got lucky lol
The original stream is on twitch. No link in the description?
Hilarious how Magnu's was just fooling around until the tournament was almost over, you can tell the moment he gets serious because he just wins every game savagely!
I'm amazed how fast you can analyse these moves for me its just a blur of moves. Awesome Jerry thank you for making this video.
time for a little toilet break... 10min left, 4pts down, plenty of time..:)
Ice cold
Jerry your comments are the best awesome videos as always
Jerry you should play in the titled arena next time, it'd be extremely interesting to see you go up against the best
Best Commentary!!! MERCI JERRY!!!!!
What makes it more impressive was that the arena was filled with nothing but titled players. Quite a few GMs participated and Carlsen and CleverTactic still blew them away.
Carlsen was drinking Coronas on his stream, so he was playing intoxicated. That's why his scored sucked (that, and I've noticed that he usually performs worse when he streams).
1:05:46 Mystical new opening for black that uses 1.cxd4, but also forces 2.Qxd4. I think that d4 can now officially be considered refuted.
"CleverTacticButFail" is GM Andrew Tang. Seeing the Title tournaments, he does pretty good, but he this one was a really good one for him. Maybe he should use the new moniker more often.
I think one of your Best Videos
47:07 "I'm not on fire..." Yes you are, Jerry. You are the fire 🔥🔥🔥
I love to see jerry commentating on magnus games =)
reminds me of the tour de france. Early breakaway chased down by the top pro right before the finish
Liked the moment you called a pair of bishops, 'killer bees' haha
*SPOLIERS*
Skip to 1:25:15 to watch Magnus' epic come back by winning his final 19 games in a row after being down 26 points with only 35 minutes to go in the tournament.
Fantastic commentary
Pro tip. You don't need bathroom break if you have empty coka cola bottle or flower pot next to you
Did anyone has the link for Carlsen's stream?
1:05:45 I dont get that opening...
After pawn to D4, black played pawn to C5, then white played c4 and black took D4, white Queen recaptured and then knight to c6
Same. lol
The position didn't register correctly on the board, so a few moves were skipped out and Black's c pawn was still there (until Jerry refreshed it by looking at previous moves). But yeah confusing at first lol.
say what
1.d4 cxd4 ...
Okay, so apparently it was sicilian. 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 etc. just omitted the first two moves, some bug. fixed itself after a while.
excellent commentary
Epic. Strong finish.
I watched this tournament on Lichess earlier!! Magnus Carlsen had a rough time but won it all in the end.
Really a 20 game winning streak ? That's rediculous and amazing from Carlsen.
DrDrunkenstein was 6 years ago already. Damn you, time
Everyone is busy thinking about GM Tactic, but I'm wondering who GM Rebecca Harris is?
She has a positive record vs Magnus.
Not a "she". It's Naroditsky
i was confused too because there is WFM rebecca harris from australia on fide page with 1832 elo, they'll give title to anyone these days
Nice! Carlsen should consider always dropping a game in the beginning so lower rated professional players have a chance to play against him :D
Now this was super exciting!!!
After watching all of it, this might be the best chess video on the internet. Magnus Carlsen trolling an entire Arena into thinking they stood a chance against him. What a world we live in. Fantastic video Jerry.
Edit: You are adorable Jerry. Have my FIDE master babies.
Have a drink every time Jerry says "CleverTacticButFail".
What an awesome tournament very fun.
Wow Jerry! Just wow! Thank you for everything! You are awesome!!
ChessNetwork u should play titled arena 6 for sure.
1:21:41 Isn´t there a check on Nf3 to pick up the rook???? 27. Nf5 Nf3+???
1:51:29 Carlsen"s first timr at the number one spot
That's a ridiculous comeback! Wow!
Having a blast watching this at 2x speed.
Sound glitches towards the end are so annoying.
these are great
You're still the man brah. Keep doing your thing.
It's almost cheating to start a new account.
CleverTacticButFail has some 'easy' wins in the beginning compared to his real rating. See around 2:09, Tang started at 1500? rating. He even beserked a couple of the first games to get more points. I'd say it is an exploit and those few points could very well have determined the outcome (which equals winning $2500 or $500!). Lichess should have the requirement of at least ~10-20 ranked matches in order to play this arena.
Not really. It does place you really fast. However, you shouldn't be able to berserk until your rating is determined, to avoid easy extra points against weak opponents.
I just found out that only the first game is based on rating, the rest is based on tournament place. So then it doesn't really matter, except that beserking the first game shouldn't be allowed.
yeah that was the clever tactic. unfortunately for andrew, it failed.
He was just using clever tactics bro
Idc who you are - there is no advantage to berserking against a titled player lol. Even Carlsen doesn't do it in these titled arenas.
1:21:41 I am a few months late but isn't there Nf3+ winning the rook? Did I miss something, I swear when white moved the Knight I was like "Oh sick blunder" but neither jerry nor magnus did what I thought so maybe I am wrong?
Put the position into an engine and see what happens for yourself
I think I fell in love with carlsen here.
CleverTacticButFail was confirmed to be GM Andrew Tang, like to others can see!
Cole Goodchild That's surprising, his rating is on the low side for a GM but he gave Carlsen a run for his money. A bullet beast I guess
TheOpinionatedPerson check out their bullet duels. Tang had like 40% win rate against Carlsen with 150 ish games
why new account is he afraid?
When you're Dutch and you're laughing at seeing MeneerMandje in the standings :D MAND!
So many GMs.
48:29 "Call an ambulance, but nor for me"
1:03:04 just about minute for that game. Dear Jerry, bullet games are played in a minute mode :D
Each player has a minute, so that's 2 minutes per game, worst case scenario.
Also, there is a very small time increment of 0.04 seconds per move.
Damn that's a pretty tough field
First game and 15 sec for move „that position took forever, Its game over”
Amazing video
He came back!!!
That was exciting till the end
1:21:41 black move should be knight f3 check then pawn takes knight rook takes rook gg for black am i right?
136:52 This is bugging me so much, I paused the video to pay attention to what happened because it didn't look right to me, why did Magnus take knight with his queen rather than the pawn, was it that he wanted the queens off? It seemed good to me to still have the queen there forcing black to move his rook on A8 which would have given white another move for free so to speak. Can somebody explain what I'm missing?
Edit: I watched it further and thought about it more, a lot more than I'd like to admit. I'm not good at chess but love to watch and I've gotten a lot better at the analysis since watching all of these very interesting videos. Anyways, when Jerry says that's a nice inbetweener is the position where I think I figured it out. To put it simply, if Magnus doesn't exchange queens then move his bishop to the spot the queen previously occupied but instead he takes with the pawn, then immediately after his knight is captured black would simply move his A8 rook and win one of Magnus' rooks in the fork whereas this other line removes queen for queen, rook for rook and leaves doubled pawns from originally a nasty fork. If that's right I'd like somebody to tell me, if that is the case it's really crazy how fast Magnus calculated his way out of that trap which otherwise would have been game ending!
Edit 2: Gah I just realized I had something out of order because black still has time to move the rook before it's taken with the bishop he just chooses to save his own bishop from the 1st rank rook instead so with that being said why did he take with the queen, he could have done everything the same with pawn takes and had a much better queen than black?
Finally finished the game and this seems too well calculated from no time at all. Obviously, it worked out tremendously well for him so I guess that gives me my answer.
Come back of the year!
Great, great video.
is there a way Chess Network can go bak and give similar commentary but for CleverTacticButFail's games (andrew tang?)
nope
Your voice is so satisfying to listen to
Who is night king?
