games like this, at least to a lowly 1300 player like me, just highlights how far and beyond these players skills are to me. so many of the 'only moves' i did not see, nor considered. this is a very good game to learn from. thanks as always man
I’ve been playing chess my entire life, and at 60 years old, I’ve always been a low-rated player. Whenever I watch someone play online and explain their thought process, I feel a spark of enlightenment and newfound confidence. Inspired, I head back to play a new game, only to find myself lost as soon as I start moving the pieces. That sense of clarity vanishes, replaced by a cold, overwhelming darkness, leaving me feeling as though I’m wandering aimlessly in the woods.
I hear you, because I feel pretty much the same. But instead of comparing ourselves with the world's top players we might as well enjoy the walk in the woods and respect the beauty of our environment, looking at what seems to be the wrong path with humor and compassion by finding a new turn or valley or heights or whatever :-) Happy trekking!
@@jimbalbier8526 It seems there was a misunderstanding. My comment wasn’t about comparing myself to world champions or even other players. What I was expressing had nothing to do with the game itself or my skill level. It was about Jerry’s ability to shed light on the thought process behind the moves, helping me see the game in a way I wouldn’t have on my own. I feel the same way when I watch Eric Rosen-it’s their commentary and insight that I find so illuminating, not the competition or comparison. I’ve been playing chess since I was a child, and I’ve never felt the need to prove myself or be better than anyone else. I’m a low-rated player, and I’m completely fine with that. I play for the joy of the game, not to chase ratings or victories. For me, it’s always been about the experience, not the achievement.
Amazing how many blunders I would have made in Carlsen's position. Brilliant game by Carlsen the endgame virtuoso! How can anyone compete? Thanks Jerry!
You know, what's interesting? I just watched your video on how to checkmate with a bishop and a knight, released 13 years ago. And then i got this one in my recommendations and clicked just to check is it a new video and is your channel still alive. And i was pleasantly surprised to find out that it is! Amazing consistency through all these years. Thank you for your content and knowledge made available and preserved here for all people.
Hi Jerry, at 13:33, doesn't Rh1 also work? The idea is when black attacks the knight with Rd4 and white starts pushing the pawn, he should be able to land a check on the back rank and promote so that the queen is in time to stop back rank checkmate. The problem with Re1 is the bishop blocks the rook from going to the back rank. So, shouldn't Rf1 or Rh1 both work here?
Great game, Jerry...and your insightful explanations were excellent and very instructive, as usual! But I do have one question. The title of this UA-cam video is "Carlsen breaks So's Petrov's Defense". But from what I saw in the game, Wesley So really didn't lose in the opening, but much later in the game. In fact, Wesley missed a few opportunities which could have changed the end result!
The Petrov Defense Game always goes on by the psychological perspective, usually always by the black team that starts it first. It may be for that reason that this defense was invented, but in the end it's the one who plays the most precisely that won the game. And as always that Jerry has excellent explanation to coverage this game
That’s why I’m not a fan of the Russian Defense: Too many precise moves to memorize at the beginning; too much precise calculation in what usually turns out to be an early endgame. It’s too much for my limited ability; but even among professionals, as here, there is a stark, dull feel to such middle game as there is.
Idk why his Voice, Jerry reminded me with my gaming friend from California We've been friends and even best friend for 3 years but sadly i didnt notice enough about his retiring from game and i missed him so much :(
Computer analysis at depths up to 71 ply show that this game is actually 100% best play by both players from 3...Nxe4?! (Petroff: Damiano Variation) until Wesley misses 24...Bc6! (only move not losing, but then White is just slightly better). My gut feeling is that Carlsen was fully prepped for this perfect play line and was already anticipating that mistake because it had all been played before!
What is amazing is how Carlsen seems not to care about the back rank weakness because he trusts his calculation. I would have instinctively made a hole for the king long before.
He is far from 3000… 2831 Classic, 2825 Rapid, 2893 Blitz… A 3000 PERFORMANCE rating is not super unusual for tournament winners, Carissa Yip had a 3100 performance rating before she lost the first game in the U.S. Women’s Championship
thx 4 all the vids over all these years
It goes both ways. Thanks for your support all of these years.
thanks for supporting our support all these years jerry

Don't feel bad. I'm rated 2200-2400 online depending on the time control. I would have blundered multiple times in this endgame. Cheers!

There are so many "only moves" and perfectly-timed sequences here. It's an exceptional game!
Thanks!
Thanks again Steve for the $1.99. I appreciate the Super Thanks. ❤️
99% accuracy with an average centipawn loss of 4. Wesley might just as well have been playing Stockfish.
Thanks for sharing Jerry!
👍😎

I'm not gonna question Magnus' 99% accuracy in this game 😎
Holy shit!
99% accuracy and in such a complicated endgame.
Spectacular thanks Jerry
👍
7:35 I did not spot Rh8! I had a feeling there was a way out of that skewer but couldn't find anything. Didn't consider the back rank at all
When Mag is , "ON," Forget abot it !
Awesome! Can’t wait to watch this one. Thanks for all these amazing videos Jerry!

Thx for another great video!

I put a like to the video before i even start watching
Thanks for your vote of approval. 😎

He makes it seem deceptively simple with his elegant play. Thanks Jerry.
Loved this one!
Very nice analysis, lucidly explained the ideas , thanks 🎉❤❤
Thank you
That’s why I’m not a fan of the Russian Defense: Too many precise moves to memorize at the beginning; too much precise calculation in what usually turns out to be an early endgame.

Im not a fan of this variation in the russian defence. Theres a reason why d6 is main line.
Magnus on fire.
Great video again Jerry.
Really cool game! Thanks for sharing!
Watching your videos has not only improved my chess game but my enjoyment of the game as well.
👍 Good to know 😎
i miss the videos where you live comment online tournaments :(
Such excellent content
Thanks Jerry!
I recall even Bobby Fischer had a problem solving a chess puzzle involving a bishop only move. Sometimes the simplest positions are hard.
Thanks Jerry

Will you make these videos on the upcoming Ding vs Gukesh championship? Cause that would be very useful for the learners like me out there
Yes, I’ll cover each game with a video.

Can you draw this position against Leela?
7k/7p/R6p/2N1b3/8/4p2r/4K3/8 w - -
Refreshingly non- hype 👍🏻
What is amazing is how Carlsen seems not to care about the back rank weakness because he trusts his calculation. I would have instinctively made a hole for the king long before.
Congratulations to Carlsen for reaching 3000 🎉 A worthy game to scale this new height!
God, he is getting close to a Machine lvl😅
Actually it was just a performance rating, but nonetheless he quite the beast
Yeah, as Daniel said, i believe it was his performance rating in the tournament! Godlike
He is far from 3000… 2831 Classic, 2825 Rapid, 2893 Blitz… A 3000 PERFORMANCE rating is not super unusual for tournament winners, Carissa Yip had a 3100 performance rating before she lost the first game in the U.S. Women’s Championship
Wow, Carlsen is a machine!
99!
❤❤
I love discovering all the conveniently "timely" responses that white has when Magnus saw them 5 moves ago
Hi Jerry.
I like @Jerry
Kramnik is very suspicious of this game
Impossible..noone can break so,s petrov defense
