      Because he keeps calling Carlsens H4 opening the "plow" opening, while the rest of the chess community calls it THE BOOMERANG OPENING, which is the correct and preferred name. If he starts using the correct term his follower count will explode.

    I'm not used to seeing such a stunning lack of confidence in an Epic Chess thumbnail. What's up with the question mark at the end of "Game of the Year?" Replace that question mark with two.. NO-- THREE exclamation points. Then follow it up with the B-word in all caps (underlined). It doesn't matter. All is forgiven because you finally used the word swashbuckling again. That actually got you out of your next few jams. Well done. This video had it all, actually. My favorite part was Kramnick's cameo.

    At the end Magnus could have played Qb7? If pawn promote then Bf3+ forcing knight takes Nxf3, then Qf3#.
    Alternate: Qb7 the Qxd5 followed by Qxd5+ Kg3 Qxd2.
    There is an escape for black with Qf5, but with time crunch, who knows what would have happened.

    Breaking News!! There is only one God; God Almighty. And He is the perfect chess player, but you and I , and the rest, are the pieces, and the globe is the board. Read the Bible before you stamp your feet and cry out, "But what about my Free Will?"

    No offense, but, maybe tone down the distracting humour? I think people coming here are mostly interested in chess and there are tons of comedians out there.

      I quite enjoy making videos in this style and having some fun with it to be honest, appreciate there may be a few who no longer want to watch the channel because of it but that is what it is I guess. I haven't found that there are many funny people on UA-cam actually in my experience of just browsing through channels, unless it is literally a comedy channels, most channels are very serious. Also comments and data seem to be suggesting that most people are enjoying this slightly altered style because I've never seen as much engagement in the comments before and never seen such high average watch times either. Sorry to hear not for you though!

      I enjoy the humor and I think that's why he has so many followers. Some days hes funnier than others but I don't have a problem with it. Im a casual I don't even play chess. If you want very accurate analysis you may want to check Hikarus' videos.
