This was the best game I have every watched live. The tension, the clock running down to 40 move, the middle game, the strategy, the end game. BRILLIANT.
This isn't the greatest world championship game ever, but it's certainly one of the greats. It should also be pointed out that the previous longest game (Korchnoi-Karpov 1978) was adjourned a couple of times. It wasn't played all in one sitting like this one was.
Andrea was right when she said only Magnus knew how the knight moves because this match Ian missed that the rook was indirectly protected by the knight
@@louiscyfer6944 it was Ian who decided to go with that trade. He placed the rook over the queen and offered (almost forced) an exchange. Not like it changes anything, just that both players wanted to spice things up
Does the length of this match show that it's getting more difficult to win in chess with the relatively small move set (compared to Go) and the supercomputer training that they can both take advantage of?
To add to the previous comment: On such a high (human) level of play, classical Chess is going do be a draw-dominated time format, just because players rarely blunder. The mistake Nepo made is not an obvious one. Qe6 looks SO natural, and when under such time pressure, you trust your intuition. Would he have found Qb1 or Qc2 with more time? Probably, yes. But compared to his blunder in game 8, this was just a minor slip up which lead to devistation. For chess in general: Just look at the TCEC. Pretty much the only Enginges fighting for the win here are Leela and Stockfish, with Stockfish currently having the upper hand by quite a bit, winning the last Superfinal (Season 21) 56 - 44. Last time Leela has won was in Season 17. In this last Superfinal, Stockfish scored 19 wins, 74 draws and 7 losses, so a draw rate of around 75%, which is MUCH lower than in human chess. Keep in mind, their Elo is at 3637 and 3618, respectively. Humans most likely won't ever break the 3000 mark (or just because of inflation of the point pool, which is why ELO is not a good rating system).
Great job both Magnus and Ian. And we can't ever blame Ian for losing or blundering against this champion. Simply, because he's playing versus a BIOLOGICAL CHESS ENGINE. #The_Longest_Game in the Chess World Championship
I think the commentators were more excited about the record number of moves made than that there was finally a rare win in a world chess championship game
Our world champ pushed very hard on this game and did not let go. Very well deserved win against a vaillant opponent. I hope Nepo gets a revenge in this game so we get more exciting games.
I can watch this, and watch, and watch all the time. It's beautiful and terrifying at the same time how brutal chess is. Most brutal game in fight sports.
Why is Magnus Carlsen talking about himself in 3rd person? "Magnus Carlsen Won Against Nepo" i tought this was his channel? (I know someone else is running this channel, relax :D)
Nepo worked extremely hard until this moment, but it all fell apart. But from this point he spoke to his opponent post-defeat, was humble to his rival and in the end kept his humbleness when the media asked him all those degrading questions. He stood tall and answered them all. If that was Magnus, he would have shaken his head and left the zone within seconds within the first loss. At least try and recognize that part.
Maintaining absolute focus for almost 8 hours is out of this world, amazing game, amazing ending.
Yes, people don't realize the amount of stamina you need for that
@@jasonsmith4114 both of them burned thousands of calories, no kidding.
there are certificate exams out there that take even longer than that, check out the OSCP for example.

"Look at the bar, what's happening? Is Magnus winning?" HAHAHAHAHA. This lady is the representative of most of us casual chess fans
😂😂
The shout though ahahaha
Im so happy they display the bar, most times I don’t know what’s going on
@@josemanuico5613 it does help casual or new chess fans like me so I kinda like it

It is an honor to be alive in the same time as possibly the stronger player ever. Chess history was made today.
Yeah thats what some guy said 50 years ago.
@@God-o-Ameto- I know what you mean… there’s always a legend and record breaker in every era
@1 1 no ??? they learn from computers xD
The strongest
Some one said youre always alive during the stongest player. True, it's beautiful still. Fisher would enjoy Magnus and so would many others.
Congrats Magnus. I remember watching Fischer play and then Kasparov, and now I get to see the greatest of all time!
Well..ian deserve an applaud as well..he can defend the game for 130 move precisely..
Great game for the world champion 👍👍
Magnus showed his will to win, powering through fatigue and keeping his focus. That's what champions are made of. Awesome!
Magnus you have our full support, We want you to win the world championship. Best of luck!
I'm just glad this finals is so much more fun and watchable than the 2018 Caruana one. Can't really care who wins, it's just fun to watch.
who is this us you are talking about?
He is unbeatable ..
Two days later and i am still getting goosebumps. What an incredible match!
Magnus comes from another planet... simply the GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐
lol he is not GOAT far from it
@marko a big lol to what are you saying😅😅
Magnus is definitely a GOAT contender if not the GOAT
@@nihanahmed8996 mmm... well... 1. Bobby Fischer. 2. Garry Kasparov. 3 magnus Carlsen. Do you like that???
@@markozbunjol625 so, who is for you??? Pragnannanda???
@@salmanalfarisi9395 🤣🤣🤣
Nepo’s preparation is so much better than Magnus.
But Magnus is… Magnus. 💪🏻
His openings don't give him obvious and immediate advantages, but Caruana still says that Magnus is the best prepared.
Magnus was in fact really well prepared in the whole match.
4:28 the happiness when the game progresses. This was such a grind.
"The slow knife penetrates the shield."
Magnus watched Dune 2021 confirmed.

Watching this once more because it's so cool
This was the most tense game I´ve ever seen.
What a game Last night. Can't wait for next game. Best of luck Magnus! Regard from Bali, Indonesia.

Andrea was right when she said only Magnus knew how the knight moves because this match Ian missed that the rook was indirectly protected by the knight
Our boy sacs his queen,you resign. Not need to wait for 8 hours
magnus lost his queen, not Nepo.
hahaha yep Nepo should've made it easy on everyone lol
1) it wasn't a sac
2) it wasn't a loss either
It was an exchange. Two rooks are equal if not more powerful than a queen in long term
@@shivasurya7008 yes it was, but magnus gave up the queen in the exchange, these guys think he sacked the queen.
@@louiscyfer6944 it was Ian who decided to go with that trade. He placed the rook over the queen and offered (almost forced) an exchange. Not like it changes anything, just that both players wanted to spice things up
Andrea would be pleased to know that Ian knows how the knight moves
He does now...
Thank you for creating history Magnus 🤩🤩

its incredible what magnus did
Magnus is a chess god ... and he knows how the knight moves.
PLEASE do not put the game result in the title of the video!
Great job both Magnus and Ian.
And we can't ever blame Ian for losing or blundering against this champion. Simply, because he's playing versus a BIOLOGICAL CHESS ENGINE.

مبروك الفوز يا ملك 👑
Very fortunate to see such competitive play, good job!
Goat for a reason
Congrats! That was awesome
Este muchacho si comió sus verduras de niño, que concentración! Saludos desde Mexico
game of the year............... so far
When the commentators constantly interrupt each other, you've got too many commentators. They should only have one or two.
Living Legend 💯
Team Magnus , since 2012
Magnus since 2015!!
2013
Magician at the game... who surprised the world when they think its a draw.... brilliant way to take the lead...
Congratulations world champion
Congratulations Magnus
14:44 Oh how accurate...
Incredible!!!!!!!!
The champion magnus😚
history being made before our eyes
Also is this the same game 6 where he played c6 blunder?
Please, please stop putting spoilers in the video title. Some of us come here to watch the games the next day because we can't watch live.
Thanks Magnus for the push... If Ian came to play computer moves do this again... Next time 9hrs... 200 moves.
congractulations magnus although i was supporting nepo
Yes magnus the all father is with us u will remain champion till the end of time.
when nepo play Rc8 against the c2queen ，i guess nepo will stuck in the trouble game。imbalance position is sb‘s favourite stuff
5:50 - is the losing move for black?
Great game!...plus probably a bit of "writers cramp" from the move notation. LOL 8-)
Great blitz game
Magnus you are king 👑
That is a rare, but nonetheless very interesting and instructive type of endgame. The position was drawish, but not pleasant to play for Black.
Can't believe the commentators were shilling the course sales instead of analyzing the game the moment Ian played a losing move.
I was there :-) Virtually.
I can watch this, and watch, and watch all the time. It's beautiful and terrifying at the same time how brutal chess is. Most brutal game in fight sports.
Well played!
Good going, Magnus!
12:38 Why didn't Queen attack the Pawn ?
because h5-g7
@@justy303 Wow, thanks
11:44 wasn't E7 the best move?
We need a couple of bottles..each 😂😂🤷🏾♂️
congrats great games
12:03 my man almost dropped an f-bomb to 30 thousand people LOL
Why is Magnus Carlsen talking about himself in 3rd person? "Magnus Carlsen Won Against Nepo"
i tought this was his channel?
(I know someone else is running this channel, relax :D)
It's the facial reactions for me.
When humans resign these aliens still achieve a win
Magnus end game technique is just amazing
Cant stop watching this truly great chess
I like how they chose a bad picture for Nepo 😂
Everyone makes fun of Kaja but damn she sat down and watched this 8hr classical game with the rest of us lmao.
How was the pawn protecting the rook?
I thought that if this had been a draw, Magnus still keeps title? Why are they talking not wanting to draw unless it’s the last thing?
5:48 130... Qe6. The losing move (according to the computer)
After the game: putting both kings in the center, isn’t that a mistake? Indicating that game ended in a draw?
Congrats Magnus
Its official, magnus is a god
when and why did magnus lose his queen
Last fifteen minutes of breaking nepo
It's a moving castle
If we call this the greatest game ever and in a year or two someone plays a better one, weren't we wrong? Same for longest game ever?
Kado ulang tahun yang tertunda.
I hope nepo winning game 7. Nepo had better h2h againts magnus in classic game I think...CMIIW
good stuff!
I was mesmerised and I don't even like chess!
Magnus sacking the queen and still wining some lessons to be learned from this game
Nepo worked extremely hard until this moment, but it all fell apart. But from this point he spoke to his opponent post-defeat, was humble to his rival and in the end kept his humbleness when the media asked him all those degrading questions. He stood tall and answered them all.
If that was Magnus, he would have shaken his head and left the zone within seconds within the first loss.
At least try and recognize that part.
🐐🐐🐐🐐
That indicator was never on Ian's side and he started losing once he gave up his rooks for Magnus's queen.
he had a +2 earlier. pay attention.
Yes In the first time trouble both had winning chances. But magnus played so well after that.
Thumbnail is horrendous
Ian played a disappointing end game, he let Magnus' two rooks out play his queen and take his pawns like taking candy from a baby
Champions M.C 💪🏆
EVE RY SING NGLE MOVE LED ED YOU HERE
Why do you guys talking too much. Unnecessary. I can’t watch the game.
Sorry to say as a non chesser but esp in the endplay i do not get the impression both players are thinking much moves ahead.
