I love how gentle and kind Wesley is and how he transforms into a fierce monster over the board. Gotta love this guy!
Wesley is a straight up assassin.
He’s a lady in the streets but a freak in the bed!
@@playermartin286 I SAID YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@@MrSpeedyAce
The way the commentator talks about the pawn structure like it’s the Philippines😂 10:35
wth was that 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, Where's he coming from talking about where he's coming from?
@@david29478 He was referring to the pawn islands! Or I suppose he thought of them as a pawn archipelago 😂
That rook sacrifice of Wesley is insane 😂, hope they face in the Finals
yes they do
@@chaosincursionWhat's up? What Day and time is the Match? Freeman.
The rook sacrifice was necessary because he will be pinned with the queen and king if he takes with bishop first
This is the best commentary I've ever listened too! The guy is knowledgeable and funny! "a Philippines set up and wesley knows the Philippines" 😂 greet casting, man!
he only prolly said that cus most filipino chess players love to use the basic checkmates moves. lol
@@imark182u not sure
@@imark182Basic?? I highly doubt. Filipino players are lazy and impatient. They will find 15 moves just to checkmate you.
He usually commentates in spanish
Not only game of the year, but commentary of the year
Glad you noticed that!
Bro. "that pawn structure look like the pilipines." had me frikkin dying.
"ewhat did you put in the coffee!?" made me laugh for sure
Pepe Cuenca crew ❤
"So knows how to deal with Philippines" :))) The GOAT commentator!
Thank you for bringing out new voices/faces to this channel. Great analysis and accent Pepe!
The commentator is the non-playing MVP here.
Amazing commentary, it's always great when good commentators give life to the games, of course these games are super entertaining to see but for a bigger public it's way better to have a commentator like this to go along with them
Yes, this is the game of the year. Wesley played wisely (insanely too) and bewildered invincible Magnus.
What a game!! And the commentator is really great. Thank you Pepe Cuenca! (and good accent)
Dude these commentators were going off 🤣
This is the Wesley we've missed! Enterprising and brave, and not overly-calculating to be always on the safe side of things.
The best commentary of the year for sure. dayummmmmm
Wesley So is the every hope of Filipino chess players, though he is not representing the Philippines, the whole country is proud of Him
Lol kabayan, he is representing USA po, eto nananaman tayong mga Pinoy😂 eh..
That was GOD level commentary!
I love this commentator! Funny and knowledgeable which keeps me hooked and entertained. Keep them coming!
He is a common spanish commentator
Chess is so interesting because of the commentator!!
We want you backk!!
This commentator is KILLING me 🤣
Big thanks to the commentator for acknowledging Wesley as former Filipino as he was born in the Philippines and by heart is a Filipino. This game is only our consolation after he was cheated in his road to the candidates. Fide is ruled by money and not by fair play and is corrupt.
What did you put in the coffee is hilarious.
8:19 wow some great insight I didn't even think about that
10:37 "The black pawn structure looks like the Philippines, so many islands. And Wesley So knows how to deal with the Philippines, right? Because he was originally from there."
Bro what is this commentary lol
Wesley after the game: I apologize for ruining your December 13th.
I think Soo has been Possessed by Mikhail Tal😂
8:19 RRRAATATATATATATATATA 😂😂😂😂😂
The battle between SGMs does not really disappoint.
The best commentator! 🧡
So far!
The commentator is absolutely unhinged. This is so funny.
Love that the commentator went into some calculations!
never underestimate the pawn push.
Wesley So indeed played wisely so.
10:35 And Wesley so is from Philippines 😂😂
I thought the the video is 3 mins i felt immerse with the game and commentary
Pepe on fire! 🔥
The knight sacrificed at g5 is the move of the year .😮.
Congrats SGM Wes👏👏👏We,from the 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 are very proud of u👍👍👍
Referencing the Philippines 😂
The best commentator ever 😂
i love this commentator, would like to hear more from him 🤣🤣
You would have to learn spanish
Wesley So joins other Filipino greats (Pacquiao for boxing, Efren Reyes for billiards).
When was the last time wesley represented the ph?
@@ardieversoza2070 Up until only 2014
Great commentary 🙏🙏💪💪
Amazing game, and great commentary.
A gangster move for no reason would be to circle white and then bid a really low time
Wesley is Carlsen’s nemesis for a few years now, but the Chess Federation would always make sure Wesley was not always included in qualifying as Carlsen’s challenger for the World Championship. They have different made-up methods for qualification that makes sure Wesley was not included. I think it’s too obvious Carlsen was being protected from losing his seat since he was a champion.
Well but the qualification criteria are set in advance. If Wesley does good in any of the qualifying tournaments or series, they can't stop him from playing in thr candidates.
@@indianfan1029 , yes, they know which tournament Wesley is so good at. The Fisher Tournament is where he excels. That’s one where a couple of pieces are switched. It takes away from memorized lines as Carlson is good at. You’d think that’s an import tournament to consider as Cess Champion.
My God, I never tire of seeing this game! GM So defeats GM Carlsen w/technical ease & a calmness unknown to most chess players. Again, it's only a matter of time before GM So is champion of all the world's chess titles! Tic Toc...go Wesley!!
Another fine win from Wesley "Lapu-Lapu" So against the Viking King!
Tal reincarnated.
Omg that was amazing 😂 as a 600 this blew my last brain cell
3:50 I just Simply Laugh There Because The Commentary
12:37 why he didn't take the pawn
Best commentary ever
Pepe! My favourite GM! Love your philidor course ❤
Magnus should have allowed the Magnus Sicilian.
In the mid game wesley already know that pawn a4 is gonna go for it,
Holy shit the commentary is hilarious.
So my question is the eval bar has the game very close to even chances even after magnus plays ...Qb6, so what is the continuation that keeps him from collapsing? What is the crazy engine line that allows him to move out with his queen and still be able to escape the attack?
After Rf6x Bf6 , h5xg6 , KXg6, , Qh6 Kf5, Rf1 Ke6 Rxf6, kd7, Rxb6, A7xb6 , interesting end game. A queen and a Bishop vs 2 rooks and a Bishop.
The tiny board on the side of the screen is a terrible idea.
commentary king🎉
I think when magnus takes rook by qf6 then next couple of moves will be forced checkmate for wesley if he takes g6 pawn by h5 pawn and finally qh7.. its mate
Wesley won because he played like MIKHAIL TAL.
6:48 isn't it mate if wesley h5xg6??
Grande Pepe, Ratatatatatata
Wesley So is moving closer & closer to No. 1 in the world. Wait & watch his progress...it's unbelievable!!!
White to captures f7+
Black loses g pawn with another check and White can draw with a perpetual check or capture a piece and/or promote a pawn to win with accurate play.
Magnus must like Wesley or something. 😊
fantastic moves by wesley !!
Magnus miss g2 cheekmate😂
Pepe is a beast
What a NICE, INSANE, GOOD GAME!🎉🎉 So many sacrifices in the game. So GOOD!
Pepe is amazing!
The sacrifices is fitted to the time control magnus is cannot analyze too long his time is shorter than Wesley.
Board way too small on mobile devices
I didn't know Donnie Yen is good at chess, just a few more years he might become a Grandmaster
I also see him that way.IP Man of Chess.
LMAO
Too bad, we won't see the greatness of Wesley in the Candidates. He's already 30. He's still got a shot at it when he turns 32, 34. Time is almost running out on his peak form - is slowly slowly declining, maybe. I don't know Anand's age when he defeated Kramnik. If Ding Liren is able to successfully defend his crown, then I want to see Wesley against either Ding or Fabiano in the 2026 championship. Dominguez and Aronian are still good both close to 40, but obviously not at their peak anymore. And then there's Alireza and the Indian prodigies. Go Wesley!
Well bad news. There is Nodirbek too, now. Also Maghsoodloo may turn into a great force soon.
Proud of you wesley So, Filipino blood🇵🇭 He merge to other international Team to compete hi level player.
I love Philippines 😅 Wesley your the man😊
He is not playing for our country anymore. Our sports association, specifically chess, fked him up big time by not supporting him. What an incompetent blunder.
More GM Pepe please!
Wow…… what an incredible game
Wesley is so good
Pepe Cuenca rocks big time!
So....what we've learnt today, is that Mikhail Tal would wipe the floor with Magnus. By far the best player of all time in chess.
Sad but true; Filipinos have worldclass talents.
magnus really love to wear that homeless drip in tourney 😆
8:38 why can’t Magnus take with his bishop??
It would have ended the game right there. Mag bishop takes then So bishop takes mag's bishop, which ultimately compels Mag to sac the queen anyway or he has to take the pawn on the G file: if not then So's G pawn would take the pawn over and check at the same time forcing the king to move to the only available space beside the black rook. Which ultimately leads to So's queen moving next to the king under the protection of the bishop thus ending the game.
Taking the pawn without sacking the queen would bear the same result as well. Hence 8:33 at this moment mag's move was the most reasonable given the circumstances.
Magnus vs IP man
From which day is this game from???????
2 days ago
As a Filipino American myself i really don't know whos side im in
wesley is literally filipino american and magnus is norweigan. Were you perhaps thinking that magnus is American?
Always see the move that you never seen ever when Magnus play...... Very entertaining game👍
AHH! Another Wesly!
The camera angle sucks...😒
Magnus pawns looks like Philippines so many island hahahaha
HAHAH FUNNY COMMENTATOR
Why isn't the board the main focus lol
🎉😂❤cingratulations wesly so😊
Where is the arrow ?. Commentary is confusing for lower rated player. No arrow, just talk....
Is it confusing to you?
Just learn the chess notation takes like 5 minutes
My most fav game 🎯
8:18 hahah
WESLEY SO!!! USA! USA! 🇺🇸
Put the chess board in the middle!
Good luck.🎉
The one that got away because of phillipine politics in sports
