In my entire life I've never seen chess domination like this

- This is honestly the most INCREDIBLE Speed Chess Championship (SCC) Domination from Magnus Carlsen that I've ever seen in my life. Carlsen destroyed Fabiano Caruana, making chess history as he didn't lose a single chess game to such a strong player as Caruana. Nakamura once did this against Hou Yifan but this was different gravy. Truly stunning from Carlsen, the GOAT.

Love it when Magnus plays the imbalance in the endgame. Rook&bishop vs a queen can be losing or drawn, but very rarely winning. Seeing him find a position with the Rook&Knight vs Queen to win is insane and so much more impressive to accomplish in such time pressure.
Yeah just so so good

years ago I have seen the english open with live comments by 2 very strong GMs - they pondered 10 minutes about a position - then found a move that looked good and discussed it for 10 minutes, still not sure if it is a winning move. Magnus has finished his game and came into the room. They asked him how he evaluates the position - he looked at it and in less then 1 second he made the very move and told them that this is winning.
His positional understanding is simply not from this world
Such a cool story yeah he is literally insane so innate
He just reads many books ;). I am not even sure what is a positional evaluation if it must contain tactical awareness:). How can one point of advantage win a game if three points cannot win
@@TymexComputing 3 is always 3. 1 can become 9
Been playing Chess since 1969. Not a GM but a huge fan since. Took 3rd place outright in 1985 in my one and only tournament (Wyoming State Open Section). Magnus is without a doubt the greatest World Champion all-time. Many reasons, no debate. Magnus is such a wonderful historical Champion on many fronts. Taking nothing from all others, but Magnus... your exposure, your insouciance, your promotion of Chess... you are without a doubt The Man! I don't think anyone of any credence can argue that.
@@danrieke9988 I'm sure he'll totally read this comment.
That they can perform like this on that time scale is just hard to fathom. It would be beautiful in a correspondence match.
This game reminded me heavily of game 6 against nepo last WCC. It was a rook and knight vs queen as well. Magnus is simply a beast. He squeezes games like no other. Very tough to deal with psychologically because you know that he is just simply better on all direction. GOAT!
Fully agree! I might do another recap on that game now you say it, so so good
Thank you for your beautifully paced coverage. It is great to follow and makes the whole game so interesting in recap.
No worries thanks a lot for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed and cheers for watching
Happy I checked out your channel, you did a very good job explaining the game in an informative and entertaining manner. Cheers!
Thanks Cenyon glad you enjoyed ! Cheers for watching
@@epicchess2021 EC, ditto above. My 1st view.
Really enjoyed this, I watch a few chess channels but yours gives a great deal more analysis explained simply enough for beginners like me, great stuff
Thanks a lot Ben appreciate the feedback! Cheers for watching
That last checkmate was beautiful !
Yeah my fave of the match 😁
This is one the most incredible games I've watched on your channel. Thank you for this. Truly. - The GOAT.
Oh cool glad you enjoyed! Yeah I agree, what a truly incredible game. Cheers for watching
I agree 💯
I will have to re-watch this, learning so much from this.
thanks
Oh awesome glad to hear! Thanks for watching, Efraim
This match was astounding. Had never seen it, thanks.
Yeah! No worries thanks for watching Erik
Enjoyed the content, mate. Thanks
No worries thanks for watching, Zach!
Brilliant reflex moving of the pieces Love it
Yeah such a Great battle! Thanks for watching, Michael
Incredible piece coordination.
Was so entertaining to watch live. I think the best game dominance at such lvl i have ever seen. He probaply could gott 23-3. But he played it safe sometimes. Hes new goal to not lose a game. Better play some safe games to make history. He took enough of risks in the beginning.
Best chess channel 👍 like the way u show time per move🙂👌🏻
Thanks a lot! Yeah I try and do that whenever it’s available, cheers for watching
magnus is a unreal in chess. no1 was get the triple crown ever and he made it 3 times in less than 10 years. what a beast
Yeah insane!!
You almost never see insane Paul Morphy-type games from Magnus. HOWEVER, He just plays the perfect move almost every single bloody time. He’s a monster!
You did see Morphy when Magnus was just a kid, it was a level he surpassed. Morphy was a genius but he stood on the shoulders of midgets
This is great great stuff. One of the most important things i've learned, is that i don't ever want to get forked. :)
Glad you enjoyed and yeah very true haha
My mind literally stops working when I see the clock
Wow this game was crazy, both great players
Yeah 😁
Brilliant analysts sir
Thanks Zana cheers for watching!
How do you even keep playing after a game like that..respect to fabi. Absolute madness!
Yeah agreed! Was brutal
After also winning both blitz and rapid he truly appears to be the GOAT of all time! Insane how he has won the triple crown three times now!
Yeah it really is! I did a video on that too. Thanks for watching, Link
The greatest of all time, of all time?
@@lucilledog8832 of all past, present and future time, through all the multitudes of dimensions!
@Link
GOAT = greatest of all time
Jfyi
@@goranlazarevic2613 Oh, thanks for letting me know! x.x
@1:16 after Knight F6, why doesnt Black take with Knight Pawn E4 ? Any disadvantage doing this?
Oh yeah you can do that it’s known as the open Spanish just a different way of playing but white will win the pawn back
Great stuff
Thanks Conrad! Cheers for watching
I watched the whole match and even his game against MVL. Magnus is insane and the GOAT
Always stunning to think how Carlsen's tummy tells him what to move many moves ahead of the stunners that we all don't see unless some prog whispers in our ear
Yeah haha he is insane
Tasteful outlay of the speaker's frame ... red shining light under the red word "epic" which fades into white light under the white word "chess" ... thumbs up.
Oh thanks a lot yeah tryna keep it simple! Cheers for watching
Outstanding! that is all that needs to be said.
YEah agreed ! Thanks for watching, Maurice
me watching this is like standing at the foot of the highest skyscrapper trying to work out whats going on on the roof
😆 haha nice analogy and yeah a bit daunting if new to chess , thanks for watching tho Dave
can someone please explain why 1:20 black doesnt campture the pawn with his knight? isent it free? or am i missing something.
Don’t have exact position in front but usually white can counter and win back a pawn or get a Big attack if you pawn grab too early
@@epicchess2021 thanks buddy, sorry very new to the game, :D
Superb commentary, I thoroughly enjoyed your analysis. I'm somewhere around 1400 and watching all those moves feel that I play those same ones! (apart from the really insane ones!) So why aren't I also a 2800?!
Thanks a lot, Jez. Yeah it's actually a real phenomenon that Hikaru was talking about recently that when you watch others play you see better moves but when it's your own pieces and decision making your play is worse, especially with clock ticking. These guys intuition is just crazy good!
@@epicchess2021 Lol :) That's good to know! I'm from/in England as well (South), happy New Year to you and I look forward to more analyses and commentary! Subscribed :)
And then there is the insane speed. It would tske me minutes to calculate every position. And even then not nearly as accurate and inventive 😅
I got confused when the younger magnus suddenly appeared in the video towards the beginning
Inspiring game!
Yeah 😁 thanks for watching, Alton
This is nuts
Thanks , nice grinding finding.
No worries thanks for watching
Of course, the players are stronger and the format is different but it reminded me of the Capablanca - Marshall (1909) Match where Capablanca dominated and Marshall just wanted to win one game to save a "little face". I think Fabi desperately wanted to win just one game but unlike Marshall, he couldn't! Fischer had swept the field in the Candidates Matches run-up to his 72 World Championship victory against Spassky but the Capablanca - Marshall (1909) Match had the same feel to me of 1-on-1 total domination. Marshall was never the same after that crushing defeat I wonder if Caruana will suffer a similar fate?
Great comment
Yeah amazing performances, Fabi had his own 2014 at Louis as well!
His mom wont let him depress ;). I like the look of Fabiano's face when he concentrates on the position :)
So true great granddad.
@@Theingthing-TIT I think there's an age shot in there...LOL
Sorry for the elementary question, but how are match scores calculated? I'm having trouble finding a good explainer online. Did they play the first two time controls eight times and the last control ten times, with each game scored 0 for a loss, 0.5 for a draw, and 1 for a win? So there were 8 draws and 18 Magnus wins across the match?
Each Category was given a Fixed Time.
The Number of Matches isn’t Fixed.
They could Play just One Match in the
5min and Waste the 90minutes
Allotted to that Category. 😊
@@johnnydoe3603 Ohhh, I see. Thanks for the reply!
Very well explained. Thank you.
Thanks a lot and no worries cheers for watching!
I know next to nothing about chess yet im intrigued
Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for watching
Mentally exhausted just by watching this
Haha yeah it goes quite deep if you don’t play loads of chess! Thanks for watching, Lou
Brilliant
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed!
Magnus is not a GM anymore he's a Grand Wizard appreciate the analysis great stuff
Haha yeah 😆 no worries thanks for watching!
If we are ever in a war with alien invaders, i would like magnus carlsen tell us what to do on the battlefield
Since 6:20 the e4 pawn is "en prise", why didn't Fabi piched it ?
ok i didn't see Bc2
Yeah and also before his bishop retreats to e6 it would be hanging on h3
Those pre-moves were stunning. Magnus predicted he'd save his queen, but he didn't.
Yeah he was just over powered in this match! Thanks for watching, Dexter
Holy smokes never seen a more powerful knight
Did Caruana miss a devastating queen/bishop fork at min 4:02, Kd4?
Bummer he did not play it. I wanted to see that one play out.
I think they may have both lost their queens or Magnus lost his. I don't know.
I don’t believe so I think this game was pretty flawless from Magnus!
bishop is covered by pawn and knight, so no worries there. Queen moves to take the other knight for free.
If caruana plays that fork, Magnus could take the pawn on f7 with his Bishop, deliver check, then after the king moves, either take the knight on h5 with the queen or the bishop before losing his own knight, ending a pawn up with an exposed king for black. Definitely better for Magnus there.
Fascinating how Magnus is an extreme CONCEPTUAL chess player. Since there is no ABSOLUTE way to Award Greatest Chess Player 🏆 I would submit that Magnus is the most INTERESTING Chess Player of All time. As a VERY Conceptually oriented person myself *I'm an obsessed Art Theorist with a Unified Field Theory for Art wherein parallels to Chess Theory inevitably occur* I've always been fascinated by Carlsen's self-described Conceptual Chess Orientation. One of the recurring themes for Carlsen *in some all-time great games* is when he Sacrifices his Queen AND then a bit later ends up with a configuration of pieces and pawns that operate like some freakish SINGLE Amorphous Swiss Army Knife CREATURE ...
1. The Feature Game Here
2. Game 6 of the 2021 WCC
3. MY Personal Favorite, A game against Giri in which Carlsen sacrifices the Queen pretty early on for some pieces in one of this past year's on-line rapid tournaments *I think you may have covered this one*
Carlsen has amassed so many games that are Absolute Aesthetic Masterpieces ...
Also, Carlsen is the Genius that most fully appropriated and incorporated the new ideas 💡 gifted to chess by the A.I. chess entities
Invariably the Chess GOATS are CONCEPTUAL MONSTERS ... Magnus just happens to be my pick for the
BIGGEST CHESS CONCEPTUAL MONSTER🏆
.. it even seems he used this talent to score a number one ranking in the Premier League Fantasy Football ⚽
Firouzja strikes me as someone from that Same PLANET 👑 AF and perhaps some of the other young players ... perhaps ..
Yeah agree with all that! Thanks for commenting. I know the giri game but dunno if I covered it maybe I did tho. Yeah his innate ability is just insane such harmony and precision timing in everything he does. What’s so impressive is the play in low time as well
This good
Love the idea of analyzing when these guys are playing with less than 5 seconds. I'm 2k rated and I couldn't play this well if I had 1 minute a move.
Yeah same here haha they are insane
This is nuts😂
Crazy game ..
Yeah! Thanks for watching
I would need 2 yrs on the clock to play like that.
Haha yeah I could never reach that level no matter how much time I had 😁 thanks for watching, Neil!
Same here. Maybe writing it all down, filling books with possible strategies, outcomes. Insane they do it in seconds.
This endgame is like the one he played against Nepo for 8 hours
That was one of the greats games I've ever seen in my life it's like if you could sum up his whole career style in one game that would be it for me! Yeah this one was really nice too. Thanks for watching, Shaun
Magnus is the best. An example of what being exceptionally gifted and having the means to be able to utilize all of today's available materials and tools to master a discipline. If only Kasparov or Fischer had the same amenities.....or Karpov !!!!
Yeah he’s been able to blend it all and become a beast very impressive!
God damnit!!!!!!!!! 😲😧
The world's superpowers are
1. Magnus
2. USA
3. China
😂😂
impressive
Thanks for watching!
What used to be known as brilliant strategy from now on shall be renamed to goat sacks!
🤣 sounds good to me
Nice
Thanks for watching!
How does the clock go back up?
It’s called increment, they get 2 seconds back every move
@@epicchess2021 cheers. That makes sense!
Brutal Magnus.
Yeah such a beast! Thanks for watching
7:50 omg that was better
😁
Please help me to unterstand. Why didn't Magnus take the queen at 12:22?
They were pre-moving at that point. Very little time and he had already blitzed out his move! But it was defo best move! Thanks for watching
@@epicchess2021 Thank you for the explanation
Magnus didn't want to win because of his opponent's blunder, so he gave him some leeway and continued to win as he had planned.
I'm curious, why didn't Magnus defend his e pawn and why didn't Fabi attempt to capture it.
I think was a bit hard to do so basically so he focussed on running the outside passers. But yeah a lot of subtleties tbf, maybe he could have in some lines
great game indeed. Magnus has another game where he sacs a queen vs anish giri. it's maybe even better.
Yeah love that one I think I analysed it before but if not I’ll do so soon
Is that all clear now?
King Magnus!!!!!!
😁
0:20 where is he from guys ??
Me or someone else? I’m from U.K. 😁 thanks for watching
Hi sorry complete novice here, what happens if clock runs out ? Game over?
Brill commentary btw.
yes and you lose UNLESS your opponent doesn't have check mating material
Why didn't Magnus take the queen at 12:20?
Sorry don’t have position in front of me
Can anyone explain it. I would also love to know it
@@s7evin79 oh yeah I think he was just pre moving was all. Or else he would have done but only seconds on clock!
The Magnificent Magnus
Yeah such a beast! Thanks for watching, Gokulan
Take hold of yourself
😁
13:57 How is the pawn pinned? Idk chess
The pawn can’t take the rook on e4 because otherwise the rook on f8 would take the king
I wouldn't even find many of the strategies with normal time. Magnus is chess god.
Yeah what a player ! Love his games. Thanks for watching, Martin
Does not seem like domination to me, but equal vying, apart from the final score of course
yeah this game was balanced but more the total match score
Excelent commentary…
Thanks protoword! Cheers for watching and commenting as always
Hey wait, they do all this in a 10 minute game? Can't believe in that. How is that is even possible?!
yeah these guys are incredible! Thanks for watching
Who won the event?
Hikaru beat Magnus in the final! Really great final, did a video on one of those games too. Thanks for watching
@@epicchess2021 Nice. A good redemption for Hikaru.
5:38 - why not Bxc4?
The tempo on the queen is important or else the black rook then takes on b2
Magnus is brilliant but it is surprising that a 2800 player can make such a basic mistake. I was watching the game live and the commentators were saying that this would be a mistake but he still made that move even after thinking for 15-20 minutes.
What move are you talking about? This is speed chess at a 3min+1sec time control. There wasn't 15-20 minutes.
Just starting: Ohhh, please do not add all of the "Or he could have done this, or that" that YT channels love to do,---and let me watch these masters at work with out interruption of the masters moves. Just thought of this: It is like watching the top two guys racing hard, a banging each other all around the track while leaving the pack, and the 23rd place guy is yelling "Watch me! Watch me!!" :)
Like this one too. Bummer.
Yeah I get you and some channels do that where they just show the moves no commentary but they don’t seem to be all that popular, most people want a bit of explanation as to why they played certain moves I think. I try not to go too off piste tho like you say. Thanks for watching anyway!
What if black didn’t take queen and took bishop instead with his queen?
I can’t quite picture which position you mean sorry for you have a time stamp?
Where are you from? Your english Is perfect.
england?
@@cardigan3000 we can' t know my friend, he probably can came from Quebec...
@@claudioliccardo458 im british so i can tell he is
I would say Home Counties in England.
thanks a lot! Yeah not too far from London, just north!
No 1 dominates like Magnus. He is GOAT.
Yeah overpowered ! Thanks for watching, Ashish
at one time i thought magnus was playing black
What anti-cheating measures did they have for these online matches?
Players are in different locations (own homes?). No sign of an arbiter.
So how can we be sure there is no cheating going on.
To put question into context. Do you think Fischer would ever have agreed to play in such conditions against players from the Soviet Union?
Why would you compare classical chess of 40 moves in 2\12 hours to 3 minute chess? Are you insane? by the way Magnus is better than Fischer.
@@jimhemphill2841 From your reply I assume you do not think cheating is possible due to it being such a short time limit. You seem to forget we live in a very high tech world and it is well known that money and prestige also increases the complexity of ways people are prepared to cheat. It even can involve countries. Look at East Germany and the systems they had in place while competing in the Olympics. Or maybe Cycling and the systematic cheating that went on there.
All I am asking and it is only a question, is what anti-cheating measures are in place? I am not suggesting these players are cheating.
If you read my original question properly you should notice that you addressed not even one of my points. Yet you cheekily question my sanity.
Also, you state as fact "Magnus is better than Fischer". Even Magnus would not make this statement and would acknowledge that you can not be definitive when comparing players from different eras.
I know your statement about Magnus being better than Fischer is actually true merely by the fact that Fischer is sadly no longer with us. However, I hazard a guess that you were not meaning it in that way.
To put a little more context to why I ask the question.
I have watched several hours of various online tournaments (when the players are at home) and have not heard the commentators talk in any depth about anti-cheating measures.
However, in tournaments were it would appear to be much more difficult to cheat for example the Sinquefield Cup (and other similar tournaments) it was much more obvious that there were anti- cheat measures in place.
We see the players being scanned/searched and phones handed in etc. Plus it was a topic the commentators spoke about endlessly.
Cheating in blitz is incredibly obvious
@@permanentlybored195 You are essentially telling me that cheating is so obvious in Blitz that there is no need for any anti-cheating measures at all other than what we can see here?
If that is the case then it would be incredibly easy for someone to cheat against you under the same playing conditions we can see here.
What is illegal move brother
A move which you can’t make basically! Against the rules
Caruana had 2847 elos and Carlsen only 2830? That means that Caruana was exceeding Carlsen at a time. I've never heard of this till now.
I just honk this might be rapid or blitz rating or something as Carlsen has always been ahead on classical

Instead of the move ...Rd8 (don't know the move number), Stockfish at depth 54 says ...h5 is -1.51. So really Caruana was winning this game.
...Rd8 gave up a fair bit of black's advantage.
Yeah defo ahead at a few key moments! Thanks for watching, Arthur
Magnus is clearly crazy good and world champion...why is Fabiano's rating shown here higher than Magnus's?
Not sure actually that is what was shown on chesscom must be their online rating
