This chess thing has really picked up in the last few years. I like how they took an online game and made the pieces and stuff so it could be played in real life.
@@kshitijshukla2957 No you did read it right, it was a joke my friend. No need to apologize, I was wondering when someone was going to pull me on it lol. I can imagine some people probably do think it is a recently invented game so I was just trolling on how dumb alot of people are. 😃✌
Unlike Magnus who trained through pure game playing and instincts, Anand relied on memorizing computer plays to use a computer to develop the best possible move for every scenario. They are two different playstyles. That's why this championship was such a big deal. It was a clash of the two top of two different play-styles. One of the past, one of the future. Past won.
Anand is looking like the hyper student in the very front row, all alone, sitting 3 meters from the professor away and sucking in every word the prof says
For anyone who doesn't understand why he won, its a 12 game series. This was a draw but that put him to 6.5 points because they drew 6 other games and he won 3 other games in the series.
Billy so isn't he world champion no matter what, even if he loses this game? Why are the commentators so excited when he wins this game if he's going to be world champ no matter what?
No this is the game that put him to 6.5. If he lost this game and every game after this one he would've lost the series. Drawing this game means he's the new world champ.
Billy i still dont get it. wasnt this the finale of the series? if he lost to this game then his score was 6/12 and anand's was 4/12 right? i still dont get it o_O
Mrs ChocReyy Ok, its a best of 12 so you need above 6 points to win, 6 each for a draw. Carlsen was at 6 points already and a draw is 1/2 of a point each meaning that he won the final.
TSRsoul Genjitsu I highly doubt so. Chess is relatively predictable at a high level, although many sports are. But let’s take football for example: we see at least a few big upsets at high levels almost every season multiple times. last year Barcelona lost a 3 goal lead to lose 4-3 to Liverpool, Ajax slew holders Real Madrid 4-1, and in individual leagues this happens too, holders Manchester City losing 2-3 to newly promoted Norwich. Chess...not so much.
+PoyrazThere are blunders in chess, but they are extremely rare. "anything" means something out of the ordinary, and on this level of chess it really doesn't happen often ( my guess(!) would be in about 0.05% ). Would you agree?
And after 10 years he is still the world champion, no 1 and still highest rated player. didn't even look back jeez. Now this is what I call a sheer domination!!!
@@ARS1508 No, it's a terribly sad statment at the state of the chess world right now. It sucks that a child prodigy who loves chess is getting fed up with it at the highest level. That is NOT good for the game at all. If anything it shows that chess is done, ai and cheaters are killing the game. Even if Hans didn't cheat, the fact it's on their minds to that degree is disturbing. When top players are finding new strategies by watching stockfish instead of using human ingenuity, the game is over.
@@reitairue2073 he has been vocal about his dislike of the world chess championship since 2013. Ever since he won he had been against the privilege that the previous winner anyway gets. I don’t know why you made up your mind that Magnus left world championship because he is bored of chess. He has given very detailed interviews about this concern and you should watch it rather than justifying the first thought that popped up in your head. If you are genuinely concerned that human ingenuity is leaving chess, I will again suggest a Carlsen match where he sacrificed the queen pretty early on, stockfish and all the other engines called it the losing move and he still won. I agree that world has gone to shit and it’s easy to be negative. But there are still some things which aren’t as sad as they sound. You just need to have the willingness to find the actual reasons and truths.
A new world champion! ..and all fanfare I saw was a handshake, signing papers, a man walking with his head bowed and another walking with a little smile.
MrKockabilly After he lost a 6.5 hour totally won game this week on time, because he didn't know the new rules, he was surprised for a few seconds and then immediately started to review the game with his opponent. Amazing.
That's BIG for us chess players. At least it is at the professional level. At club/county level you get more personal reaction some times. I've had an opponent punch the air when he drew a game I should have won, and a senior civil servant put his coat on and go home when it was his turn to move because he didn't want to resign against me.
1:12 I SWEAR everyone does this in chess Tournaments. Whenever your opponent is thinking for a long time, and you need to use the restroom, the SECOND you leave, your opponent always makes a move. There's always plenty of time, but it happens all the time at all levels
I was surprised to hear Tanya Sachdev commentating. I thought she was in her mid 20s but actually is 34 now. She's been doing it for a long time., and now I see how much experience she has as a commentator.
I remember Fischer talking about how some of the tournaments were organised poorly so in Berlin for instance he had spectators right next to the board smoking, getting their smoke in his face while he was playing, and here we see a soundproof glass between the spectators and the players, so it's improved.
Yes but I also remember Fischer cheering 9/11 and claiming the Holocaust was fake so let's maybe take his idiosyncrasies about focus with a grain of salt
I appreciate them playing down to insufficient material. It's a moment in chess history and it's made a little more satisfying by letting it just play out so clearly.
Yeah, I really appreciate Anand's sportsmanship here. He knew Magnus had won the crown, so he played it till the end to give him that final piece of satisfaction.
necku dart The woman said : omg he is smiling Which is pretty weird and dumb since what do you expect a person to do when he wins a championship To stay like a robot??
"But the game is not over and anything can happen in chess." I know that's a good catchphrase to use to appeal to the general populous to get them into chess, but that's just not true. Unlike in other professional sports, super GMs just don't lose clearly drawn positions or draw clearly won positions very often at all.
+Christopher Johnson Oh, ofcourse anything can happen, even to super GMs. Just yesterday Magnus threw an easily drawn position against Alexander Grischuk because he didn't calculate his move to the end.
+Christopher Johnson I have to agree with this other guy MW2hairbeRt. Before computers, large parts of the game were a mistery to humans, mostly end games. Chess is extremly complex, and while you're right that GMs don't usually make such bad blunders, for example as to allow a fork with a knight, they can slip in other things.
I would say a good analogy to losing the position Carlsen was in when they said that is the Miracle in the Meadowlands. Sure, it *can* happen, but it's not the sort of thing you should hold your breath over. Football teams just don't fumble snaps when they're running out the clock, and super GM chess players just don't lose clearly drawn positions.
This was just 2013 and it feels like it was played in the 90s. It's amazing how chess has since evolved, back then it was a very serious, boxy, old men game that was played in a library.The next tournament might be held as a e-sport like event, in amphitheatre full of screens and crowds cheering.
It has been played like that for a few years. There was a tournament in Madrid, I think it was, about 2016 when the players played in glass boxes so the audience could see everything live and on screens, and make as much noise as they wanted because the players couldn't hear them.
Yes, it's bound to hurt. But I think the last world champion to still be world champ when he died was Alekhine, and that was back in the 1940s, And even he had lost the championship to Euwe back in the 30s (and won it back a couple of years later). So world champions expect it anyway. Spassky said he was unhappy when he was world champion because the pressure of having to be better than everybody else all the time took the fun out of chess for him. So they win the crown, get a lot of kudos, and a shedload of money these days, and eventually lose it.
He would have felt really bad, but this was expected. Magnus was the favourite going into this match and he had been the best player in the world since 3 years prior to this.
It's so cool hearing Tania Sachdev and Lawrence Trent commentating this, way back in 2013. They've been supporting chess and helping popularise the game for so long. Great ambassadors for the sport!
Anand choosing to allow the removal of pieces on his last game as Champion and not resign speaks volumes to his already highly praised personality and character in the chess world, such a humble man.
dontzenyourselfout the verbiage is unnecessary as he was clearly just confused. I would argue that being "flabbergasted" was over-the-top, my interestingly verbose companion.
As a kid I pretended to know how to play chess with my friends, made my own kind of rules and won everything without knowing how it's really suppose to play.
i cried, bro. I read the headline in the newspaper and my eyes welled up. I was still a child and new to chess and my countryman lost the crown just after I started paying any bit of attention to the chess world.
This was so odd to watch. Magnus had just become a world champion and Anand was so close to attaining it and lost, yet both kept their composure as if nothing had happened. Is that shit normal in chess?
Anand needed 3 wins in a row, he was probably just playing to win what he could to limit the damage. Over the hours that the game progressed he would have seen his loss of the title coming.
First of these guys had just finished sitting in one place and doing tough mental calculations for 6+ hours. And ofcourse the crowd is shut away from them, they are kept in a soundproof glass room to prevent distractions. Considering the things happening, I would just be looking for a nap when finished. Secondly Anand was far from retaining his title.
I once had the same opinion until I realized a loss in any other sport doesn't come close to a loss in chess.. I think it's just good etiquette to not celebrate.
@@neeshdk i guess the reason is that it's essentially a brain game, and you ARE your brain. it's easier to see your body as something external - my body just couldn't perform like I wanted it to. but your brain is you. so when you lose, it's not your "equipment" that failed you somehow. it is your direct self. for this reason, the losing player's ego is more vulnerable. if this makes sense
Ironically you can win with a single knight if your opponent has a pawn, I think it has to be a rook pawn and the king's have to be in the right places too, so it's quite rare to pull a mate off like that.
If that had happened the only way for the game to end would've been with Anand resigning. That wouldn't have happened because I doubt he wanted to lose his World Champion title by drawing 6 games and losing 4. Since Anand took the pawn, the game was automatically drawn since it's impossible to check mate with only kings and a knight on the board, hence Anand taking the pawn was the best move to end that year's World Championship.
@@colinjava8447 yap. Also a king and 2 knights vs a lonely king is a draw, but funnily enough a king and 2 knights vs a pawn and a king is winning for the side with the 2 knights
I think that Vishy playinh into the draw was in itself kind of a moment of sportsmanship. Like he did not want to ruin the new champion's game by resigning.
This game was 10th game. 3 win for Magnus, 7 draw in total and zero win for Anand. Total score after this game was 6.5 vs 3.5.. Two games left, there was no need to play. If they would play and Anand would have won both games, Anand would have 5.5 points for 12 total games, but Magnus has already got 6.5. End of game.
I always giggle when I rewatch this, for some reason the commentary when the match ends reminds me of the last shot from the Cinderella Story scene in Caddyshack and I can't unsee it haha
As Tal said once “When you’re at the top there’s only one direction to go after that and that’s down”! That said, Magnus will I’m sure rule the roost for another 15-20 years before his descent.
I don't know what exactly you mean by "descent", but generally speaking no player (in modern chess history) was rated #1 beyond his mid-fourties. The oldest #1 was, i believe, Karpov, who was 44 the last time he occupied the top spot. Anand and Kasparov were a couple of years younger when they lost it. I'm sure Carlsen will remain in the top 10 for a long, long time, if he continues playing competitively of course, but as the world's #1 - no longer than 10 more years from now. I know your comment was 3 years ago, so let's add those 3 years and make it 13 : ) but that's less than 15-20.
One day, Magnus will lose the championship. But who knows when this day might be. He's been dominating the sport for a decade now. And he's still young. Just incredible.

The perfect final. Two kings in the chess table with two kings playing.
Never saw it that way. Truly legendary
The shocking moment in the game is 5:08
she is hot. that's all i got from this video...
Tania Sachdev. If there is any need for research
@@lightestiler1915 I was in the comments to find her name. Thanks man 😂
She's also a good chess player
BRUH
After seeing this, I was emotionally confused , I was happy for Carlson but sad for anand
i cried, bro. I read the headline in the newspaper and my eyes welled up. I was still a child and new to chess and my countryman lost the crown just after I started paying any bit of attention to the chess world.
True. They both are absolute legends both chesswise and personalitywise.
This was so odd to watch. Magnus had just become a world champion and Anand was so close to attaining it and lost, yet both kept their composure as if nothing had happened. Is that shit normal in chess?
They're low-key fucken dying inside.
Chess is a gentleman’s sport
Anand needed 3 wins in a row, he was probably just playing to win what he could to limit the damage.
Over the hours that the game progressed he would have seen his loss of the title coming.
@Håkon "Anand was far from *attaining* the game let alone his WC title" *retaining
First of these guys had just finished sitting in one place and doing tough mental calculations for 6+ hours. And ofcourse the crowd is shut away from them, they are kept in a soundproof glass room to prevent distractions. Considering the things happening, I would just be looking for a nap when finished. Secondly Anand was far from retaining his title.
0:05 Anand trying to find a way to hold together his falling empire. Man it was sad.
4:34 that euphoric smile on Carlson was
his name is Carlsen, not Carlson (although a large portion of his internet fanbase seem not to realize this for reasons i can only speculate about)
0:48 '12 is a fair number as well, it is long enough' 😂
"And the commentators keep..."
"The commentators keep talking over each other"
"...Keep talking over each other"
Bro can u explain why is he cant take the knight and make the game draw ?
@@ze3us577 it's already a draw
@@ze3us577 knight+king cannot mate.
@@Cnut_the_grape so how did he became chess wold champ ?

Please tell me you picked and ate both! I know I would have.
Accidentally clicked on a chess video and now Im binging Magnus Carlson
This was only the beginning of The King's reign.
first time im that early on a comment from you, guess im famous now
Why do I see you everywhere I go
@@princeky150 because you go everywhere he goes
😎 bruh
"and he's smiling" yuh cos this is a good time to cry
"He's smiling! He's smiling!". - It's amazing
As carlsen left the table,Anand quickly placed the queen to E3 for check..Anand considered this position for a long time already
The seriousness of chess is so good and cool. The winner shows his happiness at all competitions in the world but chess. So beautiful.
I once had the same opinion until I realized a loss in any other sport doesn't come close to a loss in chess.. I think it's just good etiquette to not celebrate.
@@neeshdk i guess the reason is that it's essentially a brain game, and you ARE your brain.
it's easier to see your body as something external - my body just couldn't perform like I wanted it to.
but your brain is you.
so when you lose, it's not your "equipment" that failed you somehow.
it is your direct self.
for this reason, the losing player's ego is more vulnerable.
if this makes sense
This hits a little different now. It was a good reign king, you will forever be one of the greatest of all time, regardless the outcome.
In my opinion it would've been more aesthetic to take the knight on the last move.
+yiuqwfj by the rules of chess the game ends automatically after Nxc5 since there is no move sequence leading to a mate.
ElderNerwal I’m pretty sure he knew that.
Ironically you can win with a single knight if your opponent has a pawn, I think it has to be a rook pawn and the king's have to be in the right places too, so it's quite rare to pull a mate off like that.
If that had happened the only way for the game to end would've been with Anand resigning. That wouldn't have happened because I doubt he wanted to lose his World Champion title by drawing 6 games and losing 4. Since Anand took the pawn, the game was automatically drawn since it's impossible to check mate with only kings and a knight on the board, hence Anand taking the pawn was the best move to end that year's World Championship.
@@colinjava8447 yap. Also a king and 2 knights vs a lonely king is a draw, but funnily enough a king and 2 knights vs a pawn and a king is winning for the side with the 2 knights
Even after anand loses and Magnus wins, they keep their calm expressions and then continue to go back to their studying.
It was so exciting, thank you @chessnetwork for the coverage back in the day.❤️
Nice clip you uploaded 👍❤️
I think that Vishy playinh into the draw was in itself kind of a moment of sportsmanship. Like he did not want to ruin the new champion's game by resigning.
the indian presenter is beautiful. damn i didnt expect that
Where did you see her?
@@babayada2015 very last few seconds
Trent and Sachdev‘s commentary made this event very enjoyable …I remember this, good times!
Amazed by Anand's professionalism.
Who is here after Gukesh winning candidates 2024 🔥
This game was 10th game. 3 win for Magnus, 7 draw in total and zero win for Anand. Total score after this game was 6.5 vs 3.5.. Two games left, there was no need to play. If they would play and Anand would have won both games, Anand would have 5.5 points for 12 total games, but Magnus has already got 6.5. End of game.
Just look at the scenes! That's passion and euforia in its purest form.
I saw it live, still can remember that moment. Amazing...
gracious Vishy
he is smiling!
michal234486 I love this comment
It can't be😂
I always giggle when I rewatch this, for some reason the commentary when the match ends reminds me of the last shot from the Cinderella Story scene in Caddyshack and I can't unsee it haha
Great work magnus .. simply magnificent 😂👍👍
The announcer girl was like beautiful lol. Magnus is a chess jock 😂
I think they need to introduce some spraying with champagne.
Crowd went wild and chess board was lava...atmospher unreal!!!
I watched this live, crazy it has been 11 years. Time flies.
Commentators: "Oh wow! I see the idea here! This is incredible! This is it guys!".
Me: "... How did I get here and what's happening?".
Then 20-30 years later, a new young prodigious talent will take the throne from Carlsen.
maybe this year
we will have to wait and see, Carlsen can always come back.. would be fun if karjakin won :o
Throne
*thrown*
I love it
Praganandhaa
Commentary was very good, too.
Lawrence and Tania know their stuff
Como se chama o nome desse tabuleiro de xadres que eles estão jogando, quero comprar um
Watching it today, the closing ceremony day to Ding Liren, the new world champion 😮
Magnus becomes World Champion
commentators at 4:43: He's smiling! He's Smiling!!
Me, a dumbass: Isn't he supposed to?
And Now!✨️
Chess is beautiful, expecially when you have a world champion that also is the best chess player in the world at the same time. I hope he comes back
And the crowd goes wild!
Uh..yeah
As Tal said once “When you’re at the top there’s only one direction to go after that and that’s down”! That said, Magnus will I’m sure rule the roost for another 15-20 years before his descent.
You are saying nothing new.
It's happening already
@@manasac3102 how come
I don't know what exactly you mean by "descent", but generally speaking no player (in modern chess history) was rated #1 beyond his mid-fourties.
The oldest #1 was, i believe, Karpov, who was 44 the last time he occupied the top spot. Anand and Kasparov were a couple of years younger when they lost it.
I'm sure Carlsen will remain in the top 10 for a long, long time, if he continues playing competitively of course, but as the world's #1 - no longer than 10 more years from now.
I know your comment was 3 years ago, so let's add those 3 years and make it 13 : ) but that's less than 15-20.
Tania has been present since so long😮
He said "It has to happen before 2020" ...
It really do happen
Best part starts at 5:07
At that position Anand could have sacrified the Queen and change the whole dynamics of this dramatic match!
Absolutely thrilled
What an achievement 😯 Magnus Smiled
0:08
Me after i blunder my queen and am only left with 2 pawns
0:20 Having more games would have only benefited Carlsen even more since he's much younger than Anand
But Anand does have enough experience with older long championships, unlike Carlsen.
We'll probably never know who would've have the upper hand
@@hairyputter5363 Carlsen dominated Anand. No chance for Anand
Im watching this high it’s so great
I cannot imagine how crushed Vishy Anand must have felt. So much of expectations at his home town of Chennai.
Magnus is an absolute legend.
One day, Magnus will lose the championship. But who knows when this day might be. He's been dominating the sport for a decade now. And he's still young. Just incredible.
It will probably be some 12 year old prodigy when he is like 60 or something lol
He will whoop Nepo's ass once again
