love how it takes a minute to analyze a move that took less then a second to make.
Hopefully was too boring!
@@epicchess2021 not at all! You did a good job of balancing the analysis of the game and keeping it moving forward. There were a lot of moves in this game and you covered it fairly quickly, while I still feel like I learned some things that I can improve my game with. Subscribed!
Makes u wanna understand how fast and how powerful human mind is...
and decades of experience to even get to that point
With engines almost anyone could analyze lines.
The move is at 8:40
🔥
Thank you
i love u
thanks mate
Thank u
this truly is epic! the way Magnus manuevers these endgames is impressive. I like how he finds these unintuitive moves so quickly during timepressure but i guess it comes to him almost naturally. Theres an interesting video where Magnus goes through different endgames with John Bartholomew and he says he doesnt even know the rules of the endgame but their just obvious for him. What a talent!
Yeah agreed so impressive! Thanks for watching
@Karl with a K you mean to tell me that Magnus Is not talented? Why doesn't anyone practice as hard as Magnus then and be just as good. I'm not saying that he doesn't practice, quite opposite, he practices as much as anyone but he's certainly a gifted individual
yes. he won against anatoly karpov at child age.
You are quite instructive. Thank you for not butterflying into too many lines. you stayed congruent with each line and kept it all tight and glued together. Well taught. I learned a lot from your review of the game, esp how to move the king more effectively during the endgame.
Thanks a lot, Jess, appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed, cheers for watching!
Have to agree, your explanation of the line is incisive. A few variations for fun, but this is different ❤
stepping the king aside first before moving in is something I never thought of
magnus is insane at endgames. The way he converts draws to winning endgames against literal super grandmasters is unbelievable. Also I love your commentary man, really educational and easy to understand.
Thanks so much really appreciate it
Magnus is insane in everything not just endgame.
You always say “brothers” for the knights, and you are correct to say so.
Truly impressive. And here I am failing sub master rated endgame tactics after staring at them for a couple minutes. I feel like Magnus has such a clear vision of the state of the board which allows him to do such precise movement during time pressure, all result of a crazy combo of talent, hard work, resolve and love for the game. Genius!
Yeah he is insanely good!! Thanks for watching
Magnus's end-game is SCARY.
Very helpful in breaking down the options, awesome video
Thanks a lot!
I feel like g5 at 8:40 should be routine for a world-class player. I didn't spot it, but in hindsight it's pretty obvious. What's interesting is that Carlsen missed the most direct win, which was 1. g5 hxg5 2. Bxg5 Bd8 3. h6! immediately (thanks to the engine for that). ...Kd6 at 9:46 is a blunder; Caruana should hold with ...Be7.
Magnus asked me what move to make that time. You’re welcome Magnus, keep killin it.
Drama King Magnus's end game tactics are masterful, even under timed pressure he's cool calm collected and laser focused.
Thank you. Very instructive. Some of the best game analysis in a while.
Thanks a lot Paul!
Of course it's much easier to find the move when someone says "and now an amazing move comes!" :)
Am learning a lot just by watching your analysis. Very instructive
Oh glad to hear! Cheers for watching
Beautifully analyzed. I learned a lot. Thank you!
Thanks very much appreciate it, cheers for watching
Truly instructive game, now the question is how to spot moments like these in my own games?? Specially in the end games - which are never the same...
At the point where the commenter says that the engine says that the position is even, and then Caruana plays Ke5 giving up the c5 pawn, it seems that almost any other move is better. White needs to show a plan for progress if Black just keeps the Bishop on the a1-h8 diagonal and moves the King around d6-c6 protecting the c5 pawn.
great commentary, thanks for sharing :D
no worries thanks for watching!
According to the 7-piece tablebase, the position at 11:56 is a draw with perfect play. From there, Ke3, Ke6, and Kd3 are all correct but, at 12:05, Caruana plays the losing move Be5. Instead, the only two drawish moves would have been Be1 or Be2.
Thanks a lot!
This looks like the exact same opening these two played the 2018 world championship. You even made a video about it.
thanks for your explanations!
Thanks and cheers for watching
The first GM I ever beat was Jan Gustaffsson in a simul some months ago, and if he had played on in the endgame, despite being down the exchange, I was sure I would've lost that position due to the gulf between us in experience. When the time ran out the position showed -2 for black but there was no clear way forward. Great feeling to beat a GM but if he had time I'm sure he could've salvaged it in the endgame
You played a timed simul? That's unusual
@@orendafni iMs and GMs host these simuls on Lichess and occasionally you can get a game against a titled player by looking for them in a simul like this, we played along with maybe 11 others.
Oh nice work! Still a very good result well played, didn't even know he was doing simuls
@@epicchess2021 You can find titlerd players hosting simuls on Lichess quite often, there is no greater feeling than the first time you realize you've beaten a titled player, like the first IM or 2400 level player, it is almost enough to make a man change careers haha, nah, couldn't do that, i want it to remain enjoyable and the moment it becomes a job, i feel like it would be much like writing is to me now, just what i do to make a living, put my son through college and pay my bills. It's not the same kind of passion when you're 38 and have been doing that-thing-you're-doing for 21 years. I started playing chess in 2017 after I was in a serious car accident, and while I did physical therapy I would play chess with my physical therapist and gradually realized I had a pretty intuitive feel for the game, after all it is just math with extra steps :P cheers man, thanks for being cool enough to talk to your viewers in the comments. It's something I've always tried to do over at our channel - it's some real nerdy shit haha, cheers man, love ya vids. I wish you would evaluate user submissions, I have some absolutely mind-melting drunken-ninja master tactics at my best, very interesting stuff, I hope you're well mate
3:32 “both players have completed development” - with 2:52 left on the clock
Yeah haha so we’ll prepared!
I love your explanations, subbed
Thanks a lot appreciate it!
The level of detail u explain every move is why I subscribed
Thanks very much appreciate it!
Very awesome video. I love chess but have few friends that enjoy playing it. Love seeing the grandmasters slowed down game and explained like this. Great game
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed and cheers for you watching. At least you can play people online really easily even though not many of your friends play
This is an idea from a smyslov study from the 1950s, Hikaru used a similar idea in 2012. This double pawn sac is nothing new (reference, Johan Hellsten’s “Mastering Endgame Strategy”) So Magnus was probably looking at this idea the whole time
Yeah absolutely and thanks for the references!
I quite enjoy your game reviews.
Thanks a lot! Cheers for watching
Nice analysis. Wrt …Engine analysis after King takes e4 pawn… If you analyze it with Lc0 engine, it correctly shows that as soon as King gets to h5 square it has an 83-17 advantage. White maintains this advantage as the King moves to g4.. f4 and then captures the pawn on e4.
Excellent explanation for my slow mind!!!
Thanks a lot!
New sub here! Nice job on focusing on the played lines, instead of showing a dozen variations which sometimes get a bit annoying.
Thanks very much appreciate it!
what was supposed to be blacks move after bxg5 at 9:25 ? u can see the eval bar drop for white after that capture so guessing it was a blunder to the computer but fabi didn't find i guess
Nah, it's just the usual engine-time. You put in a move, the engine starts to evaluate every move, and first thinks "oh, I can take, I'm up 2 pawns" - then it continues with this line, sees that five, six, seven moves later the pawn will advance to a queen and you're down material. It's not like there is a winning move for black, it's just that the engine takes some time to evaluate/calculate the position. A really, really short time, but for a quick second the eval bar changes.
No way that this guy hearts everyone...
Oh wow. Cant believe i got the exact same solution as magnus in that endgame
Amateur player here, very instructive! Thank you
Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed!
this is insane
2:52 appart from two pawns and a rook, position is symmetrical 😨
Another endgame masterclass!
Nice awesome match! During White opening, I don’t understand the logic of 3rd move white bishop to b5, threatening the knight-I always do that also by the way 😂 but 100% of my game that black a6 pawn steps forward so bishop retreats. That I don’t understand the essence other than that fact that bishop was able to roam.
I don't like the knight on f6.. KEKW
I am a novice and don't understand why Caruana doesn't take on e4 with his knight (f6). Can someone explain to me why that is a bad move?
You would have to give a time stamp, the knight and pawn were in those positions for like the first 4 minutes of the video. If you're talking about the very beginning, before it was defended, 1:09 until the a and d pawns began to move, i can't tell you why Fabi didn't take it, I would assume he just didn't want to go with that line. But its not a bad move at all as far as I know. Computer seems to think its fine, but not one of the best moves. My guess is that the knight is just in a vulnerable position there with no defenders. There's really not a piece on the board the can go to defend it, (the d pawn would be hanging, and the f pawn would open up the diagonal for checks and is normally a horrible idea to move early in the game before you have castled. So it can be easily kicked out by white just continuing his development, meaning fabi just has to move the knight again at the cost of developing another piece. Really the only thing I can think of, but im not that good either, so if there is a tactic im missing, someone should feel free to share
@@griffinq8003 Thank you so much for your comment. That makes total sense. I was, as you guessed correctly, referring to the beginning of the game before the pawn was defended. I think the extra move with the knight, and falling down on development against Magnus isn't the best way to go. As a novice I tend to take too many pawns that are 'presented' to me without thinking about the consequences.
I think it is because at high level u play after already established routines quite often, especially in the first half of the game and hope that the opponent doesn't remember the or figure out what u are going for, in such games 2 moves for just 1 pawn isn't worth it when u are giving the opponent 2 extra movements to get pieces into important positions, white would immediately move a pawn forward to threaten the knight which would have to move back and then white has another move to get ahead of movements for the usual tactics I would probably go for the pawn since I am an intuitive player and just having the advantage of one less pawn for a diamond formation always makes it more interesting to see how the game developes from there 🙂
9:26 according to the evaluation bar that was -4,7 for black? (fabi) did we miss something there?
Oh I dunno maybe it just messed up because Magnus was always winning I think
@@epicchess2021 I see!
damn that's a freaking great game !!!!
Beautiful content❤
Thanks a lot!
The move they're talking about is at 8:37
Why can’t we sack the bishop at 8:41 ? I’m trying to figure out y it won’t work but it looks perfect to me
Sorry I can’t recall the details!
He did blunder a Bishop soon after but Fabi didn’t take back
I give that a solid 6/10
Goated 🐐
i am pretty sure you posted this like 20 times already
Different game! Similarly thumbnail though you’re right, I’ll mix it up next time , thanks for watching Karath
8:39 why not the more aggressively Bh6? Then after pawn is captured, follow it with Pg5. Either the f or h pawn would then be unstoppable.
Yeah you are right with it all if the white pawn starts running but if black plays fxg5 and you therefore start running the white f pawn, the black king can get back just in time
@@epicchess2021 Oh yeah i got it. Thanks
Next video less scenarios and possible Moves and focus more just on the moves they actually made
Thanks and noted yeah I do less now these days
Nice Video, thanks!
no worries thanks for watching
I think I'm misunderstanding the rules here... what happens if time just runs out? If that makes for a draw, Caruana wouldn't have had to resign.
Right, so /each/ player has a clock of their own, which records the amount of time they have left. Each clock starts at 3m and ticks down, with 1s added to a player's clock every time that player makes a move. Only one player can lose on time. It's not like, say, basketball. So if you bleed down your clock, you're only disadvantaging yourself, and you could even lose. Make sense?
As Sheryl says, but if you have no pieces left and your opponent has enough pieces with the capability to checkmate (e.g. a rook or a pawn that might promote) and your opponent loses on time, it is a draw.
@@sherylbegby Yep, that helps a lot, thanks!
@@EdMcF1 Quite right!
Danny is a (T) Resch talker
After Kd3 Be5? is a mistake. Black can draw with ...Bb2 or ...Be1and the white king won't be able to enter.
ah I maybe missed that one! Thanks for pointing out
Go Giri
6:39 does it sound like a song or is it just me?
Same 😅
together they make danny denial
Magnus is not human
The clickbait titles are naueseating
Oh sorry to hear! I like to think i follow through in the video in what the title promises broadly speaking
Unless I missed something in the title about Levy Rozman becoming gm then I fail to see any clickbait. 📍 pin-o-shame!
What clickbait?
I do like the Chanel name. Idk it has a goid ring to it.
Thanks a lot!
Man this Danny guy... I feel like a internet troll for saying this. But everytime i see something with him, he says something really arrogant. "Danny finally doest know what to say"
Before black resign why not king to d8 for bishop exchange and draw?
Sorry I forget the position!
You kept saying that Carlson had the white pieces but on the side of your board you show him as having the black pieces! This is extremely confusing.
Yeah sorry I was having a nightmare this game! Thanks for persevering…!
A drawn endgame against Magnus is not a drawn endgame
All pieces other than the king are female. Because a pawn can promote to a queen, pawns are female. And because pawns can be promoted to every other piece except a king, all the other pieces are also female.
Why not Bxh6 and after g×h6, g5? Looks even more convincing to me.
Oh maybe that way too I forget the position sorry!
Why not a bishop exchange at 11:11?
Loses if White takes Black bishop as recapturing pawn promotes. If Black takes King has to go to a5 and takes 10 moves to promote a pawn, but in that time White gets a Queen in 6 moves by taking on f6 and promoting, so White gets the Queen first.
@@EdMcF1 I was actually thinking black would make the exchange but he had just explained that earlier. Thanks!
Really instructive for us lower rated players
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!
Cant we just see the game without all the possibilitie of could haves?
I’m working on it in newer videos!
Naaah man, I played a game in my first tournament against a 1730 FIDE rated player as black without opening prep and the position after the opening was almost identical to 2:55, I feel smart now
Haha that’s pretty cool
Haha that’s pretty cool
With all due respect this move was nothing too extraordinary compared to the rest of his endgames. Great content though!
True
Yeah how he won it was amazing, thanks for watching, Aryan
10:42 M29 💀💀💀💀💀
So you didn't explain which move was the GOAT move?!
Sorry the pawn move!
yeah, it's a losing position, but does.it matter when both had 3 seconds left?
A player of Fabi's calibre should be able to draw he ending after Kxf5 if the computer says it's a draw. Poor technique.
Yeah agreed!
Wow
😁
you ever hear the term, "just the facts mama?"... nobody wants to hear about the billion other possible combinations this game could have went.
I'll bear that one in mind for future!
11:44 Be1 wouldve been his chance to draw I think
Wow. Unbelievable....it's insane how these pro's play with literally like 2 or 3 pieces and they make another player resign....what the heck :P !
I was told the white knights were always third cousins. Thanks for clarifying.
🤣🤣
I finally guesses the 'which move', from one of these videos at 8:42. Yes!
Nic work!!
The most wonderful move in a bishops & pawns endgame was made by Alexey Shirov against Topalov in Linares’1998. When you see that unreal Ah3 (!!!) you realize how magic is chess. This endgame by Carlsen was very good but nothing extraordinary compared with many other endgames played by him along his succesful career
Yeah and I covered that game recently 😁
Levy ruined chess videos for me... I saw the thumbnail and thought "oh look, more clickbait" until i realized it wasnt a gotham chess video. Lol. Pleasantly surprised
Thanks Robert!
Chuck Norris can mate Magnus in 1 move.
😂
You do know that Goats feeds on actors and legends right? Norris wouldn't stand a chance. Steven Seagal on the other hand, you only see a glimmer and you're gone.
Lame joke, go back to 2007
Your engine depth is too low and deceiving cause magnus played the best moves in that endgame
Yeah that is defo a problem at times
I thought he would take with the bishop :)
Yeah!
Kinda obvious move, I don't know why they all say it is amazing. Any GM should have found it. Fabi blundered simply.
Yeah overhyped a bit true !
Is this just commentary for people who know nothing about chess? If you don’t know the Ruy Lopez opening, don’t waste your time watching videos.
King if aiming at a middle rating viewer with these is my plan
Ngl I just want a heart
haha thanks for watching!
not impressed. I can;t wait to play Fungus
Carlsen gave up any right to be considered in conversations with GOAT after his atrocious treatment of Niemann
Yeah I know what you mean, I didn’t like that either, tho I’m referencing chess but true all aspects are important
Niemann’s been suspected of cheating by many masters before that scandal even happened lol. Don’t know how a guy who has a history of cheating being called a cheater is “atrocious”? like no one cares about that old drama anymore
This is mentioned help you. 3000 visit your site, only a couple hundred stayed,change your speaking style. Use periods,don't sing-song your voice. You got great content,lots of experience.
Oh thanks a lot! I’ll have a think about that, one of the trickiest things is adjusting what comes naturally but always appreciate when people give me these little tips, cheers for watching
@@epicchess2021 It works for me, I wouldn't want you to change anything, great analysis, entertaining.
Awful video btw.. the whole premise of the video is the move and u start the video from the very beginning, give no type of explanation on the move, no idea of when the move should be expected.. no reason to watch this entire video..
Fair , appreciate the feedback , for real!
Looks boring to me. Like most Magnus games. Incredible games rarely can be seen with pawns only. No cool tactics, nothing fun.
Boring, but effective! Most of his opponents try to play as solid as possible against him, and he can patiently outplay them all by maintaining a tempo advantage and consistently testing them throughout the game. Even if he loses tempo or even the advantage, he still finds a way to force his opponents to find 1 or 2 precise moves in most positions and earn their victory the hard way. Magnus takes what his opponent offers in big tournaments, so if you watch him and Hikaru, you will see many tactical games and exciting/creative moves. If you want creativity and excitement, watch his less serious games he plays while streaming. You can’t fault the man for playing winning chess! If he plays too creatively, he leaves the door open for these super GMs to get a distinct advantage. He’s playing Fabi in this game, do you expect him to open with H4?
@@kennethkretschmer1027 if i want to see someone consistenly and boringly destroying opponent i would watch stockfish or alfa zero. magnus is nowhere near them. but chess is a game, and first of all its value in its beauty. carlsen is not capable of those, so...
If your title is "GOAT Move", then what is the point making a 13:22 long video? Doesn't make any sense. Your videos in most cases are unreasonably long and the way you present them is extremely boring. Sorry to say that, it's just a personal opinion of mine, no offence.
No offence taken I always appreciate the feedback! Yeah I do do some shorts as well at times just literally showing the move. With longer ones I’ll always be showing the whole game really. Thanks for watching anyway tho
@@epicchess2021 Thanks for your reply! I assume as a youtuber your goal is to increase the number of your subscribers. If that is the case, I think you should put some serious effort in making your content much more entertaining. Reaching out to those viewers too, who are interested about chess as a game in general, but not necessarily want to watch you analizing chess moves straight for 13 minutes in the exact same tone. I wish you the best.
10:39 ... why I'm not a great chess player... I would have never thought of this in a million years. Well, maybe in a 30 minute game if I ended up here with 10 minutes on the clock. Still... not so sure.
