He is the best in the world for a reason! I have lost count of how many times people say the other top GMs are "this" close to magnus but never beat or reached his level. He is truly the goat for me alongside kasparov and Bobby fisher.
That's the difference with Fischer, though strong he dominated 3 years. Magnus IS at the top for 13 now
@@floriangailliegue6760 Kasparov was World #1 for more than 21 years...
@@floriangailliegue6760and Magnus has stopped playing classical... so by that metric, Carlsen will never catch Kasparov.
@@tonyl7000 he played classical last month ! But yeah, less time World Champion for sure. The dominance of one or the other 13y or 15y are such that they both are in contention for the Goat. Fischer cannot compare. If it weren't for the US/Soviet context of Cold War I bet his name would not come up nearly as much
@@tonyl7000Emanuel Laskar remained World champion for 28 years so according to your logic he must be the true goat😂😂
2:56:00 Levy interviewing Magnus
Thank you! Magnus looked liked he was enjoying himself until the outro.... 😑
“Now get out of here” Levy never fails to make jokes at serious interviews
Thx man
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT THAT'S WHY HE'S THE MVP THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOAT... THE GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
Always great to see Magnus further cementing his status as the GOAT. Congrats to Magnus on the win, and congrats to Wesley for a well-fought 2nd
Magnus isn't and has never been the GOAT.
your such an idiot. the only other person who comes close is kasparov. they are both the goats of their time. its the same as trying to compare lebron and michael jordan. you cant because they didnt play against eachother in their primes. but magnus is undoubtedly the goat of the 2010's-present and likely the 2nd best if not the best of all time@@AlbertChang17

This is a way better format than the FIDE Championship. Much more exciting to watch, more interesting for the players, novel decision trees generated from shorter time control paired with the playoff format. Glad we have this series. On that note, great production work for the event coverage. Especially with the pub crowd interspersed with the quality commentating, the fun and creative interludes, the graphics -- it all feels more like a sporting event than chess has ever felt. Kudos to the team.
I prefer 45/45 than this time control or time control of WCC
@@parzival2114I agree
the leg falling off the table at 1:20:05 ☠
nahh 💀
Nahhhh💀
Nahhhhhh💀
Y'all wrong for this🤣🤣
hahahaaaaa
That was extremely confident win for Magnus. He wasn't even close to getting into trouble for whole tournament. Only Fabi was a some challenage but still 2:0 on sets.
Fr only fabi made things a little more complicated for him
Lost to Wesley in round robin and was outplayed against fabi in 1st set. Magnus fan
@OkaySweetheart He already had 4 points before lose. From the perspective of the whole tournament, the loss in the round robon did not threaten him in any way from the point of view of advancement. It's chess, you can't win every game. Sometimes you lose. Important is when you lose and how lose will be impact to you and your performace.
@@mireky971spot on
@OkaySweethearttf you reading? He was never in trouble of elimination is what the comment was saying
Love the way GM David Howell and GM Robert Hess comment the matches. A lot of common sense. A big like and encouragement to keep doing their work!
3:38:59 You could interpret it as “Both pieces are forked” or “Both pieces are f&$ked”. Either way it would be a fitting end to this tournament!
As someone said once, every tournament Magnus play he has an advantage, cause he doesn't have to play Magnus 😆
your talk is baseless and has no basis
but he is speaking truth @@valezeb

The best moment - Magnus being presented with a photo of a trophy, which is the actual trophy hahahahaha
wesley is classy as always even in defeat (cheers!)
This was my first ever chess tourney and I'm glad it was reccomended to me, I got totally hooked. I do wish producttion would be better about showing the board bigger tho.
Wtf is that trophy!!! Never seen anything like that as a trophy 😮😮
Really looking forward to next saison! Amazing work, great success!!
Why is the main camera always centred on the players and not the chess board. Can't even see the chess board
Congratulations Magnus. First time I follow the tour pretty much live. Thanks for the show.
Welsley played with fire against Magnus. Magnus played with Wesley's soul.
2:19
A great tournament from Wesley! It’s a shame he had to run into Magnus 😂
Fabi, Ian, Ding are really close to Magnus if he is having a “BAD DAY”
Karjakin had the closest WC match by a longshot. I'd include him as well.
Yes
@@bubsadoozyTrue
2:56:56 🐐🐐
Well, Wesley getting his rook trapped like tht was a 1500 level error. But then, when you have got too many combinations going through your head,& you have 3 minutes left on the clock,against Carlsen,its easy to mke such a mistake
More like 2400 level error
Wesley did that cuz he was the last hope for Magsey trolls 😂
He had way more time than Magnus, it’s like he forgot. Look at the time at the end. And then he plays knight to e4 instead of b5…
@@light-water he had more time,but his position wasn't easier to play.he got surprised in the opening & got into a scary queenless middle-game.
A blunder is a blunder..no matter how high rated u are..if magnus blunders...it is still called blunder.. there's no such tjing as High rated blunder..coz blunder itself is a mistake
Ok, so what's the deal with the trophy???
Watched and loved every episode! Magnus is just unstoppable!
Paper/NFT Trophy... omg... thats weird....
2:57:30 magnus giving hints that he is not earthian.
Good luck to both!
People were complaining it was %75 carlsen before the event It turns out they’re right
Amazing stuff GOAT....
Is there a place to download the games played in the tournament from the beginning to the last move of the final set?
He's at a different level . Very hard nut .Only fabi managed to give some fight. Congrats magnus.
Just get Naroditsky to cast every event.
They are frightened of playing him. Hes truly the GOAT.
Well done, levy. those guys are goons. and so jealous of you. you smashed it. can you do a video on who those guys are???? nah we don't care 😂😂😂😂😂
KEKW only a real hypersimp could praise levy even in NFL Championship 😂
igniting the games with great tension and control of nerves that's one great endurance talent of opponent by Magnus.
What a game! congratulations to the GOAT!
Great video. Thank you. Magnus has not comparison in History.
wesley truly is a man of honor
Anti Spoiler Comment
John C Reilly vs Lou Diamond Phillips. Cool!
Nice Levy < this interview is interesting !
1:20:41 Bradley Steven Perry on the other commentary?
God damn what a game 4 by Stocknus, Magfish
3:47:50 After his win in game 2, Wesley said he was in a bad mood since it was a horrible game, despite him winning. Kaja mentions that here and you can see the disdain in Wesley's face. It's not always all about winning. These guys want the best chess, and it shows.
2:07:00 another technical fkup, at _exactly_ the most exciting moment of this final. Congrats, guys. How do you do it?...
Levy interviewing Magnus is the best thing ever
i wish we could hear what the players say after their match. i know its not a normal thing to hear, but it would be a nice touch. even if they decide to just not say anything (if they know it will be recorded).
Imagine my surprise when I see Nintendude pull up. Where’s the crt?
02:56:00 Magnus and Levi
What big hearts both these players have!
MAGNUS= 🐐GOAT
Levy did that "get out of here" with magnus omg.....😅
Top-notch coverage!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Magnus my Guy Love from 🇰🇪😊Exemeplary Chess Player.
Which country is that
Come on guys, hands in your pockets while in the award ceremony?
Best trophy ever seen
I love Kaja's firm handshake!
2:15:56 Bro, you're STILL an IM 😂. "When I was an IM..." This guy! 😂
interview in the end very good! 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I ve seen so Much pain to magnus.. so much.. it’s so challenging bro.. it’s hard
Levy interviewing Magnus is So amazing
Description should give the time control. 15+3??
46:00 for spicy food: it's _not_ milk, or _any_ liquid, it's food: rice, bread, chips, _anything_ . Does no one else in the world know this?!!? Why do I give away monatizable secrets?...
Whats with the trophy? Its a Print?
Congratz also to Wesley!
Oh no Wesley 😢
I would love it if the constant commentating during the games would pause for a few minutes every now and then, just showing the board, so we can just watch chess. It's gets a bit overwhelming and exhausting -- even though it is excellent. I guess there is the mute button. I find it very difficult to do my own analysis with the nonstop commentator analysis. Tnhere have been several times where there is a deep analysis going on on a line when a completely different line has been played minutes ago . Not that alternative variations aren't important, but I could see a better balance here.
congrats wesly and magnus
Magnus won this tournament am not even surprised
Could have been a different story had wesley forced it to Armageddon...He would have been the last to win a game prior to Armageddon.. so it's a psychological Momentum in Wesley's favor
This guy should be called levy bossman from now on, my man Just be like that
Magnus 1 - Jesus 0
Lmao
as a norwegian im wondering why they have a studio in oslo
MAGNUS THE GOAT🎉🎉🎉🎉
1:22:09 - Interviews
Always nice to get a smiling Magnus and quippy Fabi
I need to see the live board not the analysis
3:46:43 the smile on his(Magnus) face ❤
Starts at 39:30
Congratulations Magnus!
chess has to be an olympic sport very soon! Please!!!
As many people have said, make the playing board big and the feed small!! It's so incredibly distracting to have it reversed like that. Why?
There was a budget for a real trophy but Danny Rench used almost all of it to nearly overdose on cocaine, so this morning they had to improvise so they sent levy to the flower shop and printed this picture of a trophy. Later Danny, during his cocaine mania came up with a plan to scam back the money he lost nearly overdosing and made an nft of this picture of a trophy.
Why flowers? That’s corny.
Levy looks magn(ificent)
Tanja is so beautyfull. 👍
They gave him a picture of a trophy 😅😅😅
What's with that trophy ?
Hey ROBERT!! How do you like them Apples??? 😂😂😂😂 GG YO
The only one who had a chance in this tournament against Magnus was Fabi, too bad the seeding had him playing Magnus earlier. Dominant games by Magnus. Glad Wesley doesn’t have a celebratory tweet next to his dogshit Twitter takes
Damn Wesley gave that last game away 😅
That chilli chess session with James and Levy lol. Made me a James fan hehe
What would be cool is if the prize money was handed over in a briefcase as cash :)
Mr Beast style 😊
Magnus Carlsen the best of an era!
treble winner 😅
Magnus Carlsen E.R.A
Where is Kaja?? You need her!
i am becoming a world chess prayer
Congratulations Carlsen
Whe Magnus combs his hair you know you're F'd.
Magnoose shure is the GOAT
