Nothing, I said NOTHING could've prepared me for this ending

Magnus and Hikaru been real quiet since this match dropped 🗿

Legend has it Michael can still take the knight, attacking the rook and then take the bishop.

That was an absolute rollercoaster. Michael is going places!! Not to a high ranking, but places

I'm pretty confident that Anuraj saw that he couldn't castle with his king and thought that that meant that to castle you need to move the rook to the f8 square and I like to believe that he was surprised to see that his king remained in the same square.

The ending is poetic, the knight gets the chance to hit the game winner after 400 years of being completely exposed to the impending pawn capture but anuraj has other plans, and blunders the rook, giving a last chance to the knight to deliver check mate, that doesn't happen and instead like a medieval soldier just missed his last sword stroke, the black king gets checkmated himself. This game is an attestment to the human capability to fuck up and keep fucking up until there is no more up to fuck. The most beautiful rendition of chess I've witnessed, thank you Michael and Anuraj

25:23 "and Michael won" the ending legit got me

21:48 Rook to e2 blundering the took for no reason whatsoever 😂😂 That's my favorite part of the video 😂

Poor Michael was blinded by his own brilliance. Truly a 200IQ game

These are my favorite videos where I can actually understand what's happening lol

On behalf of 400s, we're hurting so bad because of this match. It went so well in the beginning then I started to die on the inside when it got to the middle game.

5:34 i almost cried at his voice bro😭

I see the thumbnail, and I'm like... Dang how did Levy get a hold of my game?

Literally can't contain myself and burst into laughter several times. Thank you for the laugh.

10:09 I think that he wanted to castle but it didn’t let him so he tried to castle using the rook because maybe it will work then

Bruh my heart can’t take it. The narrative at 21:30 is gold

I liked my own comment Edit: Why tf did 3.1K like this, arent people who watch chess supposed to be smart💀💀

These videos always leave me with such an empty feeling at the end, like watching two of the last of a species fighting to the de ath. It is beautifully haunting, yet in the end nobody truly wins.

I cried laughing when I guessed the move at 21:39 by asking myself "what is the worst possible move to make in this situation?"
