    Magnus surprising himself is always hilarious to me
  • Unbelievable display of chess brilliance by both players. I will never understand how they can calculate these complex positions so fast!
  • Danya’s energetic commentary had me holding my breath for the last half of the match!
  • @yungruuku
    Daniel, your commentary is exceptional. Jesus. What a great game.
  • @JacobChardBRA
    I am super new to chess, and I fell in love with it literally last week. I thought I knew how to play chess until I realised that I had no idea what I was doing. This just showed me how hard and how much thinking goes into chess.. so much pressure too. Hopefully I can learn a bunch this year :)
  • @daruddock
    Right up until the last few seconds I was still expecting a draw at the least from Carlson. The fact he managed to pull out a check with 4 seconds on the clock is amazing!
  • Guy on the right:" walks away crying Commentator: "You can see laughter from both players there".
  • @phantorang
    Magnus facial expression at the end, priceless.
  • @foohoo6991
    Props to Rapport for having the balls to go for a win when he had the draw though
  • @Yamagatabr
    Rapport is a BEAST! Always a treat to watch! Dude always delivers a very creative and Relentlessly aggressive game!
  • @uInfiniti
    Magnus is as impressive as always with his play, you almost expect that to happen... buut Daniel's commentary was just INSANE. I have seen him stream, and heard him before announcing major events, but this was next level. Truly grabbed your hand, your attention, and led you through what felt like a whirlwind of adventure instead of a chess match.
  • @louschweetz
    Amazing commentary by GM Naroditsky! What a game!
  • This commentary would be easily beat some radio coverages of '80s and '90s footbal games
  • For those confused @8:08 its called"en passant" means "in passing". The rule of en passant says that when a pawn moves two squares on one turn, the very next move an adjacent pawn may capture that pawn as if it had only moved one square. The move was invented to prevent players from locking up the chessboard with pawns.
  • Never mind if it's Blitz or Classical, this is one of the best Games of Chess I have ever watched!! Love Magnus' very Human Reaction!!
  • Crazy game! Best chess player with best chess commentator and love seeing Rapport play! Great video to watch, really enjoyed!!!
