Feels like an action sports game listening to your comments. I like it.
i like this form
I now need all future chess matches commented like this
By the way, for people thinking about the game Magnus drew in 4-5 moves, it was against Vidit Gujrathi. Magnus's stomach was upset so he took a draw. lol
Here's the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wofz0k6FCMU
Anime battle
Watching many of your videos, which often talk about openings, what is the deepest number of moves (from the database of opening moves) that an opening can be (which has been repeated multiple times by players, otherwise it's not really an opening)? Have any games ever been completely duplicated, right from the opening move to the checkmate? Obviously fool's mate has been done more than once, but are there any other examples? How many moves in the opening move database are "checks"? And out of curiosity, how many are "en passents"? Are there any stalemates in the opening move database? Or draws?
The commentary 🔥🔥 their not really saying anything but yo this is anime final episode epic battle worthy
15:57 does Qb1+ works?
Yes I really love this format, more please!
I always thought Morozevich was going to take the chess world by storm….Maybe he has a full time job idk
It would be cool to see Magnus and Hikaru first match against one another.
Seriously, you are the best chess narrator i ever saw. Alot of potential my friend.
can someone explain what happened at the 600 mark? the pawn was not on the diagonal but he still took?
Magnus lost a couple of games to Morozevich
10/10 would watch this style of video again, that was intense
Why didn't you say that after Kf8 Magnus was winning with Qb8+? That's why in the live video Morozevich reacted this way.
Is it gonna be 'The most watched commentary of Magnus's most watched game'?
Nothing makes chess as exciting as Levy's commentary.
So Magnus' most watched game isn't even one where he won?
Magnus carlsen's most watched game : Magnus vs Vidit, Tata Steel rapid (2018)
Draw in 4 moves
Even i watched this game many years ago and many times it was one of my fav games morozevich literally dominated this game right from the beginning and played so fast
FIDE should employ you for special broadcasts
Gotham did you miss to cover that horrific rook blunder by Morozevich at 9:22 . Carlsen also missed it under time trouble.
Qb8+ wins the rook on c7 if black moves the King or blocks with Nc8 else if Rc8 then Qxd5 also wins the rook.
Plz analyse my game
Id name Laxren i am 862 rated player and i am really stuck
Plot twist: it was alexander morozevich's most viewed match as well I know right what were the chances lol
After Bxc6 at 6:58, What happens if black does Bd5+?
Oh
morochan
Alexander Morozevich now: huh. One time Magnus resigned to me 🗿
Magnus carlsen's most watched game actually his shortest game in his career against vidit gujrathi😂.
(Currently it has 61 million views by the time of this comment)
this was most exciting chess game i have ever seen thnx levy amazing as always
Great new format, I'd love to see it regularly.
Magnus really just blundered a free rook? That was not a hard move to see, even in low time? I don't get it.
Move 47. Qb8+ instead of Kg4 wins a rook.
the guy on the right looks like petyr baelish from game of thrones
Like baseball has commentators in Hall of Fame, Levy should be awarded a GM for commentating.
that game gave me anxiety
Can you play Magnus Gotham?
I have never felt more famous, I live in Kazakhstan and I never thought Magnus would come here
Please make more recaps like this. Your commentary is incredibly fun and entertaining for me. I'm pretty much a fan of all your stuff though dude. 🙂
17:31 after black Be6, what if white Bxf8 (white will win Rook,Bishop,&bishop/knight for Queen right?)
Absolutely brilliant commentary. Is it a problem that Morozevich is a god of chess? If not, please consider more videos of this kind please!!!
♔♕♖♗♘♙
commenting is great )) like in football
5:55 Im new to chess so i guess i just dont know this rule… but why can Magnus take the pon with his pon if they are in one line?
This is proof that most people are natural born haters lol his most watched game is a game he lost 😂 all the amazing games he has won and they watching this smh
Thanks for being awesome Levy!! Are there any videos of Bobby Fisher’s games?
15:57 After Kf8 is Qb8+ is a free rook? Or im just stupid
Why does he resign? He could have won
5:57
Holy hell
This aged well
