Magnus is wayyy too intelligent man

"Where're getting to the point where its going to be tough for him!" Magnus after game 2

Magnus said it best. Beating him in a tournament is very possible but beating him in a match is quit a bit harder. And he is being humble saying that.

Can we replace the female commentator with Pia. Her commentary is very average

Tania did a solid job here.

i like that Ian is doing a bit of a Kramnik kind of accusing other people, but is so fine with Magnus beating him. LMAO

Crowd applauses at random moments was weird.

hate it when they try to be "polite" and put pieces back on the board. just leave it as it is

Why is this GMCanty freaking mumbling lmao. This is not a rap session. Remove him

Definitely he is a GOAT

"One guy asked me today if you remember playing me. It was my first adult game in 1999. I remembered the opening and how he beat me."
Also Magnus, "I just won, but we can run that 1999 game back. I owe you a whooping."

What they hear in their headphones?

This was incredible to watch! Magnus in a match is just so sharp! This is amazing!

Not even close

💯💯💯great commentary team! The best. The REAL world championship!! ❤

i n t e r e s t i n g

Magnus is definitely the GOAT OF CHESS

Ian never beat Magnus its fact!!!

If magnus in world competition Will gukesh be champion?

CCT (Carlson’s Chess Tour)🙏🌿

Bro magnus is the real last boss. The true world champion

watching anything except Ultra Bullet chess is like watching John Wayne and Heston at High noon in a scripted 4 minutes and 18 seconds draw
twitching eyes, super slow controlled breathing, loose relaxed shoulders, a ball of spinifex slowly rolling down the dusty road, a Ennio Morricone tune softly playing from some distant Saloon, some random horse taking a slash stage right, Ms Prudence getting beat up by the Rock Ridge Gang.
Sheriff Bart taking care of Mongo while Jim is smashed in his cell
The tempo of the music gains pace, from a funeral march to a slumber lullaby, a fly has landed on John's massive nose, the camera zooms in, old fella silver hairs can be clearly seen growing like $3 Walmart hand broom fibers growing into a Mo not trimmed since last Oktoberfest
John Ford calls ''Cut'', stunt fella Kurt lets rip gas from lashings of Mongo's beans. Security is called in to Terminate the fly, Several Mini Guns begin spraying rounds all over Creation, the Waco kid gets riddled at the blind man's pool table. The Fat man and Little Bill hit the floor while Madam Baker takes her brood round back. Ford yells cut cut cut, the smoke clears, the last of the shot out windows crash into the dirt, Bart and Mongo light a trumpet
Cheech is searching for a toothpick, oh and Mags has won again.

Magnus continuosly defeat him 2 match

Wow Magnus, way way too OP even Top GMs are not his rival

Great production and vibes. Very cool. Love all the insights from the participants, cast, and crew. Bravo 👏

Who win

Nepo is such a loser.. can't even fight to win 1 game of the 6.. this is slamdunk.. all the hype on Nepo is useless.. Indian GMs like Pragg or Arjun or Ashwin would have done better

Did Tanya join the dark side😅?

MAGNUS!!!

magnus lagi magnus lagi, kenapa magnus tidak beri kesempatan kepada yang lain? siapakah yang bisa mengalahkan manusia satu ini?

Goat..that's all

James Canty calling that brilliant move ahead of time is crazy good

The black guy better off changes career and go commentate on basketball matches or something, no one wants him here and he gives a chess a bad image

ian feras magnus ,that 's why he can't win,much lower than his normal performance

gg ez

Yay Magnus!

I WON'T EVEN TAKE A HAND JOB FROM TANYA, LET ALONE GOOD JOB OR BLOW JOB

Why ar they wearing earphones
