  1. Good Game, I like the idea of Magnus at least trying for the win, even though he knew he had the tourney wrapped up. Shows alot of character imo.

  2. You know…. it isn't a brilliancy game for sure. It is just a hard battle game, with Magnus trying to squeeze out a win when already he won the tournament. I felt it was important to cover it though. I do love covering brilliancy games outside of these important recent tournaments. I see where your coming from.

  3. Good idea, this second round of analysis. It means that people who just want the overall picture of the game or are pressed for time can watch the first part.

  4. I saw some at chessbomb(dot)com for this tournament.

  5. The game was streamed at livestream(dot)com as well, by london chess classic, with commentators, for free.

  6. he is using Houdini 3 on a 32 bit computer

  7. After move 46; – Kd8, 47; Kc1(!? 48; Kb2) is indicated by the chess engine, and one Norwegian chess columnist "Sjakkfantomet" at blogg dot no, (The Chess Fantom), says this should lead to black ending a piece down (or a mating net) and an easy win for white.
    You didn't follow up on your computer's hint. Why not?

  8. I love that magnus is proving a point, vishy was also proving that magnus needs to be at his best, I feel vishy isnt phased by magnus's achivment?

  9. I thought that the Positional Play was rather nice.

  10. KC can you do a video on borislav ivanov's games where he was accused of cheating and forced to get nake by the judges?

    Thanks for your awesome work!

  11. I thought of this game immediately after the Candidates tournament.

  12. yeah chessbomb, but the chat sucks, a lot of trollers 🙂

  13. Great Video…no crushing action, because none blundered. However, very instructive positional play, highlighting the deep understanding and calculations of the super GMs

  14. Great game & EXCELLENT commentary/analysis!!!
