World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway defends his title against challenger Fabiano Caruana of the United States in Game 6 of the 2018 World Chess Championship match that is being held in London. It’s a best of 12 games where the first player to earn 6.5 points earns the lion’s share of a $1.14 million prize pool, and the title of “World Chess Champion”. Both players entered game 6 deadlocked with 2.5 points each. Carlsen, in this classic game 6, tested Caruana for the first time in the match with e4, after having played both d4 and c4 in games 2 & 4 respectively. Caruana, not surprisingly, employed a favorite defense of his in that of the Petrov. A highly atypical 4th move by Carlsen sparked a unusally high number of knights moves after only 14 turns. The middlegame was rich with plans, and the endgame is one which left a lasting impression on all who observed the 6.5 hour battle.

This game is silly,.. just a lot of dinking around, and no piece development (a critical flaw — with so many games showing lack of opening lines for bishops, the queen, and finally rooks) ,… why don't players remember that it is the King that is the target? I hate end games.
what are good openings to try and play king f2 instead of castling in blitz?
With your analyses of these games, it's difficult to believe you aren't at grandmaster or at least getting close to that. As interesting as it was, most of the complex sequences were far beyond what my 1130 brain could comprehend lol. Your videos are really pleasant to watch and listen to and I always end up having another game or two after watching just to get my brain going again.
Check out analysis at 36:00
Amazing sequence of moves with bishop and knight to win. Profound and very educational. I will be re-watching this many more times. Thanks Jerry.
In my chess engine after Ng1(move 70)36.52 by black, white moved bishop back to d5, what should black do to win the game
Superb commentary on end game. Without chess commentators like you we would have never understood this higher level gameplay.
"Engines only give numbers not the explaination"
4000 + likes for the video says it all ….
Love all the detail and explanation think it would be really cool if at the end you showed the game without all the stoppage and commentary for those that are in a rush or would just like to see the match as it played out.
This is wonderful commentary and a great tutorial!
I wonder if Carlsen wouldve found that bishop h4 move if the sides were flipped
I can't stop watching these videos. I am not a big chess player, yet the analysis is fantastic and gripping. Great channel.
why do you think Fabi didnt just win the bishop pair on move 9?
33:00 the moment of truth
Do not move your minors twice in the opening
And if you want to do it like macuana 10! Times
That's what I learnt
Great game. GG
Carlsen vs Caruana round 2 in 2019?
33:10 i figured it out in 5 seconds lol
Jerry awesome videos please keep them coming
I really like the guy doing the analysis. He's actually quite funny – the way he describes situations. I like the videos. I'm trying to watch all of them.
..
What a nice analyses! From the position at (33:40), Stockfish took more than 5' to "see" the winner move …Bh4!! (@ 5GHz, 4096MB Hash Tables and 10+billion nodes analyzed in my rig).
but if in the endgame simplifying for black would be losing, and black started doing just that then why did white have to go with that imbalance?
You are too much boring
Wow the endgame is majestic .Im Fascinated
Please make more end game tutorials 😊
Kevin ran into time trouble on this one. Toward the end he kept saying the wrong color.
What would you do if after 68 … bh4 bd5 ne2 bf3 ngn1 white plays bd5?
At 24:46 white had ne7 tho
37:08 Zugzwang
Bravo bravo bravo
Where is that picture in the thumbnail from? I'm asking 'cause it's the nicest picture I've seen of him.
move 10 bd3?
33:05 – "This moment right here is the big one in this Endgame. Black has a winning continuation, but it's nearly impossibile to figure it out. It's study like. I'm gonna throw it as a POP quiz to you if you wanna try and figure this one out if you'd like. What is at least that first move that gets it in direction of winning here? Black to move. What would you do? " –
Well, Jerry. If I knew it, I would've been a world champion too. Wouldn't I?
Great analysis.
Looks like 30. … Nb2 doesn't work because it can be responded to with 31. Be2. Traps the knight in a precarious position.
on move 13, wouldnt it be better if white had played nb5? there was no way to stop the fork then, or was there?
8:00 what does "rank" mean when talking about a "second-rank knight vs. third-rank knight" ? I'm chess-illiterate, sorry
Misses a study like ending that the 2nd best chess player in the world missed
Somehow still disappointed with self
Nice job jerry!
love the analysis!
That bishop triangulation is God like and you have to trap your own knight? Ai
thx jerry. soo nice to remember this game after 2 years 🙂
Even suggesting it might be a missed win is unfair.
"Chess is the art of analysis." – Mikhail Botvinnik
In Botvinnik's eyes, I believe, you would be great, master Jerry. In my eyes you are fantastic. Your tutorials are always analytical, revealing, instructive, interesting and superb. IMHO you are the best commentator on the YT (although there are other good ones). Thank you! Keep the excellent work going on!
Wow triangulation at its finest!! Good video fine sir
Please allow me to be polite .. aw never mind: This video demonstrates why and how Agad mator SUCKS. This the propper way to do it. NO tangents of idiocy of never played never would have been played chess.
The 6th games seems to be classics.
all of this just for a draw
Hi Jerry.
