Longest Game Ever in World Chess Championship History | Carlsen vs Nepomniachtchi - Game 6
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 12. 2021
- World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen of Norway defends his title against challenger Ian Nepomniachtchi of Russia in Game 6 of the 2021 World Chess Championship match that is being held in Dubai. It's a best of 14 games where the first player to earn 7.5 points earns the lion's share (60%) of a $2.24 million prize pool, and the title of "World Chess Champion". What did this game not have! Carlsen played d4 and offered the gambit of a pawn early that Nepomniachtchi declined. Nepomniachtchi was ambitious by opting to damage his kingside structure in order to keep queens on. Carlsen’s queen shortly thereafter left the game in exchange for 2 rooks. Nepomniachtchi mounted serious pressure against Carlsen’s queenside pawns, and acquired a very dangerous passed a-pawn. Nepomniachtchi set many problems for Carlsen to solve and it nearly exhausted every last second of Carlsen’s clock just before making the first time control. Both players were in bullet mode to meet the 1st time control, and blitz mode to meet the 2nd time control. Additional imbalances surfaced, fortresses were possible as a bailout for Carlsen, the game lasted 7 hours and 45 minutes, and in the end Game 6 made history by becoming the longest game ever in World Chess Championship play by reaching move 136. The previous record was set in game 5 of the 1978 title match between Anatoly Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi, which was a 124-move encounter ending in stalemate

I just watched 38 minutes of one guy talking about chess and I don't play chess yet I don't feel any of my time was wasted.
Welcome🤝
Jerry can have that effect on people, one of the best in the biz
Watching chess videos is a gateway drug to playing online chess.
Change my mind.
Check out his speed chess tournaments. They're a lot like Kung Fu.
How to play chess:
czcams.com/video/SM2fcenx7KU/video.html
This game showed two things:
1. Carlsen is definitely a endgame genius, playing such an unbalanced position with low time almost perfectly
2. Does not matter what the computer says, in the end we are humans and what moves are on the board matters. That's why I dislike recent coverage of chess tournaments, just showing computer lines.
I agree, it doesn't matter what the computer says: The game is being played between two humans. I did like the commentators using the computer to help with their analysis with the end game. Once they found out that the game could be drawn via the tablebase, they were looking for ways in how the game could be drawn. Caruana pointed out that there would likely be many possible moves that could still lead to a draw until a few only moves would have to be played in order to maintain the draw. Once the tablebase showed that there was no longer a forced draw, it was clear that Magnus had broken through. The computer showed where the error occured and the commentators did a great job explaining that the queen needs to leverage the open lines and not get boxed into a corner.
I like the aid of a computer when accompanied by someone who has the skill to call out when its move recommendations are unrealistic. Several times I've seen good commentators point out that a recommended move is purely an engine move, nothing that a human could reasonably be expected to calculate. One drawing line involved an insane king walk with many possible variations, but of course the engine knew that none of them resulted in a successful attack.
Forcing yourself to do this before game 7. Respect my guy, we appreciate it immensely. Was there for the livestream, will be there for the rest. Take care all. Take care of that voice! Also I’m sure Jerry could have drawn this.
Hey nice reference to the last world Championship coverage lol
Thank you Jerry, for all the long years you've been doing this.
I just have to write here that your post game analysis is always, hands down, the best. Agadmator, whom I've never been able to digest even though he's my fellow countryman, basically reads out the moves with the most basic insights into the mind bending tactics. Levy Rozman is a somewhat new youtuber I'm not that well acquainted with, but from what I have seen, the majority of his analyses always deviate from a central, concentrated narrative and seem to be overly focused on the quasi showmanship aspect and his own ego. He is insightful though, but his entire persona appeals more to teenagers. I am only noting them in this comment because I've been following you for a decade, or more even, and these guys suddenly burst into the scene with millions of subs after some publicity given to the game of chess by a mediocre netflix series. You are the king of these videos. Thank you
Jerry is the OG. I agree completely with your assessment.
ok but queens gambit is maybe better than mediocre
This HAS to be the most calm and pleasant channel to review games on. Nice theme, HAS clocks *and* moves.
No inappropriate jokes or bad puns and doesn't jump around like an un-hinged/un-levied kid with ADHD.
All that without even going into the excellence of Jerry's reviewing style, alternate lines and ideas.
Such content should not be taken for granted.
A craft honed over the past 15 years or so. I look forward to the world championship partly because of the amount of Jerry content. The live commentary is good fun and the recaps summarise things perfectly.
Do you really have to milk mustache by putting others down?
@@looinrims Who did he put down?
@@Cowtymsmiesznego everyone he apparently doesn’t like by calling them all essentially mentally handicapped children
Not very nice
@@looinrims
1. He didn't call anyone anything, he made a comparison.
2. Even if you insist on calling ADHD a "mental handicap", it's a very mild condition that is often more of a character trait than a serious disability.
3. There's no such thing as "insulting everyone". Would you say I'm "putting others down" if I say that humans are stupid? He pointed out things that he presumably encountered in the past and disliked, without calling names. Sure, he perhaps used a slightly insensitive exaggeration to do so - but I can't see how it's disrespectful if it doesn't point at anyone specific.
I'm confused whether you agree with him (and have particular commentators in mind that fit his description) or you don't (in which case I can't see how you could treat it as an insult, as it doesn't refer to anyone).
I'm traveling at the moment so I can't follow the game on real time, instead, as soon as I wake up, I imaptiently watch ChessNetwork summary and analysis.
Today when I woke up I could not see a new ChessNetwork video... I felt something was going on... and this game explains it all!
Amazing game from both players, really intense and lot of wow moments, and as always, incredible feedback and analysis by Jerry.
Thank you Jerry!
Ian is an unbelievably strong player himself for being able to last 136 moves against Carlsen.
Watched the whole 8 hour live stream, one of the best and most tense matches I've ever seen! Surprised to see this analysis so soon, you're the best Jerry!
Highest Quality Analysis on CZcams
@@31redorange08 Tries watching a lot of different analyses on CZcams. Jerry is simply on another level! Brought my passion back when it was down 💯
Can't believe you made this on the same day you're a madman
1. Hello from Nebraska!
2. move 33 there is Rcc2 followed by Nf4 and rooks to the 8th rank. White sacks the queenside pawns for a mating net.
3. Magnus was down to 24 sec at move 40
4. The 'meaningless' checks after move 60 are to bank time from the increment.
...and the longest ChessNetwork video in world ChessNetwork championship history.
Thanks Jerry!
40 minutes of Jerry. We need more world championships
Hey Jerry. Been waiting for your analysis ALL DAY. Your analysis is the best for me,. You're calm, cool, collected (so much different from your ChessCube days, in a good way!), and your presentation brings such a unique perspective on the game in question. Looking forward to an uninterrupted 40 mins. Thank you so much for all the work you do.
1972 Game 6: the greatest ever
50 years later, Game 6:
L O N G B O I
It’s mind blowing to me that they can stay with it for 7+ hours, The mental stamina is incredible, it’s a shame someone had to lose a game like that
During game 6's Twitch livestream, I asked my viewers where they were tuned in from.
It's been awhile since I got a feel for where the viewers on CZcams are tuned in from. If you'd like to share where you're from, that'd be cool to know. 😎

Jerry this was a great game!
Hey jerry! I’m in New York State
Australia
Montreal, Canada. Cheers!
Metro Boston.
This was a blast one was a blast, Jerry!
You are the only person I feel actually puts a lot of your own thinking into analysis. So much more instructive than other youtubers
BEEN WAITING ALL DAY FOR THIS VID!!
SAME OMG
same here lol
same.. almost watched a different channel but I wanted Jerry's take on it
We can learn so many strategy and tactics of chess from this one game
Thanks Jerry. Excellent commentary as usual. Even though I watched it live I still couldn't wait for your analysis. Great job.
This is a really good analysis of this game as well as some history in the intro. I don’t know how you do it Jerry, but you’re my favorite person commenting on these games. I understand your analysis very well. You make it look easy!
Thanks for this wonderful video.
It's the calm, reassuring, mellifluous voice.
The stream chat everywhere was going absolutely wild when 2R vs. Q was on board and it only went from there. I stayed up all night to watch this crazy game happen in real time and it was well worth my time.
Love the clear and calm way you analyse these WCC games and the very informative "tale of the tape" to round up.
Following your CZcams channel from The Netherlands.
Wow! I was following on Twitch up until about 5pm uk time. I saw the time scramble at 1st time control and it was nail biting. Great commentary Jerry. Unfortunately I wasn't able to continue watching the live stream but I'm so glad you were able to do a video to summarise the rest. I'm amazed Magnus won as I thought it was going to get drawn. A lovely surprise. Great work. Keep it up 👍👌
It's very much worth the wait to watch your breakdown and analysis of this competition Jerry. I really love your work! Thank you for putting so much time into this or your grateful fans.
29:00. The reason for the back and forth moves here was to gain time on the clock with the increment.
Really clear and succinct analysis Jerry. Thank you, as always.
Your dedication to providing consistently high quality coverage of these games is to be applauded. I hope your vocal cords can go the distance. You deserve a day off as much as either of these amazing elite players. You're an elite chess commentator, and your efforts are appreciated.
wasn't able to watch the game this morning and was tempted to watch one of the many analyses that was uploaded today, but I knew it'd be much better to wait for yours to come out since i love your analysis style the most. so glad to see the upload :)
What a great game. Amazing commentary as always Jerry!
You are incredible, Jerry, this is a lot of work! And executed with you much care and detail, and in a timely manner!
Props for your stamina on this one. Your dedication to covering the world championship matches with high quality analysis is astounding. Thanks so much!
This was an epic game! i only saw the end when it got to a tablebase draw, but Magnus was pushing for the win relentlessly, finding all the best moves and slowly wearing out Nepo who was defending very well but eventually got tired and impatient and made some inaccuracies that allowed Magnus to clinch the advanage.
I can't even fault Nepo here, because Magnus could and would prolong this game for a very long time even after 125 moves and Nepo had to be careful with every move, Nepo had to stay super focused the whole time and with every move that got harder and harder as he gets more tired and more annoyed that the game is still going, which is exactly what Magnus wanted.
yes, you are right, that's the famous "Magnus steamroller"
Carlsen’s endgame is just too good.
An incredible game. Thanks for the accessible analysis.
One of the all-time great chess games, and super instructive too. It had fortresses, lessons about piece coordination, compensation of activity in return for the loss of a pawn, the immense power of the queen and much more. And it goes without saying, you've done a masterful job of explaining it all! :)
I was fortunate to watch this game live with you Jerry, but nothing beast the classic YT video - great as always!
Jerry, you’re the man! Great live coverage and I’ve been looking forward to this vid ever since.
I spent so much data checking streams on CZcams on my phone all day, what a game! Great re-cap, thank you. Must have been a long day :)
Yes! I've been waiting for this recap. Of the major content creators, I always find Jerry's is the most insightful.
Thank you. From Russia with best wishes😁👍🥳 Moscow
This one was so good to watch live, thank you for the coverage.
live chess. so exciting
Great analysis which does justice to a truly historic game! Thanks Jerry!
Your analysis and commitment is stunning
As always, a great review
Thank-you for this terrific analysis, Jerry. You're the best!
Ngl this was way more interesting than I ever thought it would be. I'm going to be honest too, this is the first time I've really seen how beautiful chess can be, and its because you explained the rational behind the moves
Great analysis of this great game, Jerry. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Amazing analysis, thank you Jerry
Managed to catch the final hours of your stream, thank you for the content and the recap Jerry, much love.
What a godly game. The imbalances were so fun to see
Al ain, Abu dhabi. i've been following you for the last three years and I watched every single video of yours. keep up the good work jerry and tnx for the amazing content.
The only chess channel that I put like before watching the video.
I got divorced, remarried, and had 3 kids by the time this game was over.
laughing, indeed
Underrated comment.
Amazing game and top notch analysis as always.
Finally Jerry uploaded his analysis 😎, (was expecting a 30 to 35 minutes video, but we got almost 42) thanks a ton !!! was eagerly waiting for this since morning.
At least it didn’t go to Move 151. At that point even Stockfish would’ve resigned!
classic
Stockfish can only analyse 100 moves on lichess. Thats so dumb because 10% of the games I play are 100+ moves
The best game commentaries on CZcams.
What a fantastic game, and coverage! Watching this live with ya was fun too. Cheers Jerry!
Thank you so much Jerry you're the best!
Searched for this video 2 minutes ago and boom. Upload.
same 😂
Exact same thing happened to me
great analysis :)
Thank you for your work my friend! You have made me come back and enjoy and play chess for years now. I have an on/off relationship with chess, but every time I watch your videos I am back on the hype train :D
*Edit: I'm from Germany
Great analysis
Thank you from New Hampshire!
Jerry, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your hard work and dedication.
The time pressure was definitely there but after that exchange by Ian of 2 rooks for the queen, I was 100% convinced that Magnus was going to grind it out in much the way he did because of the weak pawns on Black's king side. You could see it coming a mile away.
Such a wonderful game. Carlson is bafflingly good, and this analysis was so thorough for such a short video turn around.
I'm a Bama fan and I was more stressed watching this game than I was during the final regulation minutes of the Iron Bowl this year.
When Magnus dropped from four minutes to 30 seconds only to play a move Simon Williams saw immediately, I nearly had a stroke.
Nepo may lose, but he's already silenced the crowd that claimed he'd get blown off the board. He's been brilliant; Magnus is just Magnus.
Just made dinner after a long day, so excited to sit down and watch this. Thank you for your excellent coverage Jerry!
My go to when it comes to game analysis!!
I was there for all the “We got a mover!” moments. It was an incredible mix of tension and beauty. Thanks for your analysis, Jerry! I will be there to watch game 7!
thank you very instructive recap, many thanks, maybe the best chess game I've ever seen
I’m from Portugal Jerry. Love the videos and streams !
A testament to the length an pure endurance of this match: Jerry calls the bishop a pawn! (Jerry, always awesome commentary. Intense day for you, I'm sure)
I am speechless, What a great Analysis Jerry!
Best commentary.
Great coverage by Jerry as usual.
amazing game, thank you
thank you for this
Thanks for sharing. From Malaysia.
waited for this all day, thank you!
I don't watch any of other analysis! So good!
same, I literally didn't watch a single other analysis before his
What an incredible struggle.
Definitely interesting play.👌🏻
Wow, what a game. Thanks Jerry
Greetings from Germany. Following you for like a decade now. M two highlights are,you getting mated and the 2 rook puzzle where you laugh out loud.
Always look forward to these. Would be nice to get some explainations of concepts liek table base and the time controls as they come into effect. Also when you go through "tale of the tape" I'd love if it if you went back and glimpsed those vital moments again.
Good point. Jerry's analysis is pretty approachable for beginners but I think he assumes you've played a bit. Table base is just a list of "known" ending positions that have an established result with "perfect" play. Computer chess engines have table bases programmed in so they would play this kind of ending flawlessly.
Actually table base is hard to comprehend. Even SuperGM's who commentate the game didn't know why Qb1, Qc2 is the equalizing move and why does Qe6 is a mistake by Nepo. But it would be nice it Jerry can do it :))
this was easily the sweatiest and most intense game of the championship. u can really feel the time pressure and level of precision they needed to play at to hold off until the end
From Oregon- That was an incredible game!
Managed to wake up and catch the last 60 moves of this game on stream with you. Excited to see what I missed in the beginning!
Love seeing your reviews Jerry. I was wondering if you also save your twitch vods, would love to see your live reaction at some points of the game.
They are, but it might be that they'll be deleted automatically after 3 months,, idk if Jerry has it set to save long-term or not, so keep that in the back of your mind :]
Yes, his vods are available on his Twitch. You can watch back all of these games if you want :)
I know they are on twitch, but I was wondering if he saved them anywhere permanent, it would be a shame if they were lost forever
Hi Jerry, your video is awesome! Even an average chess player like me can understand your comments so you are really spot on !
These are games for the real chess-lovers, but they may seem dull to occasional players or non-players, because they will neither
grasp what is going on, nor feel the tension ! I think Nepo must be devastated after this loss and I hope he will somewhat bounce back,
as it appears that steamroller Magnus is activated... By the way, I'm tuning in from France, but that doesn't matter because
'gens una summus' !
It seems pretty rough because Magnus can play solid and drawish from here on. I'm curious if he'll even play D4 again or try to instigate much imbalance as white, then when Carlsen is black it feels as if Nepo can't even afford to think conservative any more.
Yes Luke, I think you are right, because Magnus is a super calculator and he knows how to secure things. He did that against Karjakin when drawing all the time, knowing he was a far better in rapid play. So yes, I agree with you !
Carlsen presented a great endgame lesson once he started his pawn advance in the final stage of this game. The game was his once he gave up a rook for the bishop.
15:29 what a nice pawn we can capture!
Wonderful, Jerry. Thanks so much.
a perfect battle from both players
Hi Jerry I love your content for Chile. Specialty the bullet arenas on lichess
i think this solidifies Magnus clearly as the top endgame player of all time.
it was win or draw for white. if Magnus was black and pulled a draw with Q vs R & N then he would be top - black had to find perfect square exclusively moves to draw.
There was some time pressure but that could be mitigated by some meaningless checks. Therefore, Magnus could play with great confidence. He was not going to lose and sooner or later Ian would make a mistake. Solid ending play but there have been MANY much greater endings.
Nepo will always be my favorite information era player. 2nd and 3rd Karpov and Kasparov. I grew up being coached with their games.
