    It would be great to post URLs for PGNs with videos.
    Is there a reason why chess streamers do not do that?
    It would be great to play with certain positions, without doing the set-up.
    For example, when you said that the queen had no squares to go to (6m15s), why not g3...?
    There were a couple of other positions I had questions about, as well.
    Love your shows - thank you!

    6:14 You say the queen is 'checkmated', but isn't Qg3 available? Not that Nf3+ follow up isn't truly awful for white to deal with, but thats still a bit different than immediately dropping the Queen, correct?

    6:10 why is the queen checkmated? Can’t it go to g3? Or you can block with the knight on E6 temporarily and then retreat along the dark squares? Second idea is probably still losing tho

    @user-tv8ws3rq1p Před měsícem

    Hey, thanks for analysing some possible lines after …g5! Other coverage so far has been less than convincing.
    What a rich and complex position. :) At first glance, the pawn duo looks fairly wonky and attackable once White 'consolidates' … but where does his king hide in order to achieve this?
    And what a pity Black pushed forward on the very next move, offering Carlsen the type of positional weakness which has become his staple diet over the years. Nom nom.
    In short? Areally beautiful game which could've been just a little better.

    Was the chess world really speechless? I mean, he's been the best player in the world for a long time now. I don't see any of the great moves he finds until long afterwards, and often have to have them explained to me anyway, but he finds so many (and so often too) that I've largely come to expect them from him, rather than being left speechless. Is the world of football speechless when Messi curls another rocket around a defensive wall? Was the cricket world left speechless when Warne turned another ball a foot or so out of the rough and into the stumps? Magnus is a great player, possibly the GOAT but certainly right up there on the all-time-great list. I'm closer to being speechless when he blunders in some way.

    Another banger. I'm not a cat person. I don't even like cat people. I don't like cats either. Cats suck. Fight me if you disagree (not aimed at Epic Chess-- I'm directing this particular sentence to the rest of you buttheads). Anyway, Magnus is like a cat, toying with an animal it can kill at will (e.g. a small lizard, or maybe a flightless bird or something). All he has to do is stop toying around and slap the life out of the hopeless competition whenever some kind of it's-time-to-snuff-this-clown-out-of-existence switch flips in his mind. I'm thinking that happens when he starts to get bored. Either that, or his goal is to set up the stupidest possible opening position, mostly based on what his opponent does (I don't mean "opening" in the traditional chess sense, obviously). Once he determines that he couldn't have given his opponent a more advantageous head start if he tried (or, tried harder-- he did try, after all), that's when Magnus decides to clown him.
    tl;dr Magnus is awesome and I'd suck--
    Hey. Gotta go. I'm not gay. I was just kidding. That was a joke. I didn't mean it. I said that to be funny. I wouldn't really
