David and Jovanka did mostly engine free commentary, while Anish and Peter had the engine on throughout. It was all fascinating, but as the game went on I mostly watched the Dojo sensei argue with each other. Good fun. 🙂 It's great to see engine free post game analysis as well, and I enjoyed the video, but I bet it was anywhere from eye opening to shocking to finally use an engine for yourself.
I love your live analysis because you discuss moves naturally. Most others simply show the engine line. It also helps to know if a player plays an actual brilliant move.
4:25 Chess is so interesting. After h3 I feel intuitively that White is slightly better because of the g2 bishop, whereas black’s c8 bishop doesn’t have any prospects. Additionally, I think the d5 square is more important than the d4 square, and black’s space on the queenside doesn’t amount to much. Obviously I’m disagreeing with a GM here. But I honestly think the position is pretty good for Ding.
Yeah it's odd magnus and hikaru were incredibly critical of gukesh pretty much the entire game, they said moves that Jesse said were good were terrible lol. Just shows the levels between the creme de la creme and the self described chump gm.
I was actually a bit apprehensive going into Game 12, since Gukesh had a few misplays in Game 11 (the one he won) after the opening - maybe due to nerves. But in Game 12, it became a completely dominant play by Ding, because of a really bad opening choice by Gukesh. Unfortunately, I feel there are more systematic problems in Gukesh's team, and it's not just about Gukesh's nerves. His seconds' ideas throughout this match have been underwhelming and not playing to his strengths; Game 12 is just the extreme example of that - why go into an easy positional setup for white where Ding is an excellent player? If they come up with shitty opening choices again in any of the remaining two games, Gukesh is toast. Unfortunate that a diamond of a talent is all messed up because of this.
mystery solved, apparently if you don't have English as your language in your RUclips settings, the last two videos of the channel are automatically dubbed into the one you chose.
It's not about them i believe as an old timer not using their clocks well enough. I mean, Gukesh plays in some games like 10-15 moves in a min! For God's sake, this is the world championship. I feel Gukesh plays super fast. It's just that this is chess. People need time. I believe we should at least go back to the previous like 2 years ago times. Plus an hour after move 40, plus half an hour or a quarter after 60, & 30 sec ince since move 1. This time is ridiculous. This is just for the show & optics. The TV time & so on. Don't just take in heart and do whatever the spoiled Carlsen says. This is who he is. Not what chess is
In the press conference Ding said he actually missed Na7
Jesse, your recaps are zee best! I don't have much time for chess these days, but that precious time I do have I chose to spend watching your recaps.

Thank you Bawss!!
This game was beyond me, thanks for trying to help me understand it!
A position with less space and no pawn breaks is the hardest thing to handle. 11:05 better adds ...Bg5 Bxg5 hxg5, with some counter chances.
Why this video is AI dubbed in italian in my feed?! 😅

Same for me, in french .... What an awful feature
Please don't put result spoilers in the title. I don't have time to watch the full game so I only watch recaps and this spoiled it for me.
