Not sure, it's a bit more nuanced than that. Magnus has been part of a complete complexity of the process number of times , and he clearly understands that it's far from like they're not trying. The momentums, objective currents, tendencies and fluctuations - all silently contribute to the superficiality of the final result. Clearly, Ding got involved here in something really dark 🌑 in that game, and clearly done it willingly. Eventually backing down from Kn-a4 possibility a testimonial of the magnitude of the energies he went into - juxtaposed intensely with the overarching overall structure of the match, fuelled by the readouts produced from his own (psychological) operative console. We have to remember, both navigate intense uncharted ocean floor 🪸🌊 at the moments of truth relying on their own. So much to it...
I am 29 and it was like as soon as I turned 29 , my body said you are ancestral now (gen alpha would agree with my body's opinion bcz they do think after 25 you are too old) . As Levy said he feels 50,it's almost the same for me for a year or two. I feel old.
46y old average male here. My 2 cent: Everyone starts decaying at some point, but if you stay active, eat healthy and get regular sleep, the descent is so gradual you won't feel any significant impairment until well into your fifties or sixties.

I don't expect you to believe me, but it's true, and you should quit getting old right now, it's in your hands.

I wouldn’t even call it an insult. If either player wants to win (more specifically ding from how it’s looking rn considering he’s had more advantages), you need to punch, put your nuts on the line a little bit. True champions are born in those moments where they put they show they’ve got the balls to be a champ
Whoever is in charge of lighting needs to bring Kaja’s light source towards camera on axis. Right now it’s above her head and giving the godfather “raccoon eyes” look. If you bring the light more frontal on her face it will look much better. Then I’d personally give her a backlight too. If y’all film in LA I’d be happy to come make these changes for free.
Completely agreed, lighting could be way better with some minor tweaks. But there's no need to personally come imo, its a very basic tweak, they can do it themselves
It's truly amazing to see the one and only GOAT speak so openly about chess and his thoughts. I feel like we're getting a really really valuable product for free! And Magnus is pretty good too. I guess...
as someone a lil older I'll say this to Magnus and Levy: first, having the greatest players of all time and the biggest chess influencer, both young and at their prime, at same time commentating an important match makes for a golden age of chess for sure. second, what you lose with age doesnt really matter as much as what you gain. your mind is really just as old as your heart allow. happy birthday you guys
Kaja is incredible in her role as the host on these videos. I hope she gets recognized for that. She really brings this to another level and it wouldn't be the same without her.
My only guess as to Ding’s passivity is that with Gukesh the big favourite, and considering his relative inexperience, Ding’s team wants to take him into deep water and up the pressure in the later rounds.
Precisely. Ding is a grinder and that's what he did with Nepo too.... He will grind it with his iron clad D and take it to the TB where he is the real advantage. The Guk will come up short due to inexp.
One thing I find pretty frustrating about these recaps is it seems to have been decided that you won't show variations on the board when they're being discussed, but it would be much easier to follow the train of thought if a few move variations were permitted to be shown on the board on the left.
Great stuff, but please add an analysis board to illustrate Magnus' and Levy's ideas for alternative lines, for example suggestion of going Na4 instead of Nc4.
Always good to see the former world champion Levy sharing this critique and insights of the WC games! Hopefully he shows how to play properly in the next championship against most likely Gukesh.
There's no guarantee that Carlsen will reach another final if he decides to try World Championship again. He might not be able to win the candidates. A lot of good players on the up. He ain't getting any younger with all respect.
@@nichiren280767I really wouldn't say that. Even looking at his recent classical tournaments like Norway chess where he finished first and in olympiad secured a bronze. Previous year he even secured first in world cup. Like my guy is still the favorite if he decides to play the candidates. Sure it might take one or two tries to outright win it but I have no doubt he'll legit perform better than his peers and it's not even close tbh.
@@nichiren280767the outcome of games and tournament depends more or less on him regardless the opponents ...its quite simple he is motivated in good shape he ll definitely win this
Yes that's true tho .. although I don't think it's going in tiebreaks , we will have results before that .. either Gukesh would win or ding .. @@Phoenix.219
@@athiestperson5947 he is not good in faster formats, as, I guess, magnus said gukesh heavily relies on calculations rather than on his intuition and understanding of the position, that's why he performs worse in rapid and blitz also, ding is the guy who beat magnus on tiebreaks
Happy birthday, Magnus 🎉🥳you are very inspirational, like an older, smarter, wiser brother. Always confident but humble and objective at the same time. Always telling the truth, but also recognizing talent and appreciating good qualities of others. About Ding, I think we will see the strong, old Ding probably when he will no longer have the title of the World Champion. I believe in him, after all he had a record of not losing 100 classical games in a row that only Magnus could beat. When Magnus decided not to defend his title, only Ding and Fabi came to my mind as deserving world champions( also Aronyan but he is onlder, a little bit impossible to come back).
I have been enjoying both the app and the commentary. I love that I can catch up on the game on the app and the combination of Magnus and Levy works out very well.
Loved the last answer of magnus. Yes, it probably not exciting match for chess players like magnus but its still exciting match as a viewers like me bcoz no one predicts what's gonna happen in next match.
This was such a genius analysis. Hugely improved my learning. The knight doesn't want to be traded. There couldn't be a better example. From a WCC. Magnus loves chess.
It somehow has to be possible to show the variations on the board Magnus and Levy are talking about. It would be a big upgrade to show the Na4 line or the b2 Rc8 Rc1 d4 c4 Nd5 line for example.
Can you guys show the variations that Magnus is listing on the board? It seems like a pretty simple/common thing to do and it would help tremendously. Many of us aren’t strong enough to keep up in our minds! Thanks
Make Levi and Magnus Play Out Positions without informing them which position they would get from the WCC and let them defend or crush the other 😊 Would be funny to watch them play together on a given position where Gukesh or Ding failed
yes we know, when Gukesh doesn't have a good game is "he is just 18 little kid, give him a break" When Gukesh has good performance its "GUkesh is only 18 and he is already the best ever!!!"
@@tomatoisnotafruit5670 i think your lQ is too low to comprehend my comment...i am not hypocite like you... leave the KID alone...He will WIN the WORLD championship just like the Candidates.
Every FIDE Master knows and does choose better decision on board - initiative preferred to passive. Every time. This sick passive approach, like you are sure you will not need that point later, amazes me.
American football analogy from the old days: Ding is playing like 1970 U Michigan ball-3 yards & a cloud of dust. The coach “When you throw the ball only 3 things can happen and 2 of them are bad.”🤣🤣
Happy birthday CHAMP! My condolences for the loss of your mom. You are in a brand new chapter of life and an available path is fatherhood which I think you will find very rewarding 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
First black game opening (French Opening) by Ding surprised Gukesh by its unpopularity at the highest stages. He wasn't prepared as much with those lines, as Ding was. Which is why Ding played all the passive moves, relying on his memory of lines to catch Gukesh when he doesn't make an accurate move. This game by Ding was to send a message to Gukesh that Ding is prepared to take risks in the opening by going for same non-traditional openings again, as if asking Gukesh "Did you really study this? Sucker? Show me. " This game by Gukesh showed Ding that he is ready for it. And everything. Ding is turning the tides of the game by playing such non-traditional openings so that he controls the game because of his memory of the lines. Ding must be having a super sharp and long memory, to remember these lines that deeply.
I think it is clear that removing Kaja was a vast improvement. Today Levy is relegated back to a position where he can only ever be tentative because he is always about to be either corrected or confirmed by Magnus. It is a role that serves no purpose. Again we see today how poor this board is for illustrating the discussion. Levy literally begs for an arrow, which then appears in the wrong place, then disappears altogether. Given this is the launch of a major new app with untold money and time gone into it - I don't see how they are making such a mess of a primary feature. Again I think Magnus needs a producer to improve his style. Contrast his mumbling down at his desk with Levy's bright, head-up diction. We get that he's God but even a God needs to be able to smile when wished Happy Birthday. It may seem small but body language communicates attitude. Maybe give Kaja a role to come in at the end and ask the MVP questions 🤔
Ding gets criticized no matter what he does. It doesn't matter if he's outplaying Gukesh, it's never enough. Personally I think he's doing great, and conserving energy in such a long match makes sense, why fight for 4 more hours to get a draw anyway. He's playing smart, and if he does need to take risks in the future I have no doubt he will, because he did against Nepo. Go Ding! Prove them all wrong!
Are you what dumb??Here gukesh and ding are making boring draws by not even trying to win atleast magnus was trying to win in every game from 0.1 advantage and fabi was defending brilliantly
@@nikhildawani2913don't argue with these people they can't even handle criticism all thanks to biased commentary by chessbase india and overhyping gukesh
20:54 On Na4, Leela shows a way, which Ding might have seen. Leela's top move was Ding's preferred Nc4. So much so, even after Na4 Leela still wants to retreat to c4. White setup would be timely b3 + Rb2 + Bc1 maneuver, against Blacks Rb6. This way you challenge the only concern of the position; c4-d3 bind.
If the draws continues, at some point Gukesh will face a huge pressure as he wouldn't want to play the tiebreaks, and he will need to play aggressive and fight for win. Ding is just waiting at that moment for him to strike.

Ding gets criticized no matter what he does. It doesn't matter if he's outplaying Gukesh, it's never enough. Personally I think he's doing great, and conserving energy in such a long match makes sense, why fight for 4 more hours to get a draw anyway. He's playing smart, and if he does need to take risks in the future I have no doubt he will, because he did against Nepo. Go Ding! Prove them all wrong!
Because everyone expects nothing but the very best from the reigning World Champion and this is clearly not enough 🤔
I mean, if there's anywhere where you need to place the highest standards, it's for the WCC.
Cause A) he's the world champion B) he's not converting the positions he's better in and C) his opponent is just 18
Magnus' random backgrounds are the exact opposites of Levy and Gotham's..

Thank you Magnus for gracing us with your large brain and keen insights
The Engine said Nc4 was by far superior to Na4, but he didn't follow it up accordingly
🤔
Nc4 leads to a endgame which balck has pawn up but it is obviously draw because white can blockades dark square but na4 is more versatile
Na4 is given basically the same evaluation as Nc4.
GOTHAM CHEST 🥵
Happy Birthday magnus.🎉
Magnus complaining about draw when he drew 12 out 12 games with Fabiano in 2018 championship which made people question classical format
Are you what dumb??Here gukesh and ding are making boring draws by not even trying to win atleast magnus was trying to win in every game from 0.1 advantage and fabi was defending brilliantly
@@nikhildawani2913don't argue with these people they can't even handle criticism all thanks to biased commentary by chessbase india and overhyping gukesh

On Na4, Leela shows a way, which Ding might have seen. Leela's top move was Ding's preferred Nc4. So much so, even after Na4 Leela still wants to retreat to c4.
White setup would be timely b3 + Rb2 + Bc1 maneuver, against Blacks Rb6. This way you challenge the only concern of the position; c4-d3 bind.
Don’t waste your time. Magnus wants Gukesh win so levy is dickriding that brain dead “every top 10 player would go na4” nonsense
If the draws continues, at some point Gukesh will face a huge pressure as he wouldn't want to play the tiebreaks, and he will need to play aggressive and fight for win. Ding is just waiting at that moment for him to strike.
