Great video, love the pace and variation breakdowns you chose to explore. Only (hopefully helpful) critique would be using different highlighting colors when delving into multiple variations. since we can’t see your mouse cursor it can be a bit difficult to track new circles/lines popping up at times.
Great vide as usual. You are extraordinary in your calm voice and deep explorations. Only thing, in the last recap of 3 mins at the end, can you do that with pieces on the board? So much easier to follow....
Thanks Jerry, as usual for your excellent analysis. I have had to turn off the sound on the CCT Oslo live stream volume given the 😞 awful quality of the live chess commentators except possibly by D Howell.
I think we can all agree, that as Long as MC Plays chess, the world Championship is a joke, that being ding, nepo, or even the new “champion” MC is just on another level imo, may he play for many years!
That is very mistaken. The WC remains the world crown in chess. Obviously MC is the best player in the world but he is NOT the world champion anymore. The world championship is not being devaluated when someone cancels it. It is Carlsen's own decision to forego of another 3-6 potential world titles and it will definitely impact his legacy. Not in the next 30 years. But in 50-100 years also MC will be forgotten and what remains is the no. of titles, and his legacy will not be so impressive (in the recorded played games that he leaves behind it will of course). The WC is never a joke, it is always the most important title in the world, and MC does NOT have that title anymore. You can only become world champion if you actually PLAY it, if you dont you simply are not the world champion. Being the best in the world (as 'world champion') is not only about capabilities, it is also about doership. If you dont have the drive to become WC and are not willing to prepare you cannot be it. Furthermore we never actually know he would have won so easily from anyone in the WC. You still have to prove it. If you don't prove it and don't do it, someone else is the best chess player in the world, not you.
Thank you as always for these videos, Jerry!
Merry Christmas Jerry!

Playing +90% accuracy in a 10 minutes game is crazy. Kudos for MVL as well for defending in this masterpiece!
Those multi-purpose moves are the cat's meow
Yeah, superpositioning
This was a beautiful positional game,and indeed shocking that it was played ina rapid format. Thanks Jerry.
I absolutely loved the 60-second summary at the end!
A quick recap while the game is fresh helped reinforce all those wonderful ideas♟

Merry Christmas Jerry! Been watching your vids for about 10 years now
Thanks dude! 😎 Merry Xmas 🎄.
Love the thumbnail lmao!
Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for the nice analysis especially highlighting the importance of Qc1❤.
Subtle move Qc1. And thank you for watching. 👍😎
@ChessNetwork Thanks Sir.
I thought you summed it up pretty nicely at the end there.
I know what I want for Christmas now. I want that magic hat!! 😆
at 7:41 why not take kxa6? Not bad a position? Either way.

Magnus vs Gukesh 2026 would feed families
Gukesh vs Magnus vs Firouzja
Feed families what ?
Good stuff
Looks like Magnus doing his best Jack Black impression in the thumbnail. 😂
It looks so easy, when you explain it.
the return of the Queen o.O

MC is just on another level imo, may he play for many years!
I hope he will be back to candidates tournament

Hi Jerry.
The Kenny Rogers pawn promotion push - push once, twice, three times. A lady!
I love classical chess. Not rapud or blitz. It undermines the beauty of chess.
I would lije to see magnus dominate in classical
It's amazing we got Magnus in his 'prime' to enjoy still
