Early in the morn here and i read that 8 times as ms. Leko. Like miss....not...miss. 😅😂 and i was like his...daughter? Wife? (Math lady meme gif). I am more awake now
I really don't like John commentating, JH spends more time explaining things to him than talking about the games. And he speaks so much!!! Please put someone else in a tournament like this one.
I think that is kind of the point. Someone more relatable to the majority of viewers, asking questions GMs and company would quickly discard so people can learn why they are bad or good moves
These commentators are super sympathetic but not really qualified to comment on chess on this Super GM level. Leko, Howes, Hess, Polgar - where are you? For chess' sake: Bring in the cavalry!
@@leoblum0631 Robert Hess is an executive partially responsible for making the decision to place Sargent as host. What a lazy ass. Enriching himself while sitting on his ass while an 1800 rated player who knows nothing about 2800 level chess tortures real chess fans while saying the word "absolutely" every other sentence. Robert Hess, you are a lazy ass. I will say it to your face.
4:16:30 John is just on his game! The predictions and calls were great! I loved that, "Why can't I do that for my own games?" lol 😂 Right?! You have a superpower John lol I really liked the commentary and as someone with very little Chess experience I always enjoy the analysis and work through of the logic. It makes me want to play this game but I am just awful at Chess I don't understand it and when I sit in front of a board my brain has less substance in it then jello 🤣 but I love watching these as it reminds me of the time my parents used to play after work late at night and I sat in my high chair 🥹 My parents used to play all the time but not so much anymore but 30 years ago they played a ton!
Loving the commentary very much throughout this tournament. Even though we don't have some of the OGs, this roster is quite good. Hope to see this build into a nice mix of commentators. Would be great if u disable the engine for audience time to time, so the engine Andies would shut up about criticising commentators 😅. All the best for the rest of coverage.
@kofireeves-miller547 The problem is that he can't even formulate a normal question. Just listen to every his question toward Jovanka, he has to talked like for 5 mins with at least 10 sentences just to ask her, for example, how to play in a bad position. Every time it takes us a lot of time to hear his long speech which often ends up with nothing important. And, of course, his chess knowledge is only limited to stating that the bar is up or down or the move is orange or red. I don't know why chess24 ruins their own streams by having such a low commentator
Agree. He is an E-sport commentator and presumably is there to bring in a different audience. No good commentating chess, though. I mean, how does he get away with saying "..to my untrained eye"? However, Janushka is a star. Why she doesnt barf whenever Sargent opens his mouth is amazing! :)
Please no more John Sargent. He’s terrible. I want to watch high level chess, not some John learning about how moving a pawn forward creates weaknesses.
You are watching high level chess. You're simply too stupid so you need equally high level commentary. What, you think the level of play fluctuates with the level of commentary?
To all advertisers, I will not watch when John Sargent (1800 rated) is commentating. Most fans agree with me. View count is deceptive because we watch for 2 minutes, see that Sargent is there, and leave the stream.
@wkjacobs3893 are you illiterate? Let me break it down for you. Advertisers do NOT want people to watch for 2 minutes triggering the view counter, and leaving the stream quickly. Advertisers, to the contrary, want viewers to spend 3-4 hours watching the stream so that THE ADS ACTUALLY REACH THE VIEWERS. Stop propping up the trash decisions by a trash management of a trash company, and start speaking for real chess fans.
To be fair, I don't believe that being 1800 rated is the problem. There are excellent spot journalist that have never been athletes, and I believe the same is true for chess. There could excellent hosts who, instead of providing analysis, are very informed on everything outside the board and ask the right questions to those who can provide analysis. Mr Sargent does not understand this role and instead poorly imitates the analysis of the chess professionals.
I don’t have a problem with the commentators. I like Jovi especially, but not being strong grandmasters, they should look at the engine recommendations more often because sometimes their analysis is just nonsense.
If you don’t want to do a handshake with an opponent because they are women, then just don’t play the game against them. This needs to be talked about more. It is utterly disgusting
This is redicilous. I mean, Jovanka is okay. But you can't have this guy on a stream for such a big event commentating. You need at least a GM....this guy is just so terrible.

Miss Leko! Has be stopped being invited? Bring back Lenko please.
@@duncm3420 He could be busy or just not want to do it.
I’m sure it isn’t the production team that decided they didn’t want his sentences
He's the second of keymer that's why.

John Sargeant phoning all his friends to write nice comments about him to muddy the waters in the comment section. At least get Hess and Naroditsky.

This is obviously sarcasm, for those who didn't catch it.
@@hosiahjones It's not sarcasm. I meant what I wrote. What do you mean? How is it sarcasm? I think John made great predictions.

Love the positivity
John Sargent is terrible not only in chess but also in commentating
I think he’s a good commentator but it’s gotta hard to comment when you have no idea what’s going on.
Out of his depth unfortunately

JH has one of the, if not the actual best, voice in chess commentary.
Sheer delight.
Ladies and gentlemen, Danny Rensch's burner account. Absurd, condescending, and disgusting comment.
Yeah she has reporter voice

Go away stop posting the same stupid

Sargent is worst commentator ever. A major tournament is no place for on the job training.
Leko, Danya please. What is this commentary that misses things even I can find.
This is redicilous. I mean, Jovanka is okay. But you can't have this guy on a stream for such a big event commentating. You need at least a GM....this guy is just so terrible.
TATA STEEL has become a grade B tournament. Sad really. No Hans Niemann, I'm out.
See you tomorrow
@@StefanSwimmer You obviously struggle to understand. No Hans Niemann means can't watch grade B tournament. You enjoy the snoozefest though ok.
@@jaydubbs3902 ok. I'll see you there
Hans is an excellent chess player. You are the pathetic little leech hanging on to him.
we'll all miss you
Cut some slack for JH, for Tania's sake if not she will be back on Tuesday.
That will be good 😊
Terrible Commentary!
