- “The complete objectivity of losing to someone and not something. You beat yourself up for hours. It’s entirely your fault in a way that almost nothing else in life is. And it eats and weighs on you. Chess is a very dangerous parasite.” - Robert Hess, Grandmaster
Magnus Carlsen, the greatest chess player alive, has never before been down in a world chess championship... until he faces Sergey Karjakin, a man who is hungry to see the roles reversed.

Corrections:
The game of the century between Fischer & Byrne was played in 1956, not 1965
The first World Championship match was played in 1886, not 1866
Ruy Lopez* (I incorrectly spelled Ruy Lopez with an o)
Dude.. I am in tears, carlson closed with the best most fatherly warm speech ever..
A grown man is crying lmao agreeed
*Carlsen
Carlos Magnussen
after sulking so badly after losing a game i lost interest in carlsen.
@@standardtuning4guitars423 Then you must hate most of chess players.
The last moments hit me harder than a ton of bricks. Growing up without a dad I always wonder if I will ever be a good one. I was expecting just chess a docu but left thinking about my life. Weird. This video is a piece of art itself.
I'm sure you will man! Lost my dad when I was 13, I'm now 22 and am only now understanding everything he did for me.
Same here, lost my father when I was 14. But, god has been kind. Looking forward to be the best father I can be.
@@prateekpani9464 I'm sure you'll be great man!
My Dad passed on in 1997; I was 17.
I haven't watched this video yet but my dad passed away last year, I'm 26. Guess I'm in for a bit of an emotional rollercoaster with this chess documentary!
Fischer wasn't 13 in 1965. He was 22. He was 13 in 1956. But the gamer reference is excellent, and excellent documentary!
You’re right, I mixed the years up! I’ll edit the description with a correction, thank you for the catch.
@@FlameIsLucky No worries, work of art there!
I could not stop myself from crying a little at the end of the video. What a sacrifice. Incredible documentary, fully engaging throughout, LOVED IT!
The love and sacrifice of a parent so that their child can be greater than them is deeply touching. That is true love in it's purest form
That is the best documentary I've ever seen, the composition, the history lessons, the music and the perfect build-up to the end, touché!
eh, its alright, a lot of juxtaposition of images, not enough depth
If you liked this, I recommend the AlphaGo documentary
the classic US pronunciation of "Alekhine"... the dude's just an imposter.
Ditto
You know this is like zelda TotK music right
29k views? criminally underrated, such a captivating & moving piece deserves much more ❤
Currently at 187k in over 4 months. Still extremely underrated
Unbelievably underrated video. This film was masterfully put together. You have a real eye for this!
Ive been going through many video essays this weekend but this one just delivers so much intensity and uncertainty. Even though I knew Magnus would win because of the way you portrayed it I wasn't even sure anymore. The writing was pure excellence. And your voice only adds to the greatness of the video essay. Thank you so much made my night 10/10
Nobody commenting about the Pokemon battle theme in the background always makes battles more serious and iconic
Do you know who sang that version?
I was so confused that I stopped paying attention to the video and was listening for the word "Pokemon" because I legitimately thought The Pokemon Company might have purchased the song from whoever sang it here. It sounded like it could be the original.
Its extremely unfortunate that such a well done video essay/doc has only 209k views and that you only have 17k subs. I hope you know how appreciated your work is and what a good job you did. I hope that you get the views/subs you deserve.
This video definitely took some time to create. I appreciate the historical background reference during many of the different moments as well as the videos of the upbringing of the players. Very well done video.
This channel is about to TAKE off. Ive watched so many documentaries on youtube, but none of them really come close to the editing, production, and expert audience engagement that yours does. Great Job dude, and keep it up!
I love your documentaries, you are such a gifted storyteller/writer. You should be so proud of your hard work because every documentary I've seen from you has been an experience I'll remember.
Thank you for the video, much love.
One of the best documentaries I've seen on youtube, congrats
Wow , what a spectacular documentary.
I loved the narration, the Natuto OSTs and cowboy bepop clips.
Kudos to your editing , great stuff.
ive never said this to any youtuber ever but you are the most underrated channel in here. i hope you get the recognition you deserve
I hope you do more coverage of other events! This was fantastic! So much effort with clips and visuals from so many things to follow along with the narrative. This was my first world championship since getting into chess and it was so cool to relive these moments! Thank you thank you!
One of the greatest Chess documentaries ever made. Amazing work. A great summary of Championship Chess over the ages, and it's consequences now, while highlighting the strength of the greatest ever player.
This was truly one of the most amazing videos I’ve ever seen on this platform. It’s absolutely shocking to realise that you still have such a small following. You earned a subscriber today. Hope to see more content from you. Cheers.
You have a great story-telling talent - this is the best documentary I have seen for at least a month on YT
This was amazingly put together. Everything even the smallest detail was the finest quality. Thank you.
The best player won, and now the once-Ukrainian dude sits in Russia with his rubles, never to visit another free nation for the rest of his life while supporting the genocide of Ukrainians. The Quisling of Ukraine sits on a shelf he built himself, probably very pleased with his rubles and the fact that he will not be sent along on a Z-army suicide mission in his old homeland. I just had to get that off my chest since the disgrace dumped on the Ukrainians in general makes me more than mildly annoyed.
Thank you for an awesome documentary, Flamels. You deserve way more than 10k subs, thus I subbed to bring you closer to that absolute minimum target since this was more engaging than what most million subs channels use to hide the lack of a good script and research by blowing up something expensive.
You, sir, are a storyteller. Keep working on your art. I am waiting for your new post in the future.
What a great document, honestly one of the best I’ve ever watched. Good job man!
I love this documentary, it feels so legendary. Your work deserves more recognition, keep it up man!
This documentary has earned you my subscription, you have done well, I hope you go far, this was very well edited, paced, and, most importantly, documented.
thank you so much for this very amazing documentary, it's so good and the music is perfect too, and please make more chess documentaries.
One the best hours I've spent on youtube. Thank you for creating this documentary! Enjoyed it very much.
Really impressive documentary. You deserve a lot more views.
Incredible quality, just discovered your channel and feel compelled to watch your other videos. You are doing something right!
This video is like a documentary made by professionals. I am very impressed and thankful for it and I always love to see chess coverage by people who's channels are not only about chess. Keep up the good work and I wish you all the best in the future.
Brilliant work, wonderful documentary! Watched every second and even replayed for the brilliant final mate.
just want to say your videos are so incredibly masterful please never stop what you do every video is so amazing
This is amazing! Would be really interesting to see another documentary about the last Championship, with Ding Liren.
Ding is unbelievably boring. Won in one of the lowest quality championship matches of all time and then disappeared completely. Not good for chess at all.
@@Jeff-dr3euSi basically the Guy who didn't even qualify for the Candidates before the WCC and winning it against the worlds top players and winning the title against onr of the greatest players of this decade "boring"?
Bro, THANK YOU SO MUCH. Amazing documentary, you are truly talented. Best of luck today and always!
i just watched your Yuto doc; now I'm watching this, you're so talented. keep this all up
This was amazing! I really hope u do more chess documentaries!
An excellent documentary. Well done and thanks for putting it together for us to watch.
This is an amazing documentary. Thank you for making it.
By far the best chess documentary on youtube! I've watched countless videos about chess and yours was unique. Maybe do another one about Judith Polgar or Kasparov :)
How has every video of yours that I've watched so far just made me sob at one point or another
I can't wait to see what you upload next
Your documentaries are incredible. First the Yuto one, now this.... never stop man you have a serious gift for cinematography.
An absolute perfect & warm speech that Magnus delivered from his heart. You could really feel the emotions building when he spoke about the 1 man in his life that sacrificed everything for his Son's dream, to be The World Champion & now the defending World Champion! Talk about making you parents, family, friends & fans so proud with a brilliant comeback!
I just started watching Magnus 2 mths ago so this was A Chess Documentary that really helped me learn & discover what Magnus has accomplished throughout his chess life.
Congratulations on defending your World Championship Title. Yes, I cried at the end for Magnus, what a sublime victory! You have also inspired me to start playing Chess & my daughters bought me a chess board on my B-day, Apr 10/24 to start learning, I'm having fun at the age of 57! Thank you for your contributions to the world of Chess! You are the GOAT of Chess! You moved me...Susan from Toronto Ontario Canada.
always the small youtubers with the bangers. great vid man
Thank you for making this incredibly well made
i started watching you from the Yuto Skateboarbing vid, and i still can not understand how on the world your channel and the piece of art that it is has less then 10k subs.
keep up the amazing work Giga-King :D
Amazing work man! Enjoyed every minute of this.
Superb… thank you so much for putting your work into this
Words can't describe how excited I was to see you post a chess documentary
Absolutely fantastic documentary thats well researched and a great watch. Could've done without the anime but the overall editing was sublime
Please make more videos like these about Magnus Carlsen. His journey, struggle and feats he accomplished are things I could watch forever. It's something about him being so dominant that inspires others.
This channel is amazing. It deserves more views
man ! who are you ?? 2 videos down from you and already it's the 2 best and interesting documentary i've seen ! great job
Awesome documentary. This needs more views.
This documentary is breathtaking. Incredible job!
This is genuinely one of the best pieces of film I have ever watched. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this.
This is a documentary done phenomenally. May be once in a century work of art
Beautiful documentary. Thank you for making this. What a story. What a legend. And most importantly, what a game.
Wow bro top notch quality, ill be watching your other docs even if im not interested in the subject. You got skills
Love your documentaries. Please dont stop making them
This was incredibly well made and the anime cross over visuals was a cool look into your own personal style of editing. Well done!!
i don't understand how you don't have more followers. The quality of work for your documentaries is off the charts!
Thank you, I really enjoyed your documentary.

Amazing docu! Even tho I already know most if not all of these events, the way it was presented was so beautiful I almost cried
This was so entertaining to watch , amazing content delivered impeccably
Underrated Chess video. Great work!
Congratulations on a magnificent and well told documentary on this world championship and both players. Very well done.
This docu is very well written. Bravo!
Best documentary about chess and one of the best documentaries ive ever seen
great doco man, keep grinding algorithm is gonna pick you up soon.
My bro, this was Very good. Perfect balance between actual chess and The storylines. 10/10
Thank you for this great documentary. I enjoyed it very much.
Probably the best chess documentary I have seen. Bravo.
Wow. This has to be one of the best, if not *the* best documentary here. Just wow.
This was truly a great documentary. Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. Subscribed 🙌🏼. Ps I think you meant Ruy Lopez in the caption. Maybe auto correct betrayed you lol.
Very nice video, heart-felt. Good job
This was a brilliant video! Thank you so much for this!
Exceptionally crafted video and storytelling, thank you
A very good video, amazing storytelling. You have suceeded at making a wonderful and engaging piece of media. I just checked your channel and saw the aMSa video, i knew i recognised you. Keep it up!
Bravo, this documentary is magnificent. I watch a lot of documentaries and this one was simply splendid! As other commenters have written, it managed to transcend the superficial subject (chess) into one much more deeper about life itself.
Incredible detail and storytelling my guy!
amazing documentary, dude! really, really awesome!
This is easily the best piece of DOCUMENTARY I've ever experienced.., This is a masterpiece man, keep doing stuff like this and your carrier would catch the boom.! Great Man..!!!!
55:35 if Karjakin immediately resigns after the queens sacrifice it means that it was not that complicated a sacrifice. It was not like the game of the century
I mean, it was a great game AS A WHOLE, but the final move in and of itself wasn't hard to find AT THIS POINT.
It's a mate in 2...
I agree that comparing it to Fischer's game makes no sense.
Thanks for this, i got really emotional at the end... Made me appreciate even more the memories i have of my father...
Bro its insane how good your documentaries are with only 23k subs - I've watched this about 5 times and king ding one, the climbing one a few times and skateboarding one like 4 times, I started played chess because of this documentary! I gaurentee you'll have 1M subs if you keep this up
What an excellent documentary! Juxtaposing real life events with the quiet war over the board, and to such dramatic effect!
Really good work! Thank you and subscribed.
A great film...so thoughtfully and beautifully conceived and constructed.
Really nice video. Definitely underrated
What a beautiful and well-crafted video
The quality of this documentary is incredible!
I really was straight chilling on this doc for the first 20ish minutes and once I heard the Aphex Twins music roll I knew I had to immediately hit the like on this one. Great job on this video!
What a fantastic documentary. Thank you
The story telling and the editing and music is top tier pls do more
