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.
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 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!
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
This title defense was a leasson to karlsen on how to play against players who are equally good at classical chess. Thats why he played 12 draws against Caruana much easier than against Karjakin. He knew in the tie break, noone can keep up. Karjakin was his biggest challenge
Wasn’t aware you had made this and incorporated so much of the structure of my book. It’s very well done and I appreciate you sourcing the content as you have. Bravo. Would be interested in discussing. Please send some contact info. Regards, Brin-Jonathan Butler.
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 :)
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"?
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
he is a talented dude for sure! i cant imagine how good his doc's are. saw 2 of his docs last year and somehow forgot about this channel, even when i subbed to him back then i never saw his uploads in my feed :/ so glad i found him again! i wonder how he learned it because it was quality from the very beginning, maybe he had another channel in the past or he is just talented as heck
Carlsen karjakin was the first world title match i follow since i start watching and paying chess. This brought a lot of memories and feeling. Beautiful documentary. It redeems my memory of Karjarkin as the best he was back then and the last really contested title for Magnus. Really glad to stumble upon this video. We are lucky to live the Magnus era.
100%. i think its because they start doing it as a hobby and really love to create masterpieces like the doc's this guy does. He is not in for the money you can tell. if it pays him a little,great, but i dont think that is his main goal. He simply tell stories about the things he like. maybe a lot of the huge youtubers start like this aswell but the bigger they get the more they focus on quantity. not everyone but i would say like 80% for sure😂 its sad to see a youtuber you loved in the past slowly turning into shit the bigger they get haha sry for the long text i just thought about it and you right, smaller channels often make some bangers especially this dude
What a lot of people don't understand that genius is not natural Only through work ,compulsion, and addiction does anyone master anything Josh waitzkin talked about this It takes away from the players work to say talent and genius were the reason for his success
Holy crap! This was brilliant! Way to go, man. I will be showing my friends this. A great documentary. Edit: Also, i can totally tell you're an anime fan xD Props for including so much epic music and scenes from that. Loved it.
Wow, this documentary on the chess grandmaster is absolutely the best I've ever seen! The depth of insight and the captivating storytelling truly set it apart. I can't express enough gratitude for the creators of this video. The hard work and dedication that went into making this documentary is truly awe-inspiring. I was so mesmerized by the storytelling and the journey of Magnus Carlsen that I found myself moved to tears. The level of detail and the emotional depth captured is a testament to the incredible effort put in by the video maker. This video, and indeed the entire RUclips channel, is so underrated. It deserves much more recognition for the quality content it consistently delivers. Thank you for this masterpiece, it has touched my heart deeply. 🙏 It's a must-watch for anyone interested in the world of chess. 🙌
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
I like the storttelling of this one. Good job. But the editing can be a bit less intense. I think it is a bit distracting from the good writing. Sometimes less is more ☺️
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.
My opinion on why Sergey is Pro-Putin or supports Russia's Invasion of Ukraine is rather simple: During his early life, despite begging for support from the Ukrainian government he never got it, Russia sees his potential and not only supports him but his family too. Combine that with the fact that he is Crimean and it's easy to understand why he sees Putin as a hero
Upon unbiased investigation of facts surrounding USSR Russia province states ie Ukraine and the population unanimous choice elected to have Russia continue to protect them which Ukraine leader breaches contract As a move similar to Britain, state of Israel expansionism... Moving people out of their homelands to move in others is unconscionable unnatural.... Corruption needs to be void ab initio.
@@aum0aumgood Then when are the Tatars getting back their homes after being deported by Stalin?? Ohh wait only ethnic Russian can claim homes not anyone else. Guess what next they'll probably invade Latvia because Putin thinks ethnic Russians are treated like pigs there. So now let's use this ethnic Russian speakers as weapon to invade countries lol
What a gem, this definitely deserves more than 124k views 3 months in. Kudos to the creator and please keep em coming, will go through the other vids shortly :)
Best Chess documentry I have ever watched This is mind blowing A piece of art I hope future chess players will see it I can only describe this documentry in one word "Masterpiece"
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..!!!!
Great movie, climaxing exactly on point. Magnus' words to his father made me emotional and envious. For my next life I wish for a supporting father, and more than that - to be a supporting father myself. Thank you for this inspiring experience.
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!
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.
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!
@@FlameIsLuckyplease make a separate channel for your unedited videos and thumbnails!

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!
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
Unbelievably underrated video. This film was masterfully put together. You have a real eye for this!
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

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.
One of the best documentaries I've seen on youtube, congrats
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 is a documentary done phenomenally. May be once in a century work of art
I love this documentary, it feels so legendary. Your work deserves more recognition, keep it up man!
Wow , what a spectacular documentary.
I loved the narration, the Natuto OSTs and cowboy bepop clips.
Kudos to your editing , great stuff.
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.

One the best hours I've spent on youtube. Thank you for creating this documentary! Enjoyed it very much.
Your documentaries are incredible. First the Yuto one, now this.... never stop man you have a serious gift for cinematography.

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 :)
What an excellent documentary! Juxtaposing real life events with the quiet war over the board, and to such dramatic effect!
My bro, this was Very good. Perfect balance between actual chess and The storylines. 10/10
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.

complete misunderstanding of the robert frost poem, but otherwise a great video, love the use of xtal

Probably the best chess documentary I have seen. Bravo.
Incredible quality, just discovered your channel and feel compelled to watch your other videos. You are doing something right!
Brilliant work, wonderful documentary! Watched every second and even replayed for the brilliant final mate.

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
I watched this with absolute certainty this video would have millions of views
Awesome documentary. This needs more views.
Karjakin's journery and chess ability were lovingly assessed..
Thanks for this, i got really emotional at the end... Made me appreciate even more the memories i have of my father...
Absolutely fantastic documentary thats well researched and a great watch. Could've done without the anime but the overall editing was sublime

I can only describe this documentry in one word
"Masterpiece"
You really nailed it with this documentary. I don't even play and I was glued to it.
Never seen a Chess documentary before but this should be the standard of having one!
I recommend "Anything To Win" about Bobby Fischer. You can find it on YT. A pretty awesome watch in my opinion.
What a beautiful and well-crafted video
Absolute masterpiece of a video.
this was a wonderful video to watch. really really sweet at the end. thank you for the good time
