Welcome to the community! If you learn chess, you'd be even MORE hooked! It, also, helps when it's explained WITHOUT the "explanation of the alphanumerics assigned to each square"..... THAT part will come. Enjoy the journey!
It is "en croissant" btw. It's derivation is from the 18th century, when a GrandMaster at the time was playing chess against his wife one morning, whilst eating buttery, flakey pastries. His greasy fingers accidentally moved the prawn on to the wrong square, hence the term "en croissant" was born
An intellectual explains difficult subjects with complexity, an artist explains difficult subjects with simplicity. You sir are an artist and a bit of a comedian, good blend.
I said it before, top level commentary with good sense of rhyming comedy. I don’t even know where H5 square is without looking at the board but this my favourite channel. All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

Gotta admit this was one of my personal Magmaximus fav game! I mean the tactical endgame play before middle game was eye-opening... is that another opening? You can't help but study his games, craziest openings included!
Why I didn't know about your channel before , it's really amazing you not saying that stupid notations which really bores everyone, I like your style ❤
@@epicchess2021 Thank you, I looked up the rules online and I didn't know that was actually a move in chess. You're awesome, thank you so much for the entertainment and high quality humor.
Dude, I'm proud of your channel and so happy for you. You content is pure quality, excitement and humor. Hope your dreams come true, friend. Keep on rocking. 🤘🏻
I am gonna be honest, I saw the move Bg4 attacking the queen then Bd6 allowing the capture at the start but I'm only 1800 and nowhere near his level 😅.
Great play by Magnus very active king marching into battle I liked that he took with his knight making it more active than taking with pawn especially with his Rook on b7 Game over Thanks James
en croissant---? How delicious... ^^ A turkey in my high school chess club used to constantly say "EL passant". We used to ridicule him for his Spanish maneouvre. "Olè!"
Mentioning Bob Rock from Alan Ford made me think how old are you. I mean that comic was popular like 40 years ago when i was a kid. Awesome nonetheless
I thought we were supposed to smash the unsubscribe button, leave negative reviews on Yelp and make sure to keep mum about the channel to all our friends. ? :)
@@epicchess2021 Today I checkmated Fritz 16 online amateur level in 21 moves. I have this idea that any one move can fairly drastically change the outcome of a game and if the opponent makes 2 not-so-good moves in a row... well, you can win. haha I happened to see the old Greek Gift sacrifice available and got my queen 2 squares in front of the king with all his pieces bunched up, unable to come to his rescue. But to GET to that point of being able to execute the bishop sac was more a matter of Fritz playing the "wrong" moves because my play was basically a photocopy of the London opening I have been playing so... ? But my brain is too preoccupied with other stuff to really advance much in chess BUT it was very satisfying beating Fritz so quickly. :) Rock on.
You are an excellent communicator, and I thoroughly your penetrating analysis. Thank you for your hard work in putting together the story line. Please note, however, that your well narrated, and highly skilled presentations are diminished by the constant introduction of cute cartoons. They are a distraction that deprecates the flow of analytical thought and the intellectual pleasure of following the development.
You know this is a great channel when someone who doesn’t even play chess is waiting for the next video to be posted! I’m hooked!
oh awesome glad you're enjoying! thanks a lot for watching

A fun commentary on a very instructive endgame thanks James.
❌ Double en passant : 🚶♂️🚶♂️
✔ Double en croissant : 🥐🥐
Crazy tasty hasty pastry.
I heard the same ;-). Funny

Magnusaurus Carlnivorous . When challenged, it often eats you alive in response, uncooked.
I like this one…
haha v good
No one puts Rookie in the corner..classic.
Epic Cheddar Internet Search History: “goat with massive balls”.. 🌝
🤣🤣
Nah I think that one was in the private stash 😂
I don't dare to give this to "DALL-E".
Tolkien not happy.
In fairness he didn't write that one or the other six.
Little known fact: the first en passant played in BC 7,043 inspired the settling of the Nile River valley.
I thought it was 1066 when William The Conqueror used a serf as a warhorse, hence _On Peasant._

I thought it was “on crescent”, connected to some Muslim symbolism, provoked into existence during the Sixth or Seventh Crusade.
The only videos I watch at 1x speed on the entire internet. Worth. Every. Moment.
haha thanks a lot that is a real compliment!
Magnesium Carbide!!!
This is easily 1 of the best vids ever uploaded on RUclips

Bruh, how did we not get a shot of Magnus with a Bob Ross fro?
I know sorry I need to do that was being lazy lol

Hilarious commentary - including the goat photos! Love the coverage of the Cadas Opening: the best anywhere. Kudos and many thanks!
The increasing sophistication of chess commentary since Mato Jelic has been wild to watch.
Your channel is giving me so much joy, your humor is top notch
Thanks very much really glad to hear it!
Watching that evaluation bar at 0:03 is a thing of beauty lol!
Sharing this channel with my friends. Great job editing and presenting.
thanks very much really appreciate it!
And did you said “en croissant” or “en passant”?
Now, my turn to make a French/English joke:
En passant, I love your sense of humour.
First one haha and thanks very much!
@@epicchess2021 - you're a very naughty boy -
new chess players won't get the joke. LOL
Man you made me laugh out loud!!
Haha glad to hear thanks for watching
3:20 Nobody wants multiple pawn islands ... looks at Carlsen's pawns
Glad I wasn't the only one.

it's called en passant!

Who would've thought that that creative writing class could be monetized one day? 😂
Haha idk who this is but that was literally my degree but maybe you know that somehow idk! Thanks for watching anyway
Odd, haven't a clue regarding chess, but find the world of same absorbing, in awe of these intellects.
You won't like me when I'm angry.
Taken them out of their openings knowledge then crush them with your deep understanding of chess. Like my games.
"Complete munching pawn on the king." My new band.
you had me at "you can't put rookie in the corner" - so casual :)))))
You won me over with "mushrooms" LOL
Love seeing the rook lifts employed
I've never heard of "en passant"! That is a crazy move that I'm sure many players don't know of or remember!
Gotta appreciate fishing on poisson
You are to chess what Phil Liggitt is to cycling. Brilliant.
many blunders, but your commentary, as always, is hillarious

Thanks for the chess history! I had no idea en croissant was so old! 😃
🤣❤️
Absolutely the best commentary ever!
thanks a lot glad you enjoyed!
Yeah. This is a great no nonsense channel
Did he stream the Titled Tuesday before that where he played the Vih Sou opening every game and finished with 8/11?
I don't think so that I know of, barely streams these days
You should ask ChatGPT for more clever Magnus Carlsen funny nicknames.
Prawn croissant
Taking en croissant is the most delicious move
Missed out on moving the bishop into position early
5:32 Great content
So what is this opening actually called? I want to research it more.
Kadas
10:36 "Double en-croasant" 😂
What about Bxd5 after Ke5? It momentarily attacks the rook
Love the punch to fake lord of the rings:)
Absolutely Brilliant commentary ... Such a crazy game... Perfect for Magnus the magnificent 🤩
Thanks a lot cheers for watching!
Your Lord of the rings and GOT references are so good 😂 classic British stuff. I wonder what's your favorite football club though 🤔
haha thanks and I don't really follow football tbh, more rugby, Northampton Saints!

Did magnus stream this match?
Magnesium Charleston.
Time for an online petitition to outlaw silly nicknames like "Magnanimous Carlsbad". But wait, where would all the fun go?
In 50 years, I have never tied or lost a money game...
Was looking at the thumbnail is he the new *Green Lantern* too?
Subscribed. You are too smooth with the colour commentary.

"... But he doesn't deserve this treatment." (!!)
Dang, did black realize being moveordered into a Tarrasch defense? g6 in this case made h4 too powerful of a move

Tbh it wouldn't be Epic Cheese without them.
Magnus is just amazing.
When he says "pawn" and lits up Andrea Botez in the corner I only hear "porn" 🙂
