The opening and position in the first quarter of the video looks very standard. Almost like a game I've played. Surprised it's between two of the world's toppies.
I wonder why Epic has not grown in two years to 1M subscribers. "Epic Chess 64.8K subscribers". Deserves more. Epic gives little tips throughout the game that are very good for more advanced players. And he's funny. I think he's better than Levy, who caters to 400 Elo players especially kids. But, that's RUclips for you. Hope I see this channel to at least 200k subscribers two years from now.
Agree Epic>Levi. Levi caters to high school and middle school students and uses click bait, which is why I unsubbed and stumbled upon Epic Chess. No click bait, witty commentary, and solid chess tips.
@@MotuBiral I said he caters to patzers, that's not an insult just stating the obvious. I myself subscribe to him and listen to him at 2x speed, which makes him more entertaining.
@@raylopez99 lmao that sounds hilarious imma try that out. Idk what patzers means and cant look it up now. Im a 35 years old man and I love watching how to lose at chess that is too funny
@@MotuBiral It takes about 10 years before you hit a "plateau" and level off in Elo in chess...so keep losing, its good for you. I'm about 2100 (peak) at LiChess blitz and I can play without even thinking one or two moves ahead since I've lost so many times I know what mistakes to avoid.
Carlsen cares for players and know the ups and downs. After Candidates Firouzja was very depressed. He is a better blitz player, when opponents have time to think, he has trouble beating them with the less accurate moves that occur in Blitz Check his accuracy for the tournament. However Carlsen likes the challenge of playing odd opening in Blitz to see if he can still win. This time he got caught. And, Firouzja's confidence is bouyed.
Giving Alireza a one pawn lead with a rubbish opening may actually be a bit much even for Magnus, he should only do that with lesser GM's, not Super GM's 😄
Good game if nothing else shows the talent Alireza is capable of so many people were dumping on him because of his bad showing in the candidates it’s just something that happens I think he’ll be back to his winning ways and Great Chess again now that the pressure is no longer there Thanks for the Game James enjoy your day
Carlsen didn't really get destroyed. Still, it looked like he wasn't even trying. Play a bad line as black against a strong player and realistically you can only hope for a draw. What's the fun in that? I was surprised by Firouzja's f2-f4 pawn break, though, as this is usually the wrong plan in these types of positions. The plan with b2-b4 and at some point c4-c5 begged to be played.
ohhh did he start that now you say it vaguely rings a bell! Wasn't even meaning too lol, someone commented it so I played off that but now I see where they must have got it from!

I downloaded this app. No bullshit this thing is actually really dope. $4/month is well worth it if you can afford it.
He who controls the Carlsen controls the board.
But he who can destroy a thing controls it. So does that I need to hold a gun to Carlsen's head to improve my Elo?
We all owe Liam Neeson for bringing our beloved epic chess home safely! Not all heroes wear capes
2 fast 2 firouzjious
When I clicked on this video I played Nc6 as Black in a blitz game. I won it then another won. Thank you, Maggie.

Epic is great but no need to shit on Levi. They both have their place and are both phenomenal presenters

Naka and Firouja came into titled Tuesday fuming from the candidates. Great recap as always, thanks mate!
Alireza performed his Magnus opus lmao
Love it 😁 very good

agreat win there for firouzja. Thanks James.

In my books, a loss doesn't count if your first move is intentionally a "nonsense" move, as it was in this case.
Please try some different setup chess, such as Scramble.
It's a good thing you don't write the book of logic in this world.
Another sweet game review, bae! &Props to your editor!😊
I edit altho I didn’t really do anything in this one!
Epic Chess will destroy the 66.667 subs barrier, soon!
hahaa one day :D
F he came up with some funny shorts and made them only appear to non subs, his numbers would increase. YT is as much strategy as it is content.
haha you're hilarious. Great recap!
Shouldn't it be like the revenge of faruja destroys Carlson? Or something like that
I think Magnus forgot about chess book
Can't beat the dinosaur stuff!!! 😂😂😂
Great to see Alireza winning (in great fashion i may add) and keeping his haters honest…

idk the deep hidden meaning of this comment but I'm gonna love heart it... thanks for watching!
I love your video content
Great video!
Sure seems like MC is getting rusty.
Absolut Nonsens! Who is the firouza, World Champion?
Why is Magnus losing this much?
I think he is bored😂
He is winning a lot too I’ve just covered a few losses lately haha, thanks a lot for the channel support greatly appreciated!
Nice

Stealing Levy's hostage videos 😀
ohhh did he start that now you say it vaguely rings a bell! Wasn't even meaning too lol, someone commented it so I played off that but now I see where they must have got it from!
