Why not *"Alireza Friouzja wins with 48% berserk"* for the title of this video? Instead, it's "Magnus Carlsen goes 36% berserk" (and wins second place) I love Magnus, but gotta respect the kid too. Alireza has been dominating Titled Arena for a while now.
1:22:00 - no one cares what you think. The only reason majority of us tolerate the sound of your voice, is so they can watch the world champion. No to listen to your insufferable rambling.
Jerry. I simply could not enjoy these games as much if you weren’t doing the commentary. The sense of joy and insight you bring to these games really allows to share in this with you in the games. You are an absolute treasure.
My man! You are THE BEST chesscaster I have ever watched. I love the way you keep pace perfectly with these blitz/bullet games, and show the excitement.
31:10 "He's in the tank" "Novelty!?" "Let's gooo!!" "Connection issues?" "Not berserking and just gonna give a minute?" "Bathroom break?" Gave away so many possible answers.. And finally "I don't have answers"😂
I’ve been watching you for many years, and watching now I’ve realized that you aren’t just my favorite chess commentator but you’re my favorite person to watch anything about. Your soul just reflects a levity that is so calming for me. Thank you.
this event got me on the edge of my seat. three hours of pure entertainment with great chess and even better commentary. thank you so much for this jerry in these times.
I just wanted to let you know... I’ve fallen asleep to so many of your videos! And I honestly mean that in the biggest compliment way ever..! I’ve also stayed up on sleepless nights so entertained by your content, as I scroll back years worth of your videos and I’ve prob watched em all, whether while awake or subconsciously while asleep lol. I’m not sure if it’s made me any better at chess... but I do know I feel confident I’ve seen more chess games than anyone I meet has, which makes me pretty good lol.
I can only watch this tournament complete with your broadcasting, tried several channels, even in my mother tongue, but you are the best with these lichess tournaments
You have an amazing voice man thanks for casting! I have a big sleeping Problem but listen to your soft voice casting the amazing carlsen makes me sleep within minutes. Thank you
This is the perfect time mode for your commentary. Those casual comments about not allowing too much space or finding the best spot for the knight etc are so helpful for understanding the main ideas of the next few moves. Thankyou so much!
The best titled arena ever ... specially... (cant emphasize this enough) ... specially with your awesome commentary Jerry ... I live in a country that is hit really bad by the corona virus and your videos really help to have a good spirit... thank you 🙏
You really do an amazing job at commenting/explaining. Its less subdued/confusing than the usual hansen/rensch commentary. Its pointed, explains no superfluous detail, and nearly every sentence gives me something I hadnt thought about. Really enjoying watching this, thank you. Do you regularly stream on twitch? Would love to catch a livestream. In any case, hope you are safe and well!
Wish you commentated for pro chess events. I learned so much just by watching this video. It’s nice to see magnus play but also have you break it all down
Love you Jerry, thanks for doing the titled arena. I love seeing these rapid games. I learn so much from the games. Your commentary is insightful and entertaining. Perfect combination. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much.
Hey Jerry, you are my favorite chess RUclipsr! Thanks for making constant content and congrats on 400k subs! I've been with you since sub 100k! You think you'll ever expand on your chess beginner to master series? You seriously helped my game!
I feel like the fly on the wall at a nuclear physics conference. I enjoy the warmth of the room but I'm not sure why people are taking. "Thoughts of a solid 900 player."
Well done Alireza, very very talented. Carlsen phenomenal player but lost too many games in this tournament. Thank you Jerry, awesome content as always. Congrats on reaching 400k subs. The number of times I've fallen asleep listening to your commentary :P
i think carlsen should have just taken the risk and berserked more. i feel like thats what made the difference between him and alireza winning. props to alireza though for being able to play so good berserking nearly half his games.
magnus has gotten a lot weaker in blitz.He is definitely not at the level he was 5 years ago. Thats just facts. His classical and rapid remain godlike still on the other hand.
Hey Jerry! I have a request :) Can you do more classical games on Lichess where you analyze what is happening? I think those videos are great because you are able to explain your thought process in a way that helps me improve my own game. It's better than anything else on youtube. Other narrations either go over my head or are not explained helpfully. I also think it would be awesome if you would do them in a series by opening. For example a few games with Sicilian, then French Defense etc.
bishop takes Q is the best move. Bxb6 then black plays Rc1+, white plays Kd2, black plays Rxh1, white plays Qb5+, black plays Kf7, and lastly white plays Bb7 defending the pawn on e5. Likely, he didnt see Bishop x Q on b6. basically you are playing without a knight and rook for about 10+ or so moves (the knight on b2 gets pinned to the rook). but black bishop is staring at nothing and 1 of blacks rooks is in the corner h1. so basically white is attacking with bishop and Q and black is defending with a bad bishop, knight, and rook. Computer says white is +7.5. He probably was afraid of Qxb6 and then rook moves is discovered check. So he took the rook with knight, and now there is no funny business. but immediately after he plays Nxc3 Jerry says "he missed that he had queen there" and he clicked on b6 where the queen was. This implies that carlson missed there was a queen he couldve taken with the bishop.
I think his decision is just easier. Do you win a full rook with no conpensation and an easy way forward to win, or do you win more material but allow complications?
Hey Jerry, I think Magnus had another idea at 2:32:50 when he slid his rook to f1 besides trying to get the kingside pawns rolling. If he got his king over to h1 and the position stayed similar, then there was a very neat tactic other than just trying to push kingside pawns. Although black would probably not fall for it, they might because it would involve Magnus giving up the exchange for the third time in the game. For example, after Rf1, if a4, Kh1, and axb3? (Perhaps hoping to play Ba6 after Bishop recaptures on b3 in order to put pressure on c4 square as well as attack rook) However, white wouldn’t respond with Bxb3, but instead with Rxf6! If black doesn’t recapture, the white just wins back the bishop. If black does recapture with either the pawn or the rook, white will play his queen to g7 with check. Obviously black can’t block check with f file rook and Ke8 drops the queen. If Kd8, then white can play Bb6! Black can’t recapture since it wouldn’t be with check, hence the Kh1 move earlier, and white would respond to Qxb6 with Qd7#. So Magnus would’ve at least won back queen for rook in the end. Although it was a long shot, it is a blitz game and if black got too distracted by the queen side and their own plan, it might’ve worked.
Man, let me say this; you're a great commentator! I watched the whole tournament without getting bored, haha. You're probably gonna be a Grandmaster soon.
It's funny to see Carlsen playing all these junk openings with both sides with crazy wing pawn advances and somehow having amazingly promising positions straight away lol
@@satarkhan3692 Alireza is great and a beast in speed chess, but he is not at the Magnus level yet. Give it a couple years and we will finally have a worthy contender.
@@TTArt I did not say he is as good as Carlsun yet, but in terms of creativity, making unusual moves and specially sacrificing pieces I've never seen anyone like him even though Magnus is the master in all of those too
Mmmhh looks like if you grab the bishop, Qb8+ destroy you, if you block with the rock you get mated and if you move your king you push the a pawn and the b pawn its pinned due to the unprotected queen

ChessNetwork great vid, Jerry! I love these long format commentary vids. Hope you’re proud of yourself!😊
Why not *"Alireza Friouzja wins with 48% berserk"* for the title of this video?
Instead, it's "Magnus Carlsen goes 36% berserk" (and wins second place)
I love Magnus, but gotta respect the kid too. Alireza has been dominating Titled Arena for a while now.

@@kikerconley444 Nah, a lot of us listen for Jerry

Jerry.

Thank you Leonard.
Without a doubt, the best chess commentator I’ve ever listened to. Calm, collected, witty, intelligent-the whole package. Keep it up.
10:00
Jerry's sheer, innocent disappointment when he thinks chat lied to him killed me.
Jerry always deserves joy
My man! You are THE BEST chesscaster I have ever watched. I love the way you keep pace perfectly with these blitz/bullet games, and show the excitement.
Man this Jerry is Kind of a thing :)
31:10 "He's in the tank"
"Novelty!?"
"Let's gooo!!"
"Connection issues?"
"Not berserking and just gonna give a minute?"
"Bathroom break?"
Gave away so many possible answers..
And finally "I don't have answers"😂
I love this magnus carlsen commentating series!
Me too I've watched them all... twice lol
his voice is just so calming
mecha ikr, I literally listen to him many nights before going to sleep, not even watching the vid, lol

Yup

10:48 is when Magnus starts playing :)
Ty sir!
I have watched literally hundreds of hours of chess commentary and this is hands down the best of them all.
Good job sir
Jerry is great but this is a very specific format. Let's see Jerry try to comment on elite classical games. Different ballgame altogether.
You have an amazing voice man thanks for casting! I have a big sleeping Problem but listen to your soft voice casting the amazing carlsen makes me sleep within minutes. Thank you
I'm the same hahahha
Jerry commentating magnus playing chess is the best most wholesome content on youtube
The board comes alive with your descriptions. Love it, Jerry. You're the best.
Thank you Jerry for this video, you're the best chess youtuber that explains every move and nevertheless, you're funny.
Great stuff. Riveting narration, one of my favorite chess videos ever
This is the perfect time mode for your commentary. Those casual comments about not allowing too much space or finding the best spot for the knight etc are so helpful for understanding the main ideas of the next few moves. Thankyou so much!
Nice to read that. 👍
Hearing Jerry get so excited when Carlsen entered the tournament made me smile
Ofc coz carlsen the 1 who has entertaining which can be great content for him
Please upload more of these Jerry! That was truly fun to watch.
I'm surprised I watched this entire video. Was very entertaining. Great commentary, Jerry!
Terrific commentary, thanks very much for posting this.
The best titled arena ever ... specially... (cant emphasize this enough) ... specially with your awesome commentary Jerry ... I live in a country that is hit really bad by the corona virus and your videos really help to have a good spirit... thank you 🙏
Thank you. Stay safe Damon. We're all in this together. ♥️
@@ChessNetwork thank you sir you too 🙏
Thanks a lot for this, please continue! The only better commentator is the Master himself ;-). You are the best! Thanks for 3 hrs of absolute fun.
Finally something good to watch in this lockdown...
10:40 if you come for Carlsen
You are a social worker.
This is my favorite chess channel. Love your commentary and enthusiasm for the game.

I'm in New York and I'm relying on great content right now. Jerry you are a hero.
Be safe Kenan. Keep your distance. 👍
so much emotions, excitement by Jerry in this titled arena, brings joy
This is fantastic. I hope you continue showing blitz, and not just bullet. Great work, Jerry!
yoooo man, please PLEASE do more 2020 Candidates Tournament game reviews!!! We miss them!
Hey, Jerry! Missed your commentary of the last few titled arenas, so happy your back! I really enjoyed it 😊
Sublime commentary, he explains so fast even in bullet.
Please Jerry if possible to cover the candidates tournment. There are lots of amazing games going on.
❤️❤️
Magnus games start at 10:45
1:11:11 "Four queens! Four queens! This might be a thumbnail - watch out!"
Keep em coming Jerry! These videos are perfect for a time like this. I practically watch the whole video and I'm sure many others do as well.
I absolutely love these videos and your commentary!
Thanks Jerry!
Wish you commentated for pro chess events. I learned so much just by watching this video. It’s nice to see magnus play but also have you break it all down
Alireza deserted on purpose against Magnus to gain time and went on to win 4 in a row to take the 1st place, that was great.
Bitch move for sure
That is an agadmator-worthy thumbnail. I was ready for the Hello Everyone but instead I got Jerry. Nice surprise.
slappadabass hello former Jordan Peterson fan!
@@SalivationNation hello former jp fan!
This commentary is SPOT ON! I can watch all 3 hours of this
1:48:14 man really said he's muting his mic to clear his throat, just to give us some easy-going commentary i can respect it 🔥🔥🔥
Thx for the post Jerry, I know you could easily keep this on twitch only for more profits, and we recognize it so much appreciated
Love you Jerry, thanks for doing the titled arena. I love seeing these rapid games. I learn so much from the games. Your commentary is insightful and entertaining. Perfect combination. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much.
1:11:36 "look at how brave this guy is, four queens no problem, king g3, show me" laughed so hard
Hey Jerry, you are my favorite chess RUclipsr! Thanks for making constant content and congrats on 400k subs! I've been with you since sub 100k! You think you'll ever expand on your chess beginner to master series? You seriously helped my game!
Thank you. My intention is to always add to that playlist.
I very much enjoy your commentary. Thanks!
congratulations for the 400k subs. Keep it up, you deserve it.
Magnus Gameplay begins @ 10:41 =)
Thank you! :)
what a tourney! love your commentary man
Thanks man, been everyday for your this video of titled arena, no one quite done commentary like you do.! you didnt cover last title bullet arena
Thanks. I competed in the last 2 titled arenas. I like to just play too. :)
@@ChessNetwork Ohh.. Yep, you are rated player! Must play
I feel like the fly on the wall at a nuclear physics conference. I enjoy the warmth of the room but I'm not sure why people are taking. "Thoughts of a solid 900 player."
lol i used to be the same and i still pretty much am but its been fun slowly being able to understand more and more of what hes saying
Damn boi. Why so seldom? Trust me i hit your videos as soon as i see them. Please make more frequently.
I can't comprehend too. It's sad YouTubs don't pay as much as our engagement.
I hope you are keeping yourself safe Jerry! Thanks for the great video once again!
Always fun to see your commentary! Thanks for the videos!
Most entertaining 3 hours of chess of all time
You are a good content creator man. Chess is more fun when you're here doing the commentary.
This guy can analyze , one of my favorites, thanks Jerry
Well done Alireza, very very talented.
Carlsen phenomenal player but lost too many games in this tournament.
Thank you Jerry, awesome content as always. Congrats on reaching 400k subs. The number of times I've fallen asleep listening to your commentary :P

1:52:30. I have coordination what do you have? I have a queen.
I am impressed how fast you find all these tactics
Will you be covering the world championship?
I remember the first titled arena Magnus played in and stomped the crap out of everyone. These days he's messing around half the games
magnus has gotten a lot weaker in blitz.He is definitely not at the level he was 5 years ago. Thats just facts. His classical and rapid remain godlike still on the other hand.
That was really interesting sir! Watched from start to finish
jerry u made us feel and think the same way the world champion....its very good analysis by u in real time ....heads off

There's not to many people i can watch stream for more than half a hour, hours just roll by watching the GOAT Jerry commentate.
Excellent commentary
Just realized, i've been watching Jerry commentate and play chess for nearly a decade now. My word...
very nice calm commenting style !
Not sure if magnus still does these. But I love the commentary if you can do more!!! Thanks!
Thank you Jerry, great content.
Stalemating the champ when you’re dominating has to be frickin frustrating.
i like that you predict their moves correctly👌😊
Yes! So glad you covered this, no other way to watch this tournament.
another blitz titled arena with Carlsen - what a treat!
1:25:00 I don't understand why white didn't take the black queen with the bishop...?
bishop takes Q is the best move. Bxb6 then black plays Rc1+, white plays Kd2, black plays Rxh1, white plays Qb5+, black plays Kf7, and lastly white plays Bb7 defending the pawn on e5. Likely, he didnt see Bishop x Q on b6. basically you are playing without a knight and rook for about 10+ or so moves (the knight on b2 gets pinned to the rook). but black bishop is staring at nothing and 1 of blacks rooks is in the corner h1. so basically white is attacking with bishop and Q and black is defending with a bad bishop, knight, and rook.

@bluejcube94 he pressed b5 though?
I think his decision is just easier. Do you win a full rook with no conpensation and an easy way forward to win, or do you win more material but allow complications?
Amazing commentary jerry 👍
2:34:20 Jerry experiences what the rest of us feel when watching him. 😂

I don't think he's looking to be a grandmaster!
Fantastic three hours spent. Loved the unbiased reporting :)
and his voice is so soothing, I meditate to it😁
Your voice is so calming...really helps to sleep...and ur chess skill is up to par, too
Wow these blitz players are really good even Carlsen struggling. Such a close finish
These games are amazing! Love the commentary.
Hi Jerry, im from Brasil!! I love your channel please continue posting videos!!
1:53:32 berserking back world champ. thats what i admire boldness
JseMartinez is still probably José Martinez instead of JS Martinez. you should check that. great commentary as usual. love it
25:29 33.... Qc1+!! actually would have resulted in a perpetual after 34.Bxc1 Nc3+ 35.Kd2 Nb1+
It's funny to see Carlsen playing all these junk openings with both sides with crazy wing pawn advances and somehow having amazingly promising positions straight away lol
Oh my god I was waiting so much for this.. Thanks Jerry
The second game of Carlson was amazing such beautiful tactics
There were tactics involved in every move wow
And good comentary Jerry
I love watching Magnus play. There is no one as creative and accurate as him.
Disagree, Alireza is more advance in those Categories
@@satarkhan3692 Alireza is great and a beast in speed chess, but he is not at the Magnus level yet. Give it a couple years and we will finally have a worthy contender.

1:35:47 Nb5 is the move for black then u will be a knight up
Isn't rxb winning a piece at 1:41:08? Since queen's undefended?
Mmmhh looks like if you grab the bishop, Qb8+ destroy you, if you block with the rock you get mated and if you move your king you push the a pawn and the b pawn its pinned due to the unprotected queen
Ooor you just make a inbetweener check and thats it (tbh i have no idea how to write that)
You just lose a rook. Rook captures on d5, queen to b8 with check, king moves and now you grab the rook
It would have changed the outcome.
Dude where the F u were? I missed your commentary
