Pleeeease...David Howell, Robert Hess, Peter Leko, Yvanka Houska, Jan Gustaffson, Peter Svidler, Danya.. ANYONE!!! Had to watch this with the volume off.
I have to agree with others on Maurice's commentary, it was a bit unprofessional, he has the comfort of engine and if engine is giving +0.1 he tries to find a point why one side is way better like he knew if before, in fact it's a draw in 90% of cases. Another point is, when you always switch to Maurice, we don't see live boards and while he's explaining lines that will never happen, 2-3 moves are already played and we have no way of seeing it, and then it's switched but not played back which moves were played in what order, we just want a live board on 1/3 of the screen that is always there and you can share the rest of the screen with analysis board and other stuff.
I did not like Maurice’s and Tania’s commenting style during the endgame. Commentators like Peter Leko or David Howell excel at focusing on what the players might be thinking and experiencing, rather than strictly pointing out what should have happened according to the engine. Here, it felt like the commentators came off too authoritative, which can (unintentionally) diminish the incredible skill of the players.
2:12:00 Maurice - we've waited 7 or so minutes for the move - and when Fabi finally plays, you launch into a "philosophical reflection" or something lasting a full minute instead of returning to the game? 😂 Bad judgement, dude, bad judgement!
@@SenatorBluto he is known for being disrespectful. Do you understand? You can commentate lines and evaluate the position without being disrespectful. Look at Svidler. Top player in his prime, way better than Maurice, and also respectful
1:19:30 Danny and Tanya completely disregard Fabis hartrate. He definately sees something, as his hartrate goes from 92 to 115 in just a few seconds, and this uncoordinated production manages not to see it? 😂
Overall broadcast was poor from spectators point of view due to many audio technical issues. The stream did not have a cohesiveness to it: The games were poorly displayed, commentary was subpar, the two commentators did not work well together and Danny could also improve his interview skills. Overall would rate this event 9/10 for location/venue and creativity, however a 2/10 for viewers.
I like their commenting but please oh my god if you’re gonna play out scenarios please also have the live board somewhere else on the screen so we don’t miss the moves that the players are actually making. Happened like a million times.
Really this had all the meat to be a great show but it seems like the production keeps making blunders and does not learn from the mistakes made in the opening day. Let us hear the players at the end!
I don't think Tanya and Maurice are a good commentating pair.Different commentators have different styles, and both Maurice and Tanya likes to use volume and stress of certain syllables to create emphasis and excitement. This can work well as a counterpoint to more methodologically analytical commentators, but when both commentators share the behaviour, it creates overhype, and becomes akin to a shouting match. This is not meant as critique vs either of them, I am merely describing my impression of them as a commentating pair. I think they work very well with other commentators.
They realized it, and edited the upload. My comment pointing to 1:24-something yesterday pointed to nothing relevant today - had to change to 1:19-something today.
remove this maurice guy, he barely knows how to move a night and judging world no.2 Caruana endgames, its a shame, just kick this maurice guy out of commentary, my grandma can beat maurice
Can Maurice please stop reading the players minds and comment on the position instead?

Please stop commenting when the players talk after the game. We want to hear what they are talking about!
That's Maurice. he talks 5 times the amount of both the other commentators combined.

Perhaps that's the difference between an IM and a GM
I can watch the eval bar myself, redundant hosts.

Shame on Maurice, who was trash talking about Fabiano's endgame skills.
They both played it sloppily, didn't they? You would think a grandmaster would have that endgame down cold.
I don't think Maurice would've done any better. He is known for his provocative trash talk as if he was any better than those guys
@@brianmarrero5147
It's his JOB to give the engine analysis ffs!
Do you understand?

He just wanted to yap, happens a lot

Does anyone know of a way we can get a message through to them about what our needs/wants are as the viewership?
Danny Tanya and Maurice all like to hear themselves talk too much. The great commentators know when to stfu
Pretty crappy coverage, imo

Agreed could barely see the live board at times
Again, fabi isn't worth to be top
2 Arjun needs to
Be placed in that position… fabi is top 10 but he isn't worthy of his current rank
That was an intense endgame...
the setup is boring we want the pool match
Bathtub match next time please 🙏
remove this maurice guy, he barely knows how to move a night and judging world no.2 Caruana endgames, its a shame, just kick this maurice guy out of commentary, my grandma can beat maurice
I mean tbh they did play bad for their level since they are at the peak of chess skill
Shru... I think you have no idea what are you talking about. GM Maurice is an amazing player and commentator.
Yay magnus!
saludos
Please shame
