These segments are fun and bring out the relatable sides of the players to the audience. Definitely want more of these!

[chessbrilliance]

Prag found Qa8 before even looking at the board!!

[ScoochCubing]

Pragg either seen this before or just solved the hardest mate in 2 ever within milliseconds

[geert]

Anish's soul was crushed there he hates it if he's not the smartest annoying kid in the class

[bruise_vain]

Pragg found it in a glance, whereas Magnus took a bit more than a minute 💀

[sammy_trix]

Wesley So is a genius. One of the best in chess, so inspiring that he is still in his best shape. There's still more to the rivalry between Wesley and Magnus in the coming years.

[MrTravolta]

The question is, how long they were standing in front of the board before this video started?

[theexcelproject]

Sometimes people forget Wesley's a Filipino. He's gonna troll one way or another lol

[loretozamoras]

To erase any doubts, Pragg is supposed to not answer the puzzle so that nobody could comment or doubt that Pragg knows this puzzle beforehand.

[senpou]

they meant was possible mate in 2, now it make sense to me, and that Qa8 was brilliancy by pragg seeing that possible mate in two that fast, ,

[dreamadventure]

Suddenly everyone wants the prize, including pragg

[JiiaiOfficial]

I saw this puzzle twice and I always wonder why rook to F4 then Rook to F5 is not a mate by 2?

[prithvisinghpanwar]

magnus with the same puzzle: about 1 minute

[MNGN]

1:19 he didn't realise anish has the same origins as their nationality...

[BLinX神]

Wesley is the only one who said Qa8 in the video unless you can timestamp Pragg saying it.

[moe.vlogs]

Plz. Somebody explain it how Qa8 works!!🤔🤔🤔 is it really checkmate in 2!! After qa8

[lonemountain]

this pragg dude seems experienced in chess, maybe he should consider becoming a professional at it

[valeyard]

You have to see that Qd4 (which covers both knight hops to c5 and d6) is met by Re3 double check and mate.

[Amit_]

Re3 it's a double check from rook and bishop and king is forced to d4 now Kf5 is the mate in 2
