[aungkyaw]

Karjakin may be missing Magnus ...he also want to face magnus to prepare now Unexpectedly Duda come 🤣🤣🤣🤣Karjakin vs Magnus 😭😭😭😭😭

[mathiazasd]

One of the worst commentary performances, moving pieces randomly, taking back, then moving them again, at one point you have no idea which is the actual game, really really bad

[aungkyaw]

Magnus match is
more exciting than finalists

[bhawnapatel]

Sir mujhe bhi chess khelna h uske liye mujhe kya krna hoga

[r.pr.wojciechmichniewicz]

As Janek Duda played black, a draw is acceptable score

[abhlyy]

Magnus was just pissed about yesterday's game

[oussamazidani]

Came Right After Watching the queens gambits to see whos the world champions on chess

[philkalus]

Is there a nitros oxide leak in the commentary booth ?? what r they constantly laughing about ??

[CrookedNose]

Short is excruciatingly awful. Did he really think the viewers would find him reading the poem in a Russian accent funny? Why did he keep talking about poetry once the games started? Roald Dahl?! I bet Scripchenko was relieved when it was over. She was great.

Oh boy, if Mr. Short would play only half as well as he thinks he does...
