"I have about two hours of free time- maybe a bit less." The video is 1:59:53. He did not lie. Perfect planning as only a supergm could do.

Objectively => 24 times
Regrettable => 9 times
Sensible: 11 times
Saying he played badly, but winning anyway => every single game
That's right, I counted
Another thing, who would love to see Svidler stream Hearthstone?

[pawelczapla]

yeah I guess we lucky to have him host these more often. I personally learn more from his shows then any other hosts. He objectively got that something others dont. :) Good to see you GM Svidler

These are so entertaining that I wonder whether Peter actually watches these back on his days off, simply to watch something that is, in fact, objectively great stuff.

[mottian]

Overusing the word "objectively" is a reasonably straightforward technical task.

"If it loses it's a stupid idea, if it doesn't it's a decent idea..." - Peter's words of wisdom (@ 56:39 )

[fernandoluiz]

Thanks Peter! Through your teaching i´m learning more and more.

[BenNCM]

Svidler has the right balance of of all of the GMs.

[paulpena]

wow Peter completely blundered at 09:25 and neither player noticed! Bxc4 (instead of QXQ) just wins a piece (Qxe7 Bxd3+ and Nxe7)

[chessartst]

53:08 Peter " Goddamnit ! " this is not what you are supposed to do " lol 😂

[mrengler]

@1:11:08 anyone know what that game is? world wort's stew?

[gtrmusic]

Only took him 11:24 before he said "objectively".
hardly a game where he does not use it.
I wish whoever taught Pete to say "objectively" hadn't shown up on that day in school.

[garrettwilliams]

I lean in the direction that he should accept challenges from lower rated players (as low as say 1200). I do agree it would be less entertaining to watch, but I feel for the people who pay for a membership and aren't given any opportunity to play him.

[udai]

That question at 30:35. No respect for the guy!!

[ldeans]

I was a little surprised to hear myself characterized as a lower rated player (since I was last rated a little under 1800) I guess it's all relative. I better do what I can to improve myself.

[Achilles]

I'm getting a bit tired of Peter's self-deprecating attitude.  He has a habit of playing a move and then immediately saying "I don't know why I played that move".  Well why did you play it, Peter?  He then almost always goes on to win anyway, whilst simultaneously telling us how badly he's playing and how lucky he is.  It's all a bit nauseating really.
