Magnus is so sharp. He knew he would have to keep all his pieces active and it would be incredibly complicated, but he is also always aware when his opponent will need a lot of time because they also have to think over the board.

"My trick is to just look at what stockfish is saying and sound smart" LoL!

[jasonuerkvitz]

Excellent interview. He controlled his fury with impeccable skill.

"And then it dawned on me that I just can do nothing, so that was a bit of a bummer..." -Anish Giri, keeping it Real!

[samarthbillore]

I think to handle it with such a good spirit is more important, i feel anish would be a world champion one day.

[Dr.UldenWascht]

A very elegant way of saying "I got owned hard." 😄
That's was a phenomenal match though. Magnus will always take the chance to knock people out of their comfort/preparation zone. He did just that.

[giannaude]

if carlsen sacs his queen, you know you are doomed.

[remveel]

That game was spectacular. Magnus managed to activate almost every pieces fast even tho Anish bullied his Knight to the edge and wasted so much moves.

Every chess player: High level english, speaks fluently, no mistakes

Anish is an underrated player.. what I mean to say is that people don't talk about him much

But Magnus is God, People will talk about him before talking about chess.

HAHA I was expecting Giri actually to resign after BishopC8

[irradiatedbadger]

Weird having the caterer floating in the back of the camera shot lol, he's so lucky to be there in person though!

[idioticidiot]

1:06 is my attitude towards chess in general

[davidcline]

One of the greatest games I've ever seen.

[joaoroberto]

Anish seems like a very nice person. Wish him well

[theguidingstone]

That's a Danish guy making the interview, I'll recognize Danish accent anywhere lmao

[benjaminmorton]

This was a truly epic play by Magnus - like an all-time great masterpiece. Will this be known as the Carlson Gambit someday?

[SethingtonIII]

Guy in the back: I should be working, but I'm too interested hear this interview about that game right now...

[SunSnowGravity]

What a brilliant analysis! It was such an unusual game and accuracy over time pressure is hard to achieve.
