Anish Giri's hilarious reaction to Nepo's blunder

#MagnusCarlsen #IanNepomniachtchi #CarlsenNepo

Carlsen - Nepomniachtchi | Game 9 | World Chess Championship

[snoozy]

Blunders and walks away like a boss...

[Lolersters]

"Poor guy, has has to again go to press conferences and stuff."

Giri really calculating far into the future.

[TheRockstarNick]

Magnus be like "I just calculated 150 lines and he plays this?"

[timbaldwin]

"It's a trap. It's a trap. It's a trap.
Wait a minute. I'm Magnus Carlsen! He blundered!!" -- Carlsen

[TopLobster]

Forget Giri’s reaction, Magnus’s reaction is more funny😂😂

[chessforfunonly]

Seeing this footage, it seems totally psychological: Magnus arrives at the board and Nepo feels obligued to make a move instantly.
Which is a gross blunder.

[TheAngelOfDeath]

This is one for the history books of massive blunders. Poor Nepo!

[Hustwick]

Respect to Magnus, he's thinking, "what have I missed?"

[crasheibr]

For those who were a bit lost, like me, Nepo played pawn to c5, which allowed Magnus to respond with pawn to c6. That move traps Nepo's light colored bishop.

[ragnarwiik]

You can see the adrenaline Carlsen is getting.

[hitrapperandartistdababy]

At this point I think its becoming evident that these long and continuous matches are taking their toll on Nepo. That and the constant loses certainly doesnt help. As a magnus fan Im almost hoping he will get just one win. Its frankly sad to see someone being so clearly affected by hardship

[michaelwhipple]

Magnus' reaction is the best. "Did he really just give me his bishop for nothing? WTF?!?"

[paulmurray]

It's Magnus's reaction which cracked me up. He couldn't believe his eyes and must have been wondering at the machinations that led Nepo to this.

[Rombizio]

Magnus face says it all. He probably thought: I spent 40 minutes thinking the last move. There must be some trick to this apparently blunder.

[JaxxedNesmith]

I enjoyed his "Let's talk about the elephant not in the room" (In Russian the bishops are called elephants)

[nicbentulan]

0:43 anish giri star wars prequel anakin: this is outrageous! it's insane (unfair)! how can you win the candidates (be on the council) and not avoid these blunders (and not be a master) ?

[hiranom]

He's not nuts. He's under intense pressure. The chess version of Baggio missing that penalty in the World Cup Final.

[sriracha]

After 4 years, Hikaru is still recovering from the trauma after losing to Magnus. Nepo might need a year to recover after that loss in Game 6.

[neemiassilva]

Magnus' first impression was that Nepo saw something he didn't, then he looked till he realized that it was only a Nepo's blunder. This is a behavior of a great player, always expecting for the best from your opponent and trying to find a way to fight back. I truly respected that.

Giri's ranting on about the insane blunder while we watch Carlsen's facial expressions is extremely funny. If you didn't understand the context, you might think the commentator (Giri) is describing a madman on the screen (Carlsen).
