The ANALYSIS BAR really helps non-experts and casual players like myself find the games more interesting and enjoyable - as they allow us to get into the drama and back and forth of the game in ways commentary alone does not manage to do.

[x-b]

The commentary is really in another level 😍😍😍

52:00 Both Portorož and Bled are in Slovenia

[Ulujmf]

Carlen is just above everyone. You have the super Gm and magnus is the super uper gm

[meterparin]

52:10 lol dude, Portorož is in Slovenia. And he was correcting Ashley, who got it right. Strange.

[americalost]

Like this St Louis team. They work well together.

[StormSong]

Magnus is like the New England Patriots of chess. Work hard, pay attention to detail, follow your game plan, and let the opponents beat themselves.

[talldarkknight]

Giri looked like he had PTSD in the interview. He still couldn't figure out where he went wrong.

[aswang]

Was Ding sleeping in his game with Wes?

[dionlindsay]

Not much humility among the commentators - Giri would beat any of them easily. Sure, he messed up, but to scold him like he's a schoolboy before the interview? Nah - we're not at a baseball game!

The woman commentator in the studio is completely superfluous.
