I have to say, this is hands down the best channel for chess content atm!

[Philiopantheon]

Alireza is becoming an immense force to reckon with in all types of format, perhaps one of the most elite tactical chess player right now. Wishing best for him

Shakespeare’s wife, not the actress.

This is why I love your channel, EC.

[jonnysantos]

You're acknowledging the limpest handshake made me laugh out loud

[UAPch]

It’s considered BAD etiquette to do a breathy whisper into the ear during any zugzwang, glad the whisper was for zwischenzug which is GOOD etiquette, especially potent for titillating Tuesdays, it’s in all the classical chess instructionals.

Whenever Gucci destroys Hikaru the japanese guy, there is much joy to watch Hikaru face afterwards.

[Mlburnr]

Alireza looked so calm and collected on the board and played really well!

[chod]

I decided to come up with names for all the pieces that begin with P. Why? I have no idea. Pawn, Pillar, Pope, Pony, Princess, Patriarch.

[xqs]

In almost all the games he played, Alireza was close to winning each one of them except against MVL.

[riccardoblue]

Hikaru still hasn't apologized to Alireza for all the insults during their bullet match. What a sweet WIN this is for Alireza.

Started whispering zwischenzug to my opponents in real life. It works well, I would say. Very intimidating.

Buddy this is the best Chess Commentator !!! Whispers zwischenzug

[xenoph]

5:25 "Alireza explodes the position with C4" didn't know he was in the military

[TDotLaw]

James, I don't know you - but goddamn it I love you.

[sweetdangerzack]

It's named the "advance variation" after the first man to ever play it, Philippe Advance.

[qdlaty]

Lol the zwischenzug whisper killed me 🤣

[Caleb-zupk]

"Called the advanced variation, still haven't figured out why" - pure art

[Hussainzidane]

Love the video editing and commentary 😅

[ianstopher]

Magnus is not even in this game but still, we get the Magus meme: we want 7 videos in a row with that meme!

[spookyaction]

That critique of the players picture was hilarious lol. Also, a real shame on the games were we neither see a prawn to sea ships, nor a king safety fist bump explosion. Dad isn't happy.
