[MinatO1515]

why not @ 7:15 h5xh7 ?!?!?

[gust3r3u1]

@MinatO1515 because Rb7 check and wins rook

[sleepybrownbear]

Aaaaaaaah!  How did it end?

[christoschar1988]

this music destroys this very nice game i will mute the video next time LOL!!!

[olivercarlehed]

Sounds a bit like trioVD , great music .. and great game , can't get any better than this!

[sych1399]

There were a few questionable moves here. Not that I could beat either, much easier finding moves as a spectator.

[N0tyeet]

the music is horrible

[KristianEaton]

im actually disappointed with the moves

[thisisgame]

so this game ended in a draw?

[Davdjx]

@thisisgame

no, black resigned...

at the next move white will eat the last pawn

[A1B2C3D4E5m]

After the opening they went directly to the end-game

[popnstart]

I expected some vocal annotation with a YouTube name like "MasterChessGames".

[Christian6898]

who is Carlsen, who is Anand?? who wins?

[Mosquitox216]

@Christian6898 In chess, games are titled "Player1" vs. "Player2". Whoever is first is White, so White is Carlsen, and Black is Anand.

[Christian6898]

who is Carlsen, who is Anand??

[jessicafischerqueen]

cool man interesting chess interface and perfect music

[mikeusat]

These guys are really, really good.

[Damhiz]

the music was very interesting, never watched a chess music video before this one haha, but i enjoyed it so good choice and it was very good game played by these two super gm's as expected

[dogmonkeybottle]

fucking sloppy ass game these are the ultimate grandmasters?

[Damhiz]

@dogmonkeybottle lets see you play either of them

[mycatrox]

@dogmonkeybottle lol..

[tubertomp]

first

[hallotata]

why did he took g8 with the knight

[Shazzarr]

He wanted to move the knight to e7 for protecting pawns on d5 and f5...

[cookiecamp]

yh nice music interesting game aswell

[MasterChessGames]

Thank you cookiecamp, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[dw1176]

fascinating game with queen pawn opening and no castling for either side. Can someone tell me why it seems the super GMs these days are afraid to play 1. E4? Are they afraid of 1E4 C5?

[Philippchaykin]

@dw1176 yes it is now widely considered that sicilian defense is so good against E4 that most other openings are preferred to it. Thanks for the video MasterChessGames

[serrie85]

@dw1176 no probably they don't like that there are lots of drawing lines in the petrov (e4 - e5, Nf3 - Nf6, Nxe5 - d6)

[fourmazing]

Coltrane?

[MasterChessGames]

@fourmazing Actually it's "Sins of the Fathers" by Dave Liebman.

[fourmazing]

@MasterChessGames i see. not a bad guess though, considering his influences.

[KanoneUnteralle]

the music was horrible

[MasterChessGames]

@KanoneUnteralle Thanks for the comment, KanoneUnteralle.

[buffalofonix]

@MasterChessGames Screw them. I think the music is kinda fresh.

[MasterChessGames]

Thank you, buffalofonix. Actually, everyone's encouraged and welcome to say (almost) anything he/she wants about the videos in this channel, and unless we were dealing with an offensive post - and I don't think it's the case - I'm not going to take away the freedom of speech of folks posting here by removing their messages.

On the other hand, I agree the music is interesting.

[kakashi76767]

Ah, the art of chess.

[jsouce]

really good. I wish you would post more like this. It's like a new art form. Thanks!

[MasterChessGames]

Thank you jsouce, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I will upload more videos soon. Feel free to subscribe so you can get a notification as soon as I post more stuff.

[MavPlaysChess]

Great game. Nice song! May I ask the name of the track? Thanks for both!

[MasterChessGames]

Thank you MavPlaysChess, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The track is "Sins of the Fathers" by Dave Liebman.

[MavPlaysChess]
