MAGNUS v. FABIANO! Who Wins Without Opening Prep? Freestyle Chess Game 1



Two of the best players in the world, Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana, will face each other in a two-game match in the Chess960 variant (Freestyle chess). The time control is 90 minutes for the entire game, with a 30-second increment per move.. Earlier this year, Carlsen won the inaugural Freestyle GOAT Chess Challenge against Caruana himself. Can he repeat the feat to win the match in Singapore?

  1. Maurice said that Tania is distracting and too beautiful in Sagar’s video. He might be intimidated and being rude to her because of it. Or maybe because he lost to her team yesterday. Either way he needs to be professional and have some humility.

  2. I'm sure it was a great match, but it is completely unbearable to watch it with both Maurice and Tanya commentating… Even muted Maurice manages to be annoying by overly gesticulating whenever he is speaking (he is ALWAYS speaking something…)

  3. Why do quite often I feel like commentators constantly try to one-up each other or kinda fight for who's right and who analyses better while both clearly have little idea and mostly rely on engine? Perhaps it is only whenever I see one of these two I feel like this? There are quite a number of commentators who seem much more calm though. Really not the best pairing up there.

  4. I finally get it. To set the table, I HATED Danny Rensch's commentary in Head & Hand, yet I very much enjoyed the commentary by Maurice & Tania. I'm convinced most of the negative comments here are from Danny Rensch burner accounts…to make himself feel better for botching yesterday's Head & Hand by now unfairly attacking Maurice & Tania with anonymous accounts. "Hey look, the comments criticize Maurice & Tania too!" Pathetic & despicable Danny, you should be ashamed of yourself.

  5. Magnus is about to deliver the final move of the game and what do they do? They cut away from the live feed and go to some random woman for her opinion of the game??? It's like if when Sergio Aguero scored the EPL winning goal in the final for Man City against QPR and they'd go : let's go to a commercial break! Idiots!

  6. Production quality / event staging are so cool — but puleeez (1) let us viewers see the players make the moves — the game is after all a human drama — and (2) update the electronic board with the moves in a timely manner, thereby returning us from whatever hypothetical possibility was under consideration to the real world (yes at times this may involve checking the move visually if electronic update is slow.) Re: commentary yeah it was not working today, rethink
