Chess.com Classic 2025! Magnus vs. Duda & Hikaru vs. Levon Headline Rd of 16! Playoff Stage

Huh

Where comments at????

Tania goddess confirmed

Does anyone know what kind of Indian accent Tania has? (Like what part of India is she from)

I notice English speaking Indians have different accents, so I'm curious to know what kind it is.

Thanks!

Pragg look like a crackhead that gained teeth instead of losing them.

Ian is like a phoenix

Commentary duo goated

New to comp chess. The commentary is top draw 👌 very helpful

All 4 of them were invited. Glad to see Nodirbek performing well here after not having the best performances recently.

Aman and Levy tomorrow? Let's go! David and Tania were great as always.

Ian 💪❤

Is there something going on why they don’t show magnus’s games more? They show him for a bit and move on.

One thing it seems every chess player has in common regardless of playing strength, 1000 ELO, the elite players, everyone in between ... we all get frustrated, lol. It's just frustration at different levels.

This stream is hard for me to appreciate for 2 reasons

1. The eval bar
Your two commentators have so much value. David is one of the best chess player in the world and Tanya is not only very good at chess, but also has a great talent for commentating. But then, you give them an eval bar, which (let's be real) removes any semblance of genuine analysis, meaning that we never really get to appreciate what's inside the player's heads. What we get are commentators not trying often enough to really understand the position and them spewing out whatever general knowlegde they feel can apply at first glance, with the eval bar leading the commentary at absolutely every corner.

2. Magnus
The second part of my rant is about the screen time given to magnus. Please, please, please remedy that. There's got to be a way to look more often at magnus' games than what was done here. I know magnus' games lead less often (on average) to chaotic positions, but a lot of people are here to see him.

When it's possible to have 2 streams, that's great because you can please both ends of the spectrum, but when only one stream is provided, I feel there could be improvements. I like the middle ground that has been found here concerning the level of the langage used to describe the positions. I'm sure the stream can be more enjoyable is the eval bar is less often shown to the commentators and if Magnus is given more screen time somehow.

Magnus beat Duda well, but he also killed MVL 3-0!! Go Magnus!!

How is Abdusattorov managing to play so much? He's currently playing in Sharjah masters as well, and just finished superbet classic! Respect!

Amazing day of chess! Thank you again to Tania and David. Wow! Let's go!

🔥🔥🔥

Gukesh is the new Ding Liren now?

could we have some half an hour episode of Fabi drawing stuff please?
