Featured is a Round 3 game from the 2022 World Blitz Chess Championship between Ivan Cheparinov and Magnus Carlsen. The opening is Closed Catalan with an instructive idea demonstrated by Carlsen on the queenside. After Cheparinov’s 10th move, Carlsen’s play is nearly impeccable with him basically playing for two results in an opposite colored bishop endgame. Carlsen’s accuracy for this 3|2 time control registered a 97% in Stockfish 15.1’s eyes.

Really enjoyed your analysis!
What a player
Why is everyone referencing Anal beads
Very instructive endgame in my opinion by the world champion.
90% and still end up losing, playing at that level must be totally demoralising in situations like that
great analysis thank you jerry for another great year~!
A classic Carlsen win. Grinding out the tiniest of advantages to take it home in the endgame.
Yes, a video by Jerry, always a highlight of my day!
even his first name starts with "I" you pronounce it with "E" 😉
Great analysis, i def. need more chess vids outta you Jerry, they always help improve my game
Hi,
Thank you for vid. How is it 97% accuracy and 9 average cents pawn loss?
Hi Jerry, it´s everyone
of all the chess tubers, jerry's vids perk me up the most. I watch every one
Why cant the white knight go from F3 to E5 to defend the pawn
C4 Is Explosive Jerry! Of course it is sensitive.
fantastic video!
So is Magnus also cheating????
A great endgame from Carlsen. What strikes me though is this. In his first match against Anand, He appeared to be the worlds best in both sides of the Ruy Lopez Berlin. In his match against Caruana, he seemed to be the best on both sides of the Sveshnikov. Now since playing against Nepo he appears to be the worlds best in the Catalan. But he doesn’t like the challenge of this meticulous preparation of one or two lines anymore. Great analysis as ever Jerry, thanks and keep up the good work.
sensational
14:52 that's some spicy coordination by the rook and bishop
He is cheating.
I get preferring the knight and bishop over two bishops when the pawns were on one side, that is very clear, but grinding out the opposite coloured bishop situation was excellent. However, it did depend on a mistake from white.
Hi Jerry.
check that man's ass immediately

Hie Jerry can you please come up with a Playlist of 2022 Fide chess rapid
97% accurate? did anyone check his butthole?
I love these videos even if a lot of the information still goes above my head
Jerry you have to do the Rapport Carlsen game – crazy game
Imagine playing Magnus and he plays with 97% accuracy. 😂
No beating that guy! 😂
On move 13, why can’t black play Nb4 to threaten the Queen away from defending white’s knight?
Carlsen is just incredible. Double champion again!

Never been so happy to lose to someone in the 2022 Winter Marathon as I was to lose against NM Chess_Network – the OG himself!
But the h pawn recapture! Proved to super important. Don't double pawns. Sure. Except when you should. Not a goddamn single general rule that doesn't have one or many exceptions. Fuck you chess and your insufferable rule exceptions. B recapture pretty automatic in such a game for me. Not sure at what ratings level I might have the insight to recapture with pawn. Whatever that level might be, for now attempts at high-level, creative play such as this always seems to routinely and spectacularly blow up in my face. Blow up real good.
Magnus is cheating, he brought a supercomputer in his brain pan 😅
so much hans fan bois
13:34 … Ke3 quite possible play for the brilliant mistake
One of your strongest videos. Im expert level and have been following you for years. High end analysis. Well done
Great stuff as always, Jerry!
Magnus is clearly cheating
Hi Jerry, mind if I ask where the old videos on Twitch went? seems like only those broadcasted in the past month are visible right now 😮
Beautiful analysis! Thanks!
Magnus is almost as good as Hans
i thought 48. Bg2+ Kxg2 , Rxe2+ Kf1 , Rxh2 Rd8+, Ke4 but probably just ends in a draw
Carlsen é brilhante em especial em todas as fases da partida, por isso é o melhor jogafor do mundo.
So more accurate than Hans LOL
So did Magnus cheat too
Hey Jerry! Why don't you stream Magnus for Title Tuesday? Hope you do!
Have been playing the Queen's Gambit every time I get white, and wondering if it's much a transition to pick up the Catalan? Thanks for the video showing some ideas and resulting positions. Looks like a fun thing to try out.
Sam Harris is the Jerry of philosophy. The way of talking is strickingly similar! And Harris is exepcionally smart. It's an huge complement! You welcome Sam… You welcome…
