This is a 2-hour bullet chess tournament, Lichess Titled Arena June 2019, I provided commentary on while specifically observing World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen compete (he latejoined the tournament at approximately 7 minutes 51 seconds into the video). Magnus played very dubious opening lines throughout, in particular the Grob Opening and Borg Defense which surfaced in a great portion of his games. I livestreamed this event at twitch.tv/ChessNetwork. Lichess Titled Arena June 2019 is held for titled chess players only, namely Grandmasters, International Masters, FIDE Masters, National Masters etc... Magnus Carlsen played under the account "DrNykterstein" for this event. Its $1,000 prize pool goes to the top 5 players, with 1st - $500, 2nd - $250, 3rd - $125, 4th - $75, and 5th - $50. This tournament was played on June 22nd, 2019.

I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
