I usually go with Jerry (ChessNetwork) as he has a nice, soothing voice.

Van Kampen + Hansen was pretty good.
But Svidler is hands down my favorite commentator, and it's going to be good once he comes in.

Carlsen seems to be on the verge of a win in game 3

edit: he slipped up on move 72, now Karjakin can escape.

What a defensive effort from Karjakin!

Pretty brutal game. It was a very well played game by both players (I only followed the first 5 hours) - in the end it seemed Karjakin held Carlsen on the touchline.

As with every championship it becomes more interesting with each game played. I'm stoked to see how today's game plays out. With the first really sweaty game played it's now Karjakin's turn with as white - and I can't help to wonder if Carlsen isn't just a bit frustrated. I was pretty close to winning this game.

The computer did not like that move at all from Karjakin at all. Is Magnus going to find a black win?

After 37. h4, the evaluation jumped from ~-.75 to -1.3. Carlsen has a good chance to convert here.

Karjakin is his nemesis.

Karjakin's fortress is holding for now, haven't seen much change in eval for many moves.

edit: My Stockfish is flat on -1.87 even at 60ply. There's no progress to make here unless Karjakin screws up.

Wow, unimpressed by Karjakin's Opening/Middlegame, but ridiculously impressed by his defending.

Although, if every game is like this, it's only a matter of time. Team Karjakin better find some way to pressure Magnus.

Carlsen is going to need to be put on suicide watch after failing to convert the past two games.

The last two games had only two possible results. I think he will understand that's a great place to be and move on to win either game 5 or 6.

Yeah if you're the only one with serious winning chances so far in the series you gotta be feeling pretty good. Chess isn't a game where you'll be able ot convert every advantage (see that last game for instance) but you definitely want to be the one with opportunities.

There's no way Carlsen's feeling good about the last two games. Yes you're objectively in a good spot if you're always the one attacking, but letting those wins slip away is nevertheless disappointing. At the press conferences he didn't seem satisfied at all with his play in those games. He's a pro and will take setbacks like this with equanimity, but he won't feel good about it.

Interesting game right now. Not that I understand anything but the most obvious of moves, but this time I think even the commentators really expect something (and dont seem to only pretend).
