Yes, Anish can be quite amusing.  In that KID game, he used up a bit too much time bantering and couldn't save the game with a scramble at the end, which he's often able to pull off. 

CBT - Thanks for the tip on starting the video at a specific time.  I wasn't aware of that.

Hi.

You can get a link directly to specific points in the video if you press share under the video and then check a box that says "start at".

It's fun to see even top players mess something up once in a while Smiley.

Have a nice day.

Yesterday in banter blitz, Giri played the KID, and faced the Karpov/Makagonov h3 + Be3.  During the first ten or so moves he made a number of remarks such as, "You see how much knowledge I have in the King's Indian.  I should do a course on it, totally." He then proceeded to lose horribly. That was accompanied by comments like, "What have I done?" and "I'm losing left, right and center."

(game starts at about 1:23:15)
