" I am sure in a couple of weeks I'll be able to do 29" hilarious
hahah so underrated comment by Magnus, I laughed so hard! haha
He could do about 40 if he really tried
So humble
@@ryanfarrell153 I think more
The speed at which he is able to grasp the positions is simply astounding. I haven't even seen what the whole board looks like yet, let alone start looking for moves, and he's already solved it.
nope., he's already solved the next one
It's just mind blowing. Like before I even take stock of the position he is finished. Unreal
if you like to see speed watch hikaru puzzle rush he is a streamer so he is way more faster
Grand daddy Capablanca would be proud. 😁💫
"I think this is too difficult to me"
That would correctly read: don't even try mortals...
00:23
he has a good sense of humour :P
He said that and I just lost all hope lol
Does he knows he is the best player alive?
Magnus: "Obviously"
Me: Which piece did he move again?
"See if you can't beat Magnus' 28."
Me not even being able to tell what's going on with the board by the time he solves it: /cry
Dude I'm with you. I can barely recognize the pieces before it's already solved!!
I watched it in 0.25x
he's relatively slow, go and check out Nakamura's puzzle rush
@@Ali_Massoud if thats the case... whoa
@@Ali_Massoud These puzzles are relatively much more difficult than puzzle rush
As someone who just got into chess and see how amazing he is, really made me realize how bad I am at the game. Holy cow.
As someone who has played chess for 40+ years, I feel the same. It's impressive and depressing at the same time.
Seriously, don't compare yourself to the titled champion of 3 different time controls.
@diztiinct It's not about that.
"My greatest talent is hard work" - Garry Kasparov
These champs work the hardest. Magnus specially in his younger years worked on his chess with insane intensity! Like giving all himself to his chess. And today there's Alireza. It's hard work what puts them up there, man. People tend to overlook and just call it the iq!!
This is definitely NOT like puzzle rush, and is completely original.
The time mode aspect is the only similarity!
To me it looks like puzzle rush. What makes it different?
@@jondohnson8417 in puzzle rush the puzzles get gradually harder. Here, they are either random, or in a specifica category of difficulty
I agree. In puzzle rush you know the puzzles get gradually harder. This random mode you don’t really know the difficulty. More like real life
The puzzles in this one are pretty absurd. The very first puzzle he did on the previous video ( watch?v=U-gGpyNBqJk&t=21s ) is one of the most ridiculous ones I've ever seen.
"What am I supposed to do here?"
After seeing the position for 0,3 seconds.
Does anybody notice that magnus background looks like he has cat ears
if you had read Meow 's comment the answer is yes.
Those are bat ears. Magnus is the batman of chess
i was just about to say
I do now
?
Congratulations on your Triple Crown for 2019, what a great way to finish off the year.
Did he win the championship title again? I haven't followed chess for almost a year now
@@agarion101 Classic last year (2018) and then Rapid and Blitz this year, so current WC in all three time controls.
@@kimaboe wow! Magnus is a beast man
@@agarion101
Yes
Wesley is smiling in the corner
Magnus solves the puzzle meanwhile I'm still working out which colour he is
"Nothing is random in life" I didn't know that Magnus is a philosopher too.
When presented with the question "Can you play chess?" It becomes apparent I've been answering incorrectly.
"That was a VERY nice puzzle..."
Solves it in 1,5 seconds lmao
*"Fischer Random,it's terrible"*
-Magnus Carlsen
2019
2020 lol
omfg how does he spot the pinned pieces so fast
Years of practice.
@Craig Yates many people practice chess for years. Still they end up around 2600. Magnus can do this because of his high IQ, way above avg people. I know it's hard to digest that we all can't do this even after 100 yrs of training. Magnus was born with special calculative ability, far superior than his nearest competitors. I know many gms who work harder than magnus but still are not that good. I think people above 2500( like me) can only appreciate his true skill. Otherwise for an avg guy a puzzle of 2500 level and 2900 level are just the same. That's why many people fails to truly realize his talent.
@Craig Yates exactly, intelligence is apart of it but I doubt it's everything. Now I'm not one to talk because I have like a 1300 rating but I will talk anyway. I think it's a combination of both what you and the other commenter are saying. Yes, carlsen is smarter than most people- but plenty of people are smarter than most as are plenty of chess players. And I'm willing to bet Magnus doesn't even have the highest IQ or even that close to the highest in the professional chess world. When you start certain cognitive activities at a young age, as you said, your brain is able to absorb it and become almost as comfortable with it as a language. That's why kids who learn music at a young age can usually differentiate pitch, A# from B, with the same ease that we differentiate red from blue. You're right, adults simply can't compete, the brain's plasticity has massively diminished. The highest IQs in chess are probably people that started after their childhood and still managed to get near the top just based on pure dedication
HE'S THE WORLD CHAMPION WHAT DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO SUCK?
He was born for chess
Puzzled was solved before I could even evaluate a single piece 🙃
I’m like trying to solve one puzzle while he’s finished over ten lmao
*"Nothing's* *random* *in* *life* *except* *for* *Fischer* *Random."*
- Magnus Carlsen
Uh.. no, that's not what he said or meant.
No, he said "Nothing is random in life. Fischer Random... is terrible"
Not surprised he says that about Fischer Random after his performance against Wesley So in the Championship.
Truth be told, randomness is a term used by many and misunderstood by most.
True randomness does not exist, even in Fisher random we already know the outcome of the pieces, it will 100% be one of the 959 lineups, that's not random at all, that is known.
Just like you 100% know what a 6-sided die will fall on, it will 100% fall on either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, that is known, nothing random about it.
@@OriginalPuro big brain time
Nothing is random in life ... Fischer Random
(Flashbacks)
That's terrible
Thats why he is succesful. He is the world champion with three crowns ( rapid blitz classical) and Goat but still he is hunger for trophies.
Btw I think fischer random chess is not good as the real chess
@ well Fischer random defies preparations
Cake Blake preperation includes 10-20 moves. You cant make preperation for the middle or endgames
@ hey it also includes middle games and sometimes..... endgames
@ Chess 360 IS the real chess
I'm still trying to recognize the position on the board and yet Magnus already knows the solution.
i have a hard time deciding whether to find it hilarious or depressing how he waltzes through these while doing commentary.
Try amazing
Why depressing?
Stars are waltzing out in blue and red - and as I close my eyes the world drops dead
When I see the title I say: am gonna solve the problem along with magnus. And after the few first second he just move to the 10 board. Ok then, Just watch it is
"im white"
-magnus carlsen
@@bustarogers9990 im white???
@EnRocko "It does not mater if your is black or white" MJ
"true" MC
This dude is such a genius he has a permanent deep thought line on his nose
That Fishcher Random Pun was so funny
I thought it was a bit _random_ 😉
Probably also a reference to his performance against Wesley when he said Fischer Random was terrible.
@@synchronium24 Not probably, DEFINITELY!
It's just amazing how fast he's doing these.
This guy's chess mind will never get old
Yes it will.
Michael Reed lol nice reply
@@michaelreed2787 ur sure, just at 13, the guy was a GM, at 13 i was begging for an extra napkin at KFC, so!
magnus to random "Too weak, too slow"
When this game hits the App Store 😍 go Magnussssss
Congrats on rapid & blitz titles!!
Joe Kempsey I’m not 100% sure what you meant but it just came a tactics frenzy app in the app store. I was the first to write a review (my name on the App Store is SimDaBest21). Plus that a cool thing is that the WGM Olga who also participated in making the app, is my chess trainer in my chess club (Dragulf in Bekkestua, Norway).
You made this look so easy. Congrats on the titles!
Magnus turns the SAVAGE mode ON... "This is btw head of streaming in the background... Everybody knows him.. Some people love him... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"
Trying to beat Magnus at this would be like beating Usain bolt
But magnus isnt the best at puzzles
I'm sure I can beat Usain Bolt in this
well, I can beat Usain Bolt, with English opening
Cristian Gamboa How good is usain bolt then?
About 900 Elo last I heard, but the Jamaican scene is a bit inflated and not so strong allegedly.
Magnus takes chess as seriously as us at watching youtube 14 hours a day. That's the different. If we commit into something rather than youtube I'm sure in the couple of years we'll be good at it
Just true
happy new year Magnus!
This Magnus guy is great at solving puzzles, he should like compete in tournaments and stuff
Yeah and i was wondering how the hell on earth he won the Rapid , blitz and all championship without playing tournaments😂😂
Title change:"Magnus Carlson with Cat Ears playing puzzles against time"
This guy is such a legend
Carlsen lining up perfectly in the thumbnail and having cat ears
Can I have this at 1/5th speed, it is too rapid for me? What are you, some kind of blitz champ?
idk man, he should be a chess grandmaster and world champion imo with his skills
I mean he is fr😂
To be fair those puzzles were not that hard, i think all the 2700 can solve them with that speed
Awesome! Looking forward to the release on android 😊
Magnus: "Obviously"
Me: (*sips water) "Obviously"
Nice game, boss. Hope you don't mind I took the lead in all categories!
Jon Ludvig Hammer: notice that the competition rules explicitly say you can’t win prizes mr Head of Streaming 😎 😂
Trouble is that, but for the mate-in-1's, I can't even start to assess how difficult the puzzles are. So I can't really appreciate what he is doing.
I watch this videos with .75 speed so I know what is going, Magnus mind is so fast
Had to play this in half speed to understand what’s going on
Me: spends 20 minutes looking at a 1700 rated puzzle only to make the wrong move
Magnus: glances at a 3000 rated one for a split second “oh that’s easy click click”
4:14 "I'm sure you can". LMAO. I feel so small. Haha
Happy new year : Magnus 🌞!!!
I know nothing about chess...but i know that ur a super champion in that. Today i read a article about u in a famousTelugu magazine in india...! Impressive achievements n interesting attitude...keep it up Bro 👍👍
Magnus looks like a bunny because of the letter 'M' in the background. Hahahah
"Nothing is random in life" geniusssssss
No.. particles movement is
Quantum Physics: I'm gonna stop you right there
not even cat ears...
predetermined
He fails a puzzle and 2 seconds later he solved it in his head lol
Less than 2 seconds
And comments about it while solving another 🤯
Please add to the play store!!!
Magnus got some Savage sense of humor yo!!!
magnus with neko ears
I can't understand how he sees all these so quickly. Also how is there always just one way and how do you know what you are going to do is what the puzzle is about
The puzzles are about finding the best move. Its basically about applying tactics to gain advantage
It is like when you see some math equation and know what it is about because of a prior experience gained from years of learning and understanding
Magnus can beat me starting only with 5 seconds in his clock, and even having time to go to the bath
¡Genio! Gracias por tanto. Feliz año nuevo.
What is the difference between this and puzzle rush?
Great video and congratulations on becoming World Rapid and World Blitz champion!! You really deserve it!!!
It makes me feel like I'm watching a film in fast motion...
Happy New Year ... World Champion..!!!
the M on the thumbnail lines up with his head it looks like he has fox or cat ears or something haha
How is puzzle 13 (2:10) a mate with bishop to F2?
Nakamura's the only one I can see getting a higher score. The guy does some INSANE calculations in seconds.
in Blitz he seems a child compared to Magnus, but obviously he's insane
@@gmkrikor9853 But Hikaru is n.o in blitz at this moment, look at ratings.
When this will available for Android ! Count me in for beta testing !
Ur mind astonishes me lol
I put the position at 2:11 into an engine and it's not a forced mate and it looks like you're supposed to take with the bishop then play Qxe5 which is pretty absurd for a timed puzzle.
Well... The line magnus was thinking is Bxf2+ Rxf2, which leads to forced mate: Qc1+ Rf1 Qe3+ Kh1, Nf2+ Rxf2 (Kh1 is a known mating pattern) Qe1+ Rf1 Qxf1#, so Rxf2 at the beginning is impossible, and then he would have found Qxe5 (easy for GM because of the monstruous threat of Rh8 trapping the Queen and if somehow the Queen escapes then h2 it's a problem: Bxf2+, Kh1 Qxe5, Qh3 Rh8 Qe6 Rxh2#
Yeah I was looking at that stuff, the smothered mate after Kg1 is even better where you double-check the King and then play Qg1. But having it all be invalidated with just not taking the bishop at the beginning and then having to play a non-forcing move seems like the opposite of tactics.
@@EGarrett01how do you double check the king
@@kidszergaming4815 Double-checking the king usually refers to a discovered check where two pieces are attacking the king at once, I assume that's what I was referring to.
@@EGarrett01 wow thanks for replying even after 4 years, but if you don't mind could you tell me what line will result in that result?
This guy is good, he shoud fight for the champion title or something ...
Dead recycled meme. Please delete.
"i dont like random, nothing is random in life"
Dice: am I a joke to you?
In the puzzle number five there is a wrong move inside the machine ! The best move is kd7 to escape for black
Congrats Magnus for winning world rapid and blitz....and happy new year.
The M make him looks like wearing a cat ear 😂
Or batman
You cant say "too difficult for me" when your the best player
Nothing is Random in Life
-Magnus Carlsen 2020-
Magnus you need to create your own chess like lichess. Its name could be Mgchess or whatever you want.
That's some kind of challange to beat Magnus on these tactics ;)
The video was of 4.40 min and it took me 9.20 sec to watch whole , he was so paced , that i had to make the video play at 0.5x speed , thanks to UA-cam for this amazing feature,😂😂
Me after going back and studying how hr moved for 20 minutes.
"Oh so thats how its a mate" gotcha!
I like this, I think puzzles should be random like this, simulate real play .... not 1 back rank mate / 2 back rank mate / 3 back rank mate / 4 mate in one / 5 mate in one / 6 mate in two etc ... (even though that's more fun :D this is more helpful however )
Can anyone explain the first puzzle to me? It seems like he just lost a queen for no reason. How is it a stale mate when it'll be checkmate after the black queen can just go down and pretty much checkmate it after that turn?
This guy is so humble is it endearing
"Nothing is random in life"
Bro what how?
How does he process this information so quickly, like, it's incredible! Lol.
Magnus u should stream more. We love watching u streaming. Even though I understand less than 2% of ur game. Still I love watching u play.
what a genuinely humble person
I laughed out loud when he started doing them
This guy is good maybe he can beat Hikaru he should take part in tournament
Thanks sir for still considering those that aren't ready for the puzzle-rushes with keeping the at our own speed option! But yeah, the time-pressure craze is ongoing so super cool as usual! Sweet -- and as a whole too! Thx.
Ps. Some like that challenge -- think fast. Must think wars are inevitable or something, preparing like that.
But it is also practical for the tournament chess players too and yours are literally 'champion approved' and so very much appreciated indeed. Thanks again.
diosss que pedazo de enfermo loco mirá como resuelve todo en segundos, es pibe increíble
"Nothing is random in life. Fischer random - it's terrible." HAHAHAHA
on 2:49 why Qh1? pls cover all possible position in that puzzle
Happy New Year Magnus ! You're pretty decent at these,by the way. You were thinking profilactickly,like myself. 0o.
Head of streaming: Youre white, youre white.
Magnus: I'm white?
Bruh got me dead
Feliz año nuevooo Magnus saludos desde Colombia crack!!
I'm in love with him 😍 ♥
Who isn't !
Hussein Mayer: me... ima guy so I guess that’s why
Leah Abrams same to u
@@batmansehs begone
He cross country ski's as preparation for tournaments.What's NOT to love ???
Gratulerer som verdensmester😍👌
is that Jon Ludvig Hammer?
I was still trying to grasp the entire board and Magnus was casually saying: "Obviously" and moved on the next one.
Yep magnus obviously 🤣
