It ought to be a good lesson for anyone: Play solid stuff. Play what you know. Know what you play. Don’t be an idiot and you can reach the middlegame against the GOAT.
Arrows are good for beginners, but if you really want to get better at chess you should try to memorize the squares ranks and files so that you can eventually grow some balls.
It's so funny how Magnus goes "now that I think about it" after explaining several different scenarios for pretty much every move. It's incredible how immediate the options come to him.
Imagine stressing out playing a 3200 GM, and thinking the long pause after your move means you stumped them only to later find out they were just doing a tutorial video.
No human has a rating as high as 3200, and if anyone ever achieves that high a rating they would be regarded as a super-grandmaster. Stockfish is, of course, even higher at about 3600 rating, and would be considered as being at ultra-grandmaster level.
@@johnb6723 Can you not see the video, with the worlds best player currently having that rating, at least on this website?Obviously his on the table rating is what, 2700+? Not 3200, but in-game, that's still insane and very scary. Since most players are at sub 1000.
What a time to be a chess fan! Just being able to watch Magnus do his thing and explaining his thoughts so that even a casual player can understand what's going on. It's brilliant. Thanks Magnus
watching Magnus flip the switch at the end from playing strategically for the endgame advantage to mating within a few moves -- absolute killer instinct. I'm by no means a good chess player, but even still my brain struggles to hold the ability to calculate multiple win conditions like that at the same time. we are so lucky to live at a time where all time greats can play and provide commentary in real time for the whole world to see.
@Czeslaw P. Yes but he is ranked number one in the world for a reason and if he stays on top for just a bit longer he will be undoubtable the greatest ever.
I never analyzed how brilliant he is. He visualized how to destroy his opponent 2 mins before. His way to calculate every single move is really awesomem hats off
It would have been impressive, if chess engines didnt exist and can not only analyze but also give you interactive tutorials Not taking anything away from magnus, just acknowledging how technology has chipped away at some of the prestige.
Lol. As unsure as I am about the whole Niemann debacle, I will always dislike him for his “commentary”. It’s such pseudo intellectual trash. Magnus, on the other hand, gives this gem of knowledge, that players at almost any level can benefit from.
I remember Hikaru saying something like this... everything's going fine, things are pretty even, and then suddenly you're losing and you're not sure why
Just like playing against LeelaKnightOdds. It's mortifying. She just always has the brain-melter pawn push ready. Like Magnus, she puts you in positions where you have to be incredibly precise to prove that the position is equal or better.
Watched this again. Must be the third time now. Just admiring the simplicity and tidiness of Magnus’ gameplay. Compared with myself, I am so messy. I should watch again for a fourth time 😊 Thank you for this content.
Magnus is a real genius - the ease with which he explains move and is in control of his own game simultaneously is quite something to see. He certainly make this win seem and sound very easy - have played this kind of game 100s of times...his opponent also played quite well - but Magnus thinks like a GM all the time !!!...
It is hard to say who the GOAT is imagine if Fisher had the resources that Magnus has today to practice his game. Magnus is the highest rated ever with a lot of modern help.
@@jnormanton I agree Fischer should have been higher in peak ELO, which is a contemporaneous relative rating system whereas due to computers helping chess MC is better in terms of moves he makes vs Bobby's.
yeah...Magnus' opponent did well... and definitely knew the Ruy Lopez main lines...Magnus loves to keep it complicated because of these beautiful tactics that he is able to see...
Even if I lost against Magnus, I would've still felt good knowing that I even got a chance to play one of the best players in the chess world. His opponent played even though he lost.
Amazing that Magnus makes these very good players look like amateurs. I'm sure his opponent would have spotted those missed tactics if they had more time...
Carlsen always makes it look way too easy.. I just imagine him being this professor of a certain subject, explaining all the intricacies of the topic in a very comprehensive way that will be understable to anyone who has surface knowledge about the subject.
@@EarthSurferUSA bullocks😂🤣 His experience about the game would still overwhelm the information that I have learned from him, through watching this vid..
I like Magnus because he is a genuinely nice guy. He doesn't seem like someone who wins and gloats over the other players. I think it would be kewl to just have a beer with Magnus. He seems like just an average guy that is actually a true genius.
This guy playing a 5 minute match explaining his and his opponents every move and possible moves before going, meanwhile me in my 30 minute match stressing every move I make going down to the last second 😭😂 he’s just built different
I'd love to play Magnus someday, probably wouldn't have a chance but it would be fun to see the difference and perhaps have my mistakes explained, but haven't played a game in 4 years so I would probably need some freshening up on the gray brain cells too It is always enjoyable to see a good chess match and kudos to Yon606, great effort and good game
It's possible if Magnus has banter blitz on chess24. Premium members stand a chance to get their challenges accepted for these kind of instructional videos, between any rating range
The opponent thinking "Omg, I am making Magnus Carlsen take so much time to do his moves" Meanwhile Magnus telling the stream the ethymology of chess and all possible moves he could be doing and what the implications might be if he did
I love watching along thinking of what move I would make, and then when he does something like move a pawn forward one square i'm like "OH that's what I would have done we're like the same caliber of player"
@@dannygjk no. I play like a drunk monkey. I routinely lose games by ignoring checkmate in 2 and instead attempting to take all of the pieces. Don’t you do the same?!?
3:19 "After b4, there was Nd5 which should be favorable for me" I got curious here, as I did not feel the same; it being favorable. So, I put that position up for stockfish.

"My opponents play was reasonable" probably the highest praise you can get from Magnus, that's a win in my book lol
That is best compliment guy will ever receive on any matter in his life.
@@OSIRIS1980WHS you don't know maybe the guy is german ceo of the year or something you get the point.
It is definitely a win on his sight! 😊🙂👍

I imagine the player, thinking wow, I got Magnus Carlsen thinking for over a minute. I must be winning.
Lol yeah
Meanwhile, Magnus casually showing different winning options
😂😂
It ought to be a good lesson for anyone: Play solid stuff. Play what you know. Know what you play. Don’t be an idiot and you can reach the middlegame against the GOAT.
@@jwebholes7377 yeah nice
this joke has been told so many times
I love the fact Magnus explains the moves....it really helps me to understand the positions much better
Other chess players like Hikaru they also show the moves by arrow which makes it even easier to understand at least for me as a beginner.
@@HosseinQanbari true, arrows are definitely more easier to see than saying what rank or file
You know the notations off head? Coz everytime he names a square i have to look for it
@@MrRop-yp3wt 🤣
Arrows are good for beginners, but if you really want to get better at chess you should try to memorize the squares ranks and files so that you can eventually grow some balls.
It's so funny how Magnus goes "now that I think about it" after explaining several different scenarios for pretty much every move. It's incredible how immediate the options come to him.
Is that why he's the best ?
I think that guy played a great game. 1993, and playing against the world's best.. Great effort! Must feel so good to be complimented by Magnus!!
Indeed, keeping it cool and doing his best, the rating disparity didn't bother him
At least he knows openings
1992 now, after that tragic loss
@@dmitrymedvedd everybody at that point knows openings don’t they?
@@MugiwaraReilly not everybody

Absolutely, and not only that but he played pretty much theory, so even novices could pick up on the thought process.
So true! It is nice of us to appreciate that fact! A wonderful time to be a chess fan!

@@BouncingZeus he forced Kasparov into a draw when he was like 7 years old. Lol. That alone puts him at the greatest chess player to ever live.
@@justinj3262 nah, gary still the best
Magnus gained a rating point. Well deserved
Magnus always makes it look so easy. Magnus’s speech is never pressured which makes for easy listening.
I never analyzed how brilliant he is. He visualized how to destroy his opponent 2 mins before. His way to calculate every single move is really awesomem hats off
Right! Some another level shit -
That's the power of all GMs not just a super GM like Magnus
@@GuyLogen of course. They can play blind, they see in their minds and for many moves ahead. Not ordinary people
Imagine living in a time where the number one Chess player in the world for decades can talk you through his games and explain his thinking.
And chess is a game where you can actually learn from a master. Roger Federer explaining his tennis shots wouldn't make me a better tennis player.

Ok. I’m imagining that. Now what?
Idk, that's as far as I got.
@@jrd33 bro wtf obviously it would
Not me saying "nice, he can get his queen with that discovered check now" only for it to be checkmate next move.
It's scary how effortless this is for him.
Nothing sweeter than the discovered check.
Magnus' commentary definitely miles ahead of ''i let the chess speak for itself'.
Lol. As unsure as I am about the whole Niemann debacle, I will always dislike him for his “commentary”. It’s such pseudo intellectual trash. Magnus, on the other hand, gives this gem of knowledge, that players at almost any level can benefit from.

Meanwhile Hikaru:

Playing Magnus is like walking a tightrope… everything seems ok but soon as you start to lose balance the fall comes very quickly
The fall? I think you mean getting raped by a horse.

Thank you, sir. You are a very patient and talented chess instructor. I look forward to more of your short and focused chess lessons. 😇
It is always lovely to see Pros play and do the commentary.

It's really fascinating hearing his commentary and how he's conceptualizing all these different ideas at the same time.

“Opponent’s play was reasonable” *gets mated in 1*

reasonable = hopeless 😅
Magnus philosophy is scary 😉
I enjoyed analyzing this duel. It was so exciting and with brilliant moves.
I am so thankful to hear the GOAT of chess.

It is a great honor to play against maybe the best all of times.
This magnus guy is decent at chess

"I don't know who that is, [pause] obviously." 😆
Paid actor
@@grasshopperdad1479 lol
I felt the same way after I watched the queens gambit show . I got all hyped up to play and blunder my Queen in 7 moves
haha!
Prince Fernandez is a showman and a scholar. And hero. I simply cant hang.
I thought the game was nicely balanced at that point when all of a sudden magnus check-mated in next three moves lol
As someone who often gets crushed by 1993 rating players, it is most edifying to see one of them get dismissively destroyed in the same way 😆
Less than minute left and Magnus is very relaxed, all the time in the world lol
More, please!! I love hearing Magnus explain
The sequence of checks at the end was so cool to watch
which site is this?
Even if I lost against Magnus, I would've still felt good knowing that I even got a chance to play one of the best players in the chess world. His opponent played even though he lost.
Watch without sound. Even more amazing. Queen makes a 3/4 tour of the board.
Magnus carlsen played amazing!!! ❤
If he keeps this up he’ll be a decent chess player!
I would love to watch videos like this all day
I dont play chess but a chess god like Magnus doing these kinda videos must be great for chess players to watch.
We do love us some Marcus.

Not losing in under 1 min is a W in my book.
Amazing that Magnus makes these very good players look like amateurs. I'm sure his opponent would have spotted those missed tactics if they had more time...
Listening to how his mind works is fascinating. Seeing all those moves in his head. wow.

Pingas
The opponent thinking "Omg, I am making Magnus Carlsen take so much time to do his moves"
Meanwhile Magnus telling the stream the ethymology of chess and all possible moves he could be doing and what the implications might be if he did
The way he ended that was MURDER LOL
7:48 the destruction mode on of magnus 😂😂
What application is this
What platform are they using to play this game?
what online chess site is this ? looking for the pgn
Wow.. that ending was nasty
Effortlessly played.
Watching Magnus run circles around his opponent’s queen and both rooks with just a queen and knight was beyond my comprehension.
That was a beautiful checkmate sequence
Great video, loved the commentary from Magnus too.
Fascinating to see how he approaches by tactics
Just dismantled this opponent who was no pushover
Where i can watch magnus libe?
I need to learn this game and get decent how long does it take
"magzy bogues" is a top tier username 😂
Magnus most definitely an unpredictable genius
What is the name of the app game?
Many thanks !
WHAT!??? he just won the game. that was crazy
I love watching along thinking of what move I would make, and then when he does something like move a pawn forward one square i'm like "OH that's what I would have done we're like the same caliber of player"
Ikr. It felt so good for me that i actually found queen d2
16:43 Why didn't Black play Pawn to F6? Moving back his Bishop to E6 seemed to be the death blow...
Wasnt pawn B3 a mistake? Immediately taking with Nc x D5?
What stops black from Nxe4, after white castles? I have to assume it's Qe2, am I right?
does anyone know the board theme and sound Magnus used in this game ? Thanks alot
after watchingthe whole video i would have loved a line explanation of what would be best at 00:40 if Nxe4
rook can pin the knight to the pawn
This Magnus kid will be a great chess player

opponent could play Nc4 and the take on d5.
3:19 "After b4, there was Nd5 which should be favorable for me"
I got curious here, as I did not feel the same; it being favorable.
So, I put that position up for stockfish. The fish did not like Magnus suggested move. Not even top 3.
To anyone curious: stockfish suggested Na4 as top move with Nd1 as alternative. Nd5 would take position from +2 to +0,5
engines and theory ruin the game of chess. bobby was right
@@h0rk3d It ruins an idea of chess, but it evolves the game.
I would still take Magnus over Stockfish...just saying.
You play against humans, not engines. Engines calculate the best move under assumption that the opponent also makes the best engine move too.
