@@epicchess2021 DiMeglio checkmates Einstein.
THE UNIVERSAL, BALANCED, INTEGRATED, EXTENSIVE, IRREFUTABLE, CLEAR, SIMPLE, AND TOP DOWN MATHEMATICAL PROOF THAT E=MC2 IS F=MA (ON BALANCE):
It is a very great truth that THE SELF represents, FORMS, and experiences a COMPREHENSIVE approximation of experience in general by combining conscious and unconscious experience.
What is gravity is an INTERACTION that cannot be shielded or blocked ON BALANCE. Great.
TIME dilation ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma. INDEED, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity ! Great. Accordingly, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution. Consider what is THE EYE ON BALANCE. Consider what is the fully illuminated (AND setting/WHITE) MOON ON BALANCE !! Great. Consider the tides in relation to what is the TRANSLUCENT AND BLUE sky ON BALANCE. HALF of the view of WHAT IS THE EARTH is BLUE (ON BALANCE) when the Pacific Ocean is then SEEN in full VIEW.
E=MC2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE. Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE.
Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. "Mass"/ENERGY involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE consistent with/as what is BALANCED electromagnetic/gravitational force/ENERGY, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/AS) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity.
NOW, carefully consider what is THE MAN (AND THE EYE ON BALANCE) who is standing on what is THE EARTH/ground. Touch AND feeling BLEND, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE; AS E=MC2 IS F=ma. Very carefully consider what is BALANCED BODILY/VISUAL EXPERIENCE. (LOOK up at what is the TRANSLUCENT AND BLUE sky, AS THE EARTH is ALSO BLUE.) CLEAR water comes from what is THE EYE ON BALANCE. Gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. The rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution. Great. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense, AS BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. E=MC2 IS CLEARLY F=ma ON BALANCE. Objects AND MEN fall at the SAME RATE (neglecting air resistance, of course), AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. The rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Consider what is THE EYE. So, LOOK at what is the fully illuminated (AND setting/WHITE) MOON AND what is the orange (AND setting) Sun ON BALANCE. Now, think about what is LAVA. E=MC2 IS F=ma. SO, we then multiply ONE HALF times one half in order to determine the size of the Moon. (It IS about one fourth the size of the Earth.) This is CONSISTENT with the fact that the Moon IS (on balance) LAND. Therefore, the density of THE SUN is (ON BALANCE) about ONE FOURTH of that of what is THE EARTH; AS E=MC2 IS then CLEARLY proven to be F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Very importantly, outer "space" involves full inertia; AND it is fully invisible AND black. Again, it all CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE !!!
The BULK DENSITY of the Moon is comparable to that of (volcanic) basaltic LAVAS on the Earth. The energy density of LAVA IS about THREE TIMES that of water. SO, now, get a good and CLEAR LOOK at what is the ORANGE SUN !!! We WOULD then multiply ONE THIRD times one half in order to obtain the surface gravity that is experienced by the man on the Moon. (It IS one sixth of that of the man who is on the Earth.) The maria ("lunar seas") on the Moon do take up ONE THIRD of what is the near side of the Moon. Excellent. The Moon is ALSO BLUE on balance. Great !!! Now, in conclusion, the land surface area of THE EARTH is 29 PERCENT; AND this is EXACTLY ON BALANCE WITH BOTH one third AND one fourth; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS E=MC2 IS CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY F=ma !!!!! GOT IT !!! GREAT.
E=MC2 IS CLEARLY F=ma ON BALANCE. ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY proven to be gravity ON BALANCE. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. It must be, and it is.
By Frank Martin DiMeglio
@@epicchess2021 WHAT IS E=MC2 is taken directly from F=ma, AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); AS the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution. Great.
By Frank Martin DiMeglio
@@epicchess2021 The crust of what IS the Moon is about TWICE as thick on it's far side !! The BULK DENSITY of what is the Moon is, in fact, comparable to that of (volcanic) basaltic lavas on THE EARTH/ground. The maria (Lunar “seas”) do occupy about ONE SIXTH of the surface area of what is the Moon. Almost ALL of this maria is on the near side of what is the Moon !! The surface gravity of the Moon is about ONE SIXTH of that compared to when that person is on what is THE EARTH/ground.
The Moon is about one quarter the diameter of WHAT IS THE EARTH. About one third of the visible near side of the Moon consists of maria. The LAND surface area of what is THE EARTH is at 29 percent. This is EXACTLY between one third and one quarter. Great.
WHAT IS E=MC2 is taken directly from F=ma, AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE); AS the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution. Great. FACTS.
Footprints on what is the Moon BASICALLY last indefinitely. NOW, consider what is the fully illuminated (AND setting/WHITE) MOON ON BALANCE; AND consider what is the ORANGE (AND setting) Sun. They are the the SAME SIZE as what is THE EYE. NOW, ONE HALF multiplied times one third IS one sixth. (Lava is about three times as dense as what is WATER.) CLEAR water comes from THE EYE ON BALANCE. THE EARTH IS ALSO BLUE. Notice what is the TRANSLUCENT AND BLUE sky ON BALANCE !!! Finally, notice that the curvature or shape of said/aforementioned MOON does match that of what is THE EARTH/ground (that is, given what is a clear horizon, of course). Magnificent. In other words, it is predictable, in fact, that what is the Moon is about ONE QUARTER of the diameter of WHAT IS THE EARTH ON BALANCE.
BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. Importantly, what is gravity, ON BALANCE, is an INTERACTION that cannot be shielded or blocked. I have attained a gigantic breakthrough in physics. That is beyond dispute.
Note: Lava IS orange, AND it is even blood red. Great. What is the orange (AND setting) Sun manifests or forms up at what is eye level/BODY HEIGHT.

Love the explanations on the moves. It is amazing how far ahead they are thinking when they play.
Amazing and demoralizing at the same time
Thanks Rod and yeah and on so little time as well, incredible intuition! Cheers for watching
They see more in a second than I see in a day. Beautiful minds.
They dont need to see ahead, they simply know the right move

Great analysis, amazing how such small misses make all the difference. Under the time pressure it's impossible to get everything right which is why Magnus is so impressive

great work. as a beginner i especially like how you speak slowly and in normal terms.. ‘this one here’ is so much easier to follow than knight fg8. actually makes analysis enjoyable

@@epicchess2021 Yeah, just wanna reiterate that the use of deictic language rather than alphanumeric codes is really natural for me. I can watch your content without constantly interrupting my learning because I'm checking which piece they are talking about.
@@jordandoyle7636 oh awesome glad to hear. Thanks for watching, Jordan!
To be fair though if you really want to making improvements in your game you should learn notation and being able to identify squares is important. You’re kind of handicapping yourself with this attitude
@@jasonanno3881 This is pretty irrelevant for chess spectators that have no interest in playing chess competitively themselves. It's like a cartographer speaking about their project in co-ordinates to someone who only knows the locations by name or sight - totally useless 😆.

Once again I’m commenting on your videos, great explanation, love that you aren’t constantly cutting it when you misword something or cough, authentic video and steady pace, thanks

first video I have watched, loved the analysis, which was very easy to follow. I just had to subscribe👍
Thanks a lot, Elias! Glad you enjoyed, cheers for watching and subscribing
Same here 😃
Excellent commentary and analysis. Liked the way you pointed out better moves for both players, reinforcing the idea that a different move changes everything!😇
Thanks a lot, Andrew! Cheers for watching
Amazing content, have been watching already some of your vids and always enjoyed them. Basic explanation but still going in deeper in your analysis, without making it too complicated. Subscribed 👍
Edit: would be nice if you added the whole game on auto play (5 seconds time between moves or something like that) with the evaluation bar after your analysis. I wouldn't like the bar to be there while your own analysis though :)
Thanks a lot appreciate it and cheers for subscribing! Glad to hear you're enjoying the level it's pitched at. Yeah cool idea, I could maybe run a poll on it soon to see if others would want to. One of my hesitations is that I' not sure so many people would stick around for it and so when they all drop off at the end it wouldn't be so great for helping the video reach others (the dreaded UA-cam algorithm...), plus they miguht then miss the end screen which links another video in case they're interested. But just some initial thoughts. By the way, on LiChess, you can create GIFs of a game, so bring p the game you want to analyze and then can view it how you describe, in case that ever helps!
@@epicchess2021 yeah you're right, I guess not many people would wanna watch it then again. How about adding it as a short or separate video with the link to it in the description?
Love your content! The setup is also so clean. 🎉

Great analysis; first video I've watched. Subbed.
Man, Magnus is a different species isn't he.
Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed! Cheers for subscribing. And yeah his intuition is just insane, you really see the difference between him and Fabi in these quicker times controls especially
Yeah! Too much aid from moves, not in the caliber of Talk, Fischer and Kasparov. Pure human brain moves
Magnus is master of end game, opening and mid is strong....yet the end game is amazing and stunning
Thank you for the great explanation !! As a beginner, learnt a lot from this video of urs !! Thankss to you again 🤩

10:25 After pawn to G4, black pawn to H3, what would white do?
I cant remember details sorry but that g4 move would have drawn for Fabi if he played one move erlier!
This wouldn’t be big achievement if you play against some weaker players, but playing against Caruana is really something!
Yeah he’s really got Fabi’s number right now! Happy New Year protoword!
@@epicchess2021 Thank you, and 2U2.
Caruana is a weaker player
@@sebastianodena5587
No, Caruana is not a weaker player than him self.
I know you've all been waiting for this. He sacrificed.... the ROOOOOK!!!
Haha 😁 thanks for watching
Did you intentionally post the thumbnail with an incorrect board?
No although it’s thrown a few people, I was just trying to show snapshot of position right before Magnus sacs, and indicating that the knight was about to drop. But it’s made it look like white to move is the problem ! Thanks for watching, Don
What does he mean at 10:08 by hitting the rook with tempo? What’s tempo in this context?
As in forcing Magnus to move the rook away, no option to consider other moves. But in general, a tempo in chess just means like a move, I guess it’s derived from Latin for time, you’re gaining time basically. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching
@@epicchess2021 thanks so much for responding! New to chess but really enjoying learning it, and tempo is one of the terms that's been difficult for me to grasp.
@@0verboosted yeah there's a ton of random words and often from other languages in chess ha. I'll have to do a video on it soon helping people de-mystify it all!
I never played chess, but I enjoyed your commenting.
Thanks a lot! Glad to hear, cheers for watching
in the beginning the pawn on e4 is unprotected. Why not take it with the knight?
I’m not sure of the exact position meant but usually it’s to do with the opponent being able to counter and win back your own central pawn
It's ridiculous how much chess content I watch when I don't even know how to play chess.
😂 you should have a dabble it’s good fun! Thanks for watching all the same, Chris
1:40 lol what? fabbie came up with that move?
👍👍👍
Thanks for watching
Great move, spoiling the solution in the thumbnail.
Genius.
Ah not intentional! Was designed to have the opposite affect of pausing the move before he ditches the knight. I guess one for me to think about more in future. Thanks for watching anyway hopefully didn’t detract too much
How to change subjects
Doesn't pawn to G4 still lose? Wouldn't black just take the knight with the king in that case, rather than moving the rook?
Yeah although then you can win two pawns and the rook
Endgame with only one pawn left should be a draw
thx
No worries thanks for watching Kasia
It's really nice that you can't see the whole board on screen wahahahahahahahs
How you mean? Should be visible!
so, which move STUNNED the chess commentators?
Well when he gave the knight basically, but perhaps a little embellished I take your point. The commentary is really though and they were pretty impressed! Thanks for watching Johan
@@epicchess2021 Ahh so the king to G6? Aye that was a stunning move!
Gee gee to e7 crown 👑 it 👍
Haven't watched it.
But, if your thumbnail is correct and it is really White to move, Nh6 x Kf7 is on the board.
Yeah I seem to have thrown a few people with that, I was more just looking to push the game right at the moment before Magnus moves his king and sacs the knight and then because the title talks about the piece sac I used the arrow and the highlight to show which piece was getting sacked. That was the thought process anyway! Thanks for watching, Barry
Is it something on my end or is the voice nearly inaudible?
You’re first to comment it so I think ok? Maybe turn it up a bit? See if helps. Thanks for watching anyway, Tabby!
He sounded fine to me?
At 10:09 why not take the white pawn? Seems like the same ending with less moves.
Taking the white pawn doesn't trap the knight
Yeah as said below! Thanks for watching, Charles
Maybe its because of my inexperience or my inability to calculate lines as far as Fabi does, but I just don't understand what Fabi is thinking at times. My first thought at 3:44 was rook a7. That was actually the only move I saw. Any other move just did not make sense. I don't know. I'm not a grandmaster
Edit :- (Oh this is blitz. My bad lmao. I take everything back)
haha yeah not sure but Magnus went Magnus on him in endgame that was they key! thanks for watching
The title screen doesn't make sense. Black is in check.
Oh yeah a few people have said that! I’ll have to bear in mind for next time. Was more just looking to snapshot the moment before Carlsen moves his king and then indicating that the knight is about to fall. Thanks for watching anyway Jeffery
I actually beat him once a few years ago. Then he beat me next game. I got lucky as he was playing 12 other games, blindfolded, with one hand tied behind his back, standing on one leg, listening to heavy metal music in his earphones, with exotic dancers dancing on a stage directly behind me, with a nuclear bomb threat going off in the background. It was just a nuclear alarm test, if I'm being perfectly honest.
He's a good kid.
😃😁 nice
Pretty standard manoeuver. White simply blundered by missing g4.
Yeah, I thought the knight trap was very cool though
where is the sacrifice?
I guess he is winning it straight back but he’s temporarily down a piece at least when he gives the knight! thanks for watching
My brothers friend plays chess. He's really good too.
It's a great game indeed 😁 thanks for watching!
Lol. I was joking. It is the best game though.
Magnus is rated 3000+. He still can't beat Stockfish at about 4023.
Sorry, looking at your thumbnail image, if he can take the knight with his rook, he can also take the King with his knight.
Yeah I’ve thrown a few people there making it look like it is white to move! Was just trying to indicate that the knight is about to drop is all
You sound normal at 1.8x speed.
Haha thank goodness for playback speed, I get some people telling me it goes too fast as well! 😩
9:39 thumb nail
😁 thanks for watching
Notes
What happens if at time 3:20 the knight goes to g5
that pawn on h6 would capture it
I see now why I am not a GM haha.
Haha yeah these guys are beasts just love watching them do battle! Thanks for watching
I was expecting to hear an excerpt of the commentators being stunned, like the title implied so. But it didn't happen. I'm disappointed.
Oh sorry about that, I included a short one at the start. Maybe should have ran it again but for a bit longer
Trent and Howell are such Magnus fanboys… partying with the GOAT gives them such status 🤣🤣🤣
Haha yeah they are pretty close especially Howell. I watched the chess brah video recently as well partying with Magnus 😆
@@epicchess2021 they take turns reminding viewers that they know Magnus personally by asking each other for juicy details and then delicately refusing to answer 🤣🙄
where stun?
Context?
World blitz tournament recently played!
@@epicchess2021 Thank you.
For Point of view, it would be better for you to flip the board.
Ah yeah I’ll bear that in mind for future thanks Jason. I get others who moan when I did it from the black side lol. Often depends as well on whether I’m giving the result away I’m the title etc Thanks for watching!
4:57 Nothing you said there is correct because you are ignoring the Knight in G6. So nothing you said there was correct.
No it’s all correct I just didn’t point out what happens if the knight takes in e5, then simply rook recaptures. Maybe should have done! Thanks for watching Mark hope you enjoyed despite that bit
"Nothing you said there was correct" 🤓
how is this a win without a checkmate?
At the top level the players rarely go until checkmate. They play until they know its futile to continue, either because the position is a draw or the position is completely lost.
In this case it was pointless to continue because Magnus (black) had 2 connected pawns in a rook endgame while fabi (white) had none. This kind of advantage is usually absolute (I say usually because there may be a situation where you can still force a draw, but I'm not certain). To struggle further would only delay the inevitable
Yeah like Chicken Levi said! Thanks for watching
I can’t really remember the last time I saw a grandmaster get checkmated besides instances where they allow a mate to happen because it’s a beautiful sequence or just out of sportsmanship. Even at my level, 1900ish, most games are usually resignation or draws
wrong thumbnail, black move
Someone else mentioned something about that as it happens! I mean I was basically just looking to show that the knight is attacked by the rook and indicate that that is the piece that Carlsen sacrifices to then trap the white knight. Thanks for watching anyway Romas
Did magnus win?
Yeah
Since the title is about Magnus, shouldn't Magnus be on bottom?
Potentially though it’s hard to win with that one because I get a lot of other comments always wanting white on the bottom!
Thumb nail doesn't even make any sense - the king is in check from the knight??
Sorry I’ve thrown a couple with that, not intentional though! Was just trying to indicate that the knight is attacked and next move will drop, like a snapshot the moment before Magnus plays the move to give it up but maybe not portrayed the best way. Thanks for watching Shaun
