"Why am I playing the London?" "Why are we playing this stupid line" "Why are we in the endgame after 12 moves? Oh boy..." "How do I make progress" "Have to go full sad mode" That's the London system through Magnus's eyes. So now we now 😂
Beautiful game! I actually learned a lot of things watching him play and he's become more chill with time so I think he has what it takes to actually be a great teacher
Its because theyre approaching end game and the player with the most developed king in an end game with equal pieces usually wins since a king is considered a pawn hunter
@@BodiBadajust as in real life usually the kings arent known for their skills in close combat (nor they are expected to be) but for their strategical genius but they will still have the upperhand against simple warriors which are pawns.
Saw him moving the king and looked it like he was going to castle and I thought to myself _"Yea, that seems like a sensible move.."_ but then I nearly spat coffee all over my keyboard when he dropped the king on e2 instead. 🤣 But then again, I suppose the queens were off the board and he was just getting a head start on the endgame..
That rook move is clutch, queen trade too, in that line that black queen has got some options on that side if you miss it it goes 100 percent for black
I fiddled with the London system against a bot and my vision was foggy I was like wth how do I defend that move I can’t move my queen but now I know how to counter it 🌚
It connects the two rooks to defend each other while keeping the one rook on the side of the board to help with the attack on that side. Notice how the next 5 moves are pushing pawns on that side. Also it Magnus Carlsen, he does what he wants.
Even I don't caste king side too much in the London. Gotham the nerd said to castle queen side(if opponent castles king side) or not to castle to be aggressive. It works out often at in 1300 level in rapid/blitz.
The knight has to block the check by the queen and the premove is the queen taking the knight. There just isn't a knight anymore after the queen moved.
@@naeznal sorry, I don’t understand.When the queen checks ,the knight could block the check and if the queen takes the knight then the black king can take the white queen and the game goes on. How does he checkmate at the end? Or does he technically do not block with the kignt and he just resigns?
He premoved the knight thinking the opponent would want to do a bishop trade. But what ended up happening was the opponent moving the rook to take his knight, so nothing to be premoved anymore. And his bishop can now take the enemy's bishop, doing the planned trade but in a different.
Magnus moves Bishop to E2 then pre-moves Knight to E2, with the expectancy that his opponent will take his Bishop with theirs (theirs is currently on H5). The opponent, however, doesn't take as expected and instead takes the Knight on D4 with his Rook.
Youre still not explaining the point of blacks move and how it works. It's a deflection tactic off of a skewer that exchanges the rook for two pieces which only works because the second rook can trade with check.
Black's rook took his rook, and Magnus immediately took back. He calculated that line, so he knew it was coming, so the entire sequence happened quickly.
I love using the London to arrive at an even middle game. Even materially. And even posionqlly (per SF). But damn if opponents won't over-value the evenness. It's so easy to blow up the symmetry by just waiting for a big liquidation...thus enabling you to bone off 2 pawns. 'Doh...look at meet go with my extra material!' Silly, silly, billy. I have perfected barfing up pawns in endgames. Why opponents fail to resign then and there is so ridiculous. I even send them a link to this video. And still they don't resign!!!! Ugh!! Childish. And churlish!😑
Magnus is the best in the end-game so he does not care until it is a balanced pieces exchange. He does this all the time. He is "simplifying the game" :)
The education is in his play. Watch and learn. Don’t expect in depth instructional banter with Magnus. Watch Hikaru if you want someone to explain every move and every possible line during the game.
The opponent was just flinging out moves towards the end, not taking time to observe material that he could collect. Those little inaccuracies lead to losses.
He isn’t a chess teacher. It’s a glimpse in the mind of a chess genius.
He is fucking chess himself
Yea I gotta be honest I ain't ever learned anything from Magnus, he's the best but I don't think he could teach me to move a knight 😂
Yess
He should teach chess but to max out on blind chess
He cannot. Because the minds of the common chess prospect can not possibly comprehend what this man is thinking.
I love how he acts all confused as if he’s a total beginner💀
"Should've studied...should've studied it...didn't!" Can I get an amen!!!
"Why am I playing the London?"
"Why are we playing this stupid line"
"Why are we in the endgame after 12 moves? Oh boy..."
"How do I make progress"
"Have to go full sad mode"
That's the London system through Magnus's eyes. So now we now 😂
Its even sadder when us mortals play it....

1:18 Did man really play ke2 😂
At this point, he's just doing sidequests; Ke2 is just wild.

@@drcielgeek1999 He is a World champion bro
Anyone else frantically pause the video in confusion after Ke2? Just me....got it.
Because they’re entering the endgame
A sign someone is a GM is their ability to just move the king. Not even to castle or evade a check, just moving it seemingly randomly
It connects the two rooks to defend each other while keeping the one rook on the side of the board to help with the attack on that side. Notice how the next 5 moves are pushing pawns on that side. Also it Magnus Carlsen, he does what he wants.
It's a good move bc they're approaching the end game.

People, why horse can't take the premoved queen at the end ?

@@alfonsolopc There is a pawn on D4 protecting the queen so the king can't take the queen.
Someone can explain to me what happened at min 4:01?
Yeah same
He premoved the knight thinking the opponent would want to do a bishop trade. But what ended up happening was the opponent moving the rook to take his knight, so nothing to be premoved anymore. And his bishop can now take the enemy's bishop, doing the planned trade but in a different.
4:21, what just happened?
King moved out of the way revealing the rook, black rook took it and king took it back
This guy has a chance to be really good someday
Can someone explain what happened @ 4:03
Magnus moves Bishop to E2 then pre-moves Knight to E2, with the expectancy that his opponent will take his Bishop with theirs (theirs is currently on H5).

I’m so shit at chess 😅
You too huh?
@@johninduisi4886 😂👌🏽
4:30 how is this possible
The opponent moves king even the rook was there.
Someone please explain I'm beginner
magnus premoved, so it seemed like the king moved towards the rook
Yeah these premoves are confusing 😅
1:06 Knight to G5 wouldve been better, cause then check with the bishop.
HE IS MAGNUS
Bro teaching magnus
Really 😂
@@memetemplatespro not teaching.... Just saying
Kf6 takes. Or simply king moves. Then what after? You dont think at least 5 steps ahead before moving?
Why doesn’t black take the white queen with the knight at the end???
Why the bishop disappear with the knight at 4:01 in the e2 square????
It is pre move
@@Truck.4817 ty
This guy is pretty good
What happened at 4:23? Magnus’ Rook just magically got eaten by his King 😨 somebody elaborate for me please
Black's rook took his rook, and Magnus immediately took back. He calculated that line, so he knew it was coming, so the entire sequence happened quickly.
He premoved king to take back rook
cxd4, Rc1+, Kg2, Rxg1+, Kxg1, Bxe2. Hope this helps
could he have not gotten checkmated if the opponent promoted to a knight 5:10
Nope bcause in that case he could have eaten the other kniight who would have been defenseless

5:06 Black Knight g5 (checkmate), white Kf3, then black promotes to queen (checkmate), white king goes to E3 then black qe4 checkmate and win
Black knight g5 doesn't even do anything to the king though? The king is just trapped with that move and magnus could proceed?

Black win a1 promotion knight chekmate..?
If black went under promotion to a knight, White king takes knight on F3, because knight on F3 wasn’t guarded
im too old i can never reach this level, thank you Mr. Carlsen
Never say never, nothing is impossible
whatever, Qe5 is not mate but a Botez Queen sacrifice for nothing lol
How with that knight it is mate?????
black moves knight to e5, white moves q to e5 mate
Because after the initial queen check the black knight must block (only move) then the queen will capture the knight with mate
It’s a premove. Knight defends from check, Queen takes.
was promoting to a knight mate?
forget it he can take the knight
3051 😶🌫️
why did he sacrifice his queen in the last wtf
It's not a sacrifice it was a premove
King has nowhere else to move for the check so Knight blocks e5 and then Queen takes at e5 protected by a pawn
Noob 😂
Can someone explain why he gave away his queen ?????😊
Magnus is the best in the end-game so he does not care until it is a balanced pieces exchange. He does this all the time. He is "simplifying the game" :)
@@SuperAntonPetrov sure he’s the best, but Unless it’s a form of disrespect then I don’t see the purpose lol.
He didn't the knight is there to block he took the knight
The only move black has is to give away a knight so he premoved queen takes knight.
GOAT
Full sad mode lool 😭
