Magnus Carlsen is many things. He was an unbelievable prodigy, a grandmaster at 13. He was a five-time world champion with a decade long reign. He is, to many, the face of chess.
Magnus Carlsen made chess history, and when chess changed, he changed with it.
But the king of chess didn’t just change the game forever, he also brought the dark side of chess into the light, for everyone to see.

Tal is sadly not top10
Morphi
Tal is 100% top 10.
He's now attempting to complete side-quests in life, such as going to the casino & getting 1 million hikaru points on stream.
Hmmm
The voice for this is top notch, keep this man around

This video was surprising and unprecedented for this channel to feature.
if ur true follower it's not surprising at all. They do videos in chess like every now and then
It makes sense now that we know that esports is joining forces with the champions chess tour.
No matter how good Magnus is, I have never been beaten by Magnus. So. Yeah.
I get it. 😂
😂
Magnus is a boy's name with Latin origins. In Latin, this name is a direct translation meaning “greatest”. Magnus is a popular name throughout Scandinavia and was first introduced to the region by the Norwegian king, Magnus I
This man's parents already foreshadowed what magnus was going to become.
It seems like another case of nominative determinism.
Even Vishwanathan means lord of the world.
7:27 😂😂 they did Hikaru dirty there lmao
wysi
Yeah, they could've put several players who got defeated by Magnus but instead just put a clip of Hikaru throughout that portion of the video.. 😂😂
Wysi
WYSI

A chess documental in score esports before gta6😂😂
they did one on hikaru
And Tyler1.
Chess is now an esport
i smelled this comment a mile away
Everything before GTA 6
We are lucky to live in the era of the greatest chess player to date. He is far and above the greatest in his field by a gap unheard of in most sports.
fisher had much more dominance than magnus even though magnus is the best player
Tyler's gonna take that spot
@breeze9815 For about 1/20th of the amount of time. Fischer never really gave anyone the chance to catch up. He just dipped after winning. Magnus sat at the top by a crazy margin for a decade.
@@breeze9815 By this logic Paul Morphy is the greatest chess player. Fischer doesn't have anything in the GOAT discussion.
@foreverinvaliduserit is simple as that
23:30
Magnus,"See you tomorrow"
*Disconnects*
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Peak Magnus is crazyyy😮 never get bored of it, he's so strong. He's the best player ever as a whole, every format. He is just the goat, could be arguably but in my book, theres doubt.
Even in online he did continue dominating.
Only thing he doesnt dominate is bullet and TT because of Naka but dmn, but he's unpredictable af, he can play bullet against Naka tomorrow and win. I just don't get how people cant understand that, he's born different.
His winning % in TT is much better than Hikaru iirc, Hikaru plays much more
there was a whole when the world best player faced world champion of 2023 :D even if someone wins a world champ its just a 2nd place in the end :)
bro is destroying everyone in speedchess championship too😭
Young magnus was crazy
Given recent developments this is the best chess documentary ever made. Great editing work! I constantly had to pause and replay to re-live some iconic moments and games over the last eventful decade.
esports never fails to milk magnus
The glazing is crazy
at least the videos are pretty high quality
And your point is?
I've been HEAVILY invested in the chess scene since 2010... Know all the history before now.. This is actually a decent documentary tbh. 7/10. One of your better ones which was very surprising given the material
Can you recommend me other good documentary on chess/Carlsen? Tnx
@NeuroticNav sir, can you tell me what makes him better than other greats?
@@bbrother92He has the best intuitive positional understanding in chess history. This does so he knows which moves to even consider, snd therefore calculate in classical chess. It’s an even bigger advantage in blitz chess, where intuition is much more importsnt than raw calculation because of the time pressure. So makes sense why he had 7 blitz world championships, and nobody else has more than 2.
And paired with his incredible feel for the game, he is also an extremely good calculator. And his memory is second to none (which further strenghtens intuition).
@@sigurdh.s8320 Thanks and what about his russian opponent why hi is not that good?
How insane is it that if you beat magnus carlson the entire world thinks you are using a special buttplug
"Norwegian camp going crazy" shows some moderate clapping
4ra having Finch as an ambassador adds a layer of trust and class to their events pure quality
This is the best esports channel on youtube! Congratulations!
I’m march 1990 and growing up watching this legend is class. I’m a Magnus too
Imagine being the best chess player in the world and realizing you don't even own a chess board. Lmaooo
This is almost real journalism. The score moving up in reporting.
I’m surprised to see this on the channel but it’s a fantastic video. Excellent job to theScore team!
Ivanchuk is the barrier to everyone's dream to compete in finals HAHHAHA, what a menace
"Now my goal is to reach 2900"
Lmao bro he's so good that at some point he'll start having no rating change even when he beats a top GM
Magnus stands today at 2902🫡🫡🫡
@@YungScuffedno? 2900 practically impossible with the current ratings of top players
You know I understand how people like me have to constantly try to improve and work on their chess game. But it’s interesting how even players like Magnus talk about how they still spend years working on their chess.
But I suppose that’s why they say to get to the highest level you have to literally dedicate your life to the game.
Which I think also shows the true genius of Magnus being able to step away and maintain a somewhat normal and enjoyable life
The rarest thing about stories like this is the luck of having supportive parents
we are seeing the mentality of a person who has been at the mountain top for so long that it gets boring for him.
I’m relatively new to chess and all it’s characters but the things I’ve seen/read about Magnus, and also Bobby Fischer, have led me to the same conclusion. They got good then they got bored.
Aaron Finch boosting 4rabet events with his presence means you're in for top-notch quality every time
I think this doc could be even better. I know nothing about chess but have become fascinated by magnus, and there was a lot of knowledge in this video that is just assumed the viewer knows. Had you made it longer and explained more of the background and base info, this could be an all time doc about one of the greatest minds ever.
Just Google the rest... like me
@ yea so they can give their views to someone else? Missed opportunity
karjakin got to grandmaster using shady methods but magnus like many great players got it through proper route
23:20 this is how I expect athletes to feel and react after a loss and is also the reason why I don't like these forced interviews. Athletes know why they lost and everyone that watched them compete knew why they lost. Literally no reason to poke and ask questions you already know the answer too.
I really got into chess after getting my CS degree because it's fascinating how engines play. Sacrificing queens at the oddest time because it guarantees a win. Playing like no human would dare to. It's truly amazing. I've made my own crude engine using the same algos as stockfish and it was a great learning experience
I'm glad he saw sense and embraced Fischer Random. For elite players who love to express creativity, it's the most enjoyable match type.
Look, maybe its true that chess isnt as popular as other esport games out there but I can assure u guys there are sooooo many amazing stories in this game mainly because of the history. Name another one game that is out there for as long as chess?
Please keep making more of these videos as I love to watch stories made by this channel and a lot of people love chess more than any other game including me.
And maybe try covering Bobby Fischer , Mikhail Tal and some others too please :D
I've looked at the title and I clicked the video, because it seemed interesting. When I checked the channel didn't expect theScore esports to upload this.
first Hikaru, now Magnus, I guess we should expect to see Gotham chess soon 👀
we'll probably see it once levy reaches gm 😂
"If i speak, I'm in trouble" 😂😂😂
Aaron Finch with 4rabet showcases their commitment to excellence in sports and more
He's the GOAT, simple as. And who knows how long he will hold that designation. Just super natural in every way.
Magnus has to go down as one of the most brilliant people of all time, his talent is just unmatchable in chess
Yooo Seb brining RL AND Chess to the score?!?! Hell yeah
I didn't watch chess before the eval bar was introduced but it seems super refreshing to be able to watch the match without knowing exactly what is going on.
At this point, no one can deny that online chess is esports..
I'm mostly into roulette; the vibe feels just like a real casino. Got any favorites when it comes to table games
That guy with the glasses is obsessed with Magnus.
Odin must be proud for Magnus & Halland
Freestyle chess is pretty cool tbh. Really means u need Really understand instead of just memorize counters and attack combos. U need creativity and openness to new situations
From Bobby to Garry and now to Magnus. Wonder who's next. Hans ? 🤣
No! Cheater Hans will go down, down, down.
no way a Magnus video by theScore
Exposure is everything. Imagine if he never attempted to play chess...
Exactly
A 9 year old got a Grandmaster as a teacher? Lucky kid. But a certified genius.
Not as uncommon as you would think, i had 3 gm teachers from 10 to 15 and I wasn't 10% as talented, most GMs need to be teachers to earn a living so if you live near a GM hub it's very accessible
I sometimes forget if i used shampoo in my hair or not already during the shower
Finch's involvement in 4rabet also known as 4rabet ensures a blend of sport and star power at events
we are in the era of some of the best atheletes of all time and it truly is amazing to see them set, keep and push records to new heights !
Voice man sounds like a young John Saint John, I love it
dude that sacrifice 14:58
Looked it up and yeah basically whichever way that queen gets removed, it’s mate
Maguns the GOAT of Chess! lml
do u know who is prag?
@@Vj1217he is not the goat
@@Vj1217Not even the best Indian player let alone the goat
@@Vj1217you seems someone who's just got into chess and watched some pragg clips pragg has huge career in front of him but he is even the second best player right now
@@djdjdjwjhehdi pragg will be stronger than cagnus marlsen soon
Finch at 4rabet events is like a stamp of excellence always a sign that things are gonna be awesome
My goat @agadmator made it in the video !!🥳🥳🥳
CHRIS BROAD CAMEO 22:00
The chess speaks for itself....also, please ignore the buzzing sound in the background
Amazing narrator not gonna lie, dude has a smooth voice
The old voice is back. YES!
HELLOOOOO
@@sebdot_ Your voicelines were missed dearly. I still remember things from the OG Story ofs to this day.
@@sebdot_ Oh and I don't know if you can't/won't edit the videos again like in the old days, but MAN your choice of music is incredible! Have a nice day, sir! You sure have made mine.
@@Pfeifenkrautsoon tm
the 🐐
I'm happy this is the face of chess.
Every event at 4rabet is a hit with Finch his achievements in sports really draw a crowd
4ra events shine even brighter with Aaron Finch around he's a real indicator of reliability
GTA 6 taking too long, and this is proof
I saw this with the lobby music of MTG and it was fucking magestic!
I played chess in my younger years and at that time, he was rising, in my dad's time, it was Kasparov. How amazing.
Well produced
i forgot that this was thescore while watching? such a random video lol
Following some tips from my brother turned into a decent win last month. Ever had a win that felt extra sweet because it came from a tip
Update needed. Jeansgate must be covered!
Wow, a chess video on this channel is surprising. Almost like a brilliant move.
Magnus never fails to get milked
esports talking about chess was my dream!
Magnus is the goat
Sharing strategies with friends has really ramped up my betting game. Got any tactics you swear by
Magnus is easily top 3 best chess player of all time. Some say he is the goat.
THE FIRST STORY OF BACK.
The reason why I know most of the people mentioned in this video except for Magnus is because of Agadmator. Thank Agadmator for the wonderful and interesting chess videoes you've made.
I wonder how Bobby Fischer and Magnus Carlsen would play?
Great Video! This was Awesome!
Pretty cool to see a chess video here ngl
chill hikaru chill 19:43
The only reason score esports made this video is because Magnus has an elder brother who played the game
14:52 jesus 4-pinning
21:56 that actually happened? That's crazy 😂
chess boxing has been around since the 70s but ludwig's event was the biggest and included titled chess players and streamers
8:15 Lmao they said Peter Svidler instead of Vassily Ivanchuk😂😂😂
What a banger of a quote to end the video
OMG THEY ACTUALLY DID A STORY ON THE LE CHESS KING
Freestyle chess seems a very good solution
Built different
Давид, сколько времени у тебя уходит на подготовку к торговле?
You here to absorb my memory only of shorts will I watch chess
from a child chess prodigy to a GOAT
why is an esport channel covering a chess genius
Issa game
What a personality, absolute genius.
Carlsen been trolling FIDE for a couple decades😂
