(I think you can view them without becoming a member, not sure though. If need be, you can open a free membership. Takes only half a minute)
Be aware though. The games are nonsense. Opponents are complete beginners.
+Nobody Really Thanks for the link! Fortunatly that the opponents was beginners! Against masters, i think he can't win any of those games (too complicate to memorise all the complication that could appear on the board).
For the very vast majority of people this kind of memory feat, let alone chess playing ability, is bewildering and totally unattainable. Magnus has amazing abilities.
+Peter Corteen Yes, most people just don't understand how incredible this is.
And it's a shame that all this talent is being put towards chess...Why not mathematics or physics? Somewhere in the realm of science and technology.
Just because he is good at this does not mean he wpuld be as good at something else.
He is the world champion now, a celebrity and a millionaire. Why to venture in mathematics or physics when you are so good in chess?... Norway needs a world chess champion, not a mathematician!
No... Each Great player had played blindfolded chess.... whether he was ficher,tal,Alexander Alekhine, or who not.... Its possible for everyone who can focus....
We are also in blindfolds.. we dont see boards.
idk why these are abusing him , but also fuck you
fack all of u
Damn guys this is most horrifying comments go wrong in the history of youtube.. i might as well join the gang.. phuch ya all.

17:46
We are all very lucky as chess fans to have Magnus Carlsen in this world.
this is the longest i've seen him without his water bottle
The fact he’s playing blindfolded Against multiple opponents simultaneously is crazy.
BUT THE FACT HE CHOSE A DIFFERENT OPENING ON EVERY SINGLE BOARD IS INSANE.
It's actually quite logical. If you have similar looking positions you might mix them in your mind.
Makes it way easier to remember the - different structured - positions.
I would do the same.
I tried playing blindfold chess against my dad (I was blindfolded and he was not). It was really hard and I couldn’t calculate over 2 moves as I constantly had to repeat where the pieces were in my head. The game was full of blunders and missed wins, but after around 40 moves I managed to simplify from a worse middlegame into a drawn rook and pawn endgame where we accepted a draw. It was an amazing experience!
Nope
You have Magnus remembering all the moves and then you have those two fools who can't even give feedback without mixing up the boards or interrupting him while he's giving the order for another board.
Samurai Jack jann is a gm rated higher than most ever will
5 boards is far from record (56 -- G Koltanovsky)
And here is a real fool who will never become a GM and still calls a GM a fool.
Yes but here moves doesn't come in order board after board, moves overlap, there is some confusion and it is timed event.
GM Timur Gareyev did recently a record of 48 boards. To be accepted as a record opposition rating and final result must be high enough, which it was. .
was that blindfolded? @bach5861
This video needs to be edited to show the board positions please!
+JJ Sevins Can't you play through the positions in your head?
+JiminyPopapill .... so what's the problem?
I can't see or hear anything. I can't even see your comment.
+JiminyPopapill obviously you can smell it ...
+SearchBucket2 I smell colours
Genius. It’s amazing to be living in such a time with the Mozart of chess. Appreciate greatness.
I didn't expect to see the legendary Fanchen here. Nice to see you around.
What is this legend doing here
Its him
17:05 magnus's reaction tho😂😂😂😂
When ever Magnus is interviewed he struggles to find words, and express him self. When he plays chess everything falls smoothly on place just like he wants. It's like his brain was made to play chess.
Chess should be in all schools.
PuroYO It is?
I think he means that is should be required. Which IMO it should. The brain can learn and be improved a lot more by chess than about 99% of stuff in schools.
Should be compulsory like PE is imo
PuroYO school would destroy the fun of chess.
PuroYO I had a school in which it was... Not a great experience.
I hope they're giving him at least a 10 second increment per move, given how long it takes to read out the moves, then for him to say the move back, then the guy to do the move.
+Apollys nope , he is doing it by the rule ... like a Boss :D
Alexander Alekhine was the best world Champion in Blindfold Chess. He played simultaeous 32 strong players in 1934, won 19, draw 9 and lost 4!
Extremely incredible....Taking down 5 different types of opponents blindfolded itself was astounding and unbelievable...but the difficulty was doubled when the two idiots are attacking Magnus with incessant and mingling updates on boards.
it's because magnus was low on time
Much more than doubled. I could easily do 5 blindfolded games, even against 1600 rated players, in normal conditions and with 5 minutes on each clocks (and I'm only 2150). But in these conditions I doubt I could even do 3 boards. It's really insanely more difficult..
@@emphyriohazzl1510 Bla bla bla! You couldn't even do one!
@@ChocolateMilk.. that's weird, people that feel the need to question or attack other people's claim without knowing the slightest thing about them. Would never occur to me to act like this. I am not talking out of my ass anyway. Maybe you think so because you think it's an incredible feat to play blindfold, when in fact most active chess players at 2000+ would be able to play at least 2 blindfold games at once (it's not as difficult as it may seem) and I used to play blindfold bullets for hours with a good chess friend, quite often, even wasted at 5am, when I was still competitively active, so I have a bit more practice than most. I've done 6 games at once to impress family on one occasion and although it wasn't timed, I could most likely have done it with 5 min on my clock (with my time only going down between hearing the move made on a board, and gving my move).
I am just saying that to insist on the fact that I would be completely unable to do what Magnus does here : playing several blindfold games in such chaotic conditions, where moves from each boards come at the same times increases the difficulty tremendously.
Couldn't agree more about those 2 idiots
When he was a child, someone told him that ,"chess" is the most difficult game in the world, that's how he choose to put his entire brain work in playing chess. And bacame a chess legend. He knew around 10000 past chess games.
No, he himself said that he just wanted to beat his sister
No words... His modesty tells everything.
And the fact that all those 5 players were above 2400 rated players
So frustrating to watch this guys messing up and wasting Magnus’ time when he already gave the move “long ago”!!
I',m just watching and I am having a headache.
lol
This is really an amazing performance. Playing 5 blindfold chess games isn't extremely difficult, even with a time limit of 5 minutes per game for the blindfold player, if it's done the usual way with each board played always in the same order (when the opponent playing on board 5 must wait for the blindfold player to have played his move on board 4 before playing his move). But this chaotic simultaneous where the opponents can play whenever they want and the moves are announced immeditaely adds an enormous additional difficulty.. Really amazing...
On July 16, 1934 in Chicago, Alekhine set the new world record by playing 32 blindfold games with 19 wins, four losses, and nine draws. Edward Lasker was the referee for this event
Using a clock in these types of game is a bad idea. :-P
if they ever go again for this, I would say each board should have had their own commentator and Magnus' time should only start after the board gets announced to his attention, then clock starts.
Now I respect magnus much more than I did before watching this vídeo... Bravo magnus 👏👏👏👏👏
I must say, these vr glasses he's wearing look awkward...
Did some surgeon take out your brain or something?
Religion Ripper thats for u cuz u can't understand a joke

@@axelgza8497 😂😂😂
17:05 "shit shit shit shit" LOL gotta love Carlsen.
amazing photographic memory!!
Actually more like eidetic memory. But yes, not bad. Not bad at all.
what's the difference
@ XownXihqX
In short.
First of all, since he is blindfolded, no 'visual snapshot" is taken of the actual position. Therefore, the photographic part doesn't exist. (it is even very questionable if there is such a thing as "photographic memory")
Secondly, he remembers the positions as he constructed them in his mind. And they dynamically change each move. If something is missing/gone wrong he is able to recall the moves/positions by going back in his mind and reconstruct, where things like the voice of the person giving him the moves, the moves given to him before and after, a smell, a sound, a thought he had, a calculated variation at the time or any other external factor, help him do that.
Thirdly. There is a nice test to show this. If you present Carlsen with a real chess position for a split second he can flawlessly reconstruct it for you on another chessboard many years later. Now, if you present him with a chessboard and 32 pieces randomly placed on random squares he will only be able to recollect a handful or so. This has been tested many times with people like Kasparov, or even me (said the fool). :-)
So, there is no "photographic" aspect to his memory. It's just a ridiculously good one. Even eidetic is probably somewhat inaccurate.
Google it for more details.
Nobody Really i can tell what his ability is obviously it has nothing to do with a tangible photo but it's a visualizing skill, but if you google eidetic memory it says it's photographic memory in short so that's not the term for this skill.
@ XownXihqX
Hi. The difference you asked about initially, between when people use the term "photographic memory" and "eidetic memory", is subtle but significant. When googling you might want to dig a bit deeper.
Have a look at www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200603/the-truth-about-photographic-memory and www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-there-such-a-thing-as/
Like I said before, it's uncertain/unlikely Carlsen has an eidetic memory but he does possess an impressive one!
Also, let's not go on and on about this for too long, shall we? :-)
Have a nice day,
NR.
how did he remember all the position for all the boards ..
Because he is a fu***ng genius
bc they are different, thats why he played different openings
Alex H. yeah but how did he remember everyboard after two three moves ..
Devashish Joshi yup ,, .
Every GM can do the same. Alekhine did that with 32 boards.
No question, he is superhuman! However, not sure how he was managing with those terrible assistants.
Magnus is astonishing but unfortunately, he was embarrassingly let down by two incompetent relay messengers who each had a simple job to do but failed to listen out for his moves! Hats off to Magnus for his remarkable talent, for staying calm and not telling those two muppets what he must have thought of them!
4 years later I had the same thought
this is just unbelievable.
They are confusing Magnus
Two true chess master geniuses don’t need boards they just yell the moves at each other
These commentators make me angry, why would you just scream a move, whenever it happens, without letting Magnus decide a move on the other board.
magnus asked them to do it.
Perhaps because Magnus told them to do it that way?
@@scrumpymanjack How do you know? Is that in the video that I missed somehow?
Astro Fizx yes, it is.
2:22
And Bobby Fischer complained about noise in the audience. He would not have beaten Magnus
Timur Gareyev has the world record playing 48 blindfolded at once. Highest rated of the bunch was 2200 master who he beat.
He is like Gauss in Math, like Mozart in music, like Messi in football
No. He is like Magnus Carlson in chess.
mi in yo mama
I had a friend beat me blind folded once. I was in awe. granted I'm very low rated, but it went into end game and was still very impressive. this is utterly incredible.
Man i wish i had his memory.... Would make life so much easier.
Omg was thinking same thing
Seriously, Magnus keeps 5 boards in his head. These commentators can't even play his moves fast enough. So obnoxious that he goes so low on time on board 2 and 3. He literally wasted 50 seconds off his game clock for one mistake that eventually snowballed to mess with two boards and their time because he had to correct them.
Hockey Life the assistant is a grandmaster
and how does that matter? he (the assistant) still did miserably and caused Magnus to lose on time because he wasn´t able to simply execute his moves in 2, at max 3, boards.
This man's ability is beyond my voccubulary, I have no word to praise or appreciate it. One thing I want to know why aren't there four assistant instead of two?
One fucking move at a time!
I hate the fact they cut out some of the video and the commentators are confusing Magnus to the point he lost track of time and position. But I am still glad that he pulled through.
Weakest clap I've heard
Why those guys are so red?
Those two made an impeccable job about ruining the games with the rushing and talking over each other. That said, i'll go back to playing my diablo
lol
His observation haki is unmatched
over level 9000!
Legend
God of chess....It's very fortunate to live in his era....
He realy someone can tell you "i can beat you with my eyes close" lol 😂😂😂😂
Magnus kinda sounds like Pewdiepie. This was amazing tho. He always impresses.
Impossible for me to do this. Magnus has great talent very impressive
What a tepid clap after the games were over!!! I mean this extra terrestrial skills this genius possesses deserved far more lauding!!
Dude calls out a move on 1 or 2 while Magnus is making a move on 4 or 5. Then just let the clock run while calling out moves on 3 and 4. And doesn’t let him know it’s his move. Painful to watch
Timur Gareyev did that with 48 board while riding bike.
The MASTER!!
MY CHESS HERO FOR LIFE
15:28 the player in the background (board 4) moves with his left hand and clicks on the clock with his right.
17:14 same player forgets to click on the clock and then does the same mistake
the time he seems silent in between moves, he is just humming some songs in his head
9:11 the guy on the right didnt punched the clock after he moved his bishop
that's good magnus played on his time
*Breathing into the microphone loudly*
I agree with you guys, the commentators not-blindedfold messed the thing.. they missed the moves played by Carlsen or even blundered the number of the board, lol
Amazing job by Magmus, thumbs up
Not even Goku could reach this level
Who on the earth kept his nose near the mic? For the 1st 12min I thought it was me..
Now that’s what you call a photographic memory
Without the chessboard, this video is meaningless. Also I don’t see the need to blindfold Magnus, he can’t see the chessboards anyhow. Magnus is taking 5 boards, blindfold, simul with clocks is mind boggling. Also he is moving from board to board randomly, which makes it worse. He took three boards blindfold before.
Not a single chess position shown -- this could have been an MP3 podcast

Unbelievable absolutely amazing
In 1934 Alexey Alekhine gave blindfold seance of chess on 32 (!!) chessboards against 32 opponents. It is hard to believe but it is true. But it was not blitz chess, it was traditional chess. Current traditional chess record according to Wikipedia is blindfold chess against 48 opponents (Timur Gareyev, 2016). I don't know how the chess players are able to do it. My grandfather was very fond of playing chess and he played good, but he could only play blindfold for first 15-20 moves of the game (and that was against me, who was then 6-year old boy).
Jan from Chess 24 was here!
"Board 4: Queen F8, That should be mate... I Hope"
I wish I had his memory.
The time thing is so unfair because he is giving the move instantly but they are taking a long time to actually make the move for him and then hit the clock. Can't they figure out a better way to do it?
Why i can't remember my previous Move with eyes open 🤣
It was Rook takes g4 ..
Also at just 1 board, hahaha
It’s infuriating that they don’t get that they have to let him think one move at a time. always shouting three moves at the same time 🤬
When magnus is effin genius and im here having a headache
Brains and guts.
Shame! two or three times he had to say "I did ## a long time ago!" and incidentally lost on time... Really impressive play though!
The commentators really fucked this one up, Grandmaster or no fucking Grandmaster, THEY FUCKED UP!!
Magnus carlson... Example of capabilities and capacity of human mind.... Just need to access ... Magnus gifted.....
Level 1: Play blindfold chess.
Level 2: Only make legal moves.
Level 3: Make good moves.
Level 1000: Blindfold simul, but it's anarchy.
Those 2 People in the stage yells where the opponent Moves the chess pieces
Tremendous Play... And hats off to him...
His brain was working very hard. What he did isn't impossible, I'm sure some individuals can do it too. Probably people with IQ's above 120 with a lot of hard work can actually play blindfolded.
How fucking stupid is this for not showing the boards??? And meanwhile Magnus is playing blind blitz againstv5 people and these guys can't even figure out the right board number?
What do they mean by 'It's never been done'? It obviously has been done times and times again.
+ImlekSutra Yes, and this wasn't even the first time Magnus has done.
+ImlekSutra
Lots of players have done blindfold simuls, but not timed and taking moves in random order.
The way he remembers every game is by replaying from start if he forgets it. I am an average/good club player and I could play one game blindfolded but it's extremely hard and makes your brain hurt. His advantage is that his openings are wide so that he gets a very early advantage, nevertheless he is capable of inhuman things
He knows that what normally they can move against him...on base of this theory he play brilliantly. Focus he has extraordinary memories. We can also do this trick with beginer ,who will play exactly what we want.But to do this we need lots of practice.This all seniors player is just like kids for carlsen , bcz he what they can think ..But carlsen can't do this with anand , kasprove , and other top level gm.
He is world champ for a reason!!!!
Where did they get this alien from ?
Extraordinary
And I can hardly keep track of the pieces with no blindfold and the board right in front of me..
Looks like we are in blind fold also ! We can't see the chessboard too !
I mean I can see how this is possible.
Magnus Carlsen is hiding a gaming pc tower running stockfish inside his chin
a normal human cannot remember all 10 board in his head. It's super human ability.
he is like boss
Aban Turley Not boss, Master King of Chess
it's amazing shocking
