I think Sipke Ernst knew. Magnus was already very famous back then and many saw him as a future worldchampion. But Sipke Ernst was playing a great tournament (like Levy said) I think he won every game until this one.
@Corey Lambrecht Chess isn't social media, you idiot. Just because something is done on or with technology, doesn't make it social media.

I saw GothamChess's post being burned out and thought I would tell my story as an inspiration. When I was in the first grade, my parents got me tested and found out I had extreme learning disabilities. My education experience was a nightmare, to say the least. Teachers constantly told me I would amount to nothing, and I would either end up in prison or a high school dropout. My parents and my faith in God helped me get through it. My parents found a school that specialized in children with learning disabilities. So, there I am in the seventh grade, unable to read or write other than my name and two-letter words. I had teachers constantly tell me I would be nothing in the world after about six months in my new school and after-school programs specializing in teaching children with learning disabilities. Finally, I was able to read for the first time in the middle of the school year. I went from a d and f student to an A and B student. I not only graduated from high school with a 3.7 gpa but also went on to community college and then University. I am now working for my master's and doctorate. I have never let anyone tell me I can not do something. It only fuels me to do it. It might take me longer, but I will get there. On a side note I was in middle school when my uncle taught me how to play chess. I loved the challenge of the game, and it was a lot better than checkers. Unfortunately, I put it down after high school because of how hard I had to fight to get through college and University. But you have reenergized my love for the great game called chess. I have purchased four of your courses and only lack your gambit courses. I just finished my studies in Vienna, and thank you for the great content and for making chess fun. By my faith in God, God's direction, and my parent's fighting for me has lead me to be able to achieving anything in life. Give a like Levy Hoped this small window into my life helped yours and reenergized your love to make great content on UA-cam. It’s a true joy to watch. God Bless R_Riley Hope you give a like Levy
Inspiring story. I wouldn't attribute it as much to God as to your personal strength and willpower to push through those challenges. Give yourself some credit
It is just disgusting how you beg for his attention. Leave this man alone, if he really has a burn-out, is depressed or whatever.. sentences like "hope you give a like" are only putting more pressure on him.
15:45 the expression is the significance of this game "CAN NOT BE OVERSTATED" It means it is so significant that you cannot possibly overstate how significant it is. Cannot be "understated" is the opposite of what you mean.
I'm more than happy with just one Gotham video every day to watch during a meal. This (second) video today is a massive treat to watch before I sleep. Thank you Levy!
Imagine being 25, dedicating and sacrificing a lot of time and opportunities just to be thrashed by a twelve year old. Guess it says more about the ability of Magnus 😆
VIDEO IDEA: Required props; lab coat, safety goggles, Bunsen burner, & science beakers for good measure. Set up a middle game position or some study from a book and leave it on the screen for 3 mins (asking viewers to pause is usually fine, but not for this) while reading off of Wikipedia a detailed explanation of what rocket science is, then it's experiment time, goggles on, show is the moves using science words to describe the position, then answer once and for all "is chess rocket science?" this could also serve as a pilot episode for levy's new chess science series
I really enjoy your videos. You made a comment about how Magnus doesn't play certain openings or styles anymore, and I think that would be an interesting topic for a video. Maybe a timeline of chess, looking at what sort of styles and openings are popular for say a given year or decade. I think it would be quite interesting to see how these things evolve, and what's currently fashionable. Anyway, I only say this in response to you asking for suggestions, I have complete faith in your ability to continue creating fun and interesting content.
Gotham, may u explain one day the Blumenfeld Countergambit? I am really interested with it and I hope that u may make a video on it. I found this countergambit very strong when my opponent plays it against me.
Wow I just finished a chess article I was reading (about how NOT to tilt) and got this notification! Perfect timing! (Also how do you upload so many videos?)
When you mentioned Jan Gustafsson I smiled b/c he's the first (and only so far) grandmaster I've ever beaten. We've played twice in 15 min on chess24, and the second time, he made a surprising series of mistakes in a very short span of moves. I didn't realize some of them were mistakes until after the game, but the last of these mistakes I knew was bad right away, and I knew I was winning. After a nice tactical sequence, I had an easily winning endgame (+6 on the engine iirc), and he resigned on move 40 after another tactical line where I was winning his remaining pieces to get king and bishop vs king with three pawns each in a position where I was going to grab another of his pawns and queen shortly after. It felt good 👍
David Howell's Immortal would be very interesting too. I learned of him by watching the Meltwater champions chess tour and i think he is a very exciting player. So if you are planning to make an immortal game video and dont know which player you should pick yet then this is maybe a good choice :)
15:07, it's 'epaulette mate', not 'a pawlets mate' or whatever you tried there 😅. Pronounced /ˈɛpəlɛt/ (stress on the e, pronounced as the E in Shrek and no 's' at the end). Epaulettes are ornamental shoulder pieces, somehow they resemble the rooks, I think. Sorry, couldn't resist. Great content as always, two vids today, you're spoiling us!
Random fact for those who don't know: Epaulettes are the emblems on the shoulders of a soldiers uniform, if you visualize that it makes it a lot of sense :)
When I was still watching "No.", Levy uploaded this... He makes extraordinary chess vids faster than I can watch them. What a great game and nice analysis!
I’m sorry, is this A SECOND UPLOAD?! Levy, I can’t BEGIN to describe my gratitude. But please take some time to focus on yourself. If you want to continue with these videos, I can’t stop you, but please find some time to take care of yourself.❤️❤️❤️

15:20 finally I can feel smarter than you about something! It’s not ‘Epaulette’s Mate’ it’s an Epaulette mate. Epaulettes are the flaps (often with a rank insignia) worn on the shoulders of a military uniform so the idea is that the king looks like he’s wearing Epaulettes on his shoulders like a General or other officer as he has a rook either side of his head (on his shoulders). Comes from the french Epaulle (shoulder)
I was visiting the Wijk aan Zee tournament when this game happened. I got to vote together with the rest of the audience on the briliancy price that day and of course I voted for this game. The vast majority of the audience voted likewise, but I remember some people voting for a win by Kramnik (I think) that I don't even remember.

He sacrificed two years of his life for this game. He didn't need his toddler years, as there were no chess games played during that time.

I'm confused, you say at 14:34 that queen e5 check is only winning move, but doesn't queen f6 just end in forced mate?
You are the shit, Levy! Keep rocking.
You made me think of this quote when you were talking about the King escape dance:
"If you're walking on ice, you might as well dance."
At 14:32 if whites rook takes g5 is it not the best Move as you capture 2 rooks and then have an insane advantage with the pawn on f7
At first that knight sac looked like a move by Carlus Magnasen
Love the Magnus effect joke in the description
Beautiful mate at the end, I think it's cool that black allowed Magnus (half his age) to have that moment, especially in a decisive game.
It seems like Magnus has had a fair few of these immortal games
Wow I was busy being born the year this game was played, that's crazy
