Pin of shame. Shame! Shame.
Shaaaaammeee
@@jsdp sheep
SHAME!
When did levy start pinning the true comments?
I can tell magnus loves these stupid lines since he actually gets to play chess and avoid theory
Maybe the next Bobby Fischer...?
this line isn't stupid, its generational theory in development.
I was shocked to find out it wasn't him behind the Viih_Sou account in the first place. It's so much his kind of line.
he does this stuff more often
@@DarKnightRayleighno it’s stupid lmao it’s a gimmick to have fun in blitz
Finally Magnus has remembered his UA-cam password
"when the world needed him the most" ah statement, hey, atleast levy can milk magnus :) (content wise)
😂😂😂
Hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
Thats funny
@@_JeffJeff_ I would pay good money to see Levy milk Magnus' teats.
If Magnus does it, it's genius.
If I do it, it's immediately losing.
Fr 😭😭 I'd lose on an advantageous position lmao
I swear gotham's comment section is like that buzz lightyear meme with a crap ton of buzz lightyear toys all identical.
"Levy never fails to milk magnus"
Agreed
That's every UA-cam comment section at this point
always has been
I feel like when I enter the comment section of one of Levy’s videos I get some voice in my head that hisses “write: levy never fails to ____”…
I try to ignore it but sometimes it’s just too tempting 😭😭😭
5:32 "Some of you are cyborgs and NPCs"
damn it, my cover is blown
As an AI language model I resent this comment
Should have used the term cylons.
As I read this he says it lol
Npc comment
Hello how is your day?
Almost got a chance to say "THE ROOK" 11 times in a row.
Levy forgetting that Fischer lived until 2008 and very much did get to see the Internet for the last 20 years of his life
There are rumours some strong account on early chess sites was Fischer, never confirmed afaik.
@@jonweman6128 yes, and Kasparov too, probably blitz match Fisher-Kasparov or (with Tal) will be best blitz maches in history of chess .
Levy said that of course the Internet existed in 1971. That was actually not "of course". The Internet's precursor ARPANET was created in 1967, but a reasonable person could argue that it hadn't evolved into "the Internet" yet in 1971, being extremely limited and small.
@@ThueJanusKristensen Listen to him again 4:20, he said "obviously it didn't [exist in 1972]"
25
I think the fact that some of Magnus's opponents were so scared of being embarrassed by losing against a meme opening that they refused to take a free rook, is far more embarrassing than having actually taken the rook and still lost.
I once kept rematching against someone who was obviously tilted. I was playing nothing but gambits and beat him 4 or 5 times in a row. Our last game he didn't accept the gambit so I gave up a knight for free for the lols. He was too scared to take it.
@@TheTitanSlayersbro thinks he's magnus effect 💀
Even "smart" people are human, between ego and preconceived ideas they are unable to think outside of them selves.
Tbh, it's the most boring part of chess, learning lines and playing what is essential meta. I just love slapping bits into dumb spots then playing from there. It allows creativity not book written lines. It's a mold people are in. I think the next generation of chess could be unrecognisable.
@@maygorfungus9094 have you tried chess 960?
"And he sacrifices.... THE BOOKS!!!"
Levy, watching them burn the great library of alexandria
"A new troll opening? Let me make it worse and still win" - Magnus probably
Magnus is like the Risen Neo at the end of the first Matrix. He can do anything.
1. magnus carlsen
2. drunk magnus
3. late magnus
4. meme magnus
5. Botez magnus
As a low rating player, I always wondered what would happen if someone came up with some stupid opening no one had an answer to. This is what happens, and I love it. I imagine the opening will be analysed and countered to no end until it's just old news, but I'm loving the potential chaos.
There does not need to a lot of analysis. You are missing an endgame piece that helps secure a corner. Just take the center because the opponent is not doing it. Take the free rook because that is just good. Then develop pieces and push pawns down the flank of the board. You are actually so far behind from this opening. Normaly moves like a4 are still supported by a rook. That is not the case here. The only benefit of this opening is that you now have a bishop to fight on the dark/light squares and your opponent does not. That is also the purpose behind the Fianchetto'd bishop. You immediatly attack the spot where the opossed bishop can no longer defend.
Finally a Magnus video... I was getting worried
Why did you choose such a weird username? Have you got any intentions to question Islam?
@@CheckmateSurvivor no, it's my username for mobile games and has been this way for over 10 years. I have no political agenda anywhere.
@@CheckmateSurvivorislam is a cult anyways, what are you on?
@@CheckmateSurvivorwhat does it have to do with islam?

real, i sacraficed my social life when i started to play chess.
You didn’t even watch the video, stop
@@yerik6034POV: Every first comment on any video ever 🤓
@@yerik6034 Good puns are good puns, you can't put a fence around them.
I like that name "the banned gambit" has a nice ring to it
Fischer: would i do this? maybe
Kasparov: well i wouldn't
Magnus: little castle boi outside
Yay i'm famous, this has never happened to me before.
I think fisher would like the idea of people getting out of theory!
Fischer would definitely do it
@@eddietime1811But getting out of theory and playing with a handicap are two different things.
@terrarossa879this one time at chess camp I stuck a bishop in my asshole!
-Bobby Fisher
@@eddietime1811this.
“You learn openings when magnus plays them” 😂
Over the years Magnus got over the GM title and is now a TM. The first and only troll master
Putting people in weird positions they're not used to is valuable in blitz, I would expect it to be useless basically everywhere else.
Levy definitely was going to say "this opening isnt the second coming of christ" and then rethought it hahaha
Yes, was looking for this comment. Thought the same
he mightve been about to quote fischer saying chess 960 wasnt the best thing since puffed weed
Your hot.
Magnus found the Handicap Gambit he has always wanted.
To me this just shows how much memorization is involved in high level chess, especially blitz. If you change it up from the normal themes players can't figure it out with short time advantage or no advantage.
@10:21 Levy definitely was going to say "this opening isnt the second coming of christ" and then rethought it hahaha
😂😂
I think one of the funniest things about this is that some people have reached the idea that playing this way is actually good somehow. Honestly, sacking the exchange isn't that terrible, but there are other issues like the rim knight and not having center pawns. You can see Magnus looking for improvements in these games and there just aren't any, it's bad.
@@h0wnr681I feel like bxa3 and Bb2 and Nc3 could work, obviously in classical it's still bad, but in blitz material matters less than having an attack.
Plus at my level I never get that rook active anyway, neither do my opponents, giving a rook that wouldn't do anything anyway for a bishop that was activated move 1 isn't terrible
@@psymar That’s a fair point but i’ll stick to my Evan’s gambit lol. But i think what makes the rook sac worse is that you don’t get immediate counter play so you just have to wait for your opponent to make a stupid move and punish it. Sounds a lot easier than actually doing it
6:57 okay Levy, why didn't YOU enter meme mode and sing 'ROOK B1 ROOK B1 MAKE A MOVE THAT MAKES NOOO SENSE'
FRR
im sayingggggggggggg:(
that’s a titled player he didn’t want to insult😬 whereas he can freely insult us when we send him our games
7:02 ROOK B1 ROOK B1
make a move that makes no sense. That move literally is crazy. Why on earth would you play that? At least castle you king. What the heck is this move? What are you trying to accomplish? I have no idea!
Let this be a lesson to all of you
Why didn't gotham pin this one? Its even more stupid than the current pin of shame
@@Asolariot Because it's not a hate comment lmao
@@Asolariotthis is literally a quote from Levy that applies in this situation and a meme. He has no reason to pin of shame this.
I presume he wanted to push.. b4? I can't say for sure. Maybe it also was just a waiting move slightly improving the position.. wich would be crazy because as you said the king is not yet castled.. So there is plenty to do if he just wants to wait.
That's insane. He's too good, especially in endgames where he unleashes additional 100 elo. He sets up a dead lost position against Kacper Piorun (among the best Polish players players) and still beats him.
I agree
wise words
That's offensive
that's racist
fr
His first game was just the Banned Gambit Declined
Magnus never fails to adopt levy.
Fail never magnuses to levy adopt.
BAN MAGNUS! HE'S CHEATING! - Kramnik probably
And that’s the advantage of the Niemann gambit. If you accuse of people of cheating, you probably aren’t.
😂 why you so mad at kramnik idiot?
Kramnik accuse noname GM/IM/FMs of cheating, because they are nonames and suddenly start play like a beasts.... but only online. Dont know about jospem, jospem play rarely otb and he have relative high elo for so small number of games. Anyway we will see him vs kramnik OTB soon, but see at Galchenko. He is not even GM and he is 2400 FIDE blitz. See his OTB games and compare it to his perfomance online 😂 where he became monster 😂. Jacobsen is also 2500 noname gm and people believe he memorized this rook gambit so well, that he able to rekt narodisky like a noob 😂😂😂😂😂. And internet now full of this galchenko and jacobsen "prodigies".
Just fore reference, Carlsen invaded OTB scene in 2009 and started rekt everyone immediately. It was too obvious how much prodigy he was.
16:50 Levy's having mix emotions and reactions until the game ends 😂
"Ohhh, ohhh,, he blunders everything noooo"
10:38 I looked away for a minute and it looked like he had the chess board sideways 🤣
The Kings are social distancing
Magnus really said a bishop is just a diagonal rook
Banned Gambit : GOAT Variation
This isnt a gambit it's a hustle.
It's the chess equivalent of giving your opponent 3 balls off the table after the break in a game of pool. You're getting shit out of the way to clean up your shots.
So its a gambit😅
*I think the most fascinating thing about Magnus is his mindset. Most Super GMs would never meme, they hate losing rating points.*
Magnus just goes "fk it chess is supposed to be fun"
And honestly, that extra ingredient of fun and making it work, might just be the extra edge he has over other top 10 players.
They're so structured, that when he takes things off the rails, they just fall apart. He wrestles them out of their comfort zone into unknown territory and slowly wins the war of attrition.
But he refuses to play against AI
@@KaitouKaiju To what end would he play against AI?
@KaitouKaiju what do you mean?
@urkoma I could never forget such a thing 🤣
He already proved himself, he doesn't even care about being the world champion because no one is strong enough to actually beat him anyway, he just want to have fun these days.
I really admire Magnus for doing this and demonstrating that the ban was unwarranted.
If anything, this proves it was warranted. If the goat lost a game playing it, what are the odds of 70 wins?
@@sarahfisher5719Brandon didn't win 70 games.. It was 40-29 vs Danya...
@@sarahfisher5719 Even Magnus can lose a lost position with perfect play. One of the shocks of my chess career was learning that winning the exchange in the early opening created a hard technical conversion with limited time on the clock. I think that Magnus doing this is his way of illustrating this point.
Congrats to the one GM who was able to punish him for that opening
What’s funny is he’s young so he’s probably on the internet and saw the meme. The other ones are dinosaurs so they didn’t know what was going on
@@masterflamewing234lmaooo
@@masterflamewing234 Almost 100% the case.
He's like "Come on, guys. Entertain me" and still winning. crazy
When Gotham finally becomes a GM then he can start playing these types of gambit
"Sucks to suck, sound like a skill issue to me." 😂
Finally magnus stuff
glad to see levy is back on the track
Fischer actually did play some online games in his later years, he also played troll openings like Magnus
Unless you're talking about something besides the ICC mystery account, it isn't even close to proven and not very likely.
Are those games recorded anywhere?
@Gameboygenius It's almost certain that it wasn't Fischer. The games are very interesting though. Agadmator covered one. If you want to find them look up Nigel Short vs Fischer.
Thank you for covering Magnus and highlighting his genius and gamesmanship. I just had a thought you might find interesting. I thought, "how awesome would it have been if Levy and UA-cam were around during the "60's and we had a chronological video record of Fischer, and Fischer's rise to number one!" The story lines are fascinating!
Levy never fails to mention Magnus' favorite phase of the game
gotham has milked the former world chess champion so hard he's just skin and bones now, magnus probably still stuck in his basement for the next milking
😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅
i wish i was magnus
Magnus is to GothamChess what Horse Shoe Crabs are to the pharmaceutical industry

Wait, are we not going to talk about Gotham say "im kidding. Oviously the internet existed in 1976?" 😂😂
Blundering a rook and then going into the London sounds like Andrea Botez 101
I always tell myself I'm just going to watch the beginning of a Levy recap video and here I always am 30 minutes later
Leonardo Rosmanini never fails to include Levy in his videos
🍑🍆🍑🍆🍑🍆🍑🍆🍑🍆
Lol
The most fascinating thing about this whole saga is that it’s fighting SO DIRECTLY against Fischer’s reason for giving up chess.
levy is now back in 2022 wearing a tank top and mikling magnus as usual
Honestly, I bet Magnus had a ton of fun with this. It throws the book out and says "just play chess"
Levy-you know the rest
I think Kramnkik's mind would implode if he saw this opening
4:07 Internet actually DID exist in 1972. The first connection between networks was in 1969. Technically though, the first true example of modern day internet wasn’t until the 80’s. I just felt like being a dick about it.
In fairness though Levi got this correct even if he was joking.
the internet was not available to the public until early 90s
Which fischer died in 2008
it was arpanet
Levy never fails to milk Magnus for content
Looks like Levi sacrificed his shirt again
@4:12s "the internet didn't exist back in 1972 did it? I'm just kidding of course it did."

Was looking for this comment 😂
Don't worry, you can fap in May
trying to show his fat body. i would literally smoke him in a fight or a chess
Showcasing his huge muscles 😢😂
This is beautiful from regular online tournaments, meme openings can evolve instead of being frowned upon.
When you think about it, Jacobson has already won. No matter where the drama goes or if the opening turns out to be trash, there will forever after be a listing in opening databases for "The Jacobson Gambit". That's something even world champions aren't guaranteed to achieve.
It wasn't even Jacobsen who started using it, but his friend. :)
The Andy-Brandy. It was not Jacobson who first thought about it. It was Andrew Hong
They aren’t necessarily named after the first person to play the opening, but usually whoever makes it famous.
To be fair, this is exactly the kind of chess Fischer would play. He even invented a new kind of chess.
The Internet didn't exist in '72
wow, Magnus remembered how the knight moves
looks like magnus was bored last tuesday.
old lion, sparring with cubs, and some teens
There is no way he haven't tested those crazy openings on chess engines
Levy goes gym 💪

Hey Levy, first year of college done and I'm getting back into your courses I got last year as a summer goal (trying to hit 1800 from 1620 by the end of 2024). Thank you for your consistent content and all the work you put into those courses.
Maybe this opening isn’t so bad
No this opening is for sure trash lmao. The only advantage you get is confusing your opponents by playing a line they haven't seen since they were literal children. Magnus is just built different so he gets away with it
@@haro960 what if the corner rook has less relative value than a bishop since it takes so long to get into the game

10:35 bro didn't even mention the en passant
The fact that Levy thought Magnus missed a fork 😂!
Levy never fails to milk magnus out of Magnus
Internet was invented in 1983 with TCP so they didn't have that in the 70s.
Gotham first says Magnus is playing a bad opening. Then he complains that Magnus is not playing the bad opening the right way.
These guys are so scared of Magnus they won’t even take a free rook
More banned than Hans from St. louis?
Not always a fan of the eccentric Gotham, but this is actually the best video on this topic i've seen and I've seen a few. Great job Levy!
I've used this opening before but from the opposite flank with h4 Rh3. It's funny these opening is getting recognition
14:23 is a tripple fork Nb6😱 how can magnus and gotham miss this? 😂 it is beyond me
Cus qc6 then u lose knight
Didn't miss it.
Just didn't care
@@shinchangotmad7287 thats a queen trade and whites up the rook by the looks of it but the bishop takes the pony and its still just a draw with no material and oppersite bishops. you'd just end up shuffling at the end.
@@heartshapedfilmsthe move after Bd5 Nb6 Qc6 is Nxd5, then if QxQ NxQ and the knight is safe, and if QxN... nevermind I got nothing
I like how you say Magnus is not playing the "right" or "meta" way...the way Magnus plays it IS the meta way. As you said early in the vid you learn how to play the opening when Magnus plays it
The internet didn’t exist in the seventies
Pin of shame!!
Pin of shame!!!
shut up
Wrong
not true dawg
I like this part (8:47) because it shows how Magnus's gang is high 😎😎😎😎, specifically when he said the "He (the opponent) put a pawn to block his bishop,...." while he simple could trade a bishop with a rook🤣🤣 🤣🤣
Magnus: okay, then i will beat you with normal way
-levy rozman
It's a rook bongcloud.. and a rook sac.. now THAT is the ultimate meme opening
can we get a stockfish v stockfish game where you get them to play this opening
Calling it the Banned Gambit is an exceptional name

Day 73,726,926,016,639 of waiting until Gotham does not upload a video that has Magnus
Edit: guys CHILL it's a literal joke
Only possible in his next life 😂
Nigga fuck deez nuts hood prank😂😂😂
Yesterdays video ?
yesterday's video literally does not have magnus
I think you are lying because you have to be like 1000+ years old if it's your day 73726926016639 of waiting and Gothams channel is 3 years old you should be ashamed for lying imagine what your parent would feel if they knew you are lying in the internet
Magnus is fast at adapting to different scenarios as is shown in "Magnus: How to capture a rook with two horses and win the game"
That guy is beautiful.
He did not live up to his opponents expectations.
16:05 i thought my baby just woke up from his nap
Ah yes, typical Magnus Magnusing everyone else
