      Same, these weren’t too hard to guess when I knew there was something to look for (aside from castling, I was close though, moving the rook to f1 and eyeing the weak back rank). I think the trick is To treat every move as a chess puzzle. Of course, at that point time becomes an issue

      I'm pretty sure Karjakin knew it was a strong possibility. I don't know how he normally plays, but given this was the last game of the championship, I'm guessing he decided to risk losing to try and win. If Carlsen hadn't found that 1 move, Karjakin would've won it.

      @Qaztar44 4 роки тому +54

      Interesting Interesting Not sure why that makes you upset... all in all, these ARENT really Carlsen’s best moves. These are his most flashy and fun moves. All of them are unorthodox and are cool to look at. If you’re able to see the moves, congratulations, you’re able to solve 1200-ELO range puzzles. (also, on another note, I doubt you saw much beyond the first move, and couldn’t tell me exactly why the opponent couldn’t just do all of the moves that they eventually did to try and get out of the situation. Carlsen doesn’t just make a move because it looks good, he makes it because he sees all the possible moves for his opponent and knows that even if he plays perfectly, it’ll still work)

    I'm a beginner at chess, a 1200 player, and I found the last move. However...
    1. I knew there WAS a winning move, which Magnus did not.
    2. I was pretty sure Magnus was going to sacrifce his Queen since the move is regarded so clever.
    3. I was pretty sure Magnus was going to check.
    4. It still took me about 4 minutes to figure how I'd win after Qh6.
    5. If I was in this position myself in a real game I would never have found the move or even looked for it.
    What I learned is to imagine there is a brilliant move in any given position and spend some time looking for it.

      You should do some puzzles, it is very helpful to learn how to find winning moves. This move is more spectacular than difficult to spot, because it exploits a basic idea: deviate one of the King's defenders (the g7 pawn) to a case where he won't help in defence and even prevent the King to escape. I'm quite used to puzzles and saw the move very quickly - I didn't need to pause the video. I think I would even have seen it during a blitz.

    I saw several of these moves (but here we're in a situation where we know that a weird move wins the game so we consider moves that we would probably ignore in normal games - and also I came back recently to chess and train mostly with puzzles rather than games so I guess I develop my skills in that domain more than if I just played casual games).
    Qxa7 was a move I considered but I haven't found the whole idea behind it. It was definitely one of the most difficult ones to spot.
    I saw Ba6 almost immediately. I haven't taken the time to do all the calculations but I was pretty convinced that it was winning on the spot. However I'm not sure that I would have found Rc1.
    I saw immediately that Qh5 led to mate (but again, I don't know if I would have thought about this move in normal conditions - I don't search for mates at every move I make...).
    O-O was probably the most difficult move to spot (of course I thought about it when you gave a hint). I didn't find out how to exploit White's weaknesses.
    I analysed Qh6+ while Magnus' head was on screen and saw it led to mate. This is for sure the most beautiful move: a queen sac to deviate a simple pawn and nail Black's coffin with it.

    Those top 5 moves are really one more beautiful than the other, with a special exclamation mark for that incredible, astonishing kingside castle vs Karjakin; but the top 1 move is really the best in my opinion. Not only it's a Queen sacrifice, not only it's a fantastic mate in two which involves both the remaining white heavy pieces in a wonderful unique disposition over the board, but it's also really the unique winning move for white in that position. All other moves are losing, due to those two threatened mates by the black Queen.

    The last one has value for what was at stakes at that moment when a simple draw would have secured a title that seemed threatened only a few days before...
    The first one also is interesting as the weak back rank motive is exploited unusually.
    Other than that these are just flashy combinations really easy to find for any master or above. The inhuman strengh of magnus lies in his uncanny ability to always create problems to his opponents. Hence I find that some decisions he takes are more stunning than these flashy shots. They are ofc quite nice though

I´ve never seen something like that. The only man has ever played such creasy moves and destroyed his opponents was Morphy. There are many brilliant world champions, but they can not compare with Magnus, and Kasparov has had already a machine that was stronger as any human, he was a devastating attacker, Magnus is also a one, but Magnus has that brilliancy and genius touch.He saves the games out of nothing…..so many times saw Magnus in a lot worse, hopeless possitions and he turns it upside down.None was ever able to do so.

    Great video!
    But, I don't think that these are Carlsen's greatests moves.
    Carlsen has played some incredible engine moves over the course of his career (as he still does) that would require 10 minutes of analysis by Ginger for us to understand them. Moves like these should have been included but they weren't because of their nature.
    The nature of those moves is always positional and defensive - moves that people find boring (although I don't really believe that). Moves that there is no way for the opponent to understand or even think - moves like the ones computers make that weak chess players like ourselves find "stupid" or "dumb".
    It's these boring dumb defensive moves that earned Carlsen his title of the greatest of all times (which I totally agree with) and these moves should have been included but since these videos are mostly about moves that can shock you visually - Carlsen's greatest movies haven't been included.

    4. Didn't thought about it
    5. I spot it easily, but probably because it's the "Most brilliant chess moves". I saw it there is no hope on white side and also that king is in very dangerous spot, so i thought about that sacrifice. Still very impressive move, but that wasn't too hard to find (well... in comfortable spot behind computer of course)

  • @flywhiteguy2327
    @flywhiteguy2327 7 місяців тому

    I got all 5 of them correct. Although, one move he did, I would have first moved a rook to take the pawn, which was a waste of a turn, since it was checkmate anyway. The final move was probably my favorite, since I've also done it before. The enemy never considers the pawn to be a threat, but if it blocks off your only diagonal and I have a rook flanking, then it is as good as a bishop.

      Agreed. However, all the moves are easy to find if you are told in advance that there is a winning move and you take your time to find it. The forced mate in 2 in the 5th example is then quite straight-forward. What makes these moves impressive is that they have not just been discovered, they have been "invented". And in the case of the 5th example, it has been invented under time pressure in a world championship match.
