If i'm ever sitting in front of Magnus and he sacrificed his queen i'mma resign immediately acting like i understand how that move would win him the game.
Magnus:*plays a move that makes no sense at first glance* Opponent:hah I got your queen Magnus:hah I got the game,your house,your credit card and all your friends >:)
I really don't know how Carlsen's opponents don't flip over the board out of frustration. That last one would've had me sitting in that chair for hours questioning my life, my career, and piecing together how and why God hates me.
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. But on a side note, I feel that way after every game I play :D
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 found 3 of the 5, but I was only able to do that because I was anticipating some sort of crazy sacrifice each time. The fact that Magnus finds these mid game amazes me
Same. Also I think any experienced player would have found number 3 and number 5. Both were easy checkmates if you are looking for it. The first is just godlike though.
The first one was so very sick. After he played it, I still didn’t see what the point was. Then the light goes off and I realize that yeah, he is a God.
Queen:I am the most powerful and second important piece on the whole bo- Magnus:bla bla blabbity bla your getting killed within my first 10 moves so I can win
I missed the 4th one which was the castle. The rest I was able to see but that was tricky and even with all of them, I found myself calling the man a fucking genius after I noticed them too
Did you people just find the sacrifices.. or the logic behind the sacrifices and next moves to play too? I mean, funding sacrifices is pointless even if that's brilliant move if you don't know what to move next
"Magnus Carlsen's 5 most impressive moves that the majority of You, chess lover in an open and huge video platform, could understand and don't feel dumb".
Thiago Barbosa I'm one of those chess novices who watched this video and understood why those moves were impressive. But I'm also a fan computer chess, and even Stockfish 5 wouldn't have made those mistakes that Magnus capitalized on.
Thiago Barbosa it kind of makes me upset because i’m a novice player who started last week and i predicted all of these moves after pausing my video for about 10 seconds. i am still awful at chess, but these types of moves are pretty easy to predict. the hard ones are the more subtle ones that help with position
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 think the most difficult thing is to get the setup perfect to get to moves like these. Either way, it's incredible and i would never have thought of castling with the 1 move
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 figured out a bunch of these. The last one actually is quite easy to spot tbh. And the third as well. But the first one was probably the single greatest move I’ve ever seen, and I would never have seen it. The move would never have even crossed my mind.
do chess puzzles. helps you recognize combinations. i am new 600 ish and saw that one and two others in seconds or within a minute. i remember the puzzle exactly that came to mind seeing the last position. goes without saying though that getting to that move in a game is a different beast...
@@leadnitrate2194 no he didn't deny anything..also it was a bullet game..quite impossible to use engine in such a time format. In fact, Nigel short stressed that it most certainly was Fischer.
I found 4, the one which I couldn't find was the easiest, Castling one. But still, it was only possible because i knew there is gonna be some insane sacrifice
I actually spotted all of them after a little thinking apart from the king side castle which never entered my head!! I am only rated 1513 and blunder pieces all the time. It is a lot easier when you know you are looking for something that probably involves an unexpected sacrifice.
It was like those chess puzzles where you have to sacrifice the most important pieces to win. These are not subtle moves, these are kinda easily detectable fireball moves.
@2:36 not only did I see the move in seconds, I also recognised that he got this idea from Shirov in his win against Topalov with "the best chess move ever played".
3:56 i have a counter on that move Just sacrifice, sacrifice is the best thing to win Put bishop to f6 and if she move the other pawn Move the rock to c8 easy is that right
Begginer player here: 1. Never would thought about it. Brilliant! 2. Not too flashy, but quick math needed 3. Easy to spot, I thought about it in 5-10 seconds (weak king + knight controling his escape... Can I check him? Yes I can) 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)
To all of you who says you found the moves, I bet you'd never have found them if you didn't know in forehand there was a brilliant move. Carlsen is just the best of all time. GOAT!!
Noone can find these moves, before he played them, even the strongest GMs , he defeates the strongest players like father defeat his kid teaching him playing chess.And this in a decisive match for the world title against the second strongest player in that moment. 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. I am so glad that such a good man can play the strongest chess ever!
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.
I picked all the right moves as a 1400ish player but the key is that we are expecting a huge move with the concept of the video... finding these in a live game, nonetheless while blindfolded, is remarkable
I don't think so. Many can do it. They just know the board very well and have developed a very good "space awareness" in their mind for 64 squares. No doubt it takes a lot of practice, but it would be "re-markable" (to re-mark a higher bar than ever seen before), if only one player could do it. That ability does seem to be a "marker" between a good and great chess player, something they learn after they learn a lot of good moves. Sounds like you may be close. This is the first game I have played that I have not gotten pretty much wired in 6 months, (including games like Pool, Foosball and various card games, and even college studies). It is the first game I played, that takes too much of my productive time to get real good at. It may be a trap. I still want to get better. :)
I've always believed that the difference between a beginner and a (grand)master was mostly a mix of training, knowledge, and experience. I clearly have underestimated the power of qualities like boldness and imagination. For these games, I was not able to guess ANY of the final strategies used by Magnus, before they were presented by GM Williams. Not a one. In Star Trek terms, if Magnus Carlsen was a Q, then I would be.....a red shirt.
I think you take away from how good Magnus is by putting in 2 mates in 2. There are plenty of mates on the side of the board where you sack 1 or 2 pieces...
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.
The thing that most of us don't get is that sacrifices in Chess are underrated, think about them in this way: -You force your opponent to make the move, since in most of sacrifices, if your opponent doesn't accept it, you can still follow your attack. -Since this move is forced, you can guarantee you will proceed with your attack succesfully, and in most cases your opponent just won't see it coming. -Got to mention that sacrificing pieces in higher stakes matches are usually the only way to avoid a drawn position or one where the game ends up with 30+ moves.
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 found 3 of these immediately without blinking lol, and Im a 1400 :D I guess it's like puzzle rush! when you tell someone there is a good move here they find it! problem is playing it in a real game !
Like when I watch a video titled "amazing queen sacrifice" then the commentary asks you to find the winning move. 😂 But looking at every position reached during a game as if it was a tactical puzzle is not easy at all. Nothing, nothing, nothing x10, "OMG how did I miss that"
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.
I've evolved my losing streaks lately. Instead of letting better players check mate me in humiliating style i just knock my queen down in my first move say check mate and walk away. My losing streaks are better than ever now and i feel it's still improving.
the castle move was the trickiest one, I got all the rest but for that one tried Rf1 which had the same idea of exploiting the back rang but just isn’t good enough

This is the first game I have played that I have not gotten pretty much wired in 6 months, (including games like Pool, Foosball and various card games, and even college studies). It is the first game I played, that takes too much of my productive time to get real good at. It may be a trap. I still want to get better. :)
We love your commentary! So funny
AMAZING games. And fantastic, fun, commentary Simon. Hope to see more of you. Thank you.
Mikhail Tal: Hold my beer
Simon Williams is always entertaining and excellent at teaching chess.
Magnus is the greatest chess player ever.
no. Fisher!
Best but not greatest because the succeeders are always better than the predecessors
Kasparov
@Craig Yates How did you know that sir 😃
Craig Yates computer analysis also say Capablanca is the best player
Every time magnus about to get checkmate
MAgNUs: I'm gonna do what's called a Progamer Move!
I've always believed that the difference between a beginner and a (grand)master was mostly a mix of training, knowledge, and experience. I clearly have underestimated the power of qualities like boldness and imagination. For these games, I was not able to guess ANY of the final strategies used by Magnus, before they were presented by GM Williams. Not a one. In Star Trek terms, if Magnus Carlsen was a Q, then I would be.....a red shirt.
Magnus: *takes time to think for a move*
Le Queen, Ah my time has come
I think you take away from how good Magnus is by putting in 2 mates in 2. There are plenty of mates on the side of the board where you sack 1 or 2 pieces...
4:13 I was actually able to see Qh5. I feel proud now
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.
The thing that most of us don't get is that sacrifices in Chess are underrated, think about them in this way:
-You force your opponent to make the move, since in most of sacrifices, if your opponent doesn't accept it, you can still follow your attack.
-Since this move is forced, you can guarantee you will proceed with your attack succesfully, and in most cases your opponent just won't see it coming.
-Got to mention that sacrificing pieces in higher stakes matches are usually the only way to avoid a drawn position or one where the game ends up with 30+ moves.
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
That castle move was also nice. Couldn't see it. The other ones were obvious
"every blunder is a sacrfice if u have the right perspective of live" -IM rosen (the best guy ever)
You are here because at first you searched queen's gambit, and you are in a loop of cheeses videos, don't worry, me too 😂.
Damn the thumbnail is good you can look how good the queen sacrifice is just to lure the rook and checkmate the queen
Such beautiful moves by Carlsen❤️, shows y he is the best
last one is my fav, because of the concept ( it was world championship match)
Mikhail Tal's 5 most brilliant moves ???
Im horrible at the game, and somehow I found that first move
These were just simple tactics I wanna see a good deep move like 20 moves in depth wise
Watch mikhail tal videos. Very deep
Atul Sharma I’m talking about our world champion practically the best chess player in the world and we were shown moderately hard tactics
2:10 Grown up a little bit by now means road to World's Champion
I saw 4 out of the 5 moves so I thought I was chess genius. Then I hopped in a game and blundered my queen and lost, Chess is not for everyone
Chess is for everyone, you just need to invest some time in it.
I saw all of the moves that magnus played (1300 Fide)
I found 3 of these immediately without blinking lol, and Im a 1400 :D I guess it's like puzzle rush! when you tell someone there is a good move here they find it! problem is playing it in a real game !
exactly
Like when I watch a video titled "amazing queen sacrifice" then the commentary asks you to find the winning move. 😂 But looking at every position reached during a game as if it was a tactical puzzle is not easy at all. Nothing, nothing, nothing x10, "OMG how did I miss that"
I'm a 1600 and I found none lol
@@nahimaakter7156 I'm 1638 in rapid and 1588 in blitz. Grandmasters and engines make me feel like I'm 400 😂
The last one is Qh6+ im calling it
I GOT IT
hell yes Simon, hell yes mate!
Guessing Magnus move, easy
Getting to that position in the first place is the hard part
Finally someone is saying it
I found all of it does that mean i'm a grandmaster? 🤣
"fluffy little queens." -Simon Williams
"Am I a joke to you?" - Queens
We have all seen the last move from Agadmantor
Haha truth :D
I'm impressed with myself that I actually figured the last one lol.
Commentary is fine. This is Ginger GM, you babies can just click away.
Opponent after taking queen : I am one more move away from victory
Magnus Carlson with rocking rock : HOLD MY ROCK, ON YOUR LEFT...CHECKMATE
Wow, 12 Year old Magnus just wow.
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.
the best castling ever !!
I've evolved my losing streaks lately.
Instead of letting better players check mate me in humiliating style i just knock my queen down in my first move say check mate and walk away.
My losing streaks are better than ever now and i feel it's still improving.
2:03 his expressions was like mr bean
I was too lazy to calculate _thoroughly_ that each move would be the best, but I found all five solutions fairly positively 😁
I was just shocked after looking at 5th move.. It was OP af 🔥🔥
Magnus' chess is poetry
The move - Queen takes a7.
Waiting for a new version of this video featuring his game against Fedoseev.
the castle move was the trickiest one, I got all the rest but for that one tried Rf1 which had the same idea of exploiting the back rang but just isn’t good enough
I saw all five which is unheard of for me!
I got 2,3,4,5 I just looked for spots to sac pieces and checks
