If both play a weird opening, Magnus will win. If Magnus plays a normal opening, and his opponent plays a weird opening, Magnus will win. However, if Magnus plays a weird opening, and his opponent is a grandmaster who plays a normal opening… well, I guess Magnus will still win.
0:12 / 0:33 The king going for a walk opening, truly a classic played by Magnus, the smell of fresh air gave the white king some moral advantage while the black king is suffocating in the Basement.
I don't know about other places in America but in Texas we always play chess online with bros watching, strippers on the way and the plug on speed dial. Never even knew you could do anything else on a Thursday until last week but that's a different story...
@squanchy squanch for sure, since i made the post i found when i want to play a 'real' game i do rapid 10 minute, and if im like waiting on friends or something thats when i do bullet/3minute/5minute but yea, i definitely noticed 10 minute is my sweet spot haha. I almost hit 800 today in rapid but lost a couple, so sitting around 775. Blitz/Bullet are around 550 or so?
@ctrain beats play longer games so you have more time to think about your moves. 10/15 rapid, 10 rapid or 30 rapid. Blitz is fun (and I don’t touch bullet lol) but pretty crap for your development as a chess player. And play puzzles when you can. Once you are more familiar with solid moves/countering what your opponent is doing it’ll become second nature and that’s when you can start to become proficient in the speedy games. My blitz rating is crap compared to my rapid/daily rating though (blitz 500 ish, rapid floating around 1000-1100), as I’m pretty bad with time management and blunders in the quick games.
This is like playing a football game and immediately deliberately scoring 3 own goals in a row and then before the next kick off walking over to the other team and saying, "now let's play."
@garmatey Also, he said 3 yellows, that would be a maximum of 1 player sent off, though the way he said it I think he meant 3 different players on yellows, so no one would be sent off
@garmateyNot really, seen matches where it's happened, it's an advantage for sure, since they can't really attack anymore, but it's actually sometimes harder to win because of that. If they're down they have to attack so there's more space and the loss of men leaves huge openings, but if it's a nil nil game when that happens, decent chance it just ends that way
@Oliver True, one wouldn't necessarily be, but given that it was actually about four and he was giving up a 6 move tempo advantage before actually playing it's pretty ridiculous If that was two 2700s was playing the other wins that game 90+% of the time, short time control or no That's about the odds of winning a football match 3 up 2-0 would be around 70% so even that feels too low for me
4 maybe 2 pawns are still out. plus stalling is wayyy underrated, especially in a blitz - cover your pieces while you stall unpredictably and your opponent will likely make a mistake you can capitalize on
@Jon Bayuga No shit sherlock. Blitz is a completely different game to classical and he’s playing blitz, so there’s no need to bring up classical context in a blitz game.
This is what happens when you study openings, middle game, and end game... And you become a GM... And you neglected drilling puzzles, which will help immensely in situations like this.
This is not all that unusual. Typically when someone has become undisputed #1 in something and in a casual setting, they give themself some sort of disadvantage to keep engaged with the game rather than doing what is conventional and allowing their mind/skills to rust. Of course in a serious tournament setting they only do this rarely as it's disrespectful to the opponent in that setting.
@Sommy Nriama no the video says that creator thinks it was probably somebody else using an engine, even though in this video kzclip.org/video/E1YkxPohB_I/бейне.html he talks about how it was early days way back in 2001 and nigel quizzed his opponent and felt 99% positive it was in fact fischer.. nigel was destroyed 8 out of 8. and regardless, it makes absolutely no difference who the person in that video was or whether they used an engine or not because my point is that magnus was _certainly_ aware of the 8 game series between "fischer" and nigel short, and he did not "improvise" anything, he 100% used the same opening that "fischer" used in game 2, with the only difference being that "fischer" was playing with white, and then the rest of the game magnus just did what magnus just does, because well, hes magnus. to ever claim that he wasnt previously aware of those games or that opening, or that he somehow "improvised" it and just so happened to match it _exactly_ is to point to ones own ridiculously high degree of ignorance and gullibility. and anybody with such a childlike willingness to believe absolutely anything they see online, really needs to get ahold of me soon because i have a few bridges for sale in brooklyn and i would hate for them to miss out on such an amazing opportunity.
@Mike Rafone the video literally said it was a Bobby Fischer imposter using an engine to bear his opponent. The difference is that Magnus didn't use an engine. That makes it even more impressive because he had to improvise.
Well he didn't do so much fighting. Mostly just doing a little pep-talk with the king and queen pawns. They were out of line you see. And then he literally said "you're in my spot" to his fair lady in court.
@Luminous Dragon There is a difference between bravery and stupidity, and it solely lies in the success. If a king were to go out in the middle of the fight and get instantly killed, your opinion of his actions would be on contrary.
@David Mikan And you probably don't twist and turn in bed before a live stream... While it might be difficult to get quality sleep before a professional tournament...
Tbh probably because at home he chooses when he's in the mood to go live to thousands but at a tournament he always has to be there and is there as an athlete
His defense is so natural and automatic it's like he knows which piece does the best activity he hardly even calculates. My theory I guess he's been through so many different attacking schemes he already knows how to defend naturally
@ExecutionSommaire Yeah, some people are just built different KEKW. They have superb pattern matching. Best place to start learning the patterns for most is just learn book and try remembering common lines for your meta ranking.
@Mizurei Miho Yeah but also those guys can literally play chess in there heads, so they can calculate pretty easily. As a beginner I can't visualize complicated variations to a decent enough depth. Would need pen/paper and it would take ages.
@jchud13 The simplest principles are to develop your pieces (put them on good squares), control the center, keep your king safe. Then it's a combination of tactics (finding a concrete series of moves that wins material/ gives checkmate/ etc), and strategical play (making long-term decisions that improve your position).
@jchud13 Positional Play and Spacial Reasoning Own more spaces and options that threaten a victory or put you in a more advantageous state then your opponent in fewer moves. Even at the highest level, that's all chess is, and it is that simple, it's just, unironically speaking, people at higher levels see the patterns much quicker and earlier on than most people.
Okay let me ask, what is the point of chess. I obviously know its a very deep game and beyond like killing the enemy king and getting more of your opponents pieces then losing your own what is the general goal? Position yourself out of danger always unless a trade is necessary? Position your defenses until you can go for an attack? Like I like chess but high level I just cannot follow it
I ran the game through an engine and black had a 3.8 point advantage by move 9 but it went down to 1.5 (but magnus missed the move so it stayed around 3.0) on move 12. Black had a huge advantage from there all the way until move 30 when they traded rooks and the position became dead equal
Theory didn’t ruin chess it provides a presupposition. Theories come and go based on the challenges to it. Magnus is challenging the current theory which will allow for another theory to take its place.
You've got to be shitting me I am legally drunk and even I can remember deep blue exists, which was basically hard-coded to win every match That AI already exists
0:21 It's probably just lag or planning time but I like to imagine that extra second's hesitation was Demidov looking at that last move like "...what is happening...?"
Meanwhile his opponents are sweating and using every braincell to comprehend and predict but his piece go jingle and he wins Magnus is so confident he sends his king out first. I'd probably fall at his heels at the start seeing that
I truly believe Magnus plays these weird openings and positions to get in his opponents head, and see if he can play out positions that really aren’t possible in regular play
magnus be like: "I want to play the black pieces but my opponent got it, so I switched them in-game", but he still won despite wasting 6 moves in the early stages
This move is Theoden who inspire his troops at Minas Tirith while Eowyn is trying to hide from him. I can hear the horn, and I can hear it breaking. I can feel the rohirrim's fury flow in theirs blood. Truely a good representation of Minas Tirith battle Magnus. They lost, but don't worry, Aragorn will arrive !
Мишаня Демидов замечательный человек и сильный гроссмейстер. Приятно, что я когда-то имел опыт пообщаться с ним лично, на турнире в Паланге. И до сих пор имею возможность заниматься с тем же тренером, что и он, в надежде добраться до того же уровня;)
Anyone know why Magnus didn’t take the pawn on D3? Second question: when Magnus could’ve promoted and potentially taken a rook, why did he wait? Was there a checkmate there without his queen on that file? Also was queen h4 check, take rook, then promote a bad move?
Me thinking I’m good cause I saw a mate in 2 using the queen and knight that magnus didn’t use Then realizing he started the games with memes and wanted to end it with memes as well… damn
He’s talking to friends, watching a soccer game (based on the fact that he yelled “Sadio you make that goal” I assume a Liverpool or Bayern Munich game) and then he has the audacity to play an opening like that and win.
Magnus Carlsen Stream today 21 february 2023 - kzclip.org/video/HoLxOel5Kl0/бейне.html
What an opening! The king gave a speech first to inspire his pieces

“Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
@AnimeUp 🤣🤣
he believes in his subjects
HAHAHAHHHQHAAHABAHAH🤣🤣🤣🤣🤩😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If both play a weird opening, Magnus will win. If Magnus plays a normal opening, and his opponent plays a weird opening, Magnus will win. However, if Magnus plays a weird opening, and his opponent is a grandmaster who plays a normal opening… well, I guess Magnus will still win.
@macleadg oh ok, I didn't know😏
@Kesner MORISSET Its a joke
How is that even possible
@Spencer Smith A lot more normal than moving the king 5 times in the opening.
Gm: *studies theories and game tactics all year around*
Magnus: "haha my pieces go jingle"
GM : Eye of the tiger
Magnus : Jingle bells Jingle bells
Gm studied the jingle oppening
😐
@imGrisky oh really?😂 Wow, i think you should beat him 😂
Magnus does plenty of prep and studying lines and practicing tactics too.
This is actually the chess equivalent of a guy jumping around while you try to shoot him and then he kills you with a knife
This happens to me all the time in CS:GO
@octomancer DOOR STUCK
aye yes, me playing Rust
"This is called the bunny hop opening"
Grandmasters, the select elite of highest ranking chess geniuses in the world. Known to Magnus as "decent players".
@ReEvølutiøn Games you
Indeed. I love watching over the subconscious things too
@ReEvølutiøn Games oh but when i do that as a 450 it’s a “blunder”
@Tracy Grimshaw yro'ue*
what about international grand master warlord supremes?
This is the chess equivalent of repeatedly hitting the crouch button while standing over the other guy's face
While he’s still alive
Sooo it’s toxic?
LOL
@GayFrickinFrog He probably just didn’t know the obscure term?
@djd829 yeah
The moment Magnus had to concentrate the most was when he had to think of a different way to rearrange the king and the queen.

@Cheese Cake we never heard of him since then.
@green of tree black of blue 😂😂😂
It's always funny to watch Magnus playing with his goons behind him. The man is like the Vito Corleone of chess.
Magnus "The Magnate" Carlson, the biggest chess Don in the world. You gotta get in his good graces in order to get anywhere good in the end.
I don't know about other places in America but in Texas we always play chess online with bros watching, strippers on the way and the plug on speed dial. Never even knew you could do anything else on a Thursday until last week but that's a different story...
@The True Mr. Pink As a Floridian, we ABSOLUTELY do this
Respect to the GM Demidov Mikhail who had the balls to play b5 against Magnus
@squanchy squanch for sure, since i made the post i found when i want to play a 'real' game i do rapid 10 minute, and if im like waiting on friends or something thats when i do bullet/3minute/5minute but yea, i definitely noticed 10 minute is my sweet spot haha. I almost hit 800 today in rapid but lost a couple, so sitting around 775. Blitz/Bullet are around 550 or so?
@ctrain beats play longer games so you have more time to think about your moves. 10/15 rapid, 10 rapid or 30 rapid. Blitz is fun (and I don’t touch bullet lol) but pretty crap for your development as a chess player. And play puzzles when you can. Once you are more familiar with solid moves/countering what your opponent is doing it’ll become second nature and that’s when you can start to become proficient in the speedy games. My blitz rating is crap compared to my rapid/daily rating though (blitz 500 ish, rapid floating around 1000-1100), as I’m pretty bad with time management and blunders in the quick games.
@Roberto Villagran after a few months I’m up to 550-650 in daily/bullet and 450-500ish in rapid / blitz. Slowly but surely lol
@Kyler Voie horsie go brrrr?
@Kyler Voie I genuinely think 1200 could understand and imagine moves
This is like playing a football game and immediately deliberately scoring 3 own goals in a row and then before the next kick off walking over to the other team and saying, "now let's play."
@garmatey Also, he said 3 yellows, that would be a maximum of 1 player sent off, though the way he said it I think he meant 3 different players on yellows, so no one would be sent off

If they're down they have to attack so there's more space and the loss of men leaves huge openings, but if it's a nil nil game when that happens, decent chance it just ends that way
@Michelangeloyou don’t think being up 3 players is a winning position?
@Oliver True, one wouldn't necessarily be, but given that it was actually about four and he was giving up a 6 move tempo advantage before actually playing it's pretty ridiculous
If that was two 2700s was playing the other wins that game 90+% of the time, short time control or no
That's about the odds of winning a football match 3 up
2-0 would be around 70% so even that feels too low for me
@Michelangelo it's definitely a winning position in classical chess, maybe even rapid.
Definitely not in 3 minute blitz, though.
If you don’t know what you’re doing, your enemy won’t know what you’re doing ☝️

@Rydekk - What a way to keep your dream of Magnus losing alive!
@YearOfTheBows24 Little r/whoooosh there
He is human
@Your Conscience there were 3 different mates
GM Demidov had to re-evaluate his entire life after this game
@Sommy Nriama atleast not with this opening....
@Jon Bayuga As if Magnus doesn't also smoke them in classical chess.
@Jon Bayuga No shit sherlock. Blitz is a completely different game to classical and he’s playing blitz, so there’s no need to bring up classical context in a blitz game.
This is what happens when you study openings, middle game, and end game... And you become a GM... And you neglected drilling puzzles, which will help immensely in situations like this.
@Jon Bayuga GM Demidov stopped re-evaluating his life after your comment
The Braveheart opener. The king circled around to rally the troops.
Also known as “The Rohan Opener”
In that movie they also show something to the enemy.
The greatest Chess player of all time is a meme-lord. Truly bewildering times we are living in.
This is not all that unusual.

Magnus finally got his own opening
(He got offended from the Botez sisters that they have an own opening and he has not)
@MIMICUS TV they actually have 3 each, so 6.
@Sommy Nriama no the video says that creator thinks it was probably somebody else using an engine, even though in this video kzclip.org/video/E1YkxPohB_I/бейне.html he talks about how it was early days way back in 2001 and nigel quizzed his opponent and felt 99% positive it was in fact fischer.. nigel was destroyed 8 out of 8. and regardless, it makes absolutely no difference who the person in that video was or whether they used an engine or not because my point is that magnus was _certainly_ aware of the 8 game series between "fischer" and nigel short, and he did not "improvise" anything, he 100% used the same opening that "fischer" used in game 2, with the only difference being that "fischer" was playing with white, and then the rest of the game magnus just did what magnus just does, because well, hes magnus. to ever claim that he wasnt previously aware of those games or that opening, or that he somehow "improvised" it and just so happened to match it _exactly_ is to point to ones own ridiculously high degree of ignorance and gullibility. and anybody with such a childlike willingness to believe absolutely anything they see online, really needs to get ahold of me soon because i have a few bridges for sale in brooklyn and i would hate for them to miss out on such an amazing opportunity.

Its a sight to behold when the king comes out early to fight its own battles
Well he didn't do so much fighting. Mostly just doing a little pep-talk with the king and queen pawns. They were out of line you see. And then he literally said "you're in my spot" to his fair lady in court.

"Theory ruined chess" "You can't be creative and win anymore" "Chess is 'solved' and dead"
Magnus:
Theory didn’t ruin chess it provides a presupposition. Theories come and go based on the challenges to it. Magnus is challenging the current theory which will allow for another theory to take its place.
If pawns could move backwards, he almost certainly would have put them back in the original position after that shuffle.
Underrated comment😂
"He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready"
He opens his mouth but the words won't come out
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
To drop bombs but he keeps on forgetting
@Mishka B well that could only mean that I keep forgetting what I wrote down
@Just aBoy Dawg its arms are heavy
And somewhere there is a computer programmer building a next level AI by using Magnus's games...
You've got to be shitting me
I am legally drunk and even I can remember deep blue exists, which was basically hard-coded to win every match
That AI already exists
@kurages Well I can run a chess computer on my machine that would beat Magnus! Not as impressive when I think about it..
@Mer mer *GMs
@Peter Sedesse Gms
@kurages of course it would. Magnus is playing it and still beating IMs.
0:21 It's probably just lag or planning time but I like to imagine that extra second's hesitation was Demidov looking at that last move like "...what is happening...?"
3:10 "Hopefully he might be getting little nervous, even if on the surface, he looks calm and ready"
Ladies and gentlemen, the Eminem of chess
That's quite literally not what he said
He basically gave his opponent 6 moves worth of tempo and still managed to win
Tutorials: It is important to get your king out of the middle of the board to keep him safe
Magnus: K I N G A C T I V A T I O N
To this player, it was the moment his life had been waiting for , to Magnus it was just another Monday chilling with the goons at 3.35 pm
This is the 360 no scope of chess openings
That opening is the first opening my friend used against me and the fact that we’re both new to chess so we thought that is a good thing to do lol
ur friend saw this vid
You guys think like grandmasters
This opening is what Magnus himself considers to be the TRUE Bongcloud.
I never watched Magnus play chess a lot but these streams seem soo relaxed and enjoying.
Wait I just found out… Magnus is GM too??? Wow, him being the best player in the World, I really thought he would have reached Challenger by now…
@Andromeda lol
Ahahhahaha
I am just a quarter master
Rip I’m stuck at master
Shut up, please shut up, I don't want League jokes here 😭
Them judging him for not resigning after he just shuffles his pieces at the beginning is hilarious
It’s always funny to see magnus play, it always seems so effortless, he’s just having fun and kidding around
Meanwhile his opponents are sweating and using every braincell to comprehend and predict but his piece go jingle and he wins
Magnus is so confident he sends his king out first. I'd probably fall at his heels at the start seeing that
Magnus: C3
Magnus at the same time: We threatened the mate! It's very hard to protect. A little tactic - now you resign, boy!
I wonder how it feels to be so freaking good at something that you can even humiliate some of the best of the world being playful.
No idea what's happening but glad they're having a good time
Bruh, he just made his king give a speech while his enemies are advancing to the castles. Talk about the chad confidence of a world champion. 😂
I truly believe Magnus plays these weird openings and positions to get in his opponents head, and see if he can play out positions that really aren’t possible in regular play
Magnus won, I believe his opponent resigned as Magnus had checkmate on the next move. Either that or his opponent lost on time.
Im relatively new in chess, did he lose in the end?
3:12 he's getting nervous... but on the surface he's calm spaghetti
@Kadam Bansal snap reality to back
gravity there goes oh
Time's refreshed over bloat
It's over now
hes joking now
He makes chess look so easy, damn.
He’s nervous but on the surface he looks calm and ready…
When you're trying to keep your upper lip stiff but Magnus hit you with the Russian Roulette opening
The king migration opening, truly inventive.
magnus be like: "I want to play the black pieces but my opponent got it, so I switched them in-game", but he still won despite wasting 6 moves in the early stages
*magnus with the goon squad in the back is an unbeatable combination*
Hes so good he has to overcomplicate things to make it interesting for himself lol
Imagine two armies on a battlefield, and while one is attacking, the second is just switching its flanks sides.
Me just starting to (seriously) get into chess: "What do I need to think about to be the best?
Magnus: 'Ride the Merry-Go-Round!'
That's the most insane thing I ever saw on a chess board.
Nice demo of just how freaking good Magnus is.
The king giving his speech in the beginning was emotional .
"If the king doesn't lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow"
-Lelouch lamperouge
Imagine a king who fights his own battles, wouldn't that be a sight?!
I think it would be funnier if he starts normal and then makes terrible moves at the very end 😂
Magnus is such an interesting player it's mesmerising watching him.
imagine pretending you're a queen, two rooks, 2 knights, 2 bishops and 8 pawns down every game.
He destroys grandmasters like they are some kids from grammar school lol
His king makes all those ridiculous moves, and he still holds a better pawn structure then I ever have
King: "Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered, a sword day, a red day ere the sun rises!"
Pawns: "DEATH!!"
- Your next opponent is a grandmaster.
- This is where the fun begins!
This move is Theoden who inspire his troops at Minas Tirith while Eowyn is trying to hide from him.
I can hear the horn, and I can hear it breaking. I can feel the rohirrim's fury flow in theirs blood.
Truely a good representation of Minas Tirith battle Magnus.
They lost, but don't worry, Aragorn will arrive !
I kind of like it. It's basically stalling for the first 5 moves. Letting them move their pieces out while keeping formation yourself.
For some reason, that opening reminded me of the French castle guard mooning the British knights in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
@B Victory
"We found them!"
“Where’d you get coconuts?!”
@Jonathan Snippe And of course "I fart in your general direction!"
'Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries'
The pawn structure kinda looks like a parapet. “I fart in your general direction!”
When chess becomes to easy for you. Hé is the only man on earth who can say that.
The king really did just break formation he made to change his seat behind his line of pawns
What is the name of this opening? And is there any tutorial available for those who want to study more of the details of this opening?
This is completely effed. 😂 Can you imagine how your chess coach would yell at you for doing this?? I’m shook.
This is honestly one of the most entertaining chess games I've seen in quite some time
The most thrilling match of all time.
I suppose we can call this the Magnus opening. But who is crazy enough to play it?
He may have been nervous, but on the surface
He looked calm and ready
This is what it is....Magnus: the name itself enough to make resign any GM immediately, does't matter whatever he plays.
he's not just doing this to some random either, it's another grandmaster
A clip of magnus playing the invincible 'King's speech opening'.

Мишаня Демидов замечательный человек и сильный гроссмейстер. Приятно, что я когда-то имел опыт пообщаться с ним лично, на турнире в Паланге. И до сих пор имею возможность заниматься с тем же тренером, что и он, в надежде добраться до того же уровня;)
Only I is having the "all this squares make a circle" moment, he gives 8 free moves and wins
This is the weirdest game of Chess I’ve ever watched. What a flex from Magnus. Lol
hes lasting that long against magnus so thats very impressive
Anyone know why Magnus didn’t take the pawn on D3?
Second question: when Magnus could’ve promoted and potentially taken a rook, why did he wait? Was there a checkmate there without his queen on that file?
Also was queen h4 check, take rook, then promote a bad move?
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm spaghetti
I was screaming at my laptop when you took your time on that last move. That was checkmate... I would have had it ready to go.
"Wait lemme just-" proceeds to swap King and Queen in 8 moves "- ogey now we can plei :)"

Another demonstration for chess beginners: King activity should be prioritized during the opening.
