Was filmed a few weeks ago in Oslo at a training camp that Magnus attended. It's called 'visualisation', a lot of top guys have started doing it recently to help them visualise different manoeuvres on the board
haha someone literally sent me a meme of that the other day which is perhaps why you commenting this but idk for sure😁 I've got your latest one added to my watch later playlist already !! Cheers for tuning in
@SashaYanshin this was the one, someone sent me a picture of literally exactly what you said so I used it in a video intro 🤣 ruclips.net/video/uPsuDjuYQOc/видео.html
Yeah, the evaluation bar is representing how good the position would be if the opponent gave a perfect response. Magnus isn't playing into the opponent's prep, and he's doing wacky unexpected stuff to disrupt the board (eats up their time and makes them much more likely to move suboptimally). Until the evaluation bar can somehow factor this kind of tactic in, it won't be accurate in evaluating human vs human games.
Magnus: "I'm going to start with the two worst moves, then spend the rest of the game sacrificing my queen, both bishops, both knights, and finally sacrifice my two rook, leaving 6/8 pawns to win the game." The man's not just the G.O.A.T., he's the troll.
can you do a video where you break down what kind of style of play you're expecting from the hans/magnus alireza/hikaru games, and also the beefs?? based on their recent games etc., what kind of openings are they gonna play. Would love to watch that video although maybe a weird format i dunno
you have such an informative and simultaneously entertaining way of creating your videos. Thanks so much for your efforts! Keep them up! Thumbs up as usual!
Every time he does this, he increases the “Magnus Effect”. Yes, you can analyze later and notice he was bluffing, but he doesn’t always do that. So hard for the opponent because one weakness in his position unravels into a cascade of pawns mulching everything in their way.
I love the commentary on @3:39: "But look at the queen side, undeveloped", while completely disregarding even the king side only has 1 piece developed lmfao I'm laughing because it's still a better position than anything I could do as the game would already be over by turn 8 probably, haha
If I ever got to play Magnus I would do anything to keep my queen on the board. I dont care if it costs me 20 points of material, if I have a queen it's not an endgame and I'm not 100% dead yet, just 99.9%
My favorite bizarre opening ever was one I read about in the British Chess magazine many years ago (its just called CHESS). The late British grand master Tony Miles won a game against the much better Gary Karpov while playing as black by doing edge pawn one space. Mathematically not the best move maybe but it confused Karpov with how unusual it was. I don't have the entire sequence memorized and sadly almost everything that I owned (this includes my chess books and mags and board etc) was destroyed in a massive wild fire and I barely escaped with my life. I do remember that he used the edge pawn to do what he called "extended fianchetto" where the pawn in front of the bishop was 2 spaces forward instead of the usual 1 with the edge pawn protecting it.
This fellow Magnus, must be having fun, starting an opening like this, and winning. That is one incredibly talented chess player. The past Best world GM I don't believe tried these crazy openings. And yes, love the intro! Fantastic, fun, Keep on the good work Mr. Epic Chess!
It is only a matter of time (probably not much) before the counter to this is discovered and nobody, not even Magnus can win with it anymore if their opponent is a good player by conventional standards, even if not as good as the player doing the opening. I think its only working because it is so UNUSUAL and CONFUSES people but ultimately its weak.
When i see Magnus play, I always feel on the cusp of understanding something that will cause a breakthrough in my chess. There's something easy about it, and he knows it. Maybe i will grasp it after watching another 5,000 games.
Magnum Carlos is definitely a fine alter ego, and I would also go with "Stone Cold" Magnus, he pops so many "stunners" on his opponents. Carlsen 3:16...
A knight on the rim is like a 13 yr old boy at a school disco counting the minutes until his either his mum comes to pick him up or the "oops upside your head" comes on as it's the only dance he knows.
thanks James please subscribers tell one and all about epic chess it has been a good way for all people and all races to prove intelligence over many centuries
ah it was you thank you! Yeah I've stolen tons from people sorry it's too time consuming trying to write down everyone who tells me stuff and then crediting each video, much appreciated though haha

What is this intro ?????
Was filmed a few weeks ago in Oslo at a training camp that Magnus attended. It's called 'visualisation', a lot of top guys have started doing it recently to help them visualise different manoeuvres on the board
Its called RIDE IT MY PONY!
Look at his horse his horse is amazing
I love those intros lol
And thats why it was so elegant, See !!
I will never tire of the Magnum Carldad horse riding clip
carldad 😂
Absolutely fantastic! Love it!!
Yall grasping at air
It’s his head/hair getting a little bit bigger each video?
we certainly won’t interact with any electrons in that ol peanut o’ yours, bg
Next video I want to find out about the notorious Mexican druglord Magnum Carlos.

Don't forget Angus McCarlson the Celtic Crusher
@@epicchess2021 Wow! Great minds! I haven't even seen that video! :)))
he completed chess, now doing side quests
Stockbarnacle always misunderestimates Cagnus Marlsen.

"But you don't want to Botez gambit your queen"
Very good sir
When I play 1.nh3 I'm an idiot who doesn't understand chess.
When Magnus plays 1.nh3 it's a brand new opening and he's a genius.
yes
Stockfish needs a software update for that evaluation bar, it needs to know when it's Magnus playing to properly evaluate.
Needs a 'learning' marker
Yeah, the evaluation bar is representing how good the position would be if the opponent gave a perfect response. Magnus isn't playing into the opponent's prep, and he's doing wacky unexpected stuff to disrupt the board (eats up their time and makes them much more likely to move suboptimally).

@@mayebeline1149 I absolutely love your nerdy comment.
If so, it has to take into account how late he shows up, and readjusting the pieces.
“Tour de horse” got me
haha someone gave me that in the comments, I can't take credit
‘it’s an absolute banger, it’s a game changer’ clip never gets old & Kasparov just made it better lol
some of these lines are so golden, it would be a crime to use them only once - they have replay value until he hits the millions
Magnus: "I'm going to start with the two worst moves, then spend the rest of the game sacrificing my queen, both bishops, both knights, and finally sacrifice my two rook, leaving 6/8 pawns to win the game." The man's not just the G.O.A.T., he's the troll.
I can't believe this is a real channel. The humor is so perfect.
you're too kind thanks a lot!
@@epicchess2021 Alex is *not* in fact too kind - just correct. Amazing.
@@epicchess2021you’re the most entertaining chess channel by far, a welcome change from the overly dim and loud yanks. The humour is !!
I love that your pithy expression about knights on the rim continues to be the same from video to video.
Magnus knows even FMs might get lucky using a mainline but they'll be lost in the woods without their precision prep
I always enjoy a good Magnesium Calcium match.
What happened to the chess piece on shelf? how are we supposed to know what type of channel this is without no chess pieces in the back lol
haha it's getting engraved, I won my club championship again 🥳 3 years of a chess channel has helped I guess!
*"(...) but you don't want to Botez Gambit your Queen."*
LOL
Cagnus Marlsen, did he really said this?
A knight on the edge has made a series of bad life decisions and is now just beginning to drift...
The Batwing Gambit
can you do a video where you break down what kind of style of play you're expecting from the hans/magnus alireza/hikaru games, and also the beefs?? based on their recent games etc., what kind of openings are they gonna play. Would love to watch that video although maybe a weird format i dunno
I like the idea! Idk if I will tho apolgies I prefer just doing game breakdowns really!
It must be quite a psychological challenge to face Magnus, and he opens like this.
I was lucky enough to watch it last week knew you would soon be making me laugh with your analysis of it. Thanks James.
That horse riding clip is excellent, it really looks incredible and I lol every time I see it James, GG
haha thanks Alex

Hey, I need a little bit of backstory for the clip of Mongoose Charleston on the horsey, please. Whenever you can get to it. Cheers and regards!
Haha please see pinned comment
I think Carlson watches and is trolling epic cheese.
Cagnus Marlsen!
Did he just say Cagnus Marlson ?
Connect 4 or the prawn sword?
hahaha v good
@@epicchess2021I am trying to think of a really good pawn structure that would be a real prawn cracker...
"Stockeel" 💀
a chess coach's nightmare... imagine the kids saying "but MAGNUS played this.."
Every time he does this, he increases the “Magnus Effect”. Yes, you can analyze later and notice he was bluffing, but he doesn’t always do that. So hard for the opponent because one weakness in his position unravels into a cascade of pawns mulching everything in their way.

I think you mean when he played 1 . . . a6 and then 2 . . . b5, the St George Defence. Anatoly Karpov not Gary!
@@johnenock7939 sorry that is Kasperov yes I meant Anatoly. Do you know that game? I loved it. I am sad Tony Miles passed away.
@@Zurround Karpov v Miles 1980.
Magnus is playing Fischer Random moves😮
Brushing foes off the board like Flys off a horse lol
Yeah, he likes to play nutty openings when playing against Gotham and such
His anti-cheating measures speak for themselves
what do you mean bro??
@@maheshdawaniAin't nobody preparing for that opening!
@@svenpoletka5236 bro sorry my enlish is very weak,plss can you explain a little clearly
@@maheshdawani It's ok bro you'll get there
This is just ridiculous! Great commentary as usual
What shall we call this opening, the Dim Dim?

1:40 “There’s a common saying in chess, a knight on the edge is an absolute loser”. 😅
The opponents laugh themselves into losing on time.
Gagnus Marlsen 😂😂😂😂😂😂The goat at 4:26😅😅😅
1:40 that was fckn hilarious!!!
I feel like I’ve seen this title so many times all over the internet for years now lol
Every time he plays he invents something!
if you type troll in video thumbnail, then we now he won , and its not more fun. Try to fix it
everyone is playing this now

Too strong, I'm tired... ahahaha Thanks for sharing your analyse mon ami and hope to see you soon in Saigon ;-)
Thanks yes I’ll message your gym Facebook page!
..I find it amusing that M.Carlsen often plays very unusual openings ..its like he's bored and wants to "..try something different for a change.."
Magnus is clearly just horsing around 😂
Laughing so much that my ear infection flared up
