Gonna be honest, I started tuning out the early game and then I went to r/chess and saw someone mention that Magnus/Vishy played a crazy endgame and came back to watch the rest - that was some absolutely bonkers nuts endgame play, thanks for covering this game!
7:56 “if you’re bored because Magnus hasn’t done anything exciting in the last 7 minutes and you wanna click off the video, idk you’re beyond salvation, you’re a product of the social media machine in the modern era” this guy is too funny
7:10 to 7:45 Levy subtly hinting how he is indeed in a hostage situation and want to be let out to roam free and touch snow, also calling his kidnapper a bad person, all the while the kidnapper's right infront of him oblivious to all these with a camera in his hand. Straight up outplayed him, bravo!
Fun fact: wild land firefighting actually DOES fight fire with fire, using drip torches to burn organic material before wildfires can reach it, accompanied by a wide trench barrier, known as a fire line.
"The best player in the world residing in India." This is a great idea. I will now refer to myself as "the best player in the world residing in my house."
The moment when you know that in the same tournament vishy beated duda twice , aronian , mvl and two draws with nepomniachtchi, one-one draw with aronian and mvl. Un defeated only magnus manages to defeat him
its so crazy that he was watching the other games to decide what to play in his game during this game against Vishy.. and then he wins. like this mans endgame is immaculate.

6:00, This is called a "controlled fire", and it's used to destroy vegetation so that an out of control fire has nothing to "eat," thus causing it it stop spreading.
Great video and yes you can fight fire with fire. It is used to fight bush fires. You would call them wild fires. The technique is called a back burn. The idea is to burn all the fuel in front of the of the advancing bush or wild fire and hence starve it out. This technique obviously would never be used in a house fire.
I never knew you could salvage a game after your opponent queens. Most folks I’ve outplayed would just resign as soon as I pushed a pawn to the seventh rank with no hope of stopping it (since it’s usually a forced mate after promotion)
In terms of fighting fire with fire, controlled burns can be used as a way of making sure wildfires don't start. You can also burn out a big line to stop a fire from spreading further. So I guess you *can* fight fire with fire but it's less about putting the fire out and more stopping it starting / spreading
That game was fire. The moment Magnus promoted to a Knight, Vishy was so surprised, he did not expect it. He smiled at Magnus because it was in that moment he knew he was fluffed 😂 Magnus is from another world ❤
I am Australian and this country is literally supposed to be on fire on a regular basis, in fact there are seed pods that only open after a fire. Also my mother used to work for the national parks so I can offer the following information about fighting fire with fire: you can pre-burn all the flammable materials like dry leaves and sticks in a controlled way so that they cannot fuel a fire later on. This is called back-burning.
I like how the video is called "Magnus Carlsen's Greatest Endgame" and it is undeniably a spectacular performance, but if you check the engine lines around 15:38 after Kc1 you'll realize that the engine gives like -5 in black's favor and that Magnus actually BLUNDERED a draw in the next few moves (specifically after playing Kd4 instead of Kxb4). Engines are absolutely crazy man
The idea of literally fighting fire with fire is that you set a fire to burn down _all_ the fuel for the other fire at a particular point, to create a barrier the other fire cannot cross. If you control the fire you set properly, you can extinguish it once it finishes burning what you want it to, and everything on the other side of the burn line / perimiter / etc. from the main fire will be protected.
The jokes today were very funny. The Norwegian horse dance bit was hilarious. But it wasn’t the Norwegian man who got kicked in the head by the horse. It was the Norwegian Wood-pusher whose pawn spawned (the “S” pawn) and Vishy couldn’t wake up from his knightmare.
I am a firefighter and they use sometimes fire to attack fire, when there is a bushfire they do a controlled fire on the edge of the fire so when the real fire comes there is nothing left to be burned and that helps a lot.
Wildland FF here. We utilize drip torches and other various burning equipment to create what we call back burns. Essentially removing unburned fuel between the main body of fire and the homes we're trying to protect. Your videos gave me many hours of entertainment while camping out in the woods. Cheers
It was "equal" in the sense that it was most likely a draw. In context it was a team competition and for his team a draw was as bad as a loss. So it was impressive digging out the win from among countless stalemates and draws.
5:59 Actually you can, but not in the way the idiom is generally used. The plan is basically set controlled fires so that when a wildfire arrives, all the fuel is already burned.
@@dabocousin He already made the point that it doesn't matter who holds the WC (world champion) title, because Magnus is the GOAT (greatest of all time)
Fire is used to fight fire in forestry. When you've a wildfire burning, the technique is to light a controlled "back fire" a few hours in front of the main flame front to starve it of fuel. I guess the analogy works as Magnus starves the K-side of play towards the end of the opening.
Fire fighters sometimes do a controlled burn in front of a fire so the out of control fire won’t be able to spread. That’s kinda fighting fire with fire
Not a firefighter by any means, but I think you actually can fight fire with fire (in a way.) Essentially, you can stop the spread of a fire by burning whatever's in its path through the means of a smaller, more controlled fire, so that anything which the bigger, more problematic fire can burn (and thus spread through) is already consumed by the time the big fire arrives, essentially smothering it. Generally I think this strategy is only used in emergencies, and mostly in wildfire as opposed to urban fire situations.
I'm genuinely worried for Levy now. He genuinely looks like he's being held hostage. I'm not even joking anymore, I'm actually genuinely worried. Can we get someone to find him to check up on him?
dont worry dude. ignore those cringe comments joking about how hes “hostage”. they arent funny anymore. also levy himself said that he is taking a break on a vacation. so there isnt anything to worry about.
I'm a volunteer firefighter in Australia, and you can actually fight fire with fire, so to speak, in a process called back-burning. Basically, you pre-burn an area ahead of the fire that you keep under control, so there is no fuel to keep the main fire going. It does depend a lot on the circumstances, though (weather conditions, size of the main fire, landscape, etc).
As a firefighter, you can fight fire with fire in very certain cases, for an example, you could make a small, controlled fire to cut off some of the fuel from a bigger fire, however it's much easier just to make a fireline, which basicly just clears any potential fuel sources so the fire can die down on its own.
"Fighting fire with fire" comes from a technique for containing forest fires, where you move a certain distance ahead of the fire and do a controlled burn of a specific distance, so when the big fire gets there, it has nothing left to burn. Or maybe it doesnt, maybe i made that up. Who knows?
fighting fire with fire is a term that comes from firefighters using small controlled burns to cut off a major fire's "food supply" and blocking the fire from spreading.
The funny thing is that I had just watched an Anand - Carlsen game from the 2014 Rapid Championship in Dubai where Carlsen totally blunders the endgame like I would.
Cheese is a versatile and delicious dairy product that is created through the coagulation and fermentation of milk. It is made by curdling milk using enzymes or acids, separating the curds from the whey, and then undergoing various processes such as pressing, aging, and flavoring. With a wide range of textures, flavors, and varieties, cheese has become a culinary staple worldwide. From creamy brie to sharp cheddar, cheese offers a diverse array of tastes and can be enjoyed on its own, used as an ingredient in various dishes, or melted to enhance the flavors of sandwiches, pizzas, and more.
6:00 Yes, for example, in the case of forest fires, we can define the boundary of the fire by causing a controlled fire at a given point (at the boundary). In this way, the fire should not penetrate deeper (we will take away its fuel)
14:05 playing for a win with g3 check because the team score for the event was down. He played for a win so that his team had a chance at winning. He spent a bit of this game staring at the screens showing his teammates' boards before deciding to play rook d8 three moves prior.
