      magnus sucks at middlegames. Larry Kaufman:
      'Magnus doesn't generally play such great openings, he strives to get the game out of book as early as possible usually. I think the issue here is that his greatest strength is the endgame, but FRC games are much more likely to be decided in the middlegame as the players are on their own so early. That's probably why he doesn't shine as brightly in FRC as in Classical chess.'

    I find that whenever Magnus makes such comments, in the blunt criticism way, he's usually referring to himself. Typically when he refers to dubious moves his opponent makes, he phrases it as not understanding the purpose behind that move or he refutes the move by say, capturing a hung piece. He's not much for ridiculing his opponent's positions, but he's super blunt about his own mistakes. When he plays badly enough that someone many hundreds of ELO points below him is possibly better or clearly better, he says how badly he played.
    I find that he's pretty consistent about that, because he has a pretty good handle on when he's made a blunder or when his position is clearly losing or worse, but if his opponent is playing in a way he doesn't agree with or understand, he almost always leaves open the possibility he's missed something particularly in online chess where he's commenting and not spending a lot of time deeply analyzing the moves.
    I've seen quite a lot of Magnus playing people online, and especially in the games where he blunders or loses outright, his reactions are almost universally identical. Often he is playing an opening he knows is inferior so he knows his position is bad, so he can save lost or worse positions, points out the opening itself is bad. Sometimes he will make a move just to not waste too much time and later decide the move has definitely made his position worse, and the few times his opponent makes some brilliant attack or sack that he didn't see, he usually says something akin to wow, immediately tries to assess if he's being mated and if he can stop it, or if it is time to resign.
    He's usually not very prideful about his position, he suffers from a remarkable lack of arrogance for someone who could beat literally anyone. It's a very Norwegian perspective. I say this as an American living in Norway for 8 years now, this attitude is super common.
    Norwegian itself as a language is very blunt, for example, when you pay for gas, the machine tells you something that directly translates to "friendliest insert your card now." They throw in the word "friendliest" because otherwise, it sounds like the machine is being bluntly rude and ordering you around.
    The culture itself is very not egotistical. The belief is mainly that we're all in this together, we're a team, individuals who perform above expectations are helping the team, or making the country better, as opposed to personal glory.
    Because Norwegian is so blunt, and English is his second language, and he's not very arrogant or egocentric, he will usually dispassionately rip apart his own position using very blunt language, but watch how he phrases his criticism of his opponent's position. He tends to use that non-judgment language like I don't understand this move, or he thinks it is a mistake, especially because he is aware he could be missing something in the position that gives his opponent an edge.
    I think part of why he is so strong is that his skill level and experience never gives him a swelled head, he's constantly in a state of wondering how his position is bad or what mistakes he has made or leaves open the possibility he missed a brilliancy from his opponent.
    When the position is clearly bad for his opponent he can occasionally say something like that, but he's usually really confident his opponent is in a dead lost position at that point.
    Because his personality, culture he grew up with, and native language makes him inclined to harshly criticize himself and leave it open that his opponent is somehow better even against his best judgment, and because that perspective is usually wildly different from the norm, I find that Magnus' criticism of his own position often gets mistaken for criticism of his opponent.
    I have a similar thing where I'm too afraid of making a social mistake and too afraid of hurting someone else's feelings in person that I often freeze up and don't talk to people and people mistake that as be being too full of myself to talk to them. Inward harsh criticism OFTEN gets mistaken for outward criticism. People just don't expect it, they expect people to be rude and arrogant.

    The game was very interesting especially with the analysis afterwards. It would be much more so rapid as opposed to the blitz you were in. Although I know the extra time benefits both sides I think given the depth of understanding and pattern recognition you have that it would have shored up the rating difference between you guys - just my two cents. Super interesting game tho and hopefully we do see a longer game in the future if Magnus ever plays those.

    Magnus, Hikaru & FIDE cheated Wesley So in the 2022 WFRCC.
    Source:
    p1w4Rr-1fL
    Why isn't it unfair to Wesley So that FIDE lowered the WFRCC time controls from 60min in 2019 to 32.5min in 2022 ( w/o changing the name of course to 'rapid WFRCC'. if they change the name, then there's no problem ) considering the ff things?
    (Note: 45+15=60, and 25+5+2.5=32.5)
    Thing1
    In the 2019 WFRCC, Hikaru & Magnus did better in 17min games than 60min games. Wesley So did better in vice-versa.
    Thing2
    Afaik
    - (0min,10min) = blitz
    - [10min,60min) = rapid
    - [60min,120min) = classical but unrated for 2200+ players.
    - [120min,infinity) = classical
    Hence, Wesley So should be the CLASSICAL WFRCC and then Hikaru is the rapid WFRCC.
    Wesley So beat Magnus 3x CLASSICAL (60MIN) games in a row HUMAN VS HUMAN, no computer prep!
    Thing3
    Yet for some reason FIDE insists that both 32.5min & 60min are 'slow rapid' while 17min is 'fast rapid'. They didn't even define these terms.
    Check out the maths here:
    I see only 2 reasonable definitions for slow & fast rapid.
    -Def1 - Slow rapid means unrated classical [60,120) & fast rapid is rapid [10,60).
    This means:
    - There's no classical WFRCC.
    - Wesley So is slow rapid WFRCC.
    - Hikaru is fast rapid WFRCC.
    - Hence, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So.
    -Def2 - Fast rapid & slow rapid cut up rapid [10,60) into resp [10,35) and [35,60).
    2 issues here:
    - 60min is not in either of these intervals.
    - Also, 32.5 is in [10,35).
    So neither 60 nor 32.5 are slow rapid. Lol.
    This means:
    - There's no slow rapid WFRCC.
    - Wesley So is classical WFRCC.
    - Hikaru is rapid WFRCC, specifically fast rapid WFRCC.
    - Hence, again, Hikaru is NOT a successor of Wesley So.
    - Def3 - The definitions must be: Since 15+2=17 is fast rapid, we must have
    - [10,X) fast rapid &
    - [X,120) slow rapid, for some
    17 < X < 32.5.
    Like say X is some arbitrary number like X=20 or X=30. Lol yeah right!!
    Thing4
    Conclusion:
    I believe the WFRCC was a conspiracy to get Hikaru / Magnus to win in parallel w/ the Hans Niemann situation. Think about this:
    - Magnus quits the 2022 Sinquefield Cup. 1 day later, Hans Niemann, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 CGC in that Hans is removed!
    - Magnus quits the 2023 WCC. 1 month later, Wesley So, an American rival of Magnus, is harmed in another tournament, the 2022 WFRCC in that the time controls are reduced!
    I hardly believe this is a coincidence. I bet Magnus even directed (or conspired w/) FIDE to remove (and hence cheat) Sergey (not American but Jewish like Hans & Bobby) from the 2022 candidates. Sergey's replacement Liren even cited as role models: Magnus, Garry & Veselin instead of Wesley, Bobby & Vlad ( as described in FlNsFKeq-iE ).
    Of course there's no conspiracy at all if FIDE just says
    'Ok Wesley So is classical WFRCC & Hikaru is rapid WFRCC. Sorry for the confusion!'
    For chess:
    The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life.
    For 9LX:
    The ability to play 9LX is the sign of a gentleman or a lady. The ability to play 9LX well is the sign that you're not Magnus Carlsen. LOL!!!!

    Terrible is a word Magnus uses pretty loosely. He often criticizes himself though.

    You'll never be in a position to formally compete with Magnus OTB. Calling him out publicly doesn't help your case. Yes, it was a nice game. But we in chat are no Magnus caliber players. Magnus felt the game was terrible and based on his standards he has every right to say so. I would be proud and happy to play Magnus if the opportunity ever presented itself. The last thing I would do is call him out to critiquing the game.

    10:50 on move 18, I was sitting here thinking "why can't you just take the knight on d4?" But after looking, at the end of the line, Magnus can take the knight on b4, since the pawn is pinned to the rook on a8. Just thought that was interesting, in case someone else had the same thought I did.

    • @MrTedMcForehead
      @MrTedMcForehead 9 месяцев назад

      that rook on a8 is defended by the other rook and the bishop so the pawn isnt pinned... i dont get why he couldnt take d4

    • @inteluhdgaming1524
      @inteluhdgaming1524 9 месяцев назад

      wow, I initially assumed it had to do with some back rank issues, but just noticed that the knight on f6 defends e8

      ​@@MrTedMcForeheadafter Bxd4 Nxd4 Qxd4 white can trade queens which forces the rook to take whites queen after which white will play bxb4 and black can't take back because the rook on a8 is now undefended because of the trade of queens earlier

    • @therealhero9226
      @therealhero9226 9 месяцев назад +2

      and the rook on a8 is undefended anyway because the bishop would be blocking the connection of both rooks

    I think youre madly underrated and that Magnus‘ comment was about his own play, cause he mentioned that hes getting busted. If not, then Magnus should maybe check the game before saying things like this.

    I trust that you don't cheat but I can totally see how easy it would be for an unsporting player to cheat only very occasionally - perhaps only when there is one move that will result in an improved position and that improved position is unusually decisive. A player who cheated like this - only one or two moves a game - but the most important moves - would be very difficult to detect...

  • @JoeBob79569
    @JoeBob79569 3 месяца назад

    I'm not an expert by any means but it seems like Magnus plays random openings intentionally; and if I was the best in the world I think I'd probably do this too for several reasons, such as to entertain and test myself, and to even out the playing field for both of us so we both have to think about the game right from the start.
    But I suppose there are so many different openings that it's hard to even find something that isn't a book opening..

    Eric, based off of your own comments, Magnus had to give some consideration two times in the game. Going against the current GOAT, that is something definitely worthy of sharing with the grand children.

  • @zacharygrouwinkel1534
    @zacharygrouwinkel1534 9 месяцев назад +1

    Hey Eric, do you think your chances against higher rated players are better with a short clock or long clock? You are a slower paced methodical player which generally means you are in time trouble a lot. But would playing a longer game help your opponents more in your opinion?

  • @scotstark6204
    @scotstark6204 9 месяцев назад

    I dont play chess but for some reason I do enjoy watching chess videos. One thing I have notice is how scared/tilted people get playing higher level players. I dont get it. You're likely to lose anyway. Why not bring out your stone cold killer persona and play agressive and see if you can force a blunder. If you lose at least you went down swinging plus you were likely to lose anyway so who cares.
