Absolutely, its rediculous to ask why watch him? Magnus is up there with the best of the best across any sport. It's mind-blowing what he's achieved and the consistency. If he doesn't inspire or amaze you in some way not much in sport will.
Especially if you look at football, Ronaldo and Messi dominated, if you look at tennis, Federer, Nadal and Djokovic dominated, at basketball it's between Jordan and LeBron, in cricket it's between Sachin and Virat, but here in Chess, i really see no Rival of Magus.
@@jamesjacob21no he isn’t. Nobody watches chess bro😂 ask the general population and 80% won’t be able to tell who tf magnus carlsen is. 80% of the general population would be able to tell the other people tho. U guys are delusional if u think magnus is as famous as tiger woods, Michael jordon, ronaldo etc etc
game 2 - magnus lives in Hikaru's head rent free. The scary thing is that Magnus is IMPROVING! Every sport/game has a number 1 - and it doesn't diminish the interest one bit. Just means everyone is shooting for him.
At the risk of being called a nerd I would like to point out that “going out on your shield” is actually the correct way to say it, not going out on your sword
We still watch for the same reason we still watched Mike Tyson, Ali, Kobe, Jordan, and all the other greats in their prime. We watch because we love greatness. I don't need a doubt to enjoy greatness. It is a given, that he could lose at any time. That is what makes it so special to watch.
Yes it is better to just watch Magnus win because he brings the Magic on the Board the way nobody else does. Winning or Loosing, it doesn'y matter, he brings magic with him on the board and that's what he's selling. ❤
Back when Michael Jordan was winning every year, I didn't watch because I thought Michael might lose, I watched because he was so skilled and passionate that I knew every play I might see something done in the sport that I've never seen before. I was there to watch Michael Jordan the spectacle. Similarly I watch you explain Magnus' moves against the best in the world because he does it in seemingly fresh and new ways each time. He's not a one trick pony and knowing that he can still be the best no matter the situation adds to the intrigue and wonder. Win or lose the greatest have a way of making anything they do in their collective sport captivating.
I think it's fine Magnus is an almost guaranteed win in chess. I don't watch to see who wins, I watch to see how Magnus is going to win lol Hikaru, Fabi, Ding.. They're all good enough to force Magnus to find some crazy moves and tactics to find the W. So it's still fun to watch even though he always wins.
I feel bad for Hikaru, he's basically becoming Charles Barkley or Karl Malone in chess, hall of fame caliber player, but no championship because he has to play against Jordan.
This is the second fortress that Magnus has pulled off against Hikaru in half a week. I think it's time to revise his statement about fortresses before the third
I prefer having an overpowered player because that time, that single time he loses, the emotion is unsostainable, i was amazed when magnus had that time when he seemed to be going down but it was like that only because he seemed unreachable since that precise time. I WANT AN UNDEFEATABLE MAGNUS.
We should be thankful that Levy sacrifises so much time everyday to provide us with quality chess content such as this, but deep down, we all know it's because he has no friends and no life.
In regards to Levy's question, I personally don't like 1v1 rivalries at the top. I agree that one extremely dominant guy at the top is boring, but I prefer either having multiple almost equally strong people contending the throne or one single dominant guy with a group of other people close behind giving the champion a hard time and also having very open matches between each other. The only thing more boring than one person always winning is having only one possible interesting match. After all no one stays the strongest forever, but it's much more interesting if we can't know for sure who will eventually dethrone the king.
I love watching Magnus play and (usually) win because he's human and misses things on a regular basis then struggles to even the match or sometimes steal the win. I'm pretty sure that when Magnus told "I got no top tier rivalry" it was both to trigger Hikaru and also troll the chess world as he's a genuine humble guy. He's just enjoying the moment when right now, he's in a dominant form and he's won all the last tournaments he's played. He's toying with everybody's mind XD I love the winning Magnus, don't we all?
Carlson’s brain capacity and processing power is unmatched. He is the only player in the world with computer level accuracy. Maybe in 10 years another player would show similar signs of greatness . But currently there is no one close to his level
Fabi has been better than everyone over the board and has beaten Magnus this year, not to mention he has usually been hot on Magnus's heels in rating for years and drew every game in their world championship match. Hikaru has probably been next best this year and has also beaten Magnus, albeit not over the board. Ding is the world champion. Magnus has every right to be arrogant but he's is just incorrect. The gap between him and the next best players in nowhere near big enough to say he has no rivals.
he probably thinks of the word rival more literally, as in someone who can compete to be superior than him in the field. in that sense, i think it's absolutely correct that they are not rivals. ofc a lot of players can beat him in a game but it's clear no one in the modern era comes close to contesting his number 1 spot currently. plus he didn't exactly say he has no rivals... it was more like some light hearted banter.
Magnus Carlsen's is unique and different from other players. I agree on his interview "he is the only one " His versatility, endgame mastery, practical decision-making, mental toughness, and consistency place him in the upper echelons of chess history. While comparisons among chess legends are subjective and often depend on personal preferences, Carlsen's unique style and achievements undoubtedly make him one of the greatest chess players of all time.We are lucky to be in this generation to witness his greatness.
You could see Magnus smiling when he said it... I think he somewhat meant it, but there's also an element of him just teasing Hikaru. Also, the way he said it is another way to say that, yes, Hikaru is leading the list of his rivals, i. e., Hikaru is his main rival.
you should stop coping when Magnus says no rival it means no rival, stop making stuff up and try to pass your thoughts as Magnus' thoughts just to make yourself feel better
stop the coping and headcanons LOL, no rival for Magnus, everyone is < second tier for him, stop being ignorant. let me remind you again, STOP the COPING and the HEADCANONS
@@ylyl Hey! I was looking for you! Sure, I stand corrected, Magnus said that Hikaru is on a second tier (which is arrogant but valid, after all Mangus IS THE GOAT, nobody is disputing that), but he implied that Hikaru is the one leading that second tier, which means, Hikaru is his top rival, especially in online/speed chess, which is what they asked him about. Again, it's obvious that Magnus is the GOAT, but it's very dumb to say that Hikaru is no rival for Magnus, especially in speed chess. Yes, Magnus did say that Hikaru is on a second tier in this interview, but he also said on a different recent interview, after LOSING to Hikaru, that Hikaru is a beast in speed chess. If you can't acknowledge that, you are the ignorant one. I'm not coping with anything. I root for Hikaru because I usually root for the underdog, but going to the extreme to say that Hikaru is nothing in front of Magnus is extremely stupid, especially when Magnus himself has recently said Hikaru is a beast.
@@德機印刷器材數位印後 With that same logic, when Magnus says someone is a beast, it means that someone is a beast. No need for a double standard. Make me feel better!? HAHAHA! I don't care whether Hikaru wins or loses... I do get annoyed when I see extremely dumb comments like the ones left by Hikaru haters. If Hikaru was NO RIVAL, Magnus would NEVER lose to Hikaru. Unfortunately he has... quite a few times, and a few others, he has barely beaten him, by 1 or 2 points, that's all. That is NOT a NON-RIVAL.
Honestly when the outplays are so nice to watch, I don't mind someone being so dominant. Just cause it's not like he just wins everything in a boring way, but if you actually enjoy chess, you get to appreciate what amazing games he does.
The last scc vid was brought the highest excitement sport can bring. In a funny way magnus not always crushing (when he has not so inspired day and/or opponent is in shape) rwsults in this excitement, but when he crushes it's also fascinating and often beautiful
I like that Magnus is clearly the best. I love watching Levy break down his games and just be in awe of how simple Magnus makes things look against the very best players in the world. It's also worth noting that no one is the best forever. the young guys coming up from India like Prag and Gukesh... even Nihal are going to make things pretty damn interesting in the next few years.
I prefer 1 dominant player like Magnus/Fischer/Kasparov. If theres no Magnus, the rest of the top 10 players are pretty similar in strength. Just wouldnt be as interesting.
