I don't claim that I do it as fast or as deep as them, but I can definitely discuss variations in my head with similarly rated opponents like me and Magnus and Ian forgot more about chess than I know. It's just practice.
@@NMKT17 Magnus definitely is better than Nepo & has a dominant record against him, but still, he has to try much more than he does against all but a handful of other opponents. And their rivalry did start with Nepo beating him to the U12 world title
Its amazing to see how they can go back in their mind to certain position in a moment of game and replay some variation to discuss the chess in its pure way. I can do the same... about food or movie. Only that thought keeps me from feeling bad about myself :D
Not only are they doing all this in their heads like they're discussing the weather, but Magnus very correctly pointing out at the end of this sequence "white is better" without a moment of hesitation, just makes me realize how hopeless my chess ambitions are.
Engine evaluation isn't human evaluation, especially in fast time formats. With that kind of microscopic difference, the engine is essentially saying that anything can happen
As someone who only knows the basics of chess, it's so cool how they are able to discuss those what-if scenarios while reading even further ahead, and without a board too!
I can look away from the board and calculate out 3 or 4 moves ahead and I still lose 98% of games to someone with a National Master or FIDE Master title.
Saw a video once, I forget how many games it was (I think 6 or so?) that Magnus played simultaneously... blind. He could not see any of the boards but was able to keep them all in his mind at once. Incredible.
@@TommyBo42 Six is nothing. Magnus has done twenty at least. Najdorf did 45. I remember one reporter asked Magnus how he memorized all the positions and he said, "That would be impossible. When I step up to each board I replay all the moves [in my head]."
@@fierymongoose9945 So that is NOT blind. I'm referring to the games where he cannot see the boards at all. He has to play every game strictly in his head.
In the end Magnus kind of agreed with Nepo when he said "practically speaking". The eval bar doesnt tell the whole story. We have to take into account how difficult the moves are.
@@klefdnbit's the finals, there's no one else playing 😊. They're talking about the people applauding behind the screen, as the sound is on for the public during the game.
@@andreidinu7316 sigh, why do you insist on being confidently wrong. this is in the round robin stage of the tournament, that's why magnus is worried the other players will hear them.
Nepo thinks he is right and magnus already said it’s still okey for white. Nepo kept going and resulted in magnus to escape the conversation with saying “yea practically”. Computer say it’s clear advantage for white and Magnus knew that. He is above level of Nepo.
Thank you for the editor because I was super lost and I am very green to Chess and the notation has me feeling like I am wearing earplugs and all I hear is the teacher from Charlie Brown lol 😂 wah, wah, wahh. I'll learn but for now I was lost lol thanks for showing the board and eval bar as well!
Nepo: 'In the first game, I could have used Stockfish?' Magnus: 'It wouldn't have worked.' Nepo: 'But it's far stronger than a human could ever be! It's rating would be far in excess of..." Magnus: 'No. I would have won.' Nepo: 'So, you are telling me that if it had moved the knight to...' Magnus: 'Oh yeah, saw it coming. Easy. Mate in 27. I would crush it's dreams in one of 37 different ways.' Nepo: *pulls out of the game citing digestive distress as an excuse* 😂 Please forgive me, I'm just being silly - I mean no disrespect to either player, they are both amazing.
I assume Nepo lost the game he is discussing, and has thought of something he could have done different. Then Magnus gives his alternative, of what he would have done, to simplify the board (as black). Nepo doesn't like it, still likes his idea, but Magnus is not convinced. I don't know what black's next move is, in Nepo's variation, but looks like white moves Queen to g1, protected by the knight there? Queen exchange? Seems like black's queen is kinda trapped there, even though it seems threatening.
TIL the comment section doesn't play games in their head. Not that I could analyse the and lines as anywhere near as fast as these 2 lol, just surprised more people don't play in their head at work or something haha
It's always funny to listen to Nepo explaning WHAT he should have done after loosing yet another game to Magnus. What about saying, "Congratulations, great play!" Don't get me wrong, both are great players, but still.

Yeahh
I notice wow! Nice job make this.
Yes please
Yes please, so interesting
Of course!
Thanks for the editor to show a board and play out moves for us dumbasses who don't understand notations
And showing the bar
I mean it's not just notations, you would need to know the game and be able to visualize it in your head. It's pretty high level stuff.
@roee8226 well if u understand notation then u can clearly visualise board in head.
Have some self esteem brother. You ain't no dumbass. Just practice the coordinates. You just have to grind.
YES ! 🤣👍
Magnus: "They don't hear us."
Ian: "I love you!"
Almost choked reading this 😂😂😂

even after he realize they cant hear them he spoke in a low voice👏
out of respect, dude

i think u r right with "its" cuz they are machines
And it speaks for itself
so Hans is correct 💯😅

Hey, fanboy, they finished 2-2.
I am amazed how they can go through these variations in their head. These people are gifted.
Hard work
@@Nnm26 it's not just hard work
It would be odd if they couldn't, given the insane amount of time they've put into this game ever since they were kids
@@MildlyHumorous-cq1nnNop, indeed. Hard work and social-historical context.

What a great pleasure and privilege for these 2 to have enjoyed (and still be enjoying!) a rivalry at the highest level across 20+ years!
I don’t thinks its a rivalry if one side wins every time when it matters most, but its still been great seeing these two.
@@NMKT17 Magnus definitely is better than Nepo & has a dominant record against him, but still, he has to try much more than he does against all but a handful of other opponents. And their rivalry did start with Nepo beating him to the U12 world title

@@AviSanX well, Magnus also does other things besides play and study chess. He has his chess businesses, etc

He said "In the first game..." They were not even talking about the game just over.
@ACSMEX oh god no
Not only are they doing all this in their heads like they're discussing the weather, but Magnus very correctly pointing out at the end of this sequence "white is better" without a moment of hesitation, just makes me realize how hopeless my chess ambitions are.
Going through variations like it's nothing. Amazing.
0:35 Magnus abilty to evaluate a position is crazy. He always knows whos better
Most intelligent comment here…
Engine evaluation isn't human evaluation, especially in fast time formats. With that kind of microscopic difference, the engine is essentially saying that anything can happen
anyone else feel like they were just watching 2 aliens communicate about how inefficient the human civilization is?
when chess speaks for itself
It's like hearing another language which they are the only ones who know at that speed. :D
Understandable
Have a great day 🙂👍🏻
xD
Going into a 10 moves alternative and going "yeah of course" Is so impressive. We can't get how good they are.
Nepo is so dang likeable.
Yaa...until he blames a world champion of using engine
Tell me you don't watch chess without telling me you don't watch chess.

nepo and magnus toghter love them friendlty❤❤❤
I had to play this at x0.25 and watching the board... We are different species i guess
The day you can read a chess game while moving the pieces in your head and understand the position, you know you've mastered the game.
I can look away from the board and calculate out 3 or 4 moves ahead and I still lose 98% of games to someone with a National Master or FIDE Master title.

What? Nobody thinks Nepo is cheating.
Nobody sane anyways.
@@eliasvonbrillehe accused others

That was literally Insane!
High level talk
0:22 now I understand how Ian stood up to Magnus by looking at the screen's chess board on the wall
Magnus is right as usual. White it's OK.
In the end Magnus kind of agreed with Nepo when he said "practically speaking". The eval bar doesnt tell the whole story. We have to take into account how difficult the moves are.
@@Leokuma7 He didn't mean anything. That's a polite way of cutting off the conversation.
I had to watch it at 0.5x to understand just a little bit…

Well, they in fact did hear them
they talk about other players... so they don't bother them while still playing.

This speaks for itself.
It doesn't work should be a meme template
Yeah. Like famous in Poland "To by nic nie dało" ("It wouldn't have given anything") by Mariusz Pudzianowski
Hilarously, Nepo keeps playing after he realizes he didn't get any advantage in the variation
Cooper: Tell me something. Magnus and Nepo, they close?
TARS: Why are you whispering? They can't hear you.
if it was me, i would tell him : dude, i forgot the whole game, take your loss and move on!
Magnus is like saying yeah bro i know ur smart but i just beat you so move on there's more games to play so good luck
Yes more behind the scenes!!
best clip ive seen in ages
Two computers talking about binaries
thats what my uncle say to me too back in the day .

The title is INSANE without context
Why Niemann is cheating? Because he can't do that he doesn't even remember his games... At those level they can just play in their heads.

It doesnt work, start the procedure.
I love this.
What about we make this mandatory? Cause it's so interesting to watch hahahaa
Magnus's evaluation is right, nepo thought white was much better
Is there a reason Magnus didn’t want to be heard?

you know how to play chess does not mean you are doing well in life.
What language is this?
English.
Chess
Esperanto.
Wow
who was Magnus worried about hearing them?
I agree
Good that they dont hear the guy sniffing his nose all the time. We spectators must bear it
Quiet Nepo
why did they even care whether anyone hears them or not???
They don't Want to bother other players
It's great they so good friends. :)
They're not friends, they're colleagues.
Context
They played chess, and are discussing different possible lines after the game
Just not cool…. To send it!
Nepo is a future GM. The man is a fighter.
but he is a GM
