it wasn't a speed game tho, they started with 24 mins on the clock. Kasparov actually took time to fix his pieces and wipe the sand outta his eyes for a solid 15 seconds in the clock before making a move
Sorry I hate to sound like a know it all but you are wrong. Comically wrong. The best in the world is you if you would’ve believed in yourself the way I believed in you. you let us down.
"I'm a servant" - such a humble and strong statement! Imagine how many people never unleashed or even realized their potential, because of lack of the support from their parents. Magnus is indeed genius, but he's also very lucky to have such parents.
Thats true, the potential would increase, but I don't believe this type of relationship is very sane. The father who basically gives up his own life/goals and the son who being a lonely chess fanatic. He is the best in the world though, that should make up for it.
@@Falquiboy How can you tell he has given up his life goals when you have no clue about the father's life goals.. That's like me claiming that "you've given up on your dream, Faberho", without knowing what you dream to achieve.. Get it?
His dad didn't think that a five year old being able to concentrate for hours was special? Getting a five year old to concentrate for five seconds is special.
concentration is always there, some use it while painting, some for reading stories and some use it when playing... It is natural for kids if they get excitement from something they are doing
it isnt hard. When a kid is young,they know nothing. You can teach them anything from sports to quantum physics,theyll be attentive. Its also the age period where brains absorb most basic knowledge like being able to speak a language.
A young child can focus obsessively on something if they associate joy or excitement or intrigue with it. Unfortunately, so many skills or subjects are framed negatively to children and they simply cannot associate positive emotions w those subjects and they will reject them.
That's the beauty of his intuitive parenting. By treating the innate abilities of his child as normal the child grows as a down to earth person without superiority complexes. A person who is just being without the urge to prove his superiority. He just wants to do what he likes.
Imagine, Magnus's elder sister was getting angry whenever Magnus wins the game against her. She did not know she was losing chess games against future best chess player in the world...
imagine the doubts she had about her self, like calling herself stupid and bad at the game because her lil bro who learned chess later than her and is younger than her is just killin' it
That's what is wrong with chess. It's all about destroying your opponent. Go on the other hand is gracious, you are always to treat the other player with respect and courtesy. It's a game of give and take, a game of sharing. :)
When I was five I was able to read pretty fast, knew the alphabet, most of the animals, many many nursery rhymes. Besides, I was already in the 1st grade. It's not unusual
Magnus has no danger of becoming ill in the way Bobby Fisher had. The issue is that Bobby lacked the supportive family and the integration with friends and other interests. Magnus has a more solid footing in the world, which shows in his humility and thoughtfulness towards others. Madness does not come from playing chess at this level per se, but from anything for which an individual has poor coping skills exposing them to more chronic stress. Bobby had not achieved the necessary internal internal integration to understand where chess fit into his sense of self in the world of people.
Most probably genetics. Bobby's mother was diagnosed as "stilted (paranoid) personality, querulent [sic] but not psychotic." His most probable biological father Paul Nemenyi was a genius but had mental issues. He would always carry soap with him, always washing his hands (OCD). The Jewish family services considered Nemenyi somewhat of a paranoid type. So Bobby inherited genius and mental illness.
"Death On February 11, 2015, Simon died after suffering severe head trauma and a broken neck in a car crash on the West Side Highway of Manhattan, New York City. His for-hire driver had lost control, resulting in a collision with another vehicle. Simon was extracted from the roof of the limo by rescue workers and transported to St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, where he later died. The for-hire driver, an Afghan immigrant named Abdul Reshad Fedahi, who survived the crash had reportedly had his driver's license suspended nine times between November 2011 and the time of Simon's death."
And 11 years later , he has completed chess by finally winning the World Cup. The greatest in the history of chess . His legacy will bever be forgotten.
That's not a nicety, it's a tradition. That's how the beginning of a game is signified. It's like bowing to your opponent in martial arts. It is done regardless of circumstance or kindness. To not do so would be extremely disrespectful and would likely incur a lot of hatred and loss of respect for the player who acted that way.
The whole section with Kasparov is misleading. In reality, Kasparov was quite enamored by Magnus' skill, and flew down to Norway to spend some time with his family. Years later, Kasparov would coach Magnus for a year, ironing out some of his aggressive tendencies, while sharpening his instincts for piece dynamics. Kasparov has stated his approval of Magnus as the ambassador of the game, and feels he should absolutely be in the conversation for best ever. The insinuation that Kasparov feared or reviled Magnus is a fabricated storyline by CBS.
@@siphillis I did not get that interpretation from the program. Kasparov simply offered the draw and time running out, Magnus accepted. Kasparov then simply got up and walked off, taken by the youngsters play (as evidenced by the head shake during the game). At the time, Kasparov would not fear anyone sitting across from him at a chess match, and would not give a child enough thought to revile him.
Yeah, you're not supposed to speak during tournament play, so I don't know what they were on about with the whole "he didn't say hi" thing. He wouldn't have said hi if he was playing any other person.
nah,u can be good at chess even if ur not that smart i mean u have to be alittle smart for analyzing the games u play and the rest is just about dedicating time to it
@Epic Terry Very ignorant comment. Chess can help anyone to become a more strategic and deliberate thinker. Increase that skill can half positive ramifications in all manners of your life.
The one trait that all top GMs have is a superior memory. There's so much opening theory that they have to retain that an average memory just won't work. Fischer and Kasparov reputedly remembered EVERY game they ever played move by move.
+DontTouchTheWatch that's why you will never be successful. you think genetics are the reason people are successful. the kid can't even look at a beautiful view without thinking about chess. it's a habit, he thinks about it all day. he isn't lazy like you bitch
+DontTouchTheWatch What a sad world you made yourself think to live in... With your mindset you basically create an easy excuse for yourself to not work on yourself and become the best person you could possibly be.
I rarely play chess, and never watch it. I don't even know why I clicked this video. I can say though, that after watching this vid I'm a Magnus Carlsen fan now. This guy is pretty amazing.
Yeah it's odd I seen players get nosebleeds due to chess. Also they say they dream of playing chess while sleeping. It's mentally demanding more than anything. It's more addicting than drugs.
bruceliem it's true . I haven't devoted my life to it , but I play at least once on my phone daily and there's certain moves that keep repeating in my mind and it becomes a mental habit .
Simple correlation, more likely. Geniuses are neurally atypical, and neurally atypical people are vastly more likely (though not guaranteed) to also be neurally dysfunctional (in some ways if not others). Even if Bobby Fischer had never played a game of chess in his life, he probably still would've suffered delusions as he aged.
brucelism, that's pretty much all sports. In order to excel at a certain hobby, game or sport, it must become an obsession or an addiction. Most high level competitors in any field are practically thinking about it 24/7.
The part I enjoyed the most was how good his dad is at explaining how it is to help his son with everything. It probably takes everything the man has but it must also feel pretty good to be responsible for letting this genius flourish!
It’s painful to see someone as sophisticatedly gifted as a chess grandmaster being complimented with such an empty pop culture tween buzzword. It’s like twerking to Mozart.
@@zacharyjohns1157 People these days don't appreciate that level of intellect, sadly, these days it's more about talking like an uneducated person(sup man?), type with letters not words(like r or u) and lack the will to learn and improve. At least amongst the younger population.
Is it just me that thinks that one of the reasons magnus is so incredible is that he's always practising, and I don't mean on chessboards. If you notice throughout the interviews, and it's especial prominent in the last one, he answers really quickly to questions that follow on from other ones. Like he's predicting what he'll be asked, and so already knows what he'll answer before it's said. I think he's practising all day, every day, and that's kinda crazy to think about
Only criticism I have of this video is how they portrayed Kasparov as this cocky disrespectful player who showed up, lost and then left. First of all, he and Magnus had played before, this was just the first time it ended in a draw. Second of all, Kasparov actually went on to win the tournament, having won all games except for thr draw against Magnus. Shaking hands and leaving is standard Chess behavior. He is concentrating, so Is Magnus. Its an exhausting game especially at that level they play. Its not that he is treating Magnus with Disrespect. Its that He treats Magnus like a tough opponent. Not a kid but a player. Kasparov also went on to Coach Magnus for about a year and to this day speaks incredibly highly of him. Similar to the actual clip on youtube about this match, Kasaprov is played out as this smug, arrogant player who cant beat the underdog. Which is done solely for dramatizing Other than that this was a great video! Especially the interveiwer was great
True. And the narrator pissing at Kasparov for not saying "hi" or "good job". Shake hands, stfu and play the game is all your suppose to do during a tournament game
It's crazy because it's not just chess. The guy has the insane talent to have 100% focus for hours on something. You can do even more than just play chess well but he doesn't have to because he is doing what he enjoys most and still makes a living from that, what a chilled life, man. Speaking out of respect, not envy.
I've played blindfolded against one opponent before and I won but to play against several opponents simultaneously is just genius. It's just next level. Truly he's Mozart of the chess.
He is super nice of a guy. The way he held the door behind for the camera guy to enter,in that age, it is just amazing too,in addition to his memory skills and chess abilities.
I dont follow pro chess that much, I only play it as a hobby and Im not even that good. But I have huge respect for this guy. Hes a genius, like a real life Lelouch. Hes the best at what he does and hes very confident but not arrogant. Sometimes prodigies just happen.
@@jemmocortes3017 It is not. His father is humble and has clearly thought about his son's abilities. Making a comparison to an artist is a great analogy. You can take it further even. Watch the pool masters play or any sport that requires your intellect. They are not smiling, just focused.
Similarities: they both played simultaneously, both stood up during a game, both were beating adults at a very young age. I really do think the writers were inspired by him
If you look up Bobby Fischer the similarities are even more significant. Both American who successfully upended the Russian dominance in chess during the Cold War period, both a little crazy, etc.
Wow Kasparov treated him like shit. He should have hung out with him for the day and discussed chess for a little bit maybe taught him a secret trap or something. That probably would have meant a lot to a young kid.
Garry Kasparov was a little cold during his game, but after the game he told the press that he was actually losing but he just managed make it a barely make it a draw. he actually mentored Magnus Carlsen after the game because he was very impressed.
"He is the star, as celebrated in this world as Eli Manning is in his" Kind of a random person to compare to Magnus. Eli is not even the best QB in his own family
This looks like it was posted in February 2012. Giants had just knocked off the Pats in the SB for the second time, Eli had 2 rings and was still young.
@@robertszablowski5802 how about engineering, science and everything else? The comment meant intelligence, and even if it was what you thought, then still, our passions, dedication, behavior and pretty much everything about us is based on what happened to us in life

It's not about memory, it's about having a high IQ and being a genius. Sure, opening and endgame memorization are important at a top level. But he is not #1 because of his memory. He is #1 because he's the smartest, and no matter what kind of problem he comes across on the board, he can use logic and reason to solve it, usually.

If you notice throughout the interviews, and it's especial prominent in the last one, he answers really quickly to questions that follow on from other ones. Like he's predicting what he'll be asked, and so already knows what he'll answer before it's said. I think he's practising all day, every day, and that's kinda crazy to think about
Yes, he reads books about chess before he sleeps. He thinks about chess 24/7
Only criticism I have of this video is how they portrayed Kasparov as this cocky disrespectful player who showed up, lost and then left.
First of all, he and Magnus had played before, this was just the first time it ended in a draw. Second of all, Kasparov actually went on to win the tournament, having won all games except for thr draw against Magnus. Shaking hands and leaving is standard Chess behavior. He is concentrating, so Is Magnus. Its an exhausting game especially at that level they play. Its not that he is treating Magnus with Disrespect. Its that He treats Magnus like a tough opponent. Not a kid but a player.
Kasparov also went on to Coach Magnus for about a year and to this day speaks incredibly highly of him.
Similar to the actual clip on youtube about this match, Kasaprov is played out as this smug, arrogant player who cant beat the underdog. Which is done solely for dramatizing
Other than that this was a great video! Especially the interveiwer was great
They did Kasparov dirty
Yes and him being late was due to not seeing that they changed the starting time.
great addition, thx. unfortunately dramatizing stories is more rule than exception in these times.
True. And the narrator pissing at Kasparov for not saying "hi" or "good job". Shake hands, stfu and play the game is all your suppose to do during a tournament game
"watching paint dry" damn didnt need to call me out that hard, procrastinating really knows no end
It's crazy because it's not just chess. The guy has the insane talent to have 100% focus for hours on something. You can do even more than just play chess well but he doesn't have to because he is doing what he enjoys most and still makes a living from that, what a chilled life, man. Speaking out of respect, not envy.
Reporter: "That was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen"
Magnus: *laughs*
12 years later, Mozart becomes the Magnus of Music.
My brain: why are we watching this?
Me: I can’t stop
47:01 mins missing.
I've played blindfolded against one opponent before and I won but to play against several opponents simultaneously is just genius. It's just next level. Truly he's Mozart of the chess.
No. Actually no. Once I played a simultaneous game with 4 other guys and the opponent was just an FM.
"He has a very deep understand of chess".

- "A is the first letter of the alphabet"
He is super nice of a guy. The way he held the door behind for the camera guy to enter,in that age, it is just amazing too,in addition to his memory skills and chess abilities.
I dont follow pro chess that much, I only play it as a hobby and Im not even that good. But I have huge respect for this guy. Hes a genius, like a real life Lelouch. Hes the best at what he does and hes very confident but not arrogant. Sometimes prodigies just happen.
code geass 😂
cancer police. GearsOfWar
lelouch was pretty arrogant though xD
i think lelouch is more like Garry Kasparov. They both have the same kind of arrogance. but magnus is pretty humble in nature
Hello fellow otaku
Just learned to play this week and I'm absolutely hooked! Can't stop playing on my phone and binge watching chess videos.
Dad made a great analogy comparing chess players to an artist or a writer. Perfect.
2:19
"as celebrated in this world, as Eli Manning is in his"
that quote made me realize what exact year this was made as a Giants fan
"So u enjoy it when u see ur opponent squirm? Yes I do"
great quote from the father @10:45
+Jordy R I agree
Is this sarcasm?
@@jemmocortes3017 It is not. His father is humble and has clearly thought about his son's abilities. Making a comparison to an artist is a great analogy. You can take it further even. Watch the pool masters play or any sport that requires your intellect. They are not smiling, just focused.
u r also not smiling while having sex, which is a great think 😉
*so this is what shaggy's 100% power unleashed looks like*
Magnus Carlsen isn't Mozart of chess, he's the Magnus of chess.
Magnus in Latin means “Mighty” or “Powerful”. Coincidence? I think not.
He'll never go mad like Fisher. He doesn't have the temperament. Even as a kid you could see the darkness in Fisher. Magnus is an easy going genius.
I’ve been recommended by youtube and just like that I’ve started to know this guy just under a minute...
"He has a very deep understanding of chess."
Go on...
He is exactly like harmon in The Queen's Gambit Netflix series...
he's not tho
Whats the similarity
Other than theyre both chess GMs
Similarities: they both played simultaneously, both stood up during a game, both were beating adults at a very young age. I really do think the writers were inspired by him
If you look up Bobby Fischer the similarities are even more significant. Both American who successfully upended the Russian dominance in chess during the Cold War period, both a little crazy, etc.
8:16 Kasparov looked back like “who was that kid” 😂
Magnus: "Yes, I do - I uh, I enjoy to see my opponent suffering"
Hikaru: *Proceeds to get deep in despair in the background*
Wow Kasparov treated him like shit. He should have hung out with him for the day and discussed chess for a little bit maybe taught him a secret trap or something. That probably would have meant a lot to a young kid.
Kasparov is a dickhead.
1. Fischer
2. Capablanca
3. Carlsen
4. Morphy
5. Alekhine
6. Maybe Kasparov
911Gameover Kasparov trained Magnus for some time. He also did spend time with him as a child-- showing him a few tricks. There's a video of it.
Kasparov is all about the mind games, arriving late, being rude, trying to tilt opponent. Magnus too good to completely fall victim to it.
Well that's just silly. Kasparov is a tool but clearly at the top of that list.
He did hang out with Carlsen some time later and taught him a bit.
Bruh I have trouble even recognizing a check.
Chess is a dangerous game. One can go mad trying to comprehend its vastness.
"Why do old people want to talk with little me?"
I love his father's writers, painters, and chess players analogy.
Hans Niemann doesn’t have a video because chess speaks for itself
He just won Game 6 in the World Championship... wow longest game ever too
2022 & stillllllllll the world champion. Gawd level....
Garry Kasparov was a little cold during his game, but after the game he told the press that he was actually losing but he just managed make it a barely make it a draw. he actually mentored Magnus Carlsen after the game because he was very impressed.
That standing up during the game is also a part of chess move for Magnus ..
It is difficult to not let you affect that as a opponent
i am the mozart of laziness .
😂
"He is the star, as celebrated in this world as Eli Manning is in his"
Kind of a random person to compare to Magnus. Eli is not even the best QB in his own family
This looks like it was posted in February 2012. Giants had just knocked off the Pats in the SB for the second time, Eli had 2 rings and was still young.
Allahu akbar
@@NikhilMathew122333 good bro you have praised your creator
IM Levy Rozman more celebrated in the chess world than Eli Manning is in the football world.
It's not even clear that Eli will make the Hall of Fame.
Imagine what the world would look like if just 1 in 1,000 people had minds comparable to his.
+Harry Potter You obviously arent that 1/1000 person
Being good at chess would no longer be prestigious. Good think we don't live in such a world.
Simon Carlile Genetic engineering will accomplish that and more very soon!
8 mio people would be just excellent in chess. Thats all about it.
@@robertszablowski5802 how about engineering, science and everything else? The comment meant intelligence, and even if it was what you thought, then still, our passions, dedication, behavior and pretty much everything about us is based on what happened to us in life
I’ve always told me children in choosing a career is to see what they’re good at/ what comes easy to them . And what they love. This young man found the understanding at a very early age. Bravo!!!😊
Wonderful video!
He, and his father, seem like really good people.
A year after this video uploaded, he became the world champion.
Not only is he best at chess but also at smiling
3:28 Magnus looks like a character in a horror film.
We tend to memorize what interests us.
It's not about memory, it's about having a high IQ and being a genius. Sure, opening and endgame memorization are important at a top level. But he is not #1 because of his memory. He is #1 because he's the smartest, and no matter what kind of problem he comes across on the board, he can use logic and reason to solve it, usually.
12 Years later and still number 1
He is quite an interesting character - I mean, he just sort of casually wins every match.
Kasparov usually a sour person, but he actually went on to coach Carlsen to number one rank in history (taking over Kasparov's record).
