- Full story:
We (EPFL Chess club) organized a tournament before the Easter break, Thursday 14th April.
At 22:00 when we left the club, we saw that the logistics manager of the club sent us a picture of him with Magnus Carlsen at UNIL Sorge (university of Lausanne) metro station 2 hours before. We thought that it was a joke, then one of the participants who left earlier asked if it was possible that the World Champion was the guy he saw at the bar.
After rushing to this place (HC Tap House), we sat at the table next to Magnus and his friends, realizing it was real, and asked for a photo.
Then the treasurer brought a chessboard from the club and played a friendly blitz game with Damien, the winner of the Easter tournament (FIDE 2061, lichess 2600). At the end of the game Magnus and one of his friends suddenly moved to our table and the world champion challenged Damien. The rest is history! Note: We cheered after 2.a3 because it is Damien's (@SuperHumeanism) favorite opening.

#chess #carlsen #magnuscarlsen
Let’s just all stop and appreciate the greatest chess player of all time is playing drunk chess with a bunch of youths in a bar.
Living in this time is such a blessing for chess fans
Magnus Is a great guy. He Also makes good moves in poker
it's an honor to get crushed by magnus
That's like Lebron James pulling up to your local court. Insane!
Who?
Magnus seems like one of the coolest dudes in the chess scene, it's really nice to have a champ like him instead of the typical chess elitists. Props do Damien for playing so well!
It's one thing to be the best, but to be the best and do it in this style is outstanding. You cant help but root for him when he really is a man of the people.
Lol ikr, almost every present day IM, GM, or super GM is so cool unlike old age masters
@@jyotiradityashukla4569 Even in wildest dreams you can't imagine Botvinik, Kasparov, Korchnoi doing this. But there was another WC from the past, Mikhail Tal. Dude played random strangers if they asked even after becoming world champion and while playing he always spiced up things to entertain them. Garry mentioned this in his books.
so humble for how good he is, makes him the coolest imo
@Dominic Amoe Both are his true personality, just different aspects of it.
Glad to have a guy like Magnus as world champ, really kills all stereotypes about top chess players being a certain type of way
totally! magnus no.1!
it's intentional, he's a shy guy, but he tries to come out his shell, which is a hard thing for many
@Dominic Amoe fake personality, lol
@Dominic Amoe bro what makes you think chess players cant just be normal people
@Dominic Amoe OMG 😂😂😂
In Norwegian Magnus and his friend are mostly repeatedly saying "he's playing really fucking good"
And trashtalking magnus
And they are totally right!
@@chessbrilliance8783 Jupp can confirm
And in French, the crowd was on fire for their friend ! 🤣
Magnus is saying "he's playing better than what you would"
Drunk guy saying ” oh no he saw it “ was the best. Great game Damian!
after that someone says "he can see everything!" and somebody else replies: "thats cheating" lol
Yes we can all read subtitles
@@joelbilletski9428 but can we all take the slightest and minimal chance to unnecessarily act like a toddler and say something passive-agressive? i dont thinks so, congrats my man :P
@@octaviovillarreal4922 It's only nature. Just like every body needs an asshole, so does every youtube comment section. The universe is a cycle.
@@joelbilletski9428 rolled and smoked
This dude doesn't have to show this game to his friends at the bar.
Or the library.
@@nickmeyer1030 Hello Everyone !
@@nickmeyer1030 pause
Sorry about that
It was in this position
That kid was awesome. And he got a deeply cordial, double-handed handshake and an emphatic, "Good game!" at the end. That's a chess player's dream come true. Magnus is on the eve of his career and is showing that he's the greatest world champion there ever was.
So did you beat magnus? No BUT he told me gg and was I think he meant it! If I get to play magnus I’d be happy with that. Hell if I made him consider his next move for a few seconds I’d consider it a win
I prefer Bobby Fischer on the eve of his career.
on the eve of his carrer? =D he is still in his prime haha. Atm he is so dominant he even stated he has no more interest in classical chess because every tournament result other than 1st place is a disappointment to him. He sits a confortable 50 elo points minimum above everyone else and that for the last like 5 years or so.
@@lorenz2781 This was written a year ago when he decided to relinquish his world champion title. I thought maybe he was going to retire and start a family back then. And yes, he's playing some amazing chess these days and I'm glad he didn't retire. No doubt, the rest of my comment stands.
@@doomstarks182nobody just beats magnus
that guy was good enough to 1. get an advantage on the world champion 2. notice he was winning, started to get nervous and then fucked up.
Na, he just played the french opening so much that he knew all openings. When it came to the late mid/endgame Magnus took it like a pro
💯 😂😂😂😂
@@jonathanbosma2546 no, 3:53 it was the endgame and the guy was completely winning. Credit where credit is due
@@juanortiz9445 true guy faltered in the endgame
How this guy got ahead of magnus ? Magnus should Beat a 2000 rated player without his Queen
That guy put up a good fight. Then again, at 2061 ELO you could easily beat 99% of all players.
Not even close to 99%
This is 2061 OTB, not 2061 online. It’s likely very close to top 1% of all chess players. Considering the majority of people only know the rules or play casually.
@@varunsrivastava9748 idk man, 2061 is pretty damn high
@@varunsrivastava9748 2061 ELO is in the top 2% of all active tournament players
@@rolfabcd1 so honestly 99% is a whole order of magnitude incorrect. 99.95% at least if that's correct.
1:12
"Let's go Damien, you're mentally stronger."
Against best chess player all time and current world champion
What supportive friends he has! That would be cool. To have ppl like that to root for u even going against the world champ. No pressure tho xd
Mentally Stronger means less Drunk.
😂
Props do Damien's friend as well constantly encouraging his friend!
So cool to see Magnus playing drunk and enjoying himself while still come back from a losing position and demolishing a player capable of beating 99% of this comment section.
100% to be exact
@@lhagiduty he cant beat me
@@sriracha9729 it was only a matter of time before a guy like you comes along
@@bennitok5529 woosh😂😂
@@bennitok5529 lol guess what, I was expecting a butt hurt reply as well... 😂
When you are doing a side quest and suddenly the final boss appears
lol
😂
Being ahead going into the end game vs Magnus is a nightmare lmao
Being ahead going into ANY endgame is a nightmare for me. I just pray they resign and please don't make me try to mate with a bishop and knight :(
That moment Magnus really started concentrating that he would win the game.
@@darkmaste81 Humilation awaits for your bishop and knight 😂
When was he ahead? Pretty sure it was even material the whole time.
This is why he's the greatest champion. What an amazing ambassador for the game.
Because he's a drunk?
Wtf is this logic
@@Woodsaras no they are all drunk chess players are junkies , he s cool coz he plays against patzers
@@dreamxxx333mmm2 what
This is like, not something uncommon though....for it to be amazing you'd think that no other WC does this.
There are tons of GMs and especially IMs who dream of one day being able to play against Carlsen, online or especially in real life. Then some random guys in a bar get to do that just like that.
And extremely well, that dude played like a GM.
@@popdop0074 yup
Maybe it is better to go to the bar and wait till Magnus comes and will drink with you and give you a lesson...
nice seeing magnus chill and play drunk lol
That's most tournaments to be fair 🤣
Isn't he drunk every tournament
This is the sort of thing you would hear of Tal. It's great to hear the excitement in all those players' voices when the world champ plays an impromptu game with one of their friends just for fun. Carlsen really does have a "normal guy" vibe.
You can prevent brain cell death by playing chess while drinking beer.
-Magnus Carlsen
Maybe I'm reading into things here, but I feel like Magnus has way more fun when he can tell that everyone around him is actually just playing for the love of the game.
Without speaking the language, seems to me like this lot are just legit passionate and excited about chess, and seeing that passion get smiles out of Carlsen feeds my soul!
Yo damn I know it was just a friendly match but Magnus' opponent actually played really well.
Elo 2601
@@eavyeavy2864 Well that'd explain it!
@@isaakvandaalen3899 2061*
2601 is literally top 5% man hahaha
@@haziq12ish more like top .1%
Dr drunkenstein making a live apperance
This guy changed the definition of coolness in chess. He literally doesn't care...
Magnus opponent actually played pretty well... good game!
He lets you believe you have a chance.
best comment haha
No i don't think so . He was genuinely in trouble at some point because the guy found some really good moves. But started drifting at the end.
@@chessbrilliance8783 Magnus is an endgame god, the resistence he puts up is unlike any other chess player. Makes it really hard to convert even when you have a +2 advantage like this guy did. It's his pressure; he squeezes you.
Yeah my opponents are in trouble for most of my games and yet... The thing about chess is that you have to win to win.
@@MonkeyDIvan i was just saying that it wasn't done on purpose by Magnus.
Thats awesome that Magnus just plays random guys in the bar, you can tell he’s genuinely a great guy
He's playing the second greatest player in the world. Drunk magnus.
😀 😀
Magnus is just so darn classy. I love how he's role-modeling for younger generations, and I love that he let this lad have a fighting chance instead of crushing him.
give the guy some credit lol, magnus definitely wasn't tryharding but i don't think he was letting him have a chance either
in the meanwhile Magnus is drunk (maybe)
The lad is 2600 lichess he's pretty good
@@lma5508 2600 lichess is really fucking good
This dude plays impressively!
His name is Magnus Carlsen
@@yeahno3167 talking about Damien...
u missed the joke @@anomalyp8584
I'm around 1700 but this dude of 2061 is a great player. For real. He really stood up ! Gz Damien. Magnus is like a machine. Hard to deal with....
Watching scenes like these makes me understand why he gave up his WC title. He likes spontaneity and the joy of simply playing. Not all the preparation in advance
And dont forget the enduring looong games for days after days with same opponent.. Needs to be a better WC tournament for sure!
@@hoenircanute You guys speak like true laymen: clueless and pathetic. I completely agree with Karpow and Kasparow: The tournaments for the world title should be done in their 1980's mode again; play until a certain number of points/wins has been achieved, draws don't count. Yes, this could mean an insane number of games but in the end it would be very clear who the best player is beyond statistical variance. In the end it was very clear that Kasparow was better and not just due to statistic artefacts introduced by a limitation of the number of games or a Blitz tie breaker. That's all nonsense.
Carlsen is in that regard simply not disciplined enough. In contrast to most other chess players he has a lot of money, he does not need to play to make a living anymore, he also hates the outlook that he would have to play another 10-15 years at top level to be recognised to be as good as Kasparow or Karpow in terms of overall achievements.
His palmares in comparison to the "tournament winning machine" Karpow is fairly small, and he did not manage many of his other goals e.g. playing until he reaches 2900.
Even his peak rating is not worth as much as Kasparow's 2851 because of the Elo inflation which was not a thing when Kasparow reigned.
So he is in a very weird place of currently being the strongest yet not being all time top 3, not playing that many tournaments, yet also having a lack of competition at the moment.
He has no financial incentive to play very hard anymore. He hates the hardsips of his sport because preparation etc. is tough. He cannot reach 2900, and most of his previously tough competitors like Aronjan have suffered from a "nose dive" in competitiveness; Aronjan stagnated and regressed from a clear strong no. 2 position, playing a style that was really a threat to Carlsen, but suddenly not being able to consistenly challenge Carlsen like he used to be. So, Carlsen also feels he has no interesting competition while at the same time he was very lucky to become world champion in the first place since he did not qualify for his first title match by his own gameplay. It was Iwantschuk who gave him that chance. He also showed repeatedly to have weak tournament phases which ties into his obvious discipline and motivation issues. And he is kind of right that the world title matches are too frequent and that there is no constant mode.
So anyhow. He should quit chess altogether because his motivation is simply not right if he cannot cope with the harsh realities of his sport, the sport which made him very rich.
@@bobbwc7011 stop this shit!
@@bobbwc7011 lmao truly said like someone who doesnt know what they're on about. But good one mate
“ELO inflation” read: chess is more
competitive and higher quality yet Magnus is still number 1. And no, Magnus’ issue is not that he doesn’t want to play so many games - on Lex Fridman’s podcast, he said he’d prefer a format in which 100 games were played with as many as two games a day with an hour per player. He said that the number of games in the current format is too few and makes it harder to reliably determine the best player because chess tends to be a low scoring game.
I think that this is one of the reasons why Magnus Carlsen is loved by many.
A really fun, positive clip. Thanks for sharing!
Great video, appreciate the graphic showing the moves
A friend of mine was playng chess casually in a chess bar in Oslo. Then suddenly Magnus Carlsen showed up and started watching the games and hanging out. Apparently a really down to earth guy.
In Norwegian Magnus is saying:
"He is playing really fucking well"
"He is playing better than what you would have done"
He repeats it again near the end.
Very classy, and you can see his respectful handshake at the end too, clearly giving his opponent props for playing a great game.
Magnus in Dr. Drunkenstein mode.
that guy played really well and put lots of resilience. great work!
Magnus in "dr.drunkestein" 's version
damn he actually played so well against magnus, but magnus is just too good at endgame
I can't tell you how much I loved watching this!
Haha, love watching Magnus playing while drunk. He mostly kept saying "he plays damn well" 😂
He will be telling his grandkids that Magnus 'Wooooooo'ed at him twice
A true champion right there. Nice game to Damion.
Nice congratulations from Magnus at the end of the game for a great fight
2:09 "C'est compliqué, ouais" This whole situation is simply incredible haha
Translate plz
@@HarsH_1718 "it's complicated, yeah"
@@HarsH_1718 The fun part was that Magnus' opponent was saying "c'est compliqué", but Magnus understood it because he speaks a little bit of French thanks to one of his coahes/helpers Laurent Fressinet, who is French.
Awesome, Magnus! Please do these more often :)
Lasting so many moves against Carlsen is an achievement in itself. He should be proud of himself.
hes doing like agadmator says, showing spicy moves to his friends at the bar and the library
I love the little pat on the arm Magnus gave him while shaking his hand.
Ive never seen anybody being that excited about an a3 Sicilian lol that’s such a cool memory to have
Man, we have the coolest World Champion ever. How blessed are we!
Cant believe you have the video from 2061
That would be the coolest f'ing for Mag to show up haha
Magnum carlton
Carlos Magnussen
Incroyable comme histoire, il aura un truc à raconter pour le restant de ses jours. Bravo à lui
Tu sais c'était où ?
@@chrisd1541 A l'EPFL, Lausanne. Dans le bar "Taphouse".
That's the best I've ever seen someone play against magnus.
At first I hated Magnus, but I changed my mind about him. Now I think, in terms of what he's done for public relations, he's the best World Champion chess has ever had.
Ye chess is clearly a sport now, where u peak at 28 years old as in most sports both endurance, accuracy, tactic and stamina.
You gotta be kidding me. Kasparow literally introduced computer engines to chess and online databases, making the game accessible to millions of people more and making it compatible with the emerging internet. Kasparow is also the all time strongest player who was both controversial but also very supportive to chess players of all levels.
Magnus is a chess champion of his time, and he also made a lot of money with stuff previous chess players had no access to. And because he has all that money and because he does not like the hardships of his own sport, he shows these weird behaviors and tendencies of lack of motivation, despising elements of the sports etc.
Kasparow was in that regard a real product of the Soviet Union: Chess is tough, especially the preparation...deal with it, it's part of the sport if you want to be good.
The same kind of "hard grind mentality" led to the fact that Kasparow and Carlsen parted ways after a year of working together with Carlsen's father saying that Kasparow was a too hard of a worker for Carlsen's mindset. However, in contrast, Kasparow never ever showed signs of demotivation or lack of intrinsic drive while Carlsen can be a real moody bitch with really bad phases in tournament chess...because he hates the hard grind. Well, you cannot have the cake and eat it.
@@bobbwc7011 Kasparow was a jerk, though.
@@bobbwc7011 Oh come off it Kasparov did a lot but to claim he is responsible for the chess engines is laughable. Deep blue was coming regardless of who was champion at the time. And then you try to give him credit for internet chess? Fuck off lol youre clearly just a Magnus hater when he is the clear GOAT so you have to try to build up your boy with fake accomplishments like bringing internet chess and computer engines into chess which is made up bullshit. Magnus is the GOAT of GOATs and it will be even more clear in the future as he is still dominating
Man, Damien played like an absolute boss. Held his own against the 🐐!
Until he was raped to death.
I'd be proud to drag a 5 minute game like that, props to the young dude
Imagine playing someone so good that by the time they move their first piece, they’re uttering “we’re in the end game now” 😂 guy’s a machine!!
A drunk Magnus is a tricky Magnus xD
fantastic game against the best chess player on earth. Appreciate it! Kudos to Magnus, showing to be grounded
Merci c'était fun à regarder 👍
That's what I love about chess. Through sheer calculative prowess you can walk amidst Olympians. I could never stand in the ring with Mayweather or Mike Tyson, but anyone with cunning can fight the world's best on a board of 64
Man I want to get into chess, the community seems amazing.
Wow, so much fun seem a Magnus playing chill drinking beer. It's Human too :)
i like how they have arranged that "ChessClock"
Respect to damien, he played some really good book moves there... was going piece for piece with the greatest ever chess player. Obviously Magnus is cool asf... if you enjoy this then go watch his live stream, he just gets drunk with his friends and plays some of the best players in the world casually beating them 🤣
3:03 Lol Magnus mimicking his opponent 😂😂😂
that kid will never forget this night..
so good to see this side of magnus. otherwise you always see him in a very professional manner.
Wow! Fantastic game by an expert against Magnus. Great attitude by the GOAT as well :)
To wildly attack Magnus and then survive a Magnus counter attack is wild
Magnus is the coolest world champion among all the world champions in their particular field
I've never thought I'd see so many beers near a chess board ngl.
it looks like opponent played a good game against magnus, appreciate that.
When you’re sitting in an inn and suddenly a max level Worldboss spawns
amazing... the guy played super good and watch drunk magnus playing on a bar and having a good time is very nice to watch ^-^
dude actually played very well
I am always so impressed watching Magnus play
how does he randomly show up?
do you pray and he just spawns?
This is so cool in ways that I cannot describe.
Nrvvvvv il était tellement pas loin😭😭
No one can ever stop Magnus from promoting his pawn.
This video is so cursed that it is upright and horizontal at the same time.
It’s very wholesome though, and that guy played really well against magnus
Dr.Drunkenstein playing with the locals! Nice!
Magnus is REALLY DRUNK. look at how he castled queenside
what was the move to coninue the game at 4:56?
the endgame was a clinic on endgames
Kinda cool that their local hero (Daiman) got to play Magnus and put up a good fight.
Magnus having a time of his life playing his chess student
"Oh no he saw it" is my favourite line
That guy was at another level what a fun game to watch!
What's the best move for white at 4:56?
4:53 rook to e5 ?
Is that a move to consider? Because you threat checkmate if the pawn wants to convert to queen
Also Magnus: So who wants to play poker?
"ALLEZ DAMIEN !" Haha it was a good game wp !
Con que MAGNUS me de la mano soy feliz , pero ni borracho pierde ese xd
Magnus said " he was playing good very good."
at 4:55 before black took the full advantage, maybe Rf5 could maintain a draw? Quite difficult even without blitz. Rf4 maybe black has Nd3. maybe some perpetual going on? Anyone have any ideas?
Rf5 Rxf5 exf5 Nd3 Ra8+ Kd7 Rg8 looks like enough to draw, then if Ra3/Re3 Rf8 , then if Ke7 probably Rf5, in that position black is stuck defending the f2 pawn with his knight , and white will be able to pressure the knight with his bishop wherever it defends the pawn so my conclusion is that’s a simple draw (although I calculated this without a board so I might have missed something)
@@PeterM64 looks good to me, nice one
@@microwave0152 I just checked with engine and actually after re3 rf8 I forgot the f pawn is blocking the f8 rook's control of f1, so black is winning. turns out the draw is actually just repeating Ra8+ and Ra7+ because if the king ever reaches g7, Rg8 picks up the rook
Wow props to this kid for hanging with Magnus
