- Today is the day I reveal a little secret of mine. "The rule of the square" is something I learned about when I was a kid, but I didn't really get it. After all these years, I still haven't managed to understand the rule!
Luckily, you and I can both learn more about the rule of the square in my app, Magnus Trainer!

Hmm? Yep......But is that good value for your exchange of time! Nope...Will I Watch anymore of his videos....Nope! Or join his Chess channel Nope! But more likely buy one of his Chess books......Some styles of teaching are not classroom compatible....We must all have had some of those “teachers?” Which means teaching is Not You “learning”!

What did you expect from someone that doesn't know the rule of the square?
@@PJ-oq4mo I expect them not to make a full video about it called “The Rule of The Square”

The only crucial thing I understood from this video was that to never put the king and queen in the same Diagonal

Honestly, that's something I find the most fascinating. When people really master a skill, not just chess, the fundamentals become so ingrained that they arrive as a gut feeling rather than a conscious thought. I notice how much Magnus says things like "I feel" or "I intuitively knew". A lot of my favorite instrumentalists and people who are highly skilled at some other hobbies I have speak similarly. Can only put time in and dream of reaching that level of mastery in something!

@@AdityaKumar-ox3wz people only say this to make argument. Capablanca would get mowed down by anyone in the top 10 right now, let alone Carlsen, you can't compare players of the past with these guys. if in the future someone else comes along and beats Carlsen easily then they would be the best ever untill another comes along. chess players are only getting stronger with modern engines, past players are quickly outdated.

"Today I will give you a little secret, and fail to explain it at all. You're welcome"
He reminds me of a native speaker who can't explain the rules of grammar to someone who wants to learn his language.
Even if he didnt say what the rule actually is, I kinda got it anyway. Basically if he took the queen one move earlier the king would be taking the queen on the C file and be one square closer to H file and would be able to catch up with the pawn and take it as it became a queen, whereas now as he moved the queen back to B, the king was also in B file instead of C and had one square extra to move and not get to H file in time. I imagine this will be intuitive for most chess players at this level and not really having to remember the rule itself.
@@Johnsli Yes exactly. On the chess board there are the same number of squares vertically as diagonally; if a pawn has to move 5 spaces to become a Queen, and the king is 5 diagonal spaces away from its final spot, then the pawn can be taken.
So basically draw a square from your pawn’s position to where it can Queen. E.g. a 5x5 square. Is the king within that square? If yes, you’ll have to distract the King somehow, to get your pawn past.
Lol

Physics in a nutshell.
Literally did this in school sometimes. Absolute genius moments.
that's my friend who had to make our Physics teacher ask our Math teacher how she had solved a problem of generators or something she just gave us as a "prank", since we had not learned about them yet. meanwhile when asking for her help with a simple equation I'd be "I did just the exact same thing you did! how can the answer not match?!", she'd take a quick look, make a polite "so close!" face, then point to my notebook and "here. you put the wrong sign"

"I dont know what im teaching you, but im Magnus, so its brilliant"
Thought the same thing
0:27 "Someone tried to teach it to me when I was little but I didn't really get it." ...... well that rules out me having any chance of understanding it then.
the funny thing is, it's not complicated. just look at how many squares until the pawn reaches the end of the board, then make a square with that dimension to the left and to the right of the pawn, if the king is not in either square, the king cant catch the pawn
My understanding is that Magnus wasn't talking about square rule, he was talking about using offense with pawns instead of chasing the opponent's pawn.
Like he didn't get he could do that instead of square thing, but still somehow did that in real games he'd played without realizing.
The video isn't about the Square Rule. It's about alternative to square rule.
Very badly put video though.
"I'm going to teach you the rule of the square"
Proceeds to not teach it
He kinda demonstrated that it doesn't work sometimes, I think that was his point ..
The rule of the square worked, because it says the king cant catch the pawn and not you are winning the game
He did teach it. He just didn't know that's what it was called.
@@ich7me618 sigh .... He demonstrated that "even though his pawn was queening and the white king couldn't reach it (because of the rule of the square) white still had a way to win by marching he king to escort his own pawn" ...
@@TheHigherSpace My comment was just for comedic purposes. I think Magnus teaches something very interesting here, but it was funny to me that at no point he shows the famous "square area" that the pawn defines when trying to queen. He kinda just mentions the word "square" but doesn't reference its geometrical meaning.

Thats a double handshake

@@stefankljajic8771 haha, nice one bro
For those who get confused (like i did hahaha), the rule is about when you have a pawn you can promote and want to know if the opponent`s king can take that pawn, just imagine a diagonal to the end of the board in this way forming a square from that diagonal, if the opponent´s king is inside that square it means that that pawn can be taken otherwise if it´s outside of the square he can´t take it (Hopefully my explanation helps, please forgive me if I made grammar mistakes, my English is a work in progress hahaha) :)
I was about to be chess world champion like Magnus, but know I possess knowledge about the rule of the square and therefore I lost all my chances. Thank you, random stranger!
i refuse to think that magnus doesnt understand the rule. Dude is a god of chess and this rule is so simple. So maybe he's acting he doesnt understand to hook people into getting into the Magnus Trainer
Thank you!
Ur Endglish wuz saw ronge
That rule works unless the pawn is on its original position, since it can move forward 2 squares on its first move

So this is magnus, I’m back, and this time I’m gonna tell you a little secret. There’s this game called chess, and you play it by... well I don’t know how you play it. Someone tried to teach me when I was little but I never really got it
The rule of the square:
You draw a square from the pawn to where it promotes (in this case 6x6) and towards the file where the opposite king is. When its the pawns move: If their king is in that square, the pawn wont make it. If the king isnt in that square the pawn will make it and be able to promote.
Do u know what chess set magnus has used in this video?
Thanks
Of course, Magnus didn’t learn about the square, he learned the dodecahedron, apparently.
This comment is underrated
Sorry, but the rule of the dodecahedron is for 4 player chess.
He learned the tesseract rule

probably he ain't paying himself well
If you become a grand supreme elite legend fuckboi of beyblade and try to teach a scrub the dynamics of vertical thrust force in relation the spin of the blade, then you're going to find yourself coming up short a lot of the time.
Once you know SO much about something it becomes difficult to gauge where others are at - and this gap makes it hard to teach because you don't know what they don't know and you don't know what's appropriate for their level., since you might as well be teaching a 30 year old a tactic/motif you understood when you were five.
What does it take to teach? It certainly doesn't take being the best at the thing you're teaching.

“It’s about... I don’t know what it’s about!” - Magnus Carlsen
This is a very good educational video because it is perfectly clear that Magnus does understand the Rule of the Square, which is a very simple rule, and the video is driven by Magnus’s self-effacing sense of humour and fun. The game chosen illustrates the Rule perfectly clearly.
I agree but I can see why it would be confusing to someone who doesnt know what the rule is to begin with. They shouldve put in a little graphic explaining the rule although i suppose a simple google search is enough for the enterprising viewer
I agree. And not only that, the game he chose also provides a good example of why chess "rules" like the square can sometimes be ignored and still get a good result, as in the variation that he showed in which the white king could just ignore the past pawn and mate him faster than he could promote. As he says, there are no absolutes in chess, and this is why this is a very instructive tutorial
Magnus: I'm gonna teach you some things about chess.
Magnus, later: I don't know things about chess, why you asking me for?
Manhandling the pieces.
😂😂😂😂
baahahahhaha yes
That depressing music at the end fits damn well
The best part about this lesson is his humility in each potential position, and his frankness towards his opponent in the real position. He makes no arrogant claims, he also tacitly explains the nature of blitz games, honestly signalling that Grischuk would never find himself in that position - or make such a decision - with more time on the clock. The true lesson he buries inside his modest analysis of his own "Rule of the Square" understanding is that - as he puts it - nothing is absolute.
“I dont know the rule of the square, I just calculate it every single time”
Lemme teach you
1. Count the number of squares (including where the pawn) is to queening
2. Take that number as one side of a square and draw it horizontally on the board too, this will form a square
3. If the king can enter within that square in his next move, he is able to stop the pawn
@@Faust4541 GOD!
You just beat carlsen to dust.
@@Faust4541 let me re-teach because you don't need to count anything, you just go along the diagonal of the pawn to the end of the board and that's the limit
@@guinapovocals you mean diagonal of the king? Its the same thing, you need to visualise the square, experienced players dont need to count but im telling the unexperienced players how to count it

The music at the end makes it feel like it was Jesus talking
You mean it wasn't?
magnus christo
Rule of the square:
Draw a line from your pawn to the promotion square. Now draw a line of equal length left or right (towards the enemy king). That creates a square, and if the king cannot enter the square on their move, it cannot catch the pawn.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you. This is much better then calculating. Makes sense
Rule of Magnus: If it comes to an endgame and if you don't get flagged, then Magnus will promote a pawn and checkmate you.
My opponents are complaining that I draw on the board too much! 😜
Now I get it why he said he'd calculated the moves every time for 20 years lol. Thank you for the explanation!
Just follow up the diagonal to the 8th rank
Magnus's friends: hey magnus ,tell us how you beat that guy everytime.
Magnus: okay, let me tell you, i do not know.
Magnus's friends : bruh!
Simple, but helpful, specially the last little bit about long enough time controls. As I get older I find myself struggling more with blitz and bullet, but focusing on rapid and classical helps me keep good blunderproofing practices like this. Amazing how simple advice is best.
is it just me or didnt he actually explain what the rule of square is? i know it but a beginner probably wouldnt understand what he means
he should have drawn the square, then it would be clear... sqaure means at 6:31 a5 -> a1 -> e1 -> e5 -> a5. If the king is not inside the box he can not get the pawn.
He did say he didn't know it
I think what he meant to say was that he never believed in it 😂

Ricardo Milos 1842
I used to do that a lot but you have to believe
The rule of the square does in fact work. Knowing the system or rule of the square, cuts down on having to go through long calculation process
Is this a RUclips genre? I could get into tutorials where things are mentioned, ignored, and subsequently explained as unimportant. 10/10 I have no idea what the rule of the square is.
A bit late of a reply but the rule of the square is an actual thing. Basically if say the white h pawn is on h5, that means it is 3 squares away from promotion. What you then do is imagine a line from the pawn going (in this case) 3 squares to the sides, then 3 squares up. This will make a square. If the king is inside this imaginary square it can stop the pawn from promoting. If it's outside it it can't
Can't wait for the lesson on the Circle followed by the Triangle, this is exciting!

"There are no absolutes"
Jedi Master Magnus confirmed!
This is the most hilarious chess video on RUclips
For those that dont understand what he is trying to explain. Basically in endgames, you simply take the number of moves needed to promote a pass pawn, and form a square with the number of moves starting with the pawn as the bottom corner. (bottom left or right depending on the position). If the enemy king is in the square, it is able to capture the pawn, but if it is outside the square, the pawn promotes to a queen

Continue plz, never stop, teach us as often as you can...
I love Buddy
Hey Magnus, if you imagine a vertical line in front of your past pawn and make the square of that distance on the horizontal you get the square of that pawn. The king can never reach that pawn unless its inside this square. Thanks for teaching me that rule
U are an amazing buddy every single day I watch your matchs and I am learning from you 🖤
Today I will teach you how to play chess
The truth is
"I dont know how to play chess"
Is he telling the truth or trolling? I can never tell with him.
Who knew Magnus is so good at teaching. I liked his calm vibes
Im 1100 elo and i understood everything he said, he explained it very nice and clear and actually taught me to understand the importance of realizing the distance between king and a pawn, i don’t know what are you talking about that he didn’t explain it well enoguh but to me it was very clear..don’t forget this guy will be mentioned in history right next to Kasparov and Bobby as a true Da Vinci of chess and we are getting his lessons for free..That’s more than you could ask for as a chess fan.
Lol Magnus is real for saying this. I remember someone mentioning "the square" not too long ago either on some video or stream and Magnus said well he believed he intuitively understood it but never really learned it. At least he wasn't fake and said "Yeah, of course I know it. I'm the 🐐."
The outro reminds me of the Mr. Bean intro.
This rule is a bit complex at first but if you break it down by playing it out by yourself you will see the sequence. This is very helpful and I have won many games with this rule.
In layman's terms the square is the area of potential movement the king has compared to each pawn's starting location. It only takes 5 moves for a pawn to reach end board from first tile.
For example of a good mechanic when using the square fundamental is if the King is on EITHER of the outer 2 tiles and you have a pawn on the opposite edge, it can march right up to the end of the board before the king can reach it.
Essentially if you can bait the king to the outer 2 tiles and have a pawn waiting you can execute it following the rule of square.

I was so lost. I have almost replayed the video to see what I have missed until I read the comments 💙 I was not alone.
Finally! A channel of my chess idol! Wohoooooo! Will definitely stick to this channel from now on
I think the square is calculated by how many spaces the pawn is from promoting. It uses that distance as the sides of the square. If the enemy king is inside that square (or right on the line) after his move, you will not be able to promote. If it is just outside, run.
„I have to take and think later“ maybe i should try this too 😅
Checkmate now and think later. A really sound advice!

Hmmm? He did not show you he was playing thirty others at the same time, all looking to beat him using the square, because now they “know he does not know, what you know!”

Ryan Flanagan: Whelp, this is it bois, this is our religion
Hi would that second play you showed us not have saved him the game? Because the double pawn movement at 4:18 would have been the en passant rule where he takes the pawn on its first move through a square it could take it on? Or does that not apply if you have protection for the pawn moving through? Thank you for the videos!
Magnus is so great. Couldn't ask for a more humble, yet somehow omniscient, world champion
