*YESS*

Naaaw, not really worthy of pin of shame

I like how Magnus does an opening quiz on weird unpopular openings, calls them all trash, and then beats a gm using one of them
One of the best gm in the world too, not some low elo gm
@@lillemy5062 he isn't
@@onniruusunen9444 wym
@@onniruusunen9444 better than you at least
@@door9875 yes he is better than Onni Ruusunen
that's not the point
he is not one of the best in the world
Magnus really took the "stop playing a4 h4 nonsense" to heart
who said that? I remember someone said it but not who
@@teodorul9280 nepo said it after winning the candidates
@@lia-ym3se ohhh yea you're right, I remember thx
He needs to play a4 h4 in the WCC
@@Ronaldo-eu1nz way to waste 10 seconds of my life
To be fair, I’ve never lost to magnus Carlsen with the sodium attack.
Same ngl
r/angryupvote
Omg me neither
I've never lost to him at all
You talking about sodium attack? The guy has never beaten me with his Catalan bro.
Wait, Sodium's abreviation in Na, and the move is Na(3).
That's a pretty creative and interesting name for an opening. If only the opening wasn't so stupid
N for Nightking
@@billumnbvc4608 N a3 for the place the knight move…
@@billumnbvc4608 so Na3
Theres also the Ammonia attack NH3
Should it be like trisodium or something? Idk I’m not a chemist
Sodium Attack = 1. Na3. Sodium Defense = 1...Na6.
Lots of sodium on the board
Na3, Na4, Na4 = Hey Jude
I would probably say Na to this opening
@@khytron06 Me:Sf14
1. Nh3 = Ammonia Attack. 1. Nh6 = National Highway (India) counterattack
I love the name "Sodium Attack". Because the opening is so dumb it can make your opponent say "Na" three times before flipping the table with a pinch of salt.
also Knight A 3, in chess notation Na 3. Na.
Sodium Attack: Chloride Variation
You're salty lol
Just eat a baNaNa if this ever happens
@@bananapotato9926 Exactly what I was thinking the moment I saw the thumbnail and title
"It's not a blunder, it's a book move." - Me in a conversation showing my brother this opening
I am appalled by this crab slander. The crab is a great opening that carried me through 12 grades of chess clubs until I decided to learn chess & take all the fun out of the game
The fact that magnus learned this opening just yesterday
Considering his weird Bongcloud Variation where he pushes his C and F pawns, then plays moves with the aim of switching the position of his King and Queen...this is a pretty credible opening, especially for a Blitz game.
I knew the opening from day one
He knew the opening and he has played the opening before, but he might not have knows the name. This game was played during candidates
Bro that video of Magnus Howell openings test is pretty old one. It was uploaded of Magnus' channel just now but it's around the time of early pandemic.
For me, this is an example of how watching professionals play each other can distort your perspective. Watching pro NBA players, you start to appreciate the subtle differences between them, and you think that the variation in skill is minute, but significant. And with chess, maybe it's just better prep? Who has a better memory for long sequences?
And then you see the odd video of a pro play at a playground, and they are effortlessly making shots from incredible distances, and you see how amazing they really are.
I'm not saying Naroditsky is street-ball league, but I sometimes forget just how incredibly good Magnus really is. But watching him play against non- super-GM is like, '. . . oh, yeah, I see now. Sorry about that, I kinda forgot.'
Magnus toyed with him too, not only with knight a3 but also there's no way in hell Magnus missed rook d3. He's just too good
@@NoctuaOW Why can't he miss it? He is best player alive, but in humans. He is not stockfish. If he were to find all the best moves, he would have countered rook d3 instead of playing a3. He doesn't underestimates his opponents.
@@NoctuaOW Nah, even Magnus misses things. There’s a game where he blundered a knight fork of his rook and king, like a bozo 700. He’s not Stockfish.
Yeah, like, the thing with Naroditsky is he shares so much of his knowledge and so understandably on his YT channel. You get a lot of games from him when he plays really principled chess, then finds some alien line a 2000 or under could never see in their dreams, and wins an opponent easily with that line or some variation he adapts into on the fly if the opponent is playing especially well. Enter super GMs, who see those same lines as Danya, and more, counter them with ease, and often when two enormously good players who give each other absolutely nothing, they win with a sheer grind. Positioning, forcing an error or inaccuracy, making an occasional non-move if there's nothing to improve... heck, the difference often seems to come to something like one pawn push that shouldn't have happened, but super GM forced you to do it. That's enough for a seemingly narrow endgame win, but the super GM likely found that win 10-15 moves prior. This is completely different world to normal person's internet chess. :D
@@NoctuaOW you don't toy with people by blundering into a drawn endgame lol
I like how everyone implies being magnus is an advantage in every position Levy said : "how do you evaluate a position? Well if your name is Magnus and your last name is carlsen you are probably winning". Also Robert Hess when asked by Danny Rench who wins an equal endgame replied "Somehow, Magnus Carlsen"
Just watched the intro but I gotta say I never shuffled my pawns back and forth didn't even know you can do that
Pawns can’t go back XD
Hahahaha great comment
You learn something new everyday
Touche
@@lionlegend3897 they can, it's calles "en tardant"
Please note that Magnus's Rook at a1 is considered trapped and useless most of the time (6:20 to 11:40). So Magnus is fighting down a Rook nearly the whole game and Daniel can't do anything lol
Magnus says to Naroditsky that he missed rook d3 after the match, he also looked a little confused right after it, as if he was thinking “did I really not see that?”
You have to have a certain kind of mindset, wake up on a certain side of the bed, to play the sodium attack.
Magnus is that kind of man.
You are a kind of man who is stupid, unfortunately.
for GMs:
Breakfast: En Passant
Lunch: Opponent's blunder
Dinner: Smothered Checkmate
I hate how I found Rd3 the instant you said "there is an incredible move" but i can't see that my queen is hanging with 30 minutes on the clock
I loved how you said on 1:45 about the normal game with just that minor glitch with the knight
1.Na3 is the Durkin, Championed by Robert "Bob" Durkin. I played him a few times in southern NJ tournaments in the 70's and early 80's. I have seen him credited in sources like MCO or ECO. If i recall he was a USCF rated expert (
Yeah but sodium attack sounds more fun init
@@larskerkhof8835 Having an opening named after a person is rare. Meeting that person over a chessboard, win, lose, or draw has more significance.
The fact that Magnus converts an equal complex endgame to a win with 30 seconds on the clock when many others would've failed to win this position in classical... that dude is no GM or Super GM, he should have his own title. Greatest player in chess history.
I mean his opponent has 30 seconds too
I think that title happens to be “World Champion”
@@andrewbailey7045 ...at literally no aspect of the game but okay buddy
@@foreverinvaliduser na it’s equal at the very least bc Bobby anthem didn’t have these super computers to practice or study on… Bobby still has candidates records that might not ever be broken… also Gary was ahead of his time
@@andrewbailey7045 No World Champion was worse than the previous World Champion, except for Euwe.
This is unironically my favorite Magnus recap channel
Gotham, you are giving off real "front of the store muscle for the mafia who is set up in the back office of a jewish deli" vibes and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible.
"1. Na3 is based"
-Sun Tzu, Art of War
I can feel it too 🙂 the ferry chess dust when I used to play my coach. Already on move one. I felt lost even though the game hasn't started yet 😭
"Shuffling your pawns back and forth" 😂😂
just realized why it's called sodium attack lmao
Crab commentary at 3:49 got me. LOL.
The rd3 missed move by Daniel is smth I would expect to see in a Dubov game
"when magnus plays a move you don't ask questions. you just go oh wow "
At 15:31 you mention moving White pawn B4 to B5 but it's actually at B3 and cannot move to B5. That reduces the fatality. Love your work!
0:09 Ahhh Yes, Shuffling pawns back and forth is a very good choice, might as well try it later.
4:07
One of the best advice for chess, this also applies to alot of things in life
If you play super serious against someone who is not serious then losing will hurt much more than if you play not serious against not serious
just one question, how exactly does one shuffle their pawns back and forth? once they go forth they can't go back
Says you.
0:10 I really like to shuffle my pawns back and forth.
“Shuffling pawns back and forth” love the content keep it up
Idk if you are still making videos on specific players, but if you are, could you make a video about Milan Vidmar, he was a top 10 player in the early 20th century and many top players of that time, like Capablanca for example said many good things about him. He was a very good chess player, but as many have called him an amateur becuse chess wasn't his only thing, he was an engineer, wrote books,... He was 1st GM in Yugoslavia too.
"Just shuffling PAWNS BACK aand forth"
Ah yes, Magnus Bleglegleh, one of the most people of all time.
Pp
Sodium, Kadas, Crab and Englund the goofy opening squad
3:30 the issue with not pushing the pawn is you allow white to play queen e2 and white has a good position… surprisingly
makes me smile when levy says theres a tactic and i immediately spotted rd3 while the two gms missed it under time pressure
yeah but would you have spotted it in a situation where someone hadn't just told you that there's a winning move you can make
@@jezuschryzt no hell way. i am always the one down time playing blitz and in this endgame i for sure wouldnt have spotted it under 20secs on clock
Bong cloud vs the sodium attack in the same game
I was just watching David's video with carlsen where David gives magnus a opening quiz and guess the openings name I was wondering why carlsen didnt play those in his online games and there he goes 😂😂
Levy going full Cherry Grove 1978?! Impressive throwback look.
I'm waiting for Magnus to at some time play h4, a4, whatever against Nepo
Shuffling pawns back and forth?? Levy going nuts watching guess the elo gamess!!
I didn't know you could 'shuffle pawns back and forth' 🤣
That damn black ice 😂 turned the board into a knight slip 'n slide 😂
This man woke up that morning and said "lmao what if I played the funny chemistry element opening against this guy"
4:00 is so accurate it's scary. When I got back into chess I played the Sodium exclusively cause I'm chunni and everything has to be done like Rock Lee with weights on. I got up to 1200 rapid before my opponents began punishing the opening even a little bit. There's a couple excellent salty messages from people saying "(they) only lost because (I) played a bad opening and they didn't know how to handle it."
The salt line is a salt MINE.
What's a chunni?? If that Rock Lee reference is from Naruto, then surely you meant chunin (中忍: middle ranked spy in fictional works about medieval Japanese spies).
@@user-un-known sorry for the confusion, i was shorthanding Chūnibyō
Highlight of my day: i found the Rd3 move that both Daniel AND Magnus missed in about 10 seconds.
absolutely yes on the anish-magnus game
The fact that I saw rd3 is craaaazy I'm still in the 3 digits group. Probably saw it for the wrong reasons but still
Same and i'm 1200
Mastercrafter come on if you found that then what are you doing in the three digits? Go grind some rating points and come back here when you're 1100
@@bullymaguire632 imagine gatekeeping a 3000 year old game played with tiny statues on a wooden board.
@@ethantrottier3330 you didn't understand what I meant, what I was trying to say is they have the potential to reach 1100 if they found that move, better do it now than leave it for later when you're rusty
@@ethantrottier3330 That's not gatekeeping. Stay away from that word if you don't understand it. Why yes, I am gatekeeping gatekeeping.
**Highlights bishop and pawns**
Levy: This blob of pawns
The Bishop: Why am I here? Just to suffer
1:50 key and peele black ice reference
12:30 I ACTUALLY GOT IT IM NOT EVEN JOKING OMG LOLLLLLLLLLL
Just adressing the elephant in thee room, Magnus Carlsen has not beaten me with this attack once.
You > Magnus Carlsen confirmed
Ware crab? Ehh I gave up on THAT one a while ago, a4, e5, a5, d5 however, very good at 000-700 level.
I always find those moves Gotham asks for
"Shuffling your pawns back and forth"
~Levy Rozman, International Master
Is there footage of the game on RUclips/Twitch somewhere? I'd love to see what it looked like in real time.
Is there a video live of these games between them?
I can't believe I found Rd3. I mean I would've never if you didn't tell me there was a tactic, but I'm still glad I spottet it, and it was my first guess.
has to be fearsome to fight against somebody that has such an incredible accuracy on endgames like magnus man
Also called the Durkin Attack after Bob Durkin of the Shore Knights Chess Club, Ventnor NJ.
I played him in a team match. We were 2nd board. He was 1900 at the time and I 1600. (even numbers btw)
Our team, Stockton State College was a man short. Minus one point.
With trembling hand, I played f4, the Bird's opening. Withing 20 moves I blundered a knight.
I was in trouble until he thought to pile up a triple cannon on me when he could have straight out won by force already.
My team captain said he went into autopilot.
With that one tempo I managed to turn things around and on move 40, I forked his K and Q with a pawn on d5 and F5.
Somehow our 3rd board fish got a draw (no less surprising than my game). Our first board had good chances, could have drawn and it would have been a great day for the underdogs with 2-2, but alas, we lost.
That’s the opening I always play
0:10 my lawns never moves back bro which app should I use
Levy: Magnus! Please never play h4 again!!!
Magnus: ... ok sure ...
Been shoulder pressing a lot lately. Levy? Make sure to hit some lateral raises, it'll really broaden out your frame.
Bless ya Levy! You seem to be happier!! Of course I’d just be kidding, if I chastised you about only claiming to give up competitive chess. I mean why are you doing all that exercising then? Hohoho! But I know what you meant. And I’ll keep on watching you no matter what your rating is or whether or not you’re competing. For me, you’re one of those who makes chess fun! Heck I might even get around to taking one of your courses! Hohoho!😊👍
I can't believe I waited for Gotham to upload to eat dinner XD
"It's this guy , it's his opponent, Magnus Carlson "
Levy you made my day with this title alone.
12:40it took me 20s to find this move sadly if I was in game I will never find it cuz you had to say "there is a good move here" for me to start searching
My fav tilt opening all pawns to 3rd(6th) rank(1600 rating blitz). Not so bad :D
Yeah, I found ...Rd3 and its follow-up in about ten seconds. That's the difference between playing a blitz game and a slower time control game; I would never have found it in a 3 min. blitz game. Yes, I found it quickly (even ten seconds can sometimes be lot in a blitz game!), but that was when It was informed that Black had a good move. In a classical chess game 90+30 or something similar, I would kick myself if I missed it, but that a completely different situation.
People don't realize how sick endgames are
“Shuffling Your Pawns”
We want a cover about the Rey Enigma VS Garry Kasparov game
Any Canadian Championship recaps planned? I'm intrigued by Ryan Campbell.
I can say with absolute confidence that I have never shuffled my pawns back and forth.
fun fact:The only animal to blink both eyes is the shark.
13:36
"This blob of pawns"
Also highlights the Bishop
*Sad Bishop noises
8:30 "I'm not saying he's Sandy." Of course not, you just said he was Daniel!
4:08 I didn’t need a personal attack like that
16 sodium atoms walk into a bar, followed by Batman.
6:42 - 6:51 "And this is just a massive improvement to the white position"
- Levy Rozman -
To be fair, 1. Na3 is the best-scoring opening move for White per chesscom.
The amount of satisfaction and dopamine that my brain released after correctly guessing rook d3 (albeit after 2 minutes of solid thinking) (as a 500 elo player) was amazing.
LOL. I just watched a video where Magnus got quizzed on ridiculous openings and this was one of them and at that time he didn't know WTF it was. This had to be after he did that video and he was like I'm going to beat a GM with this nonsense.
Jeez look at this CHAD and his ADONNIS rig
Don’t worry Levy you’d destroy Danya in overwatch
12:30 Do you know that moment where you feel like a god just cuz you see something that a GM didn't see it? That's how I fucking feel rn
I feel like im always under the sodium attack wether im playing chess or not.
you cant shuffle pawns back and forth since they cant move backwards
5:30 😂😂😂
Rook d3 is an amazing move! I found it too.
I like how humble you are with other chess players. Giving them much respect... but with all do respect to all those players, levy, you are by far one of the best chess players out there.
White should remanoeuvre the knight back to c3 to win a tempo of the black queen
