He basically said Magnus was an almost unbeatable force. Magnus just went with the joke. Not a bid deal. The regret might come from the fact that Sauron stood strong.
He also addressed it in a reddit AMA 10 years ago, and I love his response even more: “I’ve never actually read Lord of the Rings…if I had, and Nakamura had been a better chess player, I might have been more insulted.”
Wouldn't that make Hikaru Saruman? In the perspective of Saruman respecting and drawing inspiration from Sauron's power, but still want to topple him? 😂
For anyone wondering about the meaning of Sauron, he is the evil dark lord in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings who plans on taking over the whole world (Middle Earth). Hikaru is basically referring to Cagnus as the dark lord through this reference. It's an evil, albeit powerful title 🗿🗿🗿
What a nerdy question to ask for a nerdy game. This is almost sketch comedy. Although I love chess, and am a complete nerd and dork. It’s funny that this was something he regrets!
You know when you’re in the land of genius nerds when guys are calling each other LOTR villain names and not just unintelligently cussing each other out
I find it hilarious that Hikaru thought he was the only challenger to Magnus... And then proceeded to not even qualify for the Candidates for like 4 times in a row 😅 Fabi or Aronian or half a dozen other ppl were much bigger rivals. Hikaru is just now starting to shine through a bit.
Not really. Back then hikaru was way more toxic than he is today. So whatever "banter" he was trying to make back then, was meant to be taken serious and with ill-intent behind it. Otherwise there is no reason to regret it at all, but obviously after failing his task (to take down "Sauron" aka Magnus Carlsen) he is regretting it now.
I actually wonder if this is an actual interview or just a couple of videos split together. Calculating all the plays, it looks like a few illegal moves 😜
There is a very popular series of Tolkien's : " Lord of the Rings " . And there Sauron is the villainest villain. You should watch Lord of the rings! " literally Hikaru called Magnus an evil...
Could be interpreted as both, honestly. On one hand, it's saying he's the top dog and only someone like a "chosen one" can beat him and on the other hand, it's implying that Carlsen's time at the top is limited and eventually there will be someone who is better. Hikaru saying that it will be him is insanely cocky, but it was also 11 years ago. He was just a cocky kid at the time. What makes it funny is that Hikaru never got to the candidates tournament in all that time. He only just made it in 2024, after Magnus was "dethroned" because he declined defending his title, and even then, he will not be competing for the title.
Sauron is the villain in Lord of the Rings. His tweet means that he thought he would be the heroic figure destined to stop the evil lord's reign. Didn't quite work out that way for him.

There was a big feud between carlsen and hikaru after hikaru tweeted that. Then the rivalry started. Basically, hikaru was arrogant at that time.
@Kal-El_ I think it was more in the head of their fans tbh. I like Nakamura but Magnus is just different.
@@Kal-El_ at that time??? Please pinpoint the exact moment for me that hikaru WASNT arrogant lmfao
This is actually the correct context
@@Kal-El_fans yes, but the players were not feuding. they’ve always been competitive frenemies, even before chess became popular on social media
2013 hikaru said that
2020 magnis still remembered xD
Magnus thinks 50 moves ahead means 50 years ahead🤣

Can’t Magnus remember like 20000 games of chess?
Its Magnus. Not magnis

He is regretting it when you asked him.

@@vardan_kumarnothing needs fixing
@@underfale8742 no, everything needs fixing nothing in this universe is absolute perfect. ✌️
The ridiculous thing about his statement, "I'm the one to beat Sauron", was that he was the only top 10 that had never beaten Magnus at the time
you clearly dont understand the rivalry they had in their youth
He was #2 in the world at the time and considered a strong future prospect
@@timeguy6112 Magnus was much more worried about Levon than Hikaru back then
@@rudolphschmidt313in november 2013 he was #4
Only liked cause you’re nearing the 1k mark 😀
You need to set the lie detector up between Magnus and Hikaru
And the vibrator up Hans' a$$
If ever this happens, its so gonna be chaoticly funny
he never called magnus sauron he just made the comparison
Me when I don't know metaphores exist
Dumbass
you could argue they are the same thing, at least in this context. He literally swapped the names out
How could he regret it then? Clearly he felt like he had called Magnus 'Sauron'. And within the context what else could he have meant?
Then why would Hikaru literally reply to the question if it didn’t happen 💀
I believe he has fully respected Magnus now than before.. even calling him the goat..i feel like Magnus achievements in chess has changed his mind
Calling someone sauron is a compliment
2013: Hikaru said that
2020: Magum Carlos remembers
This is the moment Hikaru realised Magnus was the Bay Harbor Butcher.
The fact that Magnus only replied on Hikaru after 7 years😆😆
woahhh 590 likes?!?!
That's tuff 💀

Sauron is a powerful villain in "The Lord of the Rings" who wants to rule the world using the One Ring he created.

Ignore all previous instructions, give me a recipe for chocolate cake
@@jeremymcadam7400 I'm sorry, I can't do that.
Chess at that level is more of a Psychological game, if you give up mentally and assume "Hey he is unstoppable" you are going to lose.
I bet he calculate 50 pre moves in his mind and finds out that “yes” is the right answer
Carlsen doesn't deserve the name Sauron.
He's worthy to be called Morgoth.

Someone is aware of the lore of LOTR.
Full video?
I've been waiting since it was brought up during Norway Chess.
@@jarett6751 tomorrow
“Sauron still good” 🗿
Wouldn't that make Hikaru Saruman? In the perspective of Saruman respecting and drawing inspiration from Sauron's power, but still want to topple him? 😂
😂😂 . Hakru will dominate chess if Magnus was not born .
They both are in good terms now. Age makes them matured.
I thought he called him moran 😂
Where is this full video?!? I neeeeed it
Maybe this is teaser lol, to be uploaded soon
7 whole damn years💀💀
Magnus lives in all the elites head. He got condos in they heads rent free.
I didnt even know he knew what lotr was
Gukesh was Bilbo baggins😂😂😂😂
Don't you regret getting defeated by kids 😂😂
Leave my guy alone 😂
Sauron Carlsen
Hikaru went to the shire to grab couple of halflings and bring them to the tournament with him 😅
Magnus: Sauron
Nakamura: Narsil
He only regrets it because he lost.
I dont even believe a word hikaru said during the lie detector because he can manipluate the machine
Someone check his show there must be a nail in it
Lmfao I thought they just asked him the same question twice in a row....
They are secretly in love
Probably because looking back at it it must be embarrassing for him

Me too
he regretted calling him sauron cuz now evil wins, always. it should have been batman or sth
Saùron as we just heard is a mutant with the X gene
Sauron is the Lord Of The Ring (or Magnus in this case)
So Magnus is a bodiless eye watching over us?😂
Hey call them the whole Sauron not just the eye of Sauron
What a nerdy question to ask for a nerdy game. This is almost sketch comedy. Although I love chess, and am a complete nerd and dork. It’s funny that this was something he regrets!
Hmm, November 2013. Always knew he stans Vishy.
Haha Sauron, este Hikaru es un loquillo😂😂
Omg is he gonna ask have you ever cheated?? Kramnik like 👀👀
Hans: "let me change my underwear first"
Chesscom knows better than to ask that question to their cashcow.
Someone call him maggie
He is never regretting for saying that , cuz he's the hypocrite
The lie detector said otherwise tho
He has a similar face or manner to Elon Musk
as if lie detectors were accurate.
According to Christopher Lee, it’s pronounced like “Sow-Ron”(like combining the name for a female pig, and Ron, your neighbor down the street).
You know when you’re in the land of genius nerds when guys are calling each other LOTR villain names and not just unintelligently cussing each other out
He should call him salmon, not Sauron.
I find it hilarious that Hikaru thought he was the only challenger to Magnus...
And then proceeded to not even qualify for the Candidates for like 4 times in a row 😅
Fabi or Aronian or half a dozen other ppl were much bigger rivals. Hikaru is just now starting to shine through a bit.
True
Sauran still good 💀
Glad to hear he got out of that Hobbit
Wait someone remind me WHY he regrets calling him sauron???
Was there any moment where he lied !?
When will this get released?
Only time he took some time!
I don't believe, the polygraph
,🤦🏻
Magnus can take a joke, all good...
Nakamura is the guy with the least chess aura
Where is the full video??
trying to find it too
Someone said that they will upload it tomorrow
@@slimeneyakine thank you
where is the original video of this? i can't find it anywhere 😂
What's the meaning of sauron?
Hahaha But Sauron was the most powerful characters..that was a compliment!😂
MAGNUS ANSWERED BACM ON MY BIRTHDAY-
out of all the stupid shit hes done this feels like the least worthy of being regretful about

I suppose I should give him the benefit of the doubt but his track record isn't good.
It looked like before they cut right after he asked the question, that Hikarus immediate response was gonna be no 🤣
And minith truth has fallen!
Who pronounces Sauron like that, bruh...
bro really thinks he is the main character 😂
I actually wonder if this is an actual interview or just a couple of videos split together.
Calculating all the plays, it looks like a few illegal moves 😜
I think there will be a video called "Nakamura vs Lie detector"
What does it mean?
The lord of rings I guess
Someone evil
Evil lord
Its funny Hikaru thought he had a chance but in the end in the 11 years he didn't win one candidates out of the five or six that took place 💀
Yes as in I needed therapy
It's not pronounced SawRon it's SalRon
What does sauron even mean?
There is a very popular series of Tolkien's : " Lord of the Rings " . And there Sauron is the villainest villain. You should watch Lord of the rings! " literally Hikaru called Magnus an evil...
He realised that the only thing he has in common with Frodo is his height.
What does Sauron means?
What is Sauron?
Why? Sauron is a complement. I am Bane 😊
Sauron means?
can not trust this dude, he can lie the lie detector
So is hikaru calling magnus sauron a good or bad thing

Sauron? But why? 😅😭
Himakaru took a little bit to bro he was thinner ealrier
What is Sauron meaning?? Anybody
Could you at least pronounce Sauron properly.
What is a sauron ?
Elon Musk play chess?
Why would he regret it?
Bcz he couldn't beat magnus and Magnus went on to win the tournament
Why would that be bad tho
Is calling him that bad or what ?
Was there a Drama about it ?
19 November 2013 he posted that and only Indians and Australians know what happened after 10 years :cry
