- Magnus Carlsen shocks Hikaru with a brand new opening in one of their latest Titled Tuesday matches on Chess.com! This new opening from Magnus Carlsen was so shocking, Hikaru nearly LOSES IT during the game! I've decided to name this Magnus Carlsen new opening the "Norwegian Kangaroo" for reasons you will soon discover!
In the game Hikaru opens 1.e4 (best by test!) and Magnus Carlsen responds with 1...a6 - the St. George Defense, and a very disrespectful irst move at the highest level. From there Hikaru takes control of the center with d2-d4 and Magnus responds 2...Nc6, intending 3.d5 Na7! From there the game gets even weirder, with Magnus Carlsen busting out his new opening idea vs Hikaru on the very next move!
To everyone's shock, Hikaru did not react correctly to Magnus Carlsen's new opening, and the game quickly descended into chaos with Magnus Carlsen launching an all-out attack against Hikaru and Hikaru doing his best to defend against Carlsen's constant threats! There were many more twists and turns to the game, so make sure to watch till the very end of this video to see all of the new ideas from Magnus Carlsen's new opening variation (The Norwegian Kangaroo!).

What do you think of Magnus Carlsen's new opening - the "Norwegian Kangaroo?" And yes, the !! symbol on move 4 was added to emphasize the genius of Magnus Carlsen's new opening, the other annotations are correct 😉
Thst was a careless lazy, not thought out opening, which he did for the sake of doing something different.... and eventually drawn the game by his natural prowess.
This is not new. it already has a name. St.george Woodchuck variation
Im hitting dont recommend on the channel because you felt the need to say the name of the opening 4006 times. Ive never been so annoyed listening to a chess a video before. Never again will i watch one of your videos
It's not the Norwegian kangaroo. Nice try tho.
@@joshwatson9725harsh. The video was great, but I agree that him hijacking the name and over trying to make it stick was not cool.
This guy's trying SO HARD to make it called the "Norwegian Kangaroo" lmao
Fetch is never gonna happen
the opening deserves better name , please...
Magnus should give a name to this opening not you.
What was the name of the opening again? I think I missed it.
I am calling it Norwegian Kangaroo. I!!!
It’s called the Woodchuck Variation dunno why it needs a NEW name!!!!
I'm calling it the Norwegian Fjord Hopper. It's way better & more established.
Naka's escape skills are mind-boggling. He can get out of anything.
Yes that was incredible chess by Hikaru!
Bluds forcing This name upon us like it’s his newborn child.
Sorry bro, it's an older video and I'm rapidly improving my commentary, I will keep improving!
take a shot everytime he says norwegian kangaroo
Easy compared to taking a shot every time he says "harass".
Nooo don't do it, you won't live until the end of the video 😂
Naming something you didnt make is the most American thing you can do, God Bless you.
I named it after the guy who made it LOL, magnus is norwegian. If I called it the "Carlsen Variation", would you still be mad? Becuase that's basically what I did LOL. There is a Norwegian Rat opening named after Magnus, did they take credit for that as well? LOL
@@drmikechess You must he fun at parties
Trying to force the name of a 'new opening' by constantly saying it in the video, putting it in the title, or including it in the comments just because you want to be credited with inventing it, ruins the video, it feels so cringy. I don't know why it annoys me, but I think that is because it shows how many people want to take advantage of any situation to seem relevant, even though they didn't actually do anything. Also, the name doesn't sound good either for me, don't know for everyone else. AND ALSO, the invented symbol at move 4, naah man.
Drink some water and chill
@@nateg.6187it’s your headset. He’s just speaking fast and not taking any real pauses.
The !! on move 4 isn’t a new symbol he developed. That’s a chess notation for a brilliant move.
Sorry you don't like the video brother, I did NOT invent this opening, the credit goes to Magnus Carlsen there. I'm not taking any credit here for Magnus Carlsen's new opening, so I have literally zero clue why you would suggest that. But this was a brand new opening by Magnus (his novelty was on move 4), and it was an extremely entertaining back-and-forth game, which fully justifies doing a video on the game. And the free market seems to agree this was a great game, hence the views. I guess you can't please everyone!
Tell me you've never played a brilliant move without telling me you've never played a brilliant move
its a really good presentation, and a good video, unfortunatly ruined by you trying to name it and saying it over and over.
Anyone else stop watching to read the comments after the 8th time this opening was name dropped?
I lasted like 8 seconds, only until I heard "... that I am calling..." 😃
Yup, at 9:32 I had to pause it so I could see the comments =p
Who invented the opening should name it, good luck.
Stop trying to make Norwegian Kangaroo happen
😂😂😂
SHE DOESN’T EVEN GO HERE.
You guys are selfish AF and don't even have logic of reasoning skills
Stockfish: That was brilliant! But WTF are you doing? 😂😂😂
What do you mean brother?
@@drmikechess it said move 4 was brilliant but he had a lot of questionable moves according to the engine.
Omg stupid@@drmikechess
It’s called the Woodchuck Variation dunno why it needs a NEW name!!!!
There are no kangaroos in Norway.
That may be true, but there is a Norwegian playing the Norwegian Kangaroo opening in Norway!
There are now
Someone else will name it, not you.
not even in zoo?
but they have a magnus.
When magnus went up "A WHOLE PAWN"... that's definitely better than half a pawn
Your recap is really good but please don't try to forcefully pin 📌 your idea in viewers' mind by repeating it such as annoying commercials during a movie. This idea not only ruins your recap videos but also shows the cringy manner of content creator. Honestly, repeating that stupid name was annoying! (with all respect but imo was very stupid name)
I agree and share your opinion. His chess commentary is great, but he stuffed up hard parroting that Norwegian Kangaroo nonsense over and over.
The only thing that’s annoying is your comment lol
What was it called?
You could've ask Magnus the opening name instead of naming it taking credit from Magnus.
Brother I don't exactly have Magnus Carlsen's cell phone number, but trust me if you get me in contact with him I will absolutely ask him what he wants to name the opening. And obviously it was named after Magnus, he is Norwegian after all, so the name was chosen in honor of him.
@@drmikechess Trying to name an opening that someone else played once is just so absolutely massively cringe.
Great game, decent review/coverage of game, and a lot of energy! It’s a cool name you gave the opening, between the knight dancing around like a kangaroo and it capturing how aggressive and precise the opening needs to be is exactly Magnus. Between the play style and the culture is suits him
As an Australian who has once hand feed a Kangaroo, I can say with absolute clarity on behalf of kangaroos everywhere. That's racist.
The opening resembles the famous Dodge city Kansas opening, where the cowboys played the same way. After six months with the cows on the prairie and in the dust, and having found saloons, they suddenly decided to try playing chess - surrounded by whiskey and pistols. Here it is very obvious that Magnus improved that opening.
these 2 must troll each other at all times.
Hahaha it's true, I'll be covering their weird opening games for years to come 😂
I know it's not literally meant to be statement of fact as we can never know, but I find "never played before in the history of chess" funny, considering 99+% of chess games played are not documented. But I get it obviously applies to documented chess games that are indexed and can be referenced from a database.
Correct we don't know, we can only go by the databases we have available. So you are correct, it's possible someone played it in a blitz game before, but that is true for all opening novelties.
@@drmikechess For sure, I just find language funny. But the use of it makes sense, too. :) It is still informative.
I love this cheeky new Norwegian Emu opening.
Im going to call it the Norwegian Sidequest
this was the 1st video I watch from you... subscribed! nice line of thoughts. quick and deep at the same time. ty :)
Thanks! That's exactly what I'm going for - deep explanations but also somewhat fast-paced to keep it interesting :)
12:33 losing a bishop for a pawn is wild
Why do you want to give a name to what Magnus does? let Magnus give his own name?
Keep your panties on. He didn't say he named it officially. He just said he's calling it that for now (for lack of a real name).
Lol😂
The new opening is the Gravity Bong.
Gravity Bong - I like that 😂
Can’t believe Hikaru missed Qa3
If its a new opening then the creator of the opening should be the one naming it.
Are you even the GOAT if you did not open a new Chess opening?
Depends how drunk magnus was
Well Magnus is the GOAT and he has invented a crazy number of new openings!
If you don’t like this brand new opening called The Norwegian Kangaroo then I don’t know what to tell you. The Norwegian Kangaroo is a brand new opening played first by Magnus. Instead of playing a main line opening, he played The Norwegian Kangaroo which was first invented by Magnus during this match when he played The Norwegian Kangaroo. It was especially effective because Hikaru wasn’t playing The Norwegian Kangaroo but Magnus was playing The Norwegian Kangaroo. The Norwegian Kangaroo. The Norwegian Kangaroo. The Norwegian Kangaroo. The Norwegian Kangaroo. The Norwegian Kangaroo. The Norwegian Kangaroo. The Norwegian Kangaroo. The Norwegian Kangaroo. The Norwegian Kangaroo. The Norwegian Kangaroo.
There are 6 games in the Chessbase Megadatabase 2024 played by a weak amateur called Bjoern Nielsson that started with the moves a6,Nc6,Na7 etc between 2014 and 2017. He lost every game but that was due to him being a weak player.
Great find, I saw those as well. I believe Hikaru is the first to play 4.c4 and Magnus the first to go 4...b5 though!
I swear I've played that opening like 5 times or more
New Chessable course coming soon!
Hahahahahahaha XD
That "Fjord Trout Opening" was slightly shocking cuz Magnus is Norwegian and can slap your face with a large trout! :D
??? The Norweigian Kangaroo it is not. This defense Carlsen played is "St. George": In Scara Sweden 1980, GM Anthony Miles beat GM Anatoly Karpov using this defense (slayed the dragon as it were). There are no new openings or defenses in chess, Mike, only forgotten ones.
If you think any Kagaroo´s moves is going to improve your performance then you didn´t watch the las olympics.
If you can call names for other´s then i´ll call you and this channel "RAYGUN´S CHESS" because every time you said "nodddweigan kangadooo " i pictured Raygun´s kangaroo steps acting like it´s the coolest thing in the world.
The commentator should stop saying it has never been played before. I have an old man in our group who plays this crazy opening when he gets mad from losing all night. 😂😂😂😂 I think what the Commentator means is that in high-level games, this has not been recorded.
Cheers 🍻
i play this i use the pawns early though to storm out a knight advantage. i call it the dragoon gambit but thats just me.
Excuse me but it’s called the Norwegian Snatch Wrangler.
Excellent presentation. I'm a new fan. Fast and precise analysis.
What is the opening called?
What was the name of the opening?
Well it doesn't have a real name but I think the name Norwegian Kangaroo is appropriate, named after Magnus!
@@drmikechessterrible name. You have no business trying to name it.
What’s the opening called? I must have missed it
The Carlsen Opening would’ve sufficed for these angry folks lol
And even after reading the comments (and they nake sense in their own way) I like Norwegian Kangaroo. It's memorable with a sense a humor.
I was on an ice hockey team called Llama Knights. The logo was a medieval knight atop a llama, instead of a horse. Obviously it made no sense whatsoever but everybody got a kick out of it.
Whats this opening called?
I’m not even going to watch because the comments
Saying something alot dont make it real or new
What did he call the new opening again?
6:29 Qxb4 Nd3+ is a horrible way to lose quickly 😂
My proof on the chess equality is connected to the our coming understanding of modern theory of chess opening. There is no forcing win for White against 1...a6!
7:01 Nc3 would be funny if that Knight attacked anything.
With respect to GM Carlsen these "New opening moves" are just suggestions of top chess engine STOCKFISH
Not sure we disagree? Stockish likes the moves, but they were new, making them new...? Where do we disagree?
@@drmikechess Its new to the eyes of Humans with the help of Engines analysis
Wow.
I liked the introduction of that new opening. 🙂
I mean the bishop looks a bit stuck in the supposed puzzle @ 14 minutes.
... but the Norwegian Kangaroo!!!.. this and that and the Norwegian Kangaroo!!... was starving... and the Norwegian Kangaroo ate an apple because the Norwegian Kangaroo!!!! was close to a tree and then the Norwegian Kangaroo!! died.
you said the word harass like 58 times dude
How could Hikaru miss Queen a3?
why is no one talking about that purple inaccuracy?! 4:02
The name of the opening is no good. Simply a variation of St. George.
This queen side pawn attacks is not new to me I've used it in several of my games and won many already using it.
Great game by two masters.
I like Headless Horseman opening better, because to the untrained eye (mine) it looks like Magnus has no clue what he wants to do with the knight, and maybe that's designed to throw his opponent off.
Im surprised Magnus threw the game so hard. Even I, a 1700-ish player saw the fork and would have capitalized on it…
Before magnus castled Hikaru should of taken the pawn g7. Just to punch a hole and prevent king side castle🎉
Only Magnus can make this Clown Opening work…
Every single move by magnus is either great or brilliant lol
There is now!
Bro you didnt come up with the opening you dont get to name it.
I’m calling it the Groin Mustard
Nice opening name! 🤙🏽
Let me guess the opening is called captain kangaroo was it
Sorry, I didn't get it. How would you call this opening?
Great commentary!

Did you also discover America Columbus?
Brother according to my chessbase database it was new, chessbase is often the gold standard here.
Such wonderful satire, yet we know who the best in the galaxy is. 😎
You claim this is a new opening never played before!?! I played this many times when I was young and barely understood how chess pieces work. False claims made in this video... Maybe I should be the one to name this opening 😂
Hikarus big mistake not attacking that bishop, and tak7ng it with a check.
That lost him the game.
Bullet? Blitz? Rapid? What is this game?
How is that a kangaroo? Are you a kangaroo 😜😜😜
should have just bongcloud and save the time.
Hikaru will be win if he continue the game
Magnus Opus
👍
Hay una partida con ...a6 de Karpov en que se juega "a4" y no "d4"... siempre hay que combatir adecuadamente cierta "excentricidad" o se convierte en un arma...
Bosnian Crocodile
1.a3 and 1...a6 systems for bullet. Lichess 2401
Wins vs GM, IM, Latvian Women's Champion on my channel. Very important is that its called Bosnian Crocodile.
On my channel.
stilll ended i draw bro wtf
This opening was played before and it wasn't new..
I literally pointed out the exact opening novelty in the game, meaning the new move did not occur in any prior games in the chessbase database. Meaning yes it was new brother!
you should have maybe said your pet name for it twice, at the start and once at the end. forcing it so many times into the video just makes everyone dislike the entire idea. it also already has a name.
He could of won that bishop several moves earlier
Could you be more specific?
Why is everyone worried about the name and not the play and technique... Grow up everyone! Enjoy your cringy day! 🤡
🤣🤣🤣
I like your analysis and the tempo. I wish you did not say 'on the board' so often (or at all, lol)..... repetitive superfluous words....
I do these opening all the timewhich means it has been played before and you saying the name in the video and titling it with it does not make it the name... you're trying to coin the name of this opening... you're weak bro...
