Troll openings is a little strong. 1.b3 is "I'm the positional god, get over it". Magnus doesn't need to troll when he plays 1.f3!! in real torunaments.
No, he didnt. Hikaru wins 90% of titled tuesdays. There is a 10% that a random other dude will win when hikaru is having a bad day. It’s unrealistic to expect hikaru to win every single event twice a week. If it was hikaru magnus in finals then i would say youre right, but hikaru didnt even finish the event. Magnus won the even hikaru normally wins when hikaru leaves the event.
@@cooldes4593 bruh idk where all this emotion is coming from but the guy is talking about Blitz rating, not TT. Magnus objectively surpassed Hikaru in the Blitz leaderboard, and that was all that was said. I'm sure Hikaru is proud of you tho, you're a loyal soldier.
I feel like a lot of players have studied engines but Magnus is the one that have adopted to it most and understands the engine way of thinking. Like a lot of strong players understand the purposes of the lines once they see them, but Magnus understand their strategy and ideas well enough to implement it in practical play.
My favorite part is when Magnus Carlsen uses Monster Reborn to get the offensive advantage and attack his opponents life points for game, sending A-Fier to the Shadow Realm
I honestly love how much respect Levy has for Magnus. Levy is an IM probably better than 99% of chess players in the world, but when he reviews Magnus’ games you can tell he’s in awe because Magnus really is that good. Magnus is just on a level by himself, and I like the fact that Levy acknowledges that and doesn’t pretend to know and understand everything Magnus does.
My favorite example of how ahead of everyone Magnus is, is when Jan Gustafsson played Magnus without knowing it, and he kept saying something along the lines of ' these moves doesn't make any sense to me, but I'm worse somehow' absolutely befuddled by how his opponent was playing.
*When Magnus arrives , hikaru got nervous and started caring...* Next time hikaru must make sure next time he literally absolutely definitely don't care ...the hika -magnus love stories are true... It's like seeing your crush and wanting to impress only to trip and fall down
levy you're an inspiration, I think that chess was something that really helped me cope with my depression and it's really all thanks to you. I never really understood the saying that one person could change another person's whole life, but you really made me so much happier and healthier. I really hope you continue the amazing content you put out there :)
I dont understand this comment at all. Principally speaking if you are depressed lets say...humm...because politics, food, bad financial situation, anything really...so lets pretend its love youre depressed about for a second - either you need to stop caring or you need to be in love with Levy. In any other case, if its any other person in the world, Levy will have no impact on your depression whatsovever. Maybe distract you a little bit, let you forget about it for two hours. Maybe. But then youll end up depressed again. So whats this nonsense about coping with depression and helped me overcome my insecurities thats appearing on every single youtube video of anyone big and important? Can anyone explain pls? I am genuinely interested in any logical explanation.
It is so interesting to see high elo players of their respective field wildly outclassing each other still. It is similar in League of Legends, where top high ladder challengers will often clap the asscheeks of players who simply lurk in the lower brackets of challenger (basically the highest rank achievable) who are already considered gods compared to any normal player.
"I'll make a way!!" Magnus on another level even for him. Performance at 3355!? Game 3: Ra2, Qa1!? Beating GMs into paste seemingly at will!? Thanks for explaining all of these games and the Reti theory. Great recap!
Magnus Carlsen is hell. He is hell on the chessboard. I'm not even upset he doesn't want to play in the WCC anymore. He's just unequivocally better than everyone else. It's like Lebron James in the 2010s. You cannot even begin to form an argument for anyone else.
Good comparison but i think he is on a different level from his competition in a way that the nba has never even seen, maybe like bird or kemba in march madness
@@e50s65 it's hard to compare team sports, but chess players have quite a bit in common with various martial artists, wrestlers and boxers. I would think he is closer to a Khabib Nurmagomedov. He was extremely methodical. On the ground, he would force fighters into worse and worse positions with no escape, just a choice of stay here and quit, or move to the next position and continue until they would finally submit. It wasn't flashy, and everyone knew it was coming, but no one could stop it.
Genuinely can not fathom that while in a position of equal material, with good and solid pawn structure and an active queen, this man decides to trade off his own active queen for blacks passive one, doubling his pawns in the process, calculating that his active rooks are enough to win the queenside pawns and more, all in a blitz game??? He’s on another level to everyone else. A move that breaks a ton of principles with such fast calculation that it’s better for him, and it’s the top engine move.
