Magnus is so humble that he assumed people might not know him and introduced himself at the beginning. What an amazing character trait.
the majority of people probably really didn't know who magnus was, since queen's gambit was a lot of people's first intro into chess. but magnus is definitely a cool dude. there's a vid of him playing bullet at a college bar and taking the time to compliment the other kid's playing 😎😎

No wonder Magnus himself was interested in the chess sequences of this series. I heard Kasparov helped them design those games.
It feels like we've been served a treat we are not capable of fully appreciating. Still feels great

"Which she has every right to do..."
:-) Savage... ;-)
I think you also need to account for how comfortable Magnus is as a player. He cannot see everything about every situation, but he is remarkable to see a position and be positive that the position contains no unknowns.
There are many examples where he is surprised that he is the only person in the world to sees something "obvious" in a position. I think his rating would be even higher if he understood the blind spots of others more.
Also when he mentioned that the chess board was in her head and not on the ceiling.. I really thought she was visually seeing the board. I'm such an idiot!
@@ThatAboutDoesIt given when she first moved into the house with her adopted parents, she needed to rip a hole in the fabric over the top of the board so she could see the ceiling and thus the chessboard... I think she actually was supposed to be seeing things visually on the ceiling. The fabric obscured her view - so she ripped it - a pretty unambiguous sign that she was visualising things literally, not metaphorically.
Magnus's commentary combined with Anya Taylor Joy's world-class acting talent make it seem as though Magnus is commentating on a real-life tournament and not a television show. Despite not being a chess player herself, Anya captures perfectly all the emotions that a world-champion-to-be would be experiencing in such a scenario. Beautiful.

Chess is incredibly boring and he doesn't even want to be the champion anymore. He's been doing this for such a long time, he probably just wants to make money off of it and retire, and I say good on him. No one has even come close to how good he is.
@@trendybistro not really true, some players have come fairly close. both WC matches with Karjakin and Caruana were drawn in the classical portion (12 games each - 12 draws with Caruana, 1 win 1 loss and 10 draws against Karjakin), he beated them on rapid tiebreaks.
don't take my word for it though - it's Carlsen himself who said (in 2018) that "in classical chess he [Caruana] has at this point just as much right as I to call himself the best in the world".
besides, Carlsen forfeited the WC match, but he intends to keep on playing professionally / competitively, clearly he's not ready to abandon the "incredibly boring" chess just yet.
@@trendybistro he wasn't bored... it was just because he was a champion he had to prepare for a long period to defend his title and restrict himself from playing other tourments..and it was alot of stress and "boring" since it was not worth for him to play against one person after a long period... he is still playing in tournaments... chess is intense.. play blitz if you feel bore.
@@trendybistro "Chess is incredibly boring"
You do know there's a neat little thing called opinions right? Even if you think chess is boring it's not like others are gonna think the same.
Also he's not tryna make money off of it, cause if he was he would've had his twitch subs on. He's just having fun with it
I love when a person at the top of a certain field can surrender themselves to fiction and embrace the experience as reality. It's a beautiful thing that reveals their true love for the field they specialize in.
That separates them from their mediocre peers. Intelligent but stuck in their own world not attuned to the reality of things.
taylor joy and beth harmon, translating it to the real world, helped more to real Carles than Carlsen itself to the Serie. After this serie Chess went up and the tournamens surely did increase their prizes. I understand your position but it is not like "Magnus is supporting the serie", for me it is like "Serie is supporting chess and in consecuence to Magnus too". Do you get my point?
@@skallittor5478 I don't even know if your point was typed in English. So no, I don't understand any point you were trying to make. But what's important is that you made yourself feel smart

Just new to the game and playing a bit of computer chess. In the computer game you can turn multiple pawns into Queens for example. How is this done with over the board? Are there multiple spare pieces for every scenario? 🤷🏻♂️
Depends, sometimes you kan simply turn a rook upside down, but if theres spare pieces you can use these ofcourse
It says something about the attention to detail in the series when our times greatest champ describes the chess in the series as beautiful and exciting. Bravo :)
I know chess has billions of possible outcomes and combinations, but to have "Lot's of game segments I've never seen before..." coming from a guy who memorized pretty much all of the significant moves from probably all of the most significant chess games ever played is just.... Wow... AND at the same time making the game actually interesting to analyze, not only for amateurs, but for GMs as well...
People have estimated that a high level GM might have memorized north of 100,000 chess patterns in the brain. I think MC certainly is one of these.
The problem with chess at this level is that there are not really not many positions possible, most players play always the best/2nd best position on every move, so in the long run it's not that hard to learn the patterns. (for them of course, for mere mortals it is not) and since most have a repertoire they stick with, they start to learn every outcome since almost every time people will play the best move to answer his, and if they don't he will punish, that's why so many games end in draw at classic, with time to think the game is basically a matter of who wants to risk playing something unusual vs sticking to the end in the main line of that variation and drawing.
The computers are the only ones that get creative in chess
@@marcosc9130 chess PATTERNS are not the same thing as concrete move sequences.
there are thousands and thousands of ways in which every pattern can occur, and of course these patterns are usually combined, so an experienced player will break a given position down into several discernible patterns.
that's what makes blindfold chess possible.
that's more or less how our brains (and in modern times, artificial inteligence) are able to quickly recognize and decipher hand writing, for instance - by extracting the crucial patterns out of the overall complexity.
for someone like Kaspar Hauser, who's illiterate and never learned to read and write, it would be nothing short of magic.
Wellt his game _WAS_ designed by Garry Kasparov himself
Man this wasn’t about analyzing the game from the show at all
Magnus really just roasted borgov HAHAHAHAA
Imo, you can't say it's not. It's part of the series. All details in all films should be open to interpretation and critical observation as the viewer likes. The point of that scene may not strictly be about the chess, but you can't say that it completely isn't.

Gotta love Magnus scoffing at Borgov for smiling after the loss. So fiercely competitive haha
Hi crossfire player here?
“This draw offer is frankly insulting”
It really is though. Magnus spittin facts
He thought process after that was "is there a trap here? No."
This video was a treat. Thank you for your valuable perspective Mr. Carlsen. Loved the introspection.
I like the looking up bit. Its a super power for her. And the resoluteness with which she moves that piece when she returns from seeing all the possible next moves visibly shakes her opponent. And then the fact she spends no time thinking about her next moves and just does it also bothers him. As if he knows she just saw all these moves hes making and shes just playing out a forgone conclusion.
He can play the best chess in the world and also explain and make interesting to us a made-for-tv chess game. . He can bring it down to our level. That’s pretty shocking to me.
Also shocking is the fact that the writers of the tv show were able to create chess games for the show that are interesting to him.
That's because they hired Kasparov to do it for them, they would go for absurd games as always, but Kasparov told them not to and personally helped create games that were both real enough, but not like stupid long and boring like a real championship match. Specially because back then games were a little more wild, since players didn't train with 3000 rating Engine since they are kids. Some people say they should have used real matches, but for the average person watching a game with 180 moves with a lot of depth is not feasible, imagine fitting 10% of the reason why the Najdorf is played that way. Or worse, translating the rather uninteresting "Queen's Gambit", very safe, very positional and making it exciting.
I dont think speaking another language is a big deal. And the games were selected based on real good games, so they are interesting.
@@marcosc9130 "they would go for absurd games as always, but Kasparov told them not to"
The fact that they hired Kasparov is by itself evidence that they DIDN'T want to go for absurd games, and that decision must have been made BEFORE he could tell them that (since he hadn't been hired yet).
by the way it was Kasparov + Pandolfini, if i remember correctly.
"Some people say they should have used real matches, but for the average person watching a game with 180 moves with a lot of depth is not feasible"
i think you mean real games (not matches), and no, actual games aren't typically 180 moves long either.
the actual game it was based on was a 72 moves draw (between Ivanchuk and Wolff), which was spiced up and converted into a 53 moves win, arguably adding MORE depth to it, as the actual game avoided complexities, exchanged most pieces and this was exactly why it took longer and ended in a draw.
and the 72 moves that original game lasted - while far from 180 - was still pretty long by tournament standards.
as evidenced by the fact that for Ivanchuk was actually the 2nd longest game (out of 13) he played in that tournament, and for Wolff the longest one.
so whatever speaks against using real life games in TV, it's not their length as you imply.
not to mention there's obviously no reason to show every single move on the screen - even a game consisting of 100+ moves could still be narrowed down to just the interesting parts for cinematic purposes.
In Europe it's normal to speak more than one language, heck, most people speak three or four languages.
@@theseeker3073 not just in Europe, I don't understand why the U.S thinks speaking a second language is amazing and a sign of intelligence or something.

Thank you Magnus. I was a teen when Bobby Fischer defeated Boris Spaskey. In America, that really drove the popularity of chess up for the first time in almost a century.
The Queen's Gambit really pushed chess up in the consciousness of Americans again. I had read that the games in the series were pretty realistic, but it is nice for the greatest current player in the world to analyze them.
My only quibble is that it is hard to see all the moves in sequence, since this is a drama that focuses more on the personalities. When you were analyzing the games, it would have been helpful to put a little game board in the corner so we could better follow what you were talking about. In order to follow you, I had to slow down the sequences, stop them, and rewind a few times and have a board of my own set up.

Beautifully done. Well done to the film makers and to Magnus as always.
Thanks for your interesting commentary on the series and this final match in particular. I know little about chess, but I can still enjoy your analysis. And it's a big compliment to the "Queen's Gambit" series that you think so highly of how they handled the chess matches.
Love your commentary. Thank you! It makes me love the series even more!
watching you explain the game makes me almost want to cry, i never realized they tried to coordinate the chess moves and tell a beautiful story at the same time...
Great video.. Thanks for doing this commentary
Analysis could have been better if Chess Board was constantly shown on side screen, so that actually we could see the position!! 😅😄
Magnus Carlsen probably thinks everybody have a chessboard in their head as he does so why bother editing video and adding another lol (no offence, great video anyway).
@@insanedb I saw it at the ceiling
he should show the game on a ceiling :P
Queens gambit is really cool. Im glad they took the time to show the game in a way that in could actually be analyzed, even if it's based on a real game or something.
I'm an untalented chess "amateur" but I LOVE the game, I LOVED the Queen's Gambit series and having Magnus very special input on the show is the cherry on the cake ! 🤩
Good luck
LOVED THIS VIDEO! AMAZING CONTENT
Borgov: “Draw?”
Magnus: “So you have chosen death”
lol we have been cheated. they showed the final parts of the game as being so dramatic and close, when, according to Carlsen, the game was hers to win from quite some moves back! :P
I agree that was also my feeling after seeing Magnus's analysis. That said, Beth is a very fragile young woman, who has been given every reason to doubt herself in this game - she's been told the Russian players are a completely crazy league of their own, she saw all the other players helping Borgov out the night before, she's also playing sober and off the tranquilisers for the first time in a very long time, she even lost humilatingly to Borgov before... So maybe she genuinely thought there may be more here than what she's seeing.
@@adrianmeerman6493 lol I was trying to be sarcastic and wasn't serious when I said that; it was a cool scene, and I understand the use of music and close-up camera angles and/or slow-mo to make a scene more dramatic and appealing, without which it would simply seem like a documentary.
@@aesaphyr She played the whole tournament off them, and was likely getting used to it, a further problem with adjourning (though one Borgov might not be aware of).
Carlsen loves the game so much. You can see how much passion, love and respect he has for the game. Such a legend
Great video I loved it, however I think if you made a video like this again, it would be useful to have the game with the current position displayed in the upper corner throughout the conversation. But great idea to make this video regardless!
It is very satisfying that the chess moves seem to make narrative sense to Magnus in terms of the narrative of the show - which I feel they did from his comments. Thank you for taking the time to review this.
This game is based on an actual Interzonal game played in the 50's (I believe). But Kasparaov et all used a computer to improve on the actual game and make the ending more exciting. See an entertaining and detailed analysis by Agadmator on his channel.
That's such a great video! It's like watching Mozart explaining a song and his feelings about it. I definitely gonna start with chess again, once i have time. I wish you all the best, thank you for sharing this video!
Super glad that you share your knowledge. 🙏
I really love your analysis because it kind of helps understand the characters better especially one like Borgov who you don't really get any in-depth scenes with.
Magnus: Uploads
CZcams: "So anyway, I started recommending"
Thanks for the Breakdown Bro!👍
