    Sometimes when I take a shower, I can't remember if I shampooed my hair yet.

    "This is a game from the World Championships in 2045."

    If a FICTIONAL movie character had this kind of memory, I'd call it unrealistic. This is insane

    Carlsen never rents a movie twice, he just grabs popcorn and close his eyes

    "This is the 24th game from Seville, obviously."

    The one I found most interesting was how he recognized the position from the Harry Potter film. Unlike the others, this isn't one he would have encountered in the course of his professional study. But that he remembered it just shows that he must completely remember every chess position he's ever seen, whether "real" or not.

    One of the interesting things about Chess is that the current best player in the world is almost always the best player of all time. This is because the current players are not only playing with their skills, but also their memories of older games and historical players. As time moves ahead, the players themselves become better and better than their predecessors by remembering and improvising on their predecessors' games.

    Magnus is the kind of guy that never forgets why he came into a room

    I would have thought this was unrealistic if I saw a character do this in a chess movie/show.

    Its not just the memory that is astonishing, its the obsession to watch and learn every single game in history of chess to become better that only a world champion can possess

    He ironically tweeted “They know it’s my job right?”

    Magnus once played ten lawyers at Harvard simultaneously, blindfolded. After the match he was talking to one of the attorneys, who said he regretted not taking notes of the moves, now being unable to show his game to his friends at the bar and the library. Magnus then proceeded to tell the guy all the moves that were made in their game

    Magnus watches 4 chess moves: Knows time, place and players involved.

  • @TANGENT-io4wk

    You can tell this level of recollection is completely effortless for him, he recognizes the position and the time he first came across it almost instantly. His memory really is superhuman, I wonder if anyone's ever studied him to see what his limits are. We saw that he's also naturally god tier on games like geo-guesser as well.

    I love how David is so humble while being a fabulous chess player himself. He’s also very insightful in his chess match commentary

    1. e4 Carlsen: "Fischer-Spassky 1972. Fischer was wearing a beige shirt. He had 3 eggs for breakfast, wheat toast and a glass of apple juice. He sneezed 4 times on the drive to the game."

    It’s crazy how many different topics of things people are into, to this depth. You have chemists who can look at a reaction and name it out of what seems like no where but they just clearly have dedicated their lives to knowing a lot. And on the opposite side of the spectrum you have people like this who love Chess so much they read books about historic game boards and can literally name them? People are amazing.
