    Magnus is so much better than anyone else that he just wings it. He's such a genius at this game that he sees moves only he can imagine. This is what chess needs. He should do this in classical games too, but maybe that's asking a bit much. Still, we're so lucky to be alive to see this man reinvent what's often a stodgy, predictable game.

      Magnus doesn't just wing it at all. This is a known opening he has played before, back even in 2014, so has Caruana and Giri. Despite the suspicious troII appearance of the opening, it has a logic to it and idea behind it, not as bad as it looks.

    One of keys not mentioned was that White's bishop was rendered unusable by Black's pawn structure. Good thing to remember once you have eliminated one of your opponent's bishops. Then you should, if possible and reasonable, set up your pawns to negate the effectiveness of the remaining bishop. If you can do it well enough It's almost like winning a piece.

    This is what Fischer meant, and Magnus means, when he says he's "better at chess than other people".
    Everyone is memorizing all the positions and games at the top level are essentially memory games played against one another. But Magnus already has all that stuff down pat. If you play a game based off your memory, you will lose. To win, you have to be "good at chess" and not just "good because I've memorized the best positions", elsewise Magnus will walk all over you -- as he does, repeatedly, to other players at the top. Fischer tried to do the same thing, breaking theory to weed out memorizers, when he created his Chess960 variant.

    Even after Magnus' Qb6 I had to wait for your analysis to know what it actually achieved as I thought he was still lost. I guess that's why I'm a sub 2k elo plonker.

    When you're much better than your opponents, the optimal play is to play suboptimally, because it gives you more opportunities.

    Commentators have problems spotting what Magnus diacovered in few seconds of play...and most of US (me included of course) have no idea what actually happened here😂

    Magnus is making the engine rethink about what they know

    I guessed Qb6! but only because I knew Magnus was going for the kill. In real life I would struggle to play that move even if I saw it.

    Magnus plays great positional chess.

    He just knows the openings so well he just gets bored.
    Plus it messes with the opponents mind and forces them to actually think originally from the start, something not really necessary in a regular game.

    Essentially spots Nepo a pawn and wins because Nepo misses the positional d5., and Carlson defends like a genius.

    I taught Magnus everything he knows. Then he learned a move or two on his own.

    After watching Magnus for the last few years and seeing what he’s been doing the last 6 or so months, I’m convinced he’s just screwing around with not following the ideal patterns and rules to purposefully put himself at a disadvantage - just to see if he’s skilled enough to play on the back foot.
    The guy said he’s pretty much done/bored with chess so this is his solution I think.

  • @jamricsloe
    @jamricsloe Před 4 měsíci

    Sometimes waiting moves are correct. It's as if Magnus has realized we can play early wait moves to see what our opponent has planned.

  • @kenmccarty6229
    @kenmccarty6229 Před 4 měsíci

    Magnus is playing by rules, just his own. I think it's quite evident that the Goat understands something about chess that most other top players don't. Yes, he is that good.

    This video made me think "Maybe my king is safer than I think in a lot of circumstances", then I immediately realised how stupid an idea it was to think I can Magnus my king around :D

    Magnus showes he is the best. This is played with no learned lines, so not a memory game, but pure chess skills .
