I'm not sure if that's something he said himself, or if it's something another strong player said about him, but it seems that playing weird openings is a way of making sure his opponent can't rely too much on theory opening and/or on strange opening traps. So Magnus is willing to give a little bit of an advantage by playing a move that's not optimal (or else it would be part of the main line), because he deems that he will be able to just outplay anyone when they're in uncharted territory.

I'm a Schrödingers GM; a person who has never played ranked chess, so I am both better than Magnus and a 400 simultaneously.

You are a good teacher. You are where you should be. I like how you explain Carlson's moves. It makes me think that Magnus is always thinking about how to keep all of his pieces in the best position and doesn't get tunnel vision on trying to execute a specific attack. He doesn't mind trading pieces as long is he never loses his control of the board overall.

After watching your tournament series and the number of different lines that need to be figured out, I have a new appreciation for how hard it is to actually do this.

Love the comment re. one of Magnus's moves, "Look at this. What the hell is going on?!" (23.46). You saying that "It's such an endurance battle to play Magnus" reminded me of Judit Polgar's comment that playing Magnus was like, "Drowning". I really enjoyed this, and would very much like to see more of these, particularly analyzing Magnus's nonsensical moves that result in his victories.

I love this compilation of games. Hoping to see the same for his challenger, Ian Nepo and his tactical brilliances. Excellent video here Levy. Biggest fan and I watch every vid. Best commentary. He should be helping Peter Drury with the commentary of United against Liverpool tomorrow

I like the way u explain these moves. Makes it even more exciting and mind blowing at the same time. Great stuff man

brilliant video . It amazes me how Magnus extracts win from almost drawn game. Levy you have outdone yourself with this video.👍

I got this: Carlsen wins by doubling pawns!! If the opponent doubles his pawns, they lose, and if Carlsen double his own pawns, he wins. Simples. 😄

Hope to see GothamChess keep entering into chess tournaments. I hope he does not let adversity deter him from fighting to reach GM to which I believe he should get.

5:20 This game is reminding me when you start your journey, when you start to get a feel for the pieces is like they are alive in your head, telling where they can and "want" to move, all the possibilities and responses flowing at the same time, you're like an Westworld Android or Paul Atreides after his awekening, overwhelmed by your own thoughts. it really pushes your System 2 to the limit. It's also the easiest way to do that, to develop the skill of thinking hard and for longer periods of time, of challenging your assumptions (like a Superforcaster would), unless you settle for memorizing the correct playbook move. Is a quite unique experience, you feel like Kaiji playing Mahjong "ugh, my head!".

Magnus reminds me of Capablanca in his play. The simplicity and flexibility of exchanging one advantage for another.

I love that Levy always makes the super accurate mma references in these.

A subtle point: In this age of computers, there is still a very human way to go about playing chess: Unbalancing positions, knowing when to follow and break rules, continuing to pose problems to your opponent. Maybe what I'm trying to say is that I could really see the narrative behind the Keymer-Carlsen game, and this was because of how well the game was presented. It wasn't about analysing each move, but noting the phases of the game.

Magnus Carlsen is the only player that consistently makes me think, "is he actually ten steps ahead?"

31:12 being polite to such things before it became "mainstream" as to say. Respect

He outplayed his opponents in every sample game in the end game. Once again this proves how important end game is compared to the openings.

Love your way to analise! Beautiful games from Carls!

You know how when you watch lower rated players, you can identify their patterns and predict the kind of mistakes they tend to make or tactics they dont anticipate. I wonder if there is something specific that Magnus can identify in other grandmasters' games that he could specifically point out that they don't even know. Maybe it's just being more consistent. But maybe there is that little something he knows that gives him that edge.

As Levy said, it seems that he just doesn't give a shit. lol He is never afraid to change the position or whatever. Kinda like how an engine always finds the best move even if a position is lost aand it cant have emotions about it.. Obviously, other GMs can almost always find the best move but Magnus will just completely deviate from what "He should do" or how a position "should be played." and just continue on finding the best moves, and acting like nothing happened. I feel like that messes with even the other top guys. Ever notice how Hikaru does weird faces on stream when he sees something unfamiliar? I feel like Magnus just isnt fazed by anything. A tiny difference like that can matter, just overall mindset. On top of that, he will literally just play a single game for like 12 hours and not care.

Levy: "I've hung my queen 3 times today" Me: "Am I Levy Rozman???"

Today I also watched your recent videos on GM and 'I Quit' and I have never had more respect for you, man. But with that Fist of the North Star reference, I'll always be a fan. It's the little things.

Me: E4 Magnus: Smirks Me: I resign.

25 mins in and GC throws out a 15 year old UFC reference. I appreciate the balance...

today I finally broke 400 elo. which I know isn't impressive but feels good to actually see some improvement in my game. The alphazero videos actually helped a lot. I use alphazero's opening now for white and since I've started using it I have like a 80 percent win percentage with white. i still suck with black though lol

I've been bouncing between 700-800 for a long time. If you break through at any level and maintain it, you can feel good about it.

Try the kings indian. Helped me alot. I went from 300 to 660(my current rating ) in blitz without much hassle. Ofc try to minimise blunders. I make a shit ton of em and end up punching the air aggressively . Idk if it'll work in matchups with higher rated players...but for beginners like me I think the kings indian is pretty good and safe.

maybe look into the french defence with black, it's solid and avoids some of the nonsense white can attempt in 1. e4

You have to obviously learn qgd theory and Sicilian for black as 400+ alpha zero opening is good try learning sf14 as well then you can hope for one day reaching 500.

I’d suggest something really solid like a caro kann or french defense with black. At lower elo, just play solid and your opponent will eventually self-destruct.

Great video. Learned a lot about positional play just by watching it once. Thanks!

Really interesting point about making trades to worsen the opponent pawn structure. Will be thinking about this!

Day 2 of reminding everyone that Levy prefers us over Twitch chat because we don't make the same jokes over and over again.

I’m convinced that Magnus started playing chess just to pass time until he chooses to reveal himself as the god emperor.

i whould love an evaluation bar for this type of chess contet

These are the type of videos i need more of great work levy love the content

Whenever I play chess I try to play like Magnus Carlsen but I end up more like Carlos Magnusen

This has me wondering: who's the lowest rated player who has beaten Carlsen in classical since, say, 2010. Does anybody know? He has barely lost in classical right?,

Something like this for karpov or Tal would be sick... especially some top 5 queens sacrifices or something!

I didn't understand a damn thing that magnus did. I understood the guys he was beating tho that makes sense to me. How does he win by trading everything? Magic!

I think that's what's crazy about him. I saw Eugene's by the book perfect opening and how locked up Magnus was and I was like.... how no way. It seems like a boxer being so above the other so he ties one hand behind his back and still beats the other to a pulp.

Magnus Carlsen might be the GOAT of endgames but Gotham is the GOAT of streamers

You could do a similar video about his opponent in the final
