Great video and yes you can fight fire with fire. It is used to fight bush fires. You would call them wild fires. The technique is called a back burn. The idea is to burn all the fuel in front of the of the advancing bush or wild fire and hence starve it out. This technique obviously would never be used in a house fire.

I never knew you could salvage a game after your opponent queens. Most folks I’ve outplayed would just resign as soon as I pushed a pawn to the seventh rank with no hope of stopping it (since it’s usually a forced mate after promotion)

The idea of literally fighting fire with fire is that you set a fire to burn down _all_ the fuel for the other fire at a particular point, to create a barrier the other fire cannot cross. If you control the fire you set properly, you can extinguish it once it finishes burning what you want it to, and everything on the other side of the burn line / perimiter / etc. from the main fire will be protected.

In terms of fighting fire with fire, controlled burns can be used as a way of making sure wildfires don't start. You can also burn out a big line to stop a fire from spreading further. So I guess you *can* fight fire with fire but it's less about putting the fire out and more stopping it starting / spreading

This is hardcore chess. This players dont mind losing. People normally try to play for draw in that situation

Thank you levy! For giving us chess content while being held hostage

That end-game was just insane tbh

6:00 So fighting fire with fire is a saying that goes back to westward expansion, and it refers to the fact that the best way to stop a wildfire racing through a prairie is to light a second fire that is heading towards the one burning out of control. The fire that you’ve sent towards the out of control fire will burn up all of the available fuel for the out of control fire (ie: it’s gonna burn all the prairie in the path of the wildfire) and so, when the two fires eventually meet each other, there is no more grass in the area to fuel the fire, and so they both burn out.

Fire fighters sometimes do a controlled burn in front of a fire so the out of control fire won’t be able to spread. That’s kinda fighting fire with fire

The jokes today were very funny. The Norwegian horse dance bit was hilarious. But it wasn’t the Norwegian man who got kicked in the head by the horse. It was the Norwegian Wood-pusher whose pawn spawned (the “S” pawn) and Vishy couldn’t wake up from his knightmare.

I hadn't laughed so hard with Levy in a long time. Thank you.

You fight fire with fire when you do controlled burns to keep forest fires from getting out of control.

I am Australian and this country is literally supposed to be on fire on a regular basis, in fact there are seed pods that only open after a fire. Also my mother used to work for the national parks so I can offer the following information about fighting fire with fire: you can pre-burn all the flammable materials like dry leaves and sticks in a controlled way so that they cannot fuel a fire later on. This is called back-burning.

Wow, Magnus wins from a equal position is crazy.

Would like to always see magnus' side of the board in any game.

Bro is making videos in his vacation we should appreciate him

Not a firefighter by any means, but I think you actually can fight fire with fire (in a way.) Essentially, you can stop the spread of a fire by burning whatever's in its path through the means of a smaller, more controlled fire, so that anything which the bigger, more problematic fire can burn (and thus spread through) is already consumed by the time the big fire arrives, essentially smothering it. Generally I think this strategy is only used in emergencies, and mostly in wildfire as opposed to urban fire situations.

I like how the video is called "Magnus Carlsen's Greatest Endgame" and it is undeniably a spectacular performance, but if you check the engine lines around 15:38 after Kc1 you'll realize that the engine gives like -5 in black's favor and that Magnus actually BLUNDERED a draw in the next few moves (specifically after playing Kd4 instead of Kxb4). Engines are absolutely crazy man

I am a firefighter and they use sometimes fire to attack fire, when there is a bushfire they do a controlled fire on the edge of the fire so when the real fire comes there is nothing left to be burned and that helps a lot.

Yes Levy, you can ALWAYS fight fire with fire.

You do actually fight fire with fire most times in a large Forrest fire. It's called back burning, you're welcome.

Hello Levy, can you make a short video on the different chess database and the one you consider best (and the free one for beginners)

This man is too funny😂 you’re a product of the social media machine in the modern era

Fire is used to fight fire in forestry. When you've a wildfire burning, the technique is to light a controlled "back fire" a few hours in front of the main flame front to starve it of fuel. I guess the analogy works as Magnus starves the K-side of play towards the end of the opening.

When someone says it's completely a draw Magnus: *_nah ima do my own thing_*

"Fighting fire with fire" comes from a technique for containing forest fires, where you move a certain distance ahead of the fire and do a controlled burn of a specific distance, so when the big fire gets there, it has nothing left to burn. Or maybe it doesnt, maybe i made that up. Who knows?

Magnus trolling people on twitter saying he couldn't find a queen is just peak everything. 😆

As a firefighter, you can fight fire with fire in very certain cases, for an example, you could make a small, controlled fire to cut off some of the fuel from a bigger fire, however it's much easier just to make a fireline, which basicly just clears any potential fuel sources so the fire can die down on its own.

Hope this trip to Europe treats you well and hope to see more content like this

In white opening, knight f3 is amazing move.

You can fight fire with fire , house on fire , blow up house , house gone =fire gone 🤝

you fight wild fires, with fire, by burning the "fuel" ahead of the fire, it's easy to control the small fire.... and the large fire burns itself out faster.

The way you explaing the situation every time is GORGEOUS!!

this is my favorite channel about big dogs and firefighting

I'm a volunteer firefighter in Australia, and you can actually fight fire with fire, so to speak, in a process called back-burning. Basically, you pre-burn an area ahead of the fire that you keep under control, so there is no fuel to keep the main fire going. It does depend a lot on the circumstances, though (weather conditions, size of the main fire, landscape, etc).

A fire line is one way to fight fire with fire.

The classical seems like it just gets your Knight booted.
