The cow is about content over chess. Magnus says it regularly- he is not a streamer. He is a chess player. To wit- he's also not a fan of the "botez gambit" (which he sometimes prefaces saying that he thinks the botez sisters are great, just their gambit is bad ;)

In the banned opening you get some activity in the beginning of the game with an additional minor piece. Rooks become later active. That's why it was a surprise weapon for short time control. At least this is the oppinion of some titled players (GothamChess? I don't know anymore).

@@curtis4948 Yeah. Is the banned opening good? No, it's obviously bad. But it's bad in a way where you give up something very good to get something else that's pretty good. A net loss, sure, but you actually traded something for something. The cow opening doesn't really get you anything - it just lets your opponent develop for free.
I love how positive you can be about everything. It's refreshing.
Anna, I think you cow opening was a lot of fun and we need more humour in this fked up world. You are a gem. The tournament where you had the whole row playing it was hilarious. OMO, the guy who gets you for life will be one lucky fella.
Bro is intimated by caw
"mooOOoooove!"
Some on guys, it is time for the Chess community to step up and help Anna develop The Cow theory. She already played a little advanced theory on The Cow in Menorca, which should be called The Bull Variant, where you advanced her on the flanks to trap her opponent. Because if you mess with The Bull, you are going to get the horns.
I like how anna held her tears inside, i can feel it❤❤
The cow opening is like a soldier on the front line running towards the enemy army! It's an opening only for warriors!
It is therefore clear that Anna will go down in chess history with her Cow Opening.
Respect Magnus, but he has no clue about it. Cow is the Best opening😊
Anna, debes estudiar las cientos de variantes con la apertura de la vaca, y buscar una respuesta a cada apertura de tu oponente, de esa forma se podrá llegar a posiciones equilibradas, y quizas en el futuro sea mucho mas empleada, pero es un éxito que hayas creada una apertura y que sea conocida por muchos, sobretodo GM
I like that you invested the cow and when you say the word “move” I think it sounds like Moooove 🐮
Well for having play it and against it i found the cow opening to have many major issues and at first start it can even put you in danger early on in the game
Anna, what amazing confidence you have. Your reaction to this is just one of the many reasons I watch you. You handled his condescension with grace. You are a real icon for women everywhere who have to deal with attitudes like this. Rock on gurl!
Don't worry Anna, you are our Ferdinand

He made his cowboy opening investigation and it seems that Anna, you're under arrest.

The Cow 🐄 Opening is far advanced beyond its age. It is a time less testament to the courageous to go forth and conquer the chess 🌎 world.
Well nobody is perfect. I'm sure Magnus will see the light someday 🐄🐄🐄
All publicity is good publicity
That explains the thunderous shattering of glass I heard last weak: it was Anna's heart breaking.

Your persistent optimism is amazing Anna!!
Mooooove that opening trend . . .
To be fair, the cow opening is always a thing for beginners to intermediate players in blitz, everything is so closely kept together you can’t possibly blunder, which means the opponent likely would. From a guy who has never played blitz
At least its confirmed, he knows of it and has prepared a defence against it

I wonder if he could beat Stockfish if Stockfish was forced to play the Cow, and Magnus had to play a designated opening that is more solid, but isn't specifically designed to prevent the Cow from being played. IIRC the fully developed Cow is like -1.5 for White. 1.5 advantage probably isn't enough for Stockfish though.

I highly doubt he could beat stockfish with the cow. Hikaru played Komodo with 2 pawn odds and I think he only managed a few draws (I might be forgetting though), but if I remember correctly, Hikaru was playing at a pretty fast pace, if Magnus had enough time I think he could do it.
