Arrows are good for beginners, but if you really want to get better at chess you should try to memorize the squares ranks and files so that you can eventually grow some balls.

watching Magnus flip the switch at the end from playing strategically for the endgame advantage to mating within a few moves -- absolute killer instinct. I'm by no means a good chess player, but even still my brain struggles to hold the ability to calculate multiple win conditions like that at the same time. we are so lucky to live at a time where all time greats can play and provide commentary in real time for the whole world to see.

It's so funny how Magnus goes "now that I think about it" after explaining several different scenarios for pretty much every move. It's incredible how immediate the options come to him.

I never analyzed how brilliant he is. He visualized how to destroy his opponent 2 mins before. His way to calculate every single move is really awesomem hats off

Thank you, sir. You are a very patient and talented chess instructor. I look forward to more of your short and focused chess lessons. 😇

Nothing sweeter than the discovered check.
