A 2800-elo engine would never make such a blunder btw, even a 1800-elo engine.

nice drama, liked the reporters coming by, thanks James

Time pressure does this to anyone. Computer will never do this error of judgement in any format. But thats what make it interseing to watch. Sometime magnus looses are also remainder that he is also human.

Another great video! Good to see the Good the Bad and the Ugly from the best and most creative player, Magnus.

Thanks a lot and yeah hah

I know it's blitz, but I'm still surprised by the amount of relatively simple tactics that were missed by these great players.

Even Magnus is playing the Botez gambit. Must be sound.

Man, he was dominating that entire game. Sometimes it only takes one epic blunder to ruin a great game.

Great to know for at least a second time that Magnus isn't completely invincible as white. Despite it being blitz, that pin was well spotted.

He's just trying to get Kramnik to transfer him on the good side of his list.

That Board they were playing on looks so small maybe just my perception that Blunder was just the kind of move that you have to see they both make so many good moves with little time to think 🤔 but definitely foresee that Thanks for the Game James

People are giving him hell in the comments but look at the time pressure. They were moving like lighting in the end. My brain could barely even visually process the board at that kind of speed let alone compute moves. His opponent was on that move QUICK though!

I felt that. Sadly, most of my games end like that, too.

hate him or love him, hes still rated #1. and some of your favorite gm's favorite gm.

It was obviously 'mathematically' impossible to make that blunder, like let me make some number up, it was 99.99999999999% impossible to make this blunder.

Magnus speaks superb English; there was no need for those subtitles.

Yes and thanks a lot!

8:02 I'm under 1000 rated in every mode and I found it, knight to g3. Boom I was right! Of course I probably wouldn't find it in game:D Though just a couple days ago I found a brilliant move against a 730 rated player. It was a knight sac to make the opponents king extremely vulnerable, I thought it was going to be an inaccurate sacrifice, but it was the engines best move:D

Nervous collapse in commoner's chess language also called a brain fart😂. Hopefully Magnus recovers though but too difficult to catch up Wei Yi as I cant see him falling

As soon as you mention “natural”, it is bad. One piece of advice: only play natural moves (whatever that may be) if they are not mentioned!

@uduehdjztyfjrdjciv2160

Natural means they are visible due to classic chess theory patterns. Computer move means, unobvious, very strange first line moves, counter intuitive against classic theory patterns.

@@uduehdjztyfjrdjciv2160 Yes, watching AI on chess and go I would say there are best and good moves, making you win more often, and worst and bad moves, making you lose more often. That’s just it, how they look like doesn’t matter. You have to learn to read out move sequences correctly and judge their results correctly, trying to find out what makes a move good, especially when it looks weird. AI made the good game so much richer, both professional chess and go players may spend huge amounts of time with their AI-teacher, also to unlearn “natural”.

Guys don't let this video distract you from the fact that Wei Yi just won the rapid section by a full point over Magnus Carlsen and then went on to win 8 out of 9 games in the blitz in one day again dominating Carlsen and the field... and no one is covering it

Magnus looks bloated and tired. Long nights and too much to drink, probably. No other way to explain such an amateur-ish blunderfest but an excruciating hangover.

You really can't afford to blunder pieces if you want to be good. Dude needs to spend time everyday doing plenty of tactics problems. In no time, his ratings will assuredly go up a few hundred points.

too much MC on the channel..also clickbait titles like 'the chess world is reeling' when 'Carlsen wins yet another chess game' would be more appropriate. always enjoyable though
