It's interesting how similar Magnus is to Bobby Fischer. Both players were just so dominant and far ahead of everyone else during their time periods that they stopped trying to defend their world titles, both had similar complaints about the game of chess and the world championship format, and both continued to enjoy the game via alternate formats (like Fischer random) Bobby Fischer was even known to play bad openings/troll openings on purpose to give himself a challenge.

He is so confident in his abilities, that his common strategy is to take his opponent and himself out of preparation as quickly as possible and he knows that he will be able to figure out the position much better, especially with the smaller time controls.

Imagine being so good that drunk you is still top ten in the world lol

My favourite part was when Magnus said "it's swapping time" and just swapped his king and queen all over the place.

Been wanting a video on this exact opening for a long time! Magnus loves it and it's visually hilarious, even for non-chess players. Try it in your own games, it's fun! But most people will strangle your position when you give up so many free moves!

New chess move idea: "Crowning" (you switch positions with your queen & king, with similar rules as castling - can't be in check or put into check, neither piece has moved yet, etc.) It may not do much in terms of advantage (& loses castling privilege), but it can change openings & midgames, is inspired by the Carlsen Gambit, & finally adds a new move to the game. Also, both sides queens & rooks can easily attack the other sides king in the center.

"Wait doesn't the king start on the same color? Don't worry I'll fix it."

At 13:32 after the check by Magnus white bishop blocking saves the game for white. This is since if black queen takes bishop then white queen blocks the check forcing the queen trade and the white rook picks up the center pawn. If black knight takes bishop then white queen takes pawn putting black into check.

Best video so far this year that you made and I love all of your videos! Please make more like this.

I'd argue that having the King and Queen swapped around actually undercuts a lot of standard chess theory, so he's got minimal development after six (or more!) moves (and can't castle), but he's potentially destabilized the opening that the opponent played and certainly makes any prepared moves based on the opening less certain. I'd be interested to see, for example, whether the white Bishop on F5 in the first game was an inaccuracy given the location of the King. I doubt that the analysis bar can take into account a meta-move like this, but what if the analysis bar was set to Fischer random?

14:03 Magnus stops an avalanche with a horse

The legend Magnus Chadsen had the AUDACITY to interchange his queen and king against probably a prodigy GM, get a terrible position yet threaten checkmate in the end. What a man Carlsen.

From my own experience with Bongcloud opening, the advantage dumb openings give you is not positional but mental. The opponents are completely baffled and become far more prone to making mistakes.

17:28 “now yous can’t leave”- perfect quote for that move

Every video Gotham wears those WONDERFUL shirts, it’s literally his perfect style

I love that he experiments and enjoys the game and doesn't just play book moves. It is a game at the end...

The last gambit Gotham was discussing looks a lot like the Bobby Fisher Gambit, in which Fisher did the same thing against a GM.

When you're so good at chess that you can play like a 200 in the opening and still win.
