It took me a second to understand what he said haha.

It was indeed

nakakalaughter

because playing blindfolded like that he obviously goes into a state of hypnosis, thus slumbering more towards a heavy relaxed state; notice also how hard it was for him to play these games blindfolded, thus i write this comment; i will now proceed to excavate a foreign accumulation of dirt in my right nostril; have a good day. clap clap clap clap clap

You all probably dont care at all but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I appreciate any help you can give me

@Cason Kade instablaster =)

Lord for a reason

In fact the rest of the chess player and the host is humorless

In chess, this is called visualization. It’s when a player can accurately picture a position in their head. I think that most people after about a year of training should be able to play a game blindfolded, you’re right. Even then this is a whole new level.

During a game strong players will look away from the board and visualise variations returning to the current position and following different lines. It is part of the pattern recognition of the frontal cortex. (Susan Polgar did a documentry on how top chess players think, this was in the early 2000s) Very strong players have increadibly strong memory for chess lines and games which they can play through in their head just from reading the game notation. Try visualising this variation scholars mate for example. 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5 3. Qh5 Nf6 4 Qxf7# Could you see the starting position on the diagram board, then follow the pieces? Players who learn openings can differentiate the game positions in their mind by recalling the type of game and what has been played since they deviated from the main line. Stong neuron connectivity for the main line and ideas allows temporary memorisation to build from that point onwards for these simul games. Edit notation one number.

lol nobody laughed at that one.

Typical Giri humor

@@mehdimehdikhani5899 that made it super awkward.

Sometimes Giri makes me laugh out loud, this is one of those moments.

Those beaches didn't get that coz they were going to get defeated

f6? For a GM, blind or not, it's nothing and for a Club Player easy to find. In tactics books this would be in the category "beginners". I just wonder how helpless those victims were to the standard mating attack Qd2, 0-0-0, Bh6, Ng5 / h4-h5, xg6 - mate. I believe, opponents who had never played chess before and just learned the rules right before the game, would have offered more resistance for they would have played more abnormal. This was automatic.

@Ranadip Dutta thats the joke

@Ranadip Dutta that's some big whoosh right there

🤣 funny joke

@@serenagoat4228 and a really bad one. It's so bad it's not even a joke. This joke is used when we are talking about the younger version of the guy whereas in this video Anish Giri has already achieved everything op has commented.

I don't mind losing as long as it's blindfolded

You can concentrate more with a blindfold than without.

No you can't. Don't forget you also have to make legal moves. You can't just say any move that comes to your mind.

magnus is at another level.

If there was time pressure, he would have played the same way, chill.

@@prachiipandeyyHe sure would have.. 👍👍

His opponents were under time preasure as well. People need to rap their minds around the fact that among titled players this isn't exactly astonishing.

@@inderjeetchawla527 His opponents were under time preasure as well. People need to rap their minds around the fact that most people rated 2300+ can do this.

Are you serious? All 3 were wins by Giri.

@@bloedeter it was a joke bro

@@bloedeter lol what a noob

​@@bloedeterr/whoosh

bloedeter Anish draws a lot of game so it's a joke

queen takes pawn H7

Oh so it's checkmate on next white move huh. Thx

@@bluem516 technically it's not because black Can throw some checks like Ne2+ to delay the mate, but it's basically mate in a few moves anyway

It’s mate in 3 moves

The threat is Qxh7#. There are only three legal moves than Black can play in order to avoid mate next move. The first one is Ne2+ and White answers with Bxe2 and we are back to the same issue. Then Black can play one of the two other legal moves, which are Re8 or Rd8. Then White plays Qxh7+, Kf8 is forced and Qxf7 is mate. So we have the mate in 3: Ne2+ Bxe2 Rd8 (or Re8) Qxh7+ Kf8 Qxf7#.

read the description

Barely, not really any game to these! All Anish had to do was develop his pieces then move his queen to the kingside and all three of them collapsed on the spot lmao

Not really, most of them prefer to see, other wise they would close their eyes while thinking, and this doesn't happen like 95% of the times, even though they can it doesn't mean it's better to process info this way, still more efficient to think by seeing the board

mate in 2

most grandmasters can do it even some international masters like levy, he beat 3 at once

@@rigelkent True, but at the point in his chess career he was closer in skill to the average FM so I'd venture to say that you can beat one person blindfolded at 1500 and 3 people at 2300.

Nope, board 3 is a 2000.

@@samuelallan7452 u cant (yet) I believe, I think it is a metaphor

@@erikdevries4597 If he would have said "One wouldn't get that lost in 20 moves against AlphaZero" this would be totally a metaphor, but since he said he in particular doesn't get that lost against AlphaZero, it is a poor one :) Plus if he knows where one can play against Alpha0 I would very much like to find out! (Genuinely)

There really isn't any difference in memory, Giri could easily play a clock simul as well. Magnus is just a stronger player and the moves in a variety of different positions come extremely quickly to him

@@DanLyndon They weren't playing at 2000 level

Dan Lyndon The point is his memory. He keeps track of the boards effortlessly.

Y M Doesn’t look so, Giri has trouble to keep track of the boards even without a clock.

there is a gm who played blindfolded like 50 guys, that is a really good memory, btw dont compare gms they all are very strong and have a really good memory and calculation skills even when they arent looking the boards

Qxh7+ is coming next move regardless of what black plays, supported by the knight... If Re8 by black, then Q×h7 Kf8 Qxf7#. Black can't stop mate

simul just means playing multiple matches at once, so its actually the exact same
