Hopefully was too boring!

@@epicchess2021 not at all! You did a good job of balancing the analysis of the game and keeping it moving forward. There were a lot of moves in this game and you covered it fairly quickly, while I still feel like I learned some things that I can improve my game with. Subscribed!

Makes u wanna understand how fast and how powerful human mind is...

and decades of experience to even get to that point

With engines almost anyone could analyze lines.

🔥

Thank you

i love u

thanks mate

Thank u

Yeah agreed so impressive! Thanks for watching

@Karl with a K you mean to tell me that Magnus Is not talented? Why doesn't anyone practice as hard as Magnus then and be just as good. I'm not saying that he doesn't practice, quite opposite, he practices as much as anyone but he's certainly a gifted individual

yes. he won against anatoly karpov at child age.

Thanks a lot, Jess, appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed, cheers for watching!

Have to agree, your explanation of the line is incisive. A few variations for fun, but this is different ❤

Yeah he is insanely good!! Thanks for watching

Thanks so much really appreciate it

Magnus is insane in everything not just endgame.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot Paul!

Oh glad to hear! Cheers for watching

Thanks and cheers for watching

no worries thanks for watching!

Thanks very much appreciate it, cheers for watching

Yeah haha so we’ll prepared!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot appreciate it!

Yeah absolutely and thanks for the references!

You played a timed simul? That's unusual

@@orendafni iMs and GMs host these simuls on Lichess and occasionally you can get a game against a titled player by looking for them in a simul like this, we played along with maybe 11 others.

Oh nice work! Still a very good result well played, didn't even know he was doing simuls

@@epicchess2021 You can find titlerd players hosting simuls on Lichess quite often, there is no greater feeling than the first time you realize you've beaten a titled player, like the first IM or 2400 level player, it is almost enough to make a man change careers haha, nah, couldn't do that, i want it to remain enjoyable and the moment it becomes a job, i feel like it would be much like writing is to me now, just what i do to make a living, put my son through college and pay my bills. It's not the same kind of passion when you're 38 and have been doing that-thing-you're-doing for 21 years. I started playing chess in 2017 after I was in a serious car accident, and while I did physical therapy I would play chess with my physical therapist and gradually realized I had a pretty intuitive feel for the game, after all it is just math with extra steps :P cheers man, thanks for being cool enough to talk to your viewers in the comments. It's something I've always tried to do over at our channel - it's some real nerdy shit haha, cheers man, love ya vids. I wish you would evaluate user submissions, I have some absolutely mind-melting drunken-ninja master tactics at my best, very interesting stuff, I hope you're well mate

Thanks very much appreciate it!

Thanks a lot! Cheers for watching

Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed and cheers for you watching. At least you can play people online really easily even though not many of your friends play

Nah, it's just the usual engine-time. You put in a move, the engine starts to evaluate every move, and first thinks "oh, I can take, I'm up 2 pawns" - then it continues with this line, sees that five, six, seven moves later the pawn will advance to a queen and you're down material. It's not like there is a winning move for black, it's just that the engine takes some time to evaluate/calculate the position. A really, really short time, but for a quick second the eval bar changes.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks very much appreciate it!

Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed!

Thanks a lot!

I don't like the knight on f6.. KEKW

Oh I dunno maybe it just messed up because Magnus was always winning I think

@@epicchess2021 I see!

You would have to give a time stamp, the knight and pawn were in those positions for like the first 4 minutes of the video. If you're talking about the very beginning, before it was defended, 1:09 until the a and d pawns began to move, i can't tell you why Fabi didn't take it, I would assume he just didn't want to go with that line. But its not a bad move at all as far as I know. Computer seems to think its fine, but not one of the best moves. My guess is that the knight is just in a vulnerable position there with no defenders. There's really not a piece on the board the can go to defend it, (the d pawn would be hanging, and the f pawn would open up the diagonal for checks and is normally a horrible idea to move early in the game before you have castled. So it can be easily kicked out by white just continuing his development, meaning fabi just has to move the knight again at the cost of developing another piece. Really the only thing I can think of, but im not that good either, so if there is a tactic im missing, someone should feel free to share

@@griffinq8003 Thank you so much for your comment. That makes total sense. I was, as you guessed correctly, referring to the beginning of the game before the pawn was defended. I think the extra move with the knight, and falling down on development against Magnus isn't the best way to go. As a novice I tend to take too many pawns that are 'presented' to me without thinking about the consequences.

I think it is because at high level u play after already established routines quite often, especially in the first half of the game and hope that the opponent doesn't remember the or figure out what u are going for, in such games 2 moves for just 1 pawn isn't worth it when u are giving the opponent 2 extra movements to get pieces into important positions, white would immediately move a pawn forward to threaten the knight which would have to move back and then white has another move to get ahead of movements for the usual tactics I would probably go for the pawn since I am an intuitive player and just having the advantage of one less pawn for a diamond formation always makes it more interesting to see how the game developes from there 🙂

Thanks and noted yeah I do less now these days

Sorry I can’t recall the details!

Yeah you are right with it all if the white pawn starts running but if black plays fxg5 and you therefore start running the white f pawn, the black king can get back just in time

@@epicchess2021 Oh yeah i got it. Thanks

Different game! Similarly thumbnail though you’re right, I’ll mix it up next time , thanks for watching Karath

Right, so /each/ player has a clock of their own, which records the amount of time they have left. Each clock starts at 3m and ticks down, with 1s added to a player's clock every time that player makes a move. Only one player can lose on time. It's not like, say, basketball. So if you bleed down your clock, you're only disadvantaging yourself, and you could even lose. Make sense?

As Sheryl says, but if you have no pieces left and your opponent has enough pieces with the capability to checkmate (e.g. a rook or a pawn that might promote) and your opponent loses on time, it is a draw.

@@sherylbegby Yep, that helps a lot, thanks!

@@EdMcF1 Quite right!

ah I maybe missed that one! Thanks for pointing out

Same 😅

no worries thanks for watching

Oh sorry to hear! I like to think i follow through in the video in what the title promises broadly speaking

Unless I missed something in the title about Levy Rozman becoming gm then I fail to see any clickbait. 📍 pin-o-shame!

What clickbait?

Yeah sorry I was having a nightmare this game! Thanks for persevering…!

Haha that’s pretty cool

Haha that’s pretty cool

Yeah agreed!

I’m working on it in newer videos!

Oh maybe that way too I forget the position sorry!

Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!

Sorry I forget the position!

Thanks a lot!

I'll bear that one in mind for future!

Sorry the pawn move!

True

Yeah how he won it was amazing, thanks for watching, Aryan

🤣🤣

Loses if White takes Black bishop as recapturing pawn promotes. If Black takes King has to go to a5 and takes 10 moves to promote a pawn, but in that time White gets a Queen in 6 moves by taking on f6 and promoting, so White gets the Queen first.

@@EdMcF1 I was actually thinking black would make the exchange but he had just explained that earlier. Thanks!

Yeah and I covered that game recently 😁

Yeah that is defo a problem at times

Thanks Robert!

Nic work!!

😁

Yeah!

😂

You do know that Goats feeds on actors and legends right? Norris wouldn't stand a chance. Steven Seagal on the other hand, you only see a glimmer and you're gone.

Lame joke, go back to 2007

Yeah overhyped a bit true !

King if aiming at a middle rating viewer with these is my plan

haha thanks for watching!

Yeah I know what you mean, I didn’t like that either, tho I’m referencing chess but true all aspects are important

Niemann’s been suspected of cheating by many masters before that scandal even happened lol. Don’t know how a guy who has a history of cheating being called a cheater is “atrocious”? like no one cares about that old drama anymore

Oh thanks a lot! I’ll have a think about that, one of the trickiest things is adjusting what comes naturally but always appreciate when people give me these little tips, cheers for watching

@@epicchess2021 It works for me, I wouldn't want you to change anything, great analysis, entertaining.

No offence taken I always appreciate the feedback! Yeah I do do some shorts as well at times just literally showing the move. With longer ones I’ll always be showing the whole game really. Thanks for watching anyway tho

@@epicchess2021 Thanks for your reply! I assume as a youtuber your goal is to increase the number of your subscribers. If that is the case, I think you should put some serious effort in making your content much more entertaining. Reaching out to those viewers too, who are interested about chess as a game in general, but not necessarily want to watch you analizing chess moves straight for 13 minutes in the exact same tone. I wish you the best.

Fair , appreciate the feedback , for real!

Boring, but effective! Most of his opponents try to play as solid as possible against him, and he can patiently outplay them all by maintaining a tempo advantage and consistently testing them throughout the game. Even if he loses tempo or even the advantage, he still finds a way to force his opponents to find 1 or 2 precise moves in most positions and earn their victory the hard way. Magnus takes what his opponent offers in big tournaments, so if you watch him and Hikaru, you will see many tactical games and exciting/creative moves. If you want creativity and excitement, watch his less serious games he plays while streaming. You can’t fault the man for playing winning chess! If he plays too creatively, he leaves the door open for these super GMs to get a distinct advantage. He’s playing Fabi in this game, do you expect him to open with H4?

@@kennethkretschmer1027 if i want to see someone consistenly and boringly destroying opponent i would watch stockfish or alfa zero. magnus is nowhere near them. but chess is a game, and first of all its value in its beauty. carlsen is not capable of those, so...
