How to beat Magnus: When he extends his hand to grab a piece, you immediately grab his hand before he can take the piece and shake his hand while saying "Good game man, but I was stronger"

The man sure owes his whole career to these clips

Crazy that without these clips we wouldn't know who magnus is

Famous since he was 12, all because of a bunch of clips of him in his early 30s. Impressive

Glad this small time chess streamer is finally getting the recognition he deserves!

0:46 give the man his hi five 😭

What a funny guy. Maybe he could make a career out of chess, even though i doubt that'll happen

He’s such a likable humble guy. He will always be the peoples champ

2:20 imagine you're in the next room over and you just hear Alex start screaming "go deeper Magnus"

6:31 magnus being relatable

4:07 honestly thats probably the highest form of compliment you can be given by Magnus

6:53 The good thing about this is that he walks the talk 🔥

They play chess so damn fast in person jeez, it’s ridiculous. Hats off to all the chess players.

5:41 Peak camera settings

3:45. Absolute love these types of moments during tournaments. It really breaks the tension and lifts the mood up a bit

yeah these clips made him famous , the world championship? meh never heard about that

1:13 LMAOOO THAT BOUNCE

"when did i understand it was a draw?" "I understood it immediately." The wise words of the 5-time world chess champion

6:34 magnetic carlsen

one of the smartest persons in the world and he exhales chaos, joy, calmness and humor, gotta love that guy

The fact that the world chess champ is a funny, goofy, ironic , partying genius with a funny and endearing accent is just perfect. The dude is just a solid guy all around. Fun loving fella. Not all serious n shit like some other chess players!!! He's an amazing ambassador to the game

Sadly, I reckon we'll never get such a World Champion again

top 5 chess players in the world 1) shirtless Magnus Carlsen 2) late Magnus Carlsen 3) Magnus Carlsen 4) drunk Magnus Carlsen 5) tired Magnus Carlsen

I love how 6:07 explains what kind of a GM Magnus is. As far as GMs can see into the future, he knows that a game isn't concluded until it is concluded. That's probably why his endgame is venomous.

0:46 bro did a checkmate but forgot to check his mate

“Women hate me” “Excellent answer”

4:13 "decent" speed chess finals: i'm stronger i'm faster, i am better, I AM BETTER

Well, tbf, for those who are out of the loop, someone would have unironically known Magnus through these clips. It's one of those genuine moments where one can think "wait, he's the world champion and not just some genius chess streamer?"

3:39 Commentator: "😐 and that was the funniest moment of perhaps the entire Norway chess event 😐"

0:12 Hilarious how the guy on the right says "DON'T DO IT!" like it already happened once and he knew it was bound to happen again so he is just there to keep Magnus from ripping his shirt off in a rage.

Cant believe he went from streaming to chess champion!

7:20 "It's surprising to see him do this" NOTHING is surprising to see him do infront of a chess board except for loosing.

3:30 “Beating a 16yo”😳

7:13 "coming through thick and fast" lmao

I love how genuine he is

0:46 drunk magnus never leaves a piece hanging, but he can leave High-fives hanging

His charisma helped popularize chess for these newer generations

It’s amazing watching someone who has always been on the bottom, work his way to the top.

magnus is on one hand the closest thing we get to real life stockfish on the other hand he is a god-tier memelord

If anybody else did these things they'd get flamed for being unprofessional. But it's magnus fucking carlsen. Who's gonna stop that mad lad?

2:22 oh magnus, go deeper go deeper

6:51 THAT HEADSET DENT LMFAO

World champion or not he'll always be my favourite and the undeniable GOAT

Anish Magnus and Hikaru made me love chess. Not because of their influence but because they mixed humility, humor, and intellect-they’re the full package

Magnus Carlsen has been so great for chess, with how he just combines absurd levels of ability with such a well-rounded and down-to-earth personality:

2:01 premoving irl be like

Ah the times we are living in, where the WC is some chill dude vibing away like no tomorrow lol

Today I learned that Magnus Carlsen is really just a lad

Omfg seeing magnus out there singing billy ray cyrus with the boys, definitely drunk as a skunk is so good for my heart. Magnus is such a bro!!!!

6:50 man what did his pinky do. Why doesn’t he get to be in the pocket too? 😢

Wtf did I watched 0:21

I think being the world chess champion is actually what made him famous

0:32 if someone had told me THIS is the world's best chess player I would simply laugh in their face. I would probably spit on them too, just from contempt for how dumb they think I am💀😭 we live in a SOCIETY-

It's honestly refreshing to see a chess prodigy being just a normal young men, silly and funny

6:41 epic headset hair haha

02:20 I see why Magnus is focused.

4:08 calling hikaru decent

Respect for making this video, this guy looks like he might make GM some day.

This is called charisma and u have it when u truly like waht you want in this life

3:24 take this joke with a grain of salt

Good thing for these clips, otherwise we would’ve never known who this guy was!

0:50 Nice save man, nice save! hahaha

To be fair, these clips did make him famous outside of the chess world on a level unheard of among chess players except maybe fischer after his 20 game streak.

I really love the fact that this guy is one of the smartest people walking on earth right now

Magnus spills some water Commentator: one of the funniest moments of perhaps the whole Norwegian chess tournament

0:37 best clip lol

- Women hate me, I repel them. *words of a true champion*

Ladies and Gentlemen… the best chess player of our era

that's an amazing time spent for editing there! as far as I'm concerned go on, more of this genre

this shows that magnus is just a normal dude who's just really good at chess

I appreciate the fame these clips brought to Magnus Carlsen! Who cares about his numerous world titles and elo points anyways🤷🏻‍♂

Bro he is the world champion

This channel is gold

I think what made him famous is the fact THAT HE IS THE WORLD CHAMPION

Magnus being Magnus... I can't help but to laugh. Well done on you.

His intellect made him famous, a well deserved fame. not some twitch clips

That was perhaps the funniest moment of Noway chess event

00:46 RIP that high five

Magnus is so good he literally called hikaru decent 😂

4:27 Bro was so happy to beat magnus on position while when he claimed time Classic Magnus W

I'm glad Magnus has the boys behind him

man thank god for these clips, he'd be penniless living on the streets without them

5:35 thinn magnus

he’s the number 1 in the world and he made chess looks interesting

the part "I anderstood it immediately" was hilarious

Bro took that lost personally

What i can see from Magnus Career is that every year that passes he gets more annoyed that no one came even close to his level. He became the best chess player in history by a far margin without effort while he actually just wanted to play soccer.

the crease for the headphones in Magnus’s hair in the clip around 7:00…

i would indeed not know who magnus carlsen is without these clips

3:17 WTf is dwight doing there!

"Women hate me i repel them" * "Excellent Answer" *

2:21 Close your eyes and listen

i love the bike clips so much

A blackout drunk Magnus would still be 10 times better than me sober

0:45 High five left hangin🥲

1:50 was the funniest shit I've seen in awhile ngl

2 clips I would have added would be hou yifan finding that move he didn't and the Supi queen sac mate. Really good vid though!

Dude is a really chill guy.

Magnus is the protagonist of a comedy series

Man he really knows how to get in his opponents heads and just prove that he is the best. He has a brilliant mind.
