For the interviewer, great job on letting magnus talk.

Magnus is changing the game! Never before have you been able to get this much access to a World Champion, understand his thoughts, lessons, and actually play against him! Gotta love the times in which we live.

0:35 Sorry About that 04:21 What’s the idea here? 07:03 Captures Captures Oh…wrong channel!

It’s quite a sight to know that amongst chess geniuses Magnus is levels above them.

No wonder he is so strong! Even when he is breaking down the game, he is still analyzing and always finding new moves. His passion for the game is truly something else

I havent seen someone say GM magnus carlsen in a while, his title is World champion magnus carlsen

Love these play by plays from Magnus, not only is he a wizard of a chess player but he knows how to explain his logic and understanding of the game in a very cogent manner.

it feels illegal to watch this free video lesson.

It’s insane that it looks like that are hanging pieces but have a greater plan in place and both players see it.

12:44 Super GM's have this power of knowing something works despite calculation

I love how Magnus manages to break a very important rule on the third move.

Magnus is the reason why I play chess

I wonder if Magnus has ever done an IQ test. Would be interested to see what he would score and if there is any correlation with IQ and chess genius..

After reading about so many world champions of the past it is wonderful to see the World's champion perform so readily to the public.

Finally a video from Magnus Carlsen that ACTUALLY have Magnus in the video

love the vid keep doing what you are doing Magnus!!

John: Why do people play the Slav? Magnus: I think that’s a question you should ask CHI-NA

Go Magnus!

Love Star Trek.

The matching jackets actually look great, like you're in some hardcore chess gang haha

Whenever I see Magnus explain something I always wish he would speak his native language and it has subtitles so he can express what he wants to more accurately.

One of the most spectacular games in recent history. What a time to be in chess

Magnus thank you for posting these highly informative videos, it’s brilliant to watch your thought process.

The world's greatest chess player with the world's greatest chess teacher. This is sublime analysis!

I feel immensely happy for John.

Whenever Magnus gives you a free piece, you know you will be checkmated

Great stuff! More of this please, fascinating to see such insights directly from Magnus! 🧙🏼‍♂️

At the end I've smiled at the title of the video, containing "strategy", while most of the game was so much tactical. And then they made a really important point, how much of an impact these preparational moves had. Without a single one of these moves half of this tactics wouldn't work. A really important message made by both lectures here is that you have to know when preparations are enough and it's time to go for tactics

SUPER GM calculations blows my mind

If i am not mistaken, this could have ended much sooner. 17:30 if we place queen to h8 we are giving check, and black can either take the queen with bishop or move his queen to the g8. If black takes the queen with bishop, we just take bishop with rook, so in the end black is forced to play queen g8. Now we can move knight to g6 giving a check, forcing black king to move away from black queen. Then we take the black queen giving the check mate.

This is so much more interesting than watching youtubers discussing engine lines

More of these please! Incredibly insightful and fun to watch. Plus the matching jackets are pretty nice :)

Make more of videos like these, we love them and Magnus!!!😘🤗😊

Great video!

Great stuff!

The sharpest game I've ever seen Magnus play. Really fun and enjoyable, so good

Teacher: which side is stronger? Student: whichever side the magnus is.

Love how much Magnus and John actually get along, they seem to actually like each other. This position was unbelievable: 14:14

Great video sir thanks for the video keep making more such videos on this Channel keep doing the good

This is amazing!! Never thought I would see Magnus himself analyzing this unbelievable, electrifying game! And unsurprisingly, it was much more complicated and mind-boggling that one could ever begin to imagine. Thanks for posting it!

Best quality microphone Carlsen has ever used - completely changed my perception of what he sounds like. Really ruins all the Carlsen scenes in my spank bank. But it's okay, coming up with them is the fun part.

I took a few lessons from John Bartholomew. He's super chill, and I enjoyed them. I wish top level chess players pushed for more chess 960 or no castling variant, however, as I just don't appreciate all the opening theory that has to be learned to play chess at top levels. ~2000 USCF player here, so not like that was what was holding me back, but it sure feels that way. Arimaa and chess960 both get out of the 'opening book' within a move or two, none of this, "...and now as of move 17, we have a completely new game." Love your play Magnus, thanks for being dr drunkenstein and not super uptight/paranoid like some prior WCs!

Why not do A3 and push the knight instead of being captured?

Please share how to memorize the positions of the chess pieces

Not making Nf4 move unless bishop is at e6 for it would have been forced to vacate by g5 move is the important lesson for me, thanks ❤.

Big fan sir ,, You are A genius....

Aw how cute, they have matching jackets! John sleeps on the bottom bunk!

Key Moments 4:50 I have turned long castle into short castle 13:18 Bishop to a6!! wow, probably not needed, Bishop to e2 is better, clearing the route for the Queen, to the h-file 16:35 Amazing move by Li Chao: Knight to c4 18:18 All the difference in the world: taking the Queen with check; Wow. 25:00 If u want to go for an attack from the start, and not care about anything else, then tune into another course.

Thanks Magnus..from 🇮🇳INDIA🇮🇳

I remember clearly this game with 2 attacks on opposite sides - fascinating game!

Magnus is the legend but john made me love chess

It's great to have a free lesson from Magnus Carlsen himself! Edit: 50 likes rly?

This is the point. Weakest pawn is attacked. Thank you magness trainer

wow!!! I gave like even before seen the video. the world champion teach us . so kind and we appreciate that very much.

You must make this video like that every week. Mantaappu Jiwa

Magnus is undoubtedly the strongest player of all time. There are greater players, but Carlsen is just an engine on legs. Pleased to be alive during the Carlsen era!

John is getting some top-notch private lessons here. He will be a GM in no time! Let us see Magnus analyze one of John’s games.

I bet for Magnus 2860-2880 rating, even 7/9 at a relatively strong open tournament would result in a performance rating that is less than his actual rating... no wonder he avoids them... it's just a sure fire way to lose rating, even if he wins the tournament!

At the base of all Magnus tactics is is almost instantaneous recognition of who stands better in practically every position. That is an understanding of chess deeper than anyone else in the world at this time. All hail the King!

Magnus is the pawn walk and king walk for the ages master. Thanks Agadmator.

15:50 iWC : looks like a simple win . IM mortal : it looks like a complete mess

What a great game! White just had to check with every move towards the end of that attacking sequence, and if he failed to do so, black would win quickly. Easy to see why Magnus is the top dog of the chess world.

The Greatest hands down!! Good to be back....

the smile on "one opportunity"

I am watching my favourite chess player magnus carlsen on my birthday🤗🤗

Definitely a MASTER CLASS!! Thx chessable and thx Mr. Carlsen!!

i am waiting for this

Magnus !! 🔥 😍

If the whole course goes like this, it is a mild disaster. Moves like Rc1 are left unaxplained, there’s a lot of moves here, moves there, and not sure what strategy is there in this game of tactics. Does anyone feel Magz prepared for this, or anyway designed a course?

At 6:18 why do not occupate field d5 for black? After exchange on d5 white get a bad bishop on e3 and black have strong point and probably can to fight for C-line

At 14:13"Not for the claustrophobic!" LOL

Thank you💯

This is golden a world champion sharing his thoughts.

So many lines, so little time, I wish I can also do this kind of feat.

This was amazing! The greatest player of all time explaining a top-level game in detail, which shows the way he thinks.

John and Magnus out here looking ready to board Starship Enterprise

Magnus you are a great mind, not only as a chessplayer. It is a real pleasure to follow your comments of the game. Thank you very much for this very instructive chess lesson.

That Magnus guy seems to be a strong player, hope the best for him

Fascinating insights into a sparklingly complicated game. How lucky we are to hear the champion sharing his thought processes

Hi Magnus, I am your biggest fan. I would like to meet you one day in person. I always wondering about you. You are a fantabulous chess king. 👏💝👏

I can listen to magnus talking about grass all day and I will gladly listen to it the full time 😂

I love you Magnus Keep playing the way you do and keep entertaining us with phenomenal games! Really hope I see you one day BIG FAN FROM LONDON

21:57 John with his Americanism 🤣🤣

You just hits 300k. Congratulations Magnus Carlsen!!

Looking 10 moves ahead when there's this many possible changes in the game? Anyone that can do that is as close to a computer as you can get.

What we think while the explanation: Is the Carlsen head that big or it's just the perspective?

thats a very deep calculation. thats why Magnus is my favorite player

Amazing both realized that its a race for time but magnus did better strategy & risk combination. Amazing game

Magnus Carlsen is, slowly but surely, transforming into Wilhelm Steinitz.

Very instructive and also way over my head

Wow - what a great game and facinating commentary. Thank you

Are you gonna only talk about Magnus? No Bartholomew fans here?

That was exceptional! Thank you

Indeed highly instructive. Thanks.

I love that Carlsens son is also so into chess

John is so funny i love him

This type of videos are very useful for me magnus u r legend buddy

YOU ARE BEST

This is what i was waiting for. Getting a chess tips and lessons from none other than world champion is just fabulous. Thanks for this sir🙏🙏
