Had no idea who Magnus gonna put in different categories, but the moment he said annoying, I knew it would be Nakamura.

A video of Carlsen selecting himself for all of these would have been brilliantly funny.

who wouldve thought that "annoying" was the biggest compliment he gave

Magnus: knows like 15 moves deep into any opening known to man Also Magnus: doesn’t know how to spell the name of his world chess championship opponent

They clearly had a resilient category and Magnus said “Can we change this to annoying?”

saying how he was considering all 16 including himself and still putting Nepo in the Genius category (over himself) says a lot about the respect he has for Ian.. Will for sure be an amazing WC match!

Putting Nakamura in the "annoying" category speaks volumes on his ability. I'd argue it's best to be annoying when playing the best chess player in the world. I think it means he puts up the toughest fights.

I like how Magnus tried to write Nepo's name but pretty quikly resigned

Agree with Anish. Like when I see him stand, talk, or play chess, I also describe it as finesse. Especially his hands when moving the pieces, it's so royal/cool for some reason

Dubov is by far the most entertaining player at the moment.

Nakamura's annoyingness is shown in the current rapid and blitz championship, he literally has not lost a single game, sad he had to drop out because of Covid.

Wow he is correct. Nepo is indeed the quickest 😂 he blitzed through the wcc like it's rapid

Everyone has a Hikaru story

He knows his opponents very well

Him putting hikaru in annoying category made me laugh Like its not hating on him But it was funny

Hikaru is annoying according to Magnus - no matter how he sugar-coated it, it is official! Decent! Annoying!

Magnus had a famous winning streak vs Nakamura. I feel like he wanted to say “annoying, just annoying”.

Quickest - Alireza. At the same time almost in all candidates 2022 games was out of time.

him not putting hikaru in entertainment is hilarous lmao

The quickest and devilishly tricky:)

saying ian is the most genius and then destroying him in the wcc is quite sus xD

Nep broke down bad after game 6. That's why Carlsen didn't choose himself and gave away the genius category, cause a genius isn't necessarily harder to beat. Come to think of it, didn't Carlsen specifically say Nakamura is the hardest to beat? That means I can make an inspirational speech about how finesse and genius doesn't matter, as long as you're the most annoying.

Carlsen be like i can accept someone being more brilliant than me but i draw the line at being funny

I'm quite amused by his ranking himself as most entertaining. That is indeed entertaining

Can't believe the "FTX crypto cup" was a real thing LOL

0:30 ..aaaand he crushed that genius 7.5-3.5

The American dream broke down when Magnus evalued Fischer, lol.

Glad to see the world champion p recalculating his rivals traits.

Funny how Hikaru calls Magnus “Magnus”, but Magnus calls Hikaru “Nakamura”. Hopefully that made sense 😂

I had expected him to put nakamura in entertaining catagory but wow when it came down to annoying i knew it, its going to be naka, toatally worth it but I still think naka brings lots of entertainment to chess world both in and out the board

Nakamura really is a genius. And a tough opponent for real.

Wow I didn't realise Giri is only 2 years older than me. What am I doing with my life?!😂

Ironically, Magnus is an undisputed genuis, he calculates very quickly, he's very resiliant in the rare situations in which he is on the back foot and his play style is all about finesse rather than blowing up the board. However, because he mostly wins by getting a small advantage in the middle game and then grinding people down in a long, technical endgame, he's not exactly the most entertaining player. Think about it, if I just ran up to you and said "dude, I just saw this amazingly entertaining game played by a top GM!", your mind would probably jump to Dubov, or Giri, maybe Nakamura, but definitely not Magnus. On the other hand, if I ran up to you and said, "dude, look at this, Magnus just won a pretty amazing game!", you wouldn't think "oh? this should be entertaining", you would probably think "fiiiiine, let's stare at Stockfish lines for the next 3 hours and pretend like we have any clue what's going on." Just saying...

Magnus, prophetically knowing he will defeat Nepo, is secretly hoping Hikaru decides to go for world championship and plays him in made for prime time tournament.

Pretty good but don't forget vishy is also extremely fast and if you say online. Andrew has extreme speed

I can see why Nakamura would be the most annoying for Carlsen because chess has two totally different way of solving. Carlsen said that he can see possible moves instantly and best moves correctly in 90%+ of cases but have to break down the moves to check it, and that’s what consumes his time. While Nakamura seemed to be the opposite, he blurted out details of the moves and see that it’s okay tactically while others that sees it otb for them it seemed like an ugly moves and don’t know why Naka would play that. When you see Carlsen’s blunder esp in blitz it was tactical blunder that even lower level chess players would notice. The answer is perhaps he didn’t even bother to calculate the moves and it looked good to him. So for him seeing Naka moves he must have kept thinking,” what an ugly moves, it must be better for me somewhere down the line.” Then if the game ended up in draw it must have been frustrating.

Who's here after Ding "Chilling" Liren got crowned to see whether his name is here?

I thought he would have Alireza as genius and Hikaru as quick. Giri definitely takes the finese cake.

OMG THE WAY HE PUT HIMSELF AT THE ENTERTAINING ONE XD

That mouse pointer was messing with my head

Entertaining WC

I agree with the quickest one.,.ali reza has superior observation and calculation

"Genius? Nepo. I can't even spell his name..."

Realistically every grandmaster is a chess genius, however, it’s gonna be hard for Carlsen(Greatest player ever) to think that any of his peers are genius.

He gives great answers actually

But the scariest of them all is WESLEY SO.

The best part is the cursor still on the screen

Magnus sounds sarcastic when explaining on ali "..... at least on computer screen" . We all still remember when ali lose twice on time against magnus, then after that he hit the table lmao.

carlsen: annoying would be nakamura nakamura: and I took that personally

So youre telling me this guy has 10‘000 played chess games saved in his head, but cant remember nepo‘s name? :D

Just being able to pronounce, let alone spell most of these names is pretty impressive.

can you imagine magnus picking himself to all the category

Anyone know that the music playing to this is? I love it

Most entertaining has to be Giri

I can't look away from the mouse cursor in the bottom middle of the screen lmao

Nice! I did not see the rundown because of all the "watch this next" ads :( I mean I could check, but my memory is not as good as Magnus and will just leave instead.

There should have been a category for Hans Nieman, like who works their ass off to defeat you?

What is the mousepointer doing on the screen?

Hikaru was an easy one to predict haha

The world championship match should Magnus & Nakamura.

Hikaru sees this as a win.

I thinks dubov is the most entertaining player, the quickest is without a doubt MVL.

Alireza might be quick in chess, but I'm quicker in sex 😔🤟

*Update: *Annoying: Hans Niemman*

In definitive, the quickest was Maxime Vachier-Lagrave a.k.a. "la fusée" ("the rocket"), closely followed by Alireza. So Magnus was almost right.

he answers it like chat GPT

Мне нравится как он произнес Ян Непомнящий. Четко!

Couldve put daniil dubov in the "entertaining" spot 👁💋👁

Dude, the mouse pointer

Background music name?

For genius I was waiting for Carlsen to say "me, 4 years ago".😎

Bit disappointing he picked himself in the entertainment category. Dubov is who I woulda picked.

I was born the same year as Firouja, and I’m just jealous lol

"At least on a computer screen" lmfao we all know why he said that

Magnus was born to roast Hikaru🤣

what is this background music?

Magnus must really had high hopes for Alireza Ferouza but damn dude didnt sustain as strong as he started

What’s the music?

1 year ago: quickest alireza- candidates this year alireza is the slowest candidate. 1 year ago: genius nepomniatchi - candidates this year "back to his true self, playing poor moves quickly"~carlsen

and there is Wesley So who always beat/ nearly can beat Magnus but both were Genius

genius : carlsen ent : nakamura fin : giri qui : mvl enno : radjabov ( but ı love him so much) ı said radja because he is so solid. bearly mistakes strong calculating.

I mean I understand there can be some sneaky mistakes while editing, but how the hell do you forget a cursor on the video screen?

I thought he was going to name Daniel Dubov as the most entertaining

People missing why Nakamura is ranked as most annoying, he is not annoying to Carlsen because he is toxic but because he is "good at finding defensive resources in worse positions

Magnus: remembers thousands of chess games Also Magnus: can I remember how to spell his name??

What happened to this year's FTX Crypto Cup? 🙃

I thought he was going to say Niemann is the most annoying.

Why is there a mouse on the video?

Funny part that Ian's surname is misspelled. Transliterating his name from Russian, it would be Nepomniashchiy, or Nepomniaschiy. But someone got it wrong and even I, native Russian speaker, have hard time remembering how did they write it. Guess now Ian doesn't want to bother himself with making it correct in his documents because it's too much bureaucracy out of nowhere.

FTX crypto cup? Boy that didn't age well

Magnus truly is a G.O.A.T

0:31 uh so wrong to hear this after today's game against Ding Liren xD

Magnus GOAT

the annoying category simply means, who is the hardest to play against, so in other words he ranks nakamura the best of his opponents

After fide 2022, Who can say alireza is quickest 😂😂

After 1yr, I can say that Alireza is not the quickest.Ian Nepomniachtchi is the quickest.proved in candidates 2022.

Decent.

Conclusion: There are lots of player

Se eligió a sí mismo debido a q él juega la partida aunque este en un final de 0.1 de ventaja
