I like how GM Dave Howell had to essentially resort to a game that Magnus would have only seen maybe once, in passing, on TV to get anywhere close to tripping him up. It's why Magnus is so incredibly difficult to beat, he has an unparellelled memory for chess positions. I wonder how many decades worth of chess positions he has at his finger tips. Also keep in mind that he's doing this without the benefit of any pieces as well. Incredible. Just incredible.

The basic combination he played against Hammer in position 4, called Anastasia's Mate, was the very first real combination I got to pull off in tournament chess 41 years ago (1982). I was an up-and-coming 1586, and I beat a 2075, who took a pawn on d4, and missed Qh7+ Kh7 Rh3# (with a Ne7 in place that he thought my last move, Qh4, was simply defending). He was also the strongest player I had beaten to that point in only my 7th tournament. Every time I see that mate, it brings back good memories. Magnus' memory is just incredible. WOW!

This memory is similar to the ones we see from concert pianist for example. Pianist can remember thousands of songs that have thousands notes by song. Many times there is no need to remember each exact note because they know what pattern should follow.

@kimaboe 9 ай бұрын

Indeed, a study was done testing strong chess players' memory of board positions, and the player immediately struggled when the position had more than 32 pieces on the board, because it doesn't make sense in the "language". I always think of their pattern recognition like how we can recognise words even if they are slightly misspelled, meaning someone like Magnus can identify key positional concepts from a game, even if he hasn't seen the exact board position before. And when it comes to identifying the game, imagine how if we combine four or five words into a chunk of a song-lyric, we can recognise it immediately even though we have heard thousands of songs in our lives. "You know the rules and so do I" are some pretty generic lyrics, but chances are you recognised it right away even though you weren't born when the song came out.

But I can recognize most of them by hearing few notes from their melody. I drop the pianist example, because I am an amateur pianist my self, I notice many times how easy is for me to see the first 20 notes of a song and remember all of them just watching them play once, instead someone who does not play piano, I see them fail with just 4 notes.

It's crazy. He missed the one that he has seen in a movie 😂 He has memorized every real game. That's crazy.

Next time give him an empty board and ask him to guess the position you are thinking in your head😂😂. Who knows, he might do that too

i thought it was going to be someone just like listing the positions of the pieces with no board and was confused bc like yeah that's impressive but there are IMs who can do that, and then i clicked on the video and honestly cannot fathom how different this man's brain is. this is one of the most impressive things i've ever witnessed.

I couldn't remember a position I had last week let alone 1999 - even if it was an immortal game. Another level!

The music in the background is interesting, one can't help but remember that Mugnus is dubbed the "Mozart of Chess" 😂

When the AIs take over, at least humanity has a chance with Magnus on our side

As Magnus said, they were famous games/his games, but still this is sickening! What an incredible show of memory and pattern recognition!!

Magnus should not be named GM anymore. He’s on his own league. Magnus is chess himself. Should get his own title. GOAT

I have been looking at every Magnus' Banter Blitz over the last few years. Still, when I look at videos like this, I perceive his strength differently. He is barely human.
