"You're allowed to castle queenside!?"

@@theendofconfusion somebody tried to explain it when I was a kid, but I didn't really get it. If the pawns get too close, I just take them. You can castle queenside, of course, it's important to keep your queen safe.

Magnus' real tutorial: So I guess Grischuk should have learned this.

Matthew 7:21

Novice: "I go here, he goes there, I go here, he goes there". Good player: "If the king enters the square he captures". Magnus: "I AM THE SQUARE".

some people are better at explaining things than others (even a world champion) lol

hahaha^^ what an awesome comment^^ (i thought the same thing too oO)

What did you expect from someone that doesn't know the rule of the square?

@@PJ-oq4mo I expect them not to make a full video about it called “The Rule of The Square”

@@nivedhsingh2178 dude YOUR comment is the useless one because he is actually right. a lot of beginners think that grandmasters calculate 20 moves ahead every time, but in most cases it's just about pattern recognition and experience

Honestly, that's something I find the most fascinating. When people really master a skill, not just chess, the fundamentals become so ingrained that they arrive as a gut feeling rather than a conscious thought. I notice how much Magnus says things like "I feel" or "I intuitively knew". A lot of my favorite instrumentalists and people who are highly skilled at some other hobbies I have speak similarly. Can only put time in and dream of reaching that level of mastery in something!

Not really, Capablanca is on level

Mindgame is more better then endgame avengers.

@@AdityaKumar-ox3wz people only say this to make argument. Capablanca would get mowed down by anyone in the top 10 right now, let alone Carlsen, you can't compare players of the past with these guys. if in the future someone else comes along and beats Carlsen easily then they would be the best ever untill another comes along. chess players are only getting stronger with modern engines, past players are quickly outdated.

Physics in a nutshell.

Literally did this in school sometimes. Absolute genius moments.

that's my friend who had to make our Physics teacher ask our Math teacher how she had solved a problem of generators or something she just gave us as a "prank", since we had not learned about them yet. meanwhile when asking for her help with a simple equation I'd be "I did just the exact same thing you did! how can the answer not match?!", she'd take a quick look, make a polite "so close!" face, then point to my notebook and "here. you put the wrong sign" oh, well... **shrugs**

He reminds me of a native speaker who can't explain the rules of grammar to someone who wants to learn his language.

Even if he didnt say what the rule actually is, I kinda got it anyway. Basically if he took the queen one move earlier the king would be taking the queen on the C file and be one square closer to H file and would be able to catch up with the pawn and take it as it became a queen, whereas now as he moved the queen back to B, the king was also in B file instead of C and had one square extra to move and not get to H file in time. I imagine this will be intuitive for most chess players at this level and not really having to remember the rule itself.

@@Johnsli Yes exactly. On the chess board there are the same number of squares vertically as diagonally; if a pawn has to move 5 spaces to become a Queen, and the king is 5 diagonal spaces away from its final spot, then the pawn can be taken. So basically draw a square from your pawn’s position to where it can Queen. E.g. a 5x5 square. Is the king within that square? If yes, you’ll have to distract the King somehow, to get your pawn past.

Lol

@@paulkerrigan9857 better explanation than the video lul

Lol lol lol

He doesn't teach, he just shows you how it works with those moves, including good and bad results 😂

He kinda demonstrated that it doesn't work sometimes, I think that was his point ..

The rule of the square worked, because it says the king cant catch the pawn and not you are winning the game

He did teach it. He just didn't know that's what it was called.

@@ich7me618 sigh .... He demonstrated that "even though his pawn was queening and the white king couldn't reach it (because of the rule of the square) white still had a way to win by marching he king to escort his own pawn" ...

@@TheHigherSpace My comment was just for comedic purposes. I think Magnus teaches something very interesting here, but it was funny to me that at no point he shows the famous "square area" that the pawn defines when trying to queen. He kinda just mentions the word "square" but doesn't reference its geometrical meaning.

Thats a double handshake

@@ChrisHyde537, I hope he'll get away with it!

I was about to be chess world champion like Magnus, but know I possess knowledge about the rule of the square and therefore I lost all my chances. Thank you, random stranger!

i refuse to think that magnus doesnt understand the rule. Dude is a god of chess and this rule is so simple. So maybe he's acting he doesnt understand to hook people into getting into the Magnus Trainer

Thank you!

Ur Endglish wuz saw ronge

That rule works unless the pawn is on its original position, since it can move forward 2 squares on its first move

the funny thing is, it's not complicated. just look at how many squares until the pawn reaches the end of the board, then make a square with that dimension to the left and to the right of the pawn, if the king is not in either square, the king cant catch the pawn

This comment is underrated

Yeah, but you tend to be worse than Grischuk for most of the game.

It's his own app.

probably he ain't paying himself well

If you become a grand supreme elite legend fuckboi of beyblade and try to teach a scrub the dynamics of vertical thrust force in relation the spin of the blade, then you're going to find yourself coming up short a lot of the time. Once you know SO much about something it becomes difficult to gauge where others are at - and this gap makes it hard to teach because you don't know what they don't know and you don't know what's appropriate for their level., since you might as well be teaching a 30 year old a tactic/motif you understood when you were five. What does it take to teach? It certainly doesn't take being the best at the thing you're teaching.

hes tired probably? 😁

Yep ikr

not one of the greatest, *THE GREATEST*.

😂😂😂😂

2:48 actually.

Lemme teach you 1. Count the number of squares (including where the pawn) is to queening 2. Take that number as one side of a square and draw it horizontally on the board too, this will form a square 3. If the king can enter within that square in his next move, he is able to stop the pawn

@@Faust4541 GOD! You just beat carlsen to dust.

@@Faust4541 let me re-teach because you don't need to count anything, you just go along the diagonal of the pawn to the end of the board and that's the limit

@@guinapovocals you mean diagonal of the king? Its the same thing, you need to visualise the square, experienced players dont need to count but im telling the unexperienced players how to count it

@@Faust4541 I just watched this video confused as hell to realise its counting tiles

I agree but I can see why it would be confusing to someone who doesnt know what the rule is to begin with. They shouldve put in a little graphic explaining the rule although i suppose a simple google search is enough for the enterprising viewer

I agree. And not only that, the game he chose also provides a good example of why chess "rules" like the square can sometimes be ignored and still get a good result, as in the variation that he showed in which the white king could just ignore the past pawn and mate him faster than he could promote. As he says, there are no absolutes in chess, and this is why this is a very instructive tutorial

You mean it wasn't?

magnus christo

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you. This is much better then calculating. Makes sense

Rule of Magnus: If it comes to an endgame and if you don't get flagged, then Magnus will promote a pawn and checkmate you.

My opponents are complaining that I draw on the board too much! 😜

Now I get it why he said he'd calculated the moves every time for 20 years lol. Thank you for the explanation!

Just follow up the diagonal to the 8th rank

he should have drawn the square, then it would be clear... sqaure means at 6:31 a5 -> a1 -> e1 -> e5 -> a5. If the king is not inside the box he can not get the pawn.

He did say he didn't know it

I think what he meant to say was that he never believed in it 😂

@@bewatermyfriend7355 if the king cant enter the square with his move he wont be able to catch the pawn

@@bewatermyfriend7355 if the king cant enter the square with his move he wont be able to catch the pawn

A bit late of a reply but the rule of the square is an actual thing. Basically if say the white h pawn is on h5, that means it is 3 squares away from promotion. What you then do is imagine a line from the pawn going (in this case) 3 squares to the sides, then 3 squares up. This will make a square. If the king is inside this imaginary square it can stop the pawn from promoting. If it's outside it it can't

Like kasparov's masterclass promo 😂

And then you lose it right.
