1372 Rated Player Plays Queen's Gambit Against World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen! 

You can subscribe to our channel to see our new Banter Blitz video :)

Whenever I click on a video like this I'm always surprised how literally the best player in the world volunteers his time to give us a free lesson with such instructive explanations

Guy brings a knife. Magnus initiates a full nuclear exchange.

the guy remembered, "oh yeah, i'm a junior player and i haven't blundered my queen yet..."

Magnus is very humble, I like that he was nice with his opponent despite being lower rated

“Queen’s Gambit” happens at 5:13

Magnus systematically destroyed his opponent, but at the end, he complemented their good work for their level and instructed on a simple thing or two they could have improved. I felt like I learned something. Excellent video!

He actually played pretty well for someone who is 1372 and playing against the world champion

I just love how he takes a 1372 player seriously, just explaining his moves without trash talk. Of course, I love him trash talking if it's warranted (e.g., against Giri ;)) But to show this kind of respect to a weaker player is very inspiring.

Qc1 and could hear softly Baka mitai 🎵

Is it me or magnus looks younger?

What I learned from this game: 1. Tempo is so important. Magnus' A and B pawns had tempo and owned the right side of the board. 2. Rerouting the knight. Many players don't like spending many moves on the knight. The World Champ however, taught us to envision the knight on good squares and getting it there. 3. That B5 square, a weakness after the A pawn goes to A5, was never exploited by white. (Something to think about the next time) 4. Magnus' 2 knights support each other. The light sq bishop damaged the white's pawn structure, and the dark sq bishop, after serving its mission on H2, trades off with White's most active piece (dark sq bishop). Great stuff to learn.

When the titles mean queens gambit it isn't about queen's pawn, but the queen itself. This is Botez Gambit in disguise

Good lesson from the world champ on this line of queen's gambit. We all appreciate this. Thumbs up to you big boy👍

After watching Beth Harmon;

"Not at all a bad game from my opponent"...except when he sacked his queen for no reason lol.

I love hearing his thought process during these games. Magnus just seems like a guy you could have a beer and a few laughs with.

He won? Wow that's unexpected

3:20 i'll just castle moment

when you just finished watching the queen's gambit

A knight placed on the rim indicates a bad position... Uhh Uhh, MVL chuckles in the background 🥺

Magnus was way more pedagogical than usual. Very nice from him.

Chess24.5, these games are great because Magnus is doing the explanations, keep up the good work.

That 1300 would wax me lol

that was surprisingly educative for carlsen standards.

Very instructive commentary in this game (about the knight tactic for example and since it's actually demonstrated later in the game why it can get locked up otherwise). Thanks Magnus

That's great analysis by the Champion of the World, especially being just shy of 30. Magz has qualities that are worth more then being just one of the greatest chess players of all time. MAGZ has PERSONALITY AND STYLE, while representing what is right.

Magnus is such a gentleman! I'm happy to have a world champion like him.

At 3:14 couldn't white play pawn f4. If the bishop takes then white bishop takes and then if the queen takes, the white queen can take A8 check

Magnus was just being humble about not knowing George Shakal, because actually he has memorized the names and backgrounds of every chess player in the world.

The opponent played Queen's gambit and at the end of the match he just realized its not a Queen's gambit if you don't gambit your queen

He is really good at explaining..would love more videos like this

Yeah, it's easy to talk like that when you're the game. No, when you're the rules. No i. MEAN when you make the rules!

This guy played way better than 1372 I think.

"Unknown to me who that is" I wonder why LMAO

Love how he tells us (and his opponent) what he's going to do next...and it makes no difference whatsoever. He still crushes his opponent.

Another impressive win by Magnus, proving why he is world champion 💪💪💪

Queen trade? Magnus: "nope"

Is this the world champion? He's so nice we could be buddies

Are these like livestreams or something i can watch live?

Omg,Magnus' instructional skills have significantly got better. It is a joy to watch.

imagine losing rating to the best chess player in the world.

These are actually very instructive.

and you tell me to believe that the thumbnail is Magnus

0:07 Premium? not a problem I will play with your bot.

Definitly more higher rated than 1300

Very nice stream this one. No bullshit, just plain instructive.

You have to be really good player when you know The Queen's Gambit will be on 2 seconds BEFORE the 2. c4 is played. Hmm .. intuition ;)

A knight on the rim is dim.

This Magnus guy is pretty decent. He should go pro.

I don't understand the exclamation point in the title. Is there something odd about playing the Queen's Gambit? It's a pretty standard opening, isn't it?

what's up with Magnus getting a rating point for defeating a 1372 rated player!?!?? :0

Magnus He should play charity games not just premium members one in a while.

He played the Queen's gambit and the Botez gambit, so...

"Unknown to me"

4:10 chess champion could have trapped the queen by moving the rook to c8

I do not understand why the game was over that way, what happend?

OMG what a nice name of his opponent Shakal . Its like villian name in bollywood cinema 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Recreation of Tal's Queen Sacrifice.

Lol he says it's pretty much a mopping up.job

Hi I'm Magnus Carlsen and for almost 6 minutes you can pretend to be me and... "that's a... that's a free queen." That's all folks.

Push the pawn at 1:30?

He just pulled a pistol on guy with a missile launcher.

Why didn't Magnus play Qd5 to protect the c4 pawn?

Wow ! He outplayed opponent and told him his mistakes . What a humble guy!!!

more like a queen's gambit turned into botez gambit at the end there.

bruh im a sweed ranked 1386 and main the queens gambit

Well not for long. Gongratulations for Mr Deutch!

I don't understand. On the first match; Magnus's rate is 1000 and on the next match his rate is 3200!

Thats a free queen 😂😂😂

Great Magnus

Why does Magnus Carlsen like Muggsy Bogues?

Rooting always for wesley. But magnus is quite respectable..

Was there a delay on the stream or were the players allowed to listen in?

1:25 b3 traps the knight no?

How did he know it it was a queens gambit before it was queens gambit

5:02 how about knight h5 queen g5 knight f4 queen h4 check mate

That's a free queen. Typical mistake of 1300+ 😆

I love how Magnus can clearly explain his ideas so that anyone can understand, while Hikaru's explanations on the other hand are more often than not incomprehensible for the avarage viewer.

And you are world champion

How did he know he was playing the Queen's Gambit before he moved the c pawn?

He played this knight a2 to take a rook after rook takes queen, then he resigns, I don't understand, why did he resign, knight had free rook on c1 or do I miss something?

It could be far worse if a low rated played Bongloud... Magzy won't take that as compliment.

What app?

And to think Magnus was once a bad player

So you could actually play with the world champion?

How to play magnus carlsen?

is it me or the guy was obviously using an engine (weak one btw) up to the last move?

Noteboom concept

I will only accept requests of premium members this hearts me

Not at all a bad game by his opponent??? lmao

Сейчас бы ещё какой-то Шакал обыграл чемпиона мира

chess24,5 is the best

Botez Gambit.

No related chess question, any body know what Magnus drives?

Ay seni şakal

I dont understand blacks moves, why does he leave his N on a2?

one of us

Super English! Much much better than the English-speaking natives!!! 😂💦💦💦💦💦

1300 playing the world champion and loses rating lol
