Carlsen's Chess Is So Unique, It Leaves You Questioning Everything 

Many years ago there was this anonymous online player, who in every game advanced all his pawns to the third rank and then crushed his GM opponents. Many thought it was Fischer.

Yeah, it is clear that Magnus is the one player who thinks differently. He is the greatest by some margin historically. ALL other players talk about the evaluation bar in relation to human moves and computer rationale. Therefore, suggestions the computer makes, that are beyond human understanding currently, are dismissed as a separate entity to live chess. Magnus is clearly analysing the crazy methods employed by AI chess bots, identifying where humans will NOT see the deeper plays, and using the faulty rationale that AI chess is beyond us. Elements of it are not, and it appears to me that Magnus is the only who is actually evolving human chess as we watch in real time, by utilising these insane ideas that are being presented to us by superior technology. When you break it all down, Magnus thinks about it in a different way, unrestricted by limitations, exposed by AI engines. I enjoy watching Hikaru so so much and he is clearly the 2nd best chess player of all time, again by some margin from the rest. Some will compete effectively against him in bullet / blitz and some will handle him well in classic forms. But, few, if any, will stand toe to toe, over a sustained period, over both time formats. But Magnus is clearly a Jordan, Ali, Brady, Phelps breed of the game.... He is cut from that cloth, in his own field. What a wonderful time to be a chess fan. Ideas that go way over your head, and way out of range of your personal ability, but you can see the genius behind the display regardless.

D4 or E4 ARE GM LEVEL MOVE BUT ROOK PAWN MOVES ARE SUPER GM LEVEL. MAGNUS IS PLAYING BY INSTINCT .HIKARU FOUGHT VERY WELL BUT TO ME NOT LOSING AFTER THOSE FIRST 4MOVE IS ALMOST WINING. a6 Nc3 Na2 b4 LOOKS LIKE BIGGENER MOVE RATHER THAN WORLD CHAMPION'S LEVEL MOVE.PLAYED AGAINST ONE OF THE TOP CHESS PLAYER OF RECENT TIME. EVEN FISCHER MORPHY NEVER TRIED LIKE THIS. MAGNUS IS BRINGING LIFE TO CHESS LIKE NO OTHER .

@@BWOOHAHAHAAA i also have see those games you are taking about, i think it was fisher to who was try playing cuple of games after i very long breake. Even doh he hated chess, he was not immune to play cuple of games just for fun. It was Nigel Short who was his opponent.

“Many thought it was Fischer?” But what hard evidence is there of that, or was it all just speculation? Years ago…when Fischer was still alive (although psychotic and a social pariah), on-line chess was in its infancy, and many players easily cheated by using computers. It could have been anyone playing those games.

Of course, I would expect someone like Hikaru to go "toe-to-toe" with Magnus! Isn't Hikaru also one of the absolute strongest players in the world? And isn't Hikaru known especially for his prowess at speed chess? Yes, that's what Hikaru is especially known for!

I think Hikaru would consider this a lost opportunity to beat Magnus. They are almost the same strength. If Magnus plays a weird opening giving his opponent a big advantage, Hikaru should have won.

​@@pineapplesareyummy6352certainly should have

or maybe he's just a *REAAAAAALLY* smart сhеатег ?? ;]]

He also beat stockfish who has 3400 with white pieces.

It's more so that he's combined how the CPU plays with his own human ability. The greatest flaw in the CPU is that it lacks ingenuity. You can beat it if you know how to bait it, but it can't really bait you. So Magnus is currently an ideal synergy between human creative and calculation vs CPU calculation, the former filling in for where human ability fails to completely incorporate the latter.

@@blanktrigger8863 ya man i've seen him play totally sick moves that no one should ever play, and his eval was down, but he likes to play openings or ideas that throw his oppenents off guard. He can play normal chess or go into Magnus God mode and turn everyone into ashes, making them doubt the life choices they had made up to that point.

@@blanktrigger8863 also you gotta take into account Magnuses memory is just insane, and his ability to visualize the board without seeing a physical one, is also crazy. This has been proved many times.

No it isn't. Carlsen has a team of people look into weird openings and how to make them playable to take people off book because it's where he feels he has the best advantage. That isn't about pure raw instinct.

he's effortlessly funny, very enjoyable

Haha thanks very much for you enjoyed

Sorry, you probably meant best channel!

Agadmator is the daddy. This guy is doing really well though. Really enjoyable

I refuse to watch Gotham

I cracked up to that one😂😂😂❤

Silicon overlord. What does that mean. Please explain.

it's the chess computer evaluation ;-)

@@winbreit6111 When I google it, it doesn't show such a meaning.

He wins with a draw, and with an opening like that not losing is a win

@@JoshuaHults Fair

Thanks very much and glad you're enjoying! Cool you're in Nigeria, yeah I hear the population of Nigeria growing really fast so I guess I will be seeing a few more people in the comments from Nigeria in years to come

True haha glad you enjoyed!

haha thanks a lot, glad you're enjoying, cheers for watching

I don't think it is boredom as many suggest. I think it is the next level of human chess playing out and he is just finding his way, in an arena that no one else thought to enter. It is clear that Magnus is the one player who thinks differently. He is the greatest by some margin historically. Some of that may be down to fortune of era, so to speak. Hard to say Federer or Nadal are better than Bjorg and Mcenroe, based on the fact they never used graphite rackets or benefited from superior biological advancements in diet and training etc.. The same could be said for online chess and engines, so cant be clear on potential greatness, dependant on era and info available alone. However, no arguing that the chess these 2 beasts play, simply outmatches anything the real versions of previous greats displayed. ALL other players currently, talk about the evaluation bar in relation to human moves and computer rationale. Therefore, suggestions the computer makes, that are beyond human understanding currently, are dismissed as a separate entity to live chess and dismissed as unrealistic winning odds etc. Magnus is clearly analysing the crazy methods employed by AI chess bots, identifying where humans will NOT see the deeper plays, and using the faulty rationale that AI chess is beyond us to his benefit. Elements of it are not beyond use when used to trap humans in places they currently can't see., and it appears to me that Magnus is the only who is actually evolving human chess as we watch in real time. Mostly by utilising these insane ideas that are being presented to us by superior technology. When you break it all down, Magnus thinks about it in a different way, unrestricted by limitations, exposed by AI engines. I enjoy watching Hikaru so so much and he is clearly the 2nd best chess player of all time, again by some margin from the rest. Some will compete effectively against him in bullet / blitz and some will handle him well in classic forms. But, few, if any, will stand toe to toe, over a sustained period, over both time formats. With the exception of Magnus of course. i actually feel Hikaru is the one player capable of evolving alongside Magnus. But Magnus is clearly a Jordan, Ali, Brady, Phelps breed of the game.... He is cut from that cloth in his chosen field. What a wonderful time to be a chess fan. Ideas that go way over your head, and way out of range of your personal ability, but you can see the genius behind the display regardless.

None of the top players including Hikaru would name him the second best of all time. Several current players are better than him at both classical and rapid.

Thanks as always!

😆 yeah just having a bit of un with it, glad you enjoyed thanks a lot for watching

Looked ok to me but you’re right it’s not a good move!

The computer evaluation is fine.

Crazy opening play and so on!

Hikaru is just a memorizer, he has no talent
