Entire Chess World In Meltdown Over Bizarre New Opening 

lolololololololol

That was amazing- actually laughed out loud

I actually laughed out loud at that comment.

I cringed.

​@@RandomGuyOnRU-vid601 Wow! You must be so cool! The life of the party! Do you have a best friend already? Pick me!!

Can't wait to see Gotham's video on this 😄

Magnus could have that same record if he playe 1. Nc3 ... 2. Nb1. lol

very conveniently ignored the 1 loss. 8.5 out of 11. The lost game against Paulius Pultine seems like the antidote to this opening. The bar just never picked up. It just went lower and lower right from the beginning till the end.

Where do you see it?

Considering how bad his positions were in all those games, that score is remarkable. He had atrocious positions every game. Completely losing. It's almost like he was trying to give his opponents extreme odds.

Why the fuck would anyone get banned for any legal move?? So stupid.

So he thinks Brandon really strong enough to rape naroditsky with this opening? it was not just sole lucky gam, Brandon shredded danya in big amount of games😂

Honestly there might be something to this theory

Exactly what I was thinking

Where else can you hear Charles Bronson dialogue from Telefon? Brilliant job covering the latest controversy!

Can you explain why that's not a hint that he thinks that player was unfairly banned?

Was the guy really cancelled for playing a4? Did the woke mob infiltrate chess too?

@@user-sw8vb2qo8y wokism: famously, the belief that old traditions should be upheld at the cost of anyone who doesn't fit in.

​@@kevinmathewson4272yawn

@@kevinmathewson4272 Not necessarily old, but _established_ traditions, yes.

Yeah makes sense. Also the tilt of losing to such a disgusting opening is a factor to consider.

He’s written an essay on Reddit saying this!

Also playing with 3 min on clock makes it work like a charm

Yeah and when we know we are winning specially like this then we feel that nerves or we get scared thinking he is a cheater or something

@@paulsontag9233He’s a redditor? Gross

Spot on my friend.

His score given the massive advantage all his opponents had is pretty amazing.

Btw The point is that Rf8 can be played in Kf5 line

Countless of players are better at that, Magnus is known for his great memorization of entire games, the chess/Magnus popularizing episode of 60 minutes claimed it was over 10,000 but it is much greater than that and it keeps on growing. Magnus is where he is at precisely because of that, if he were anywhere close to the best at thinking on his feet in chess he'd be 3000 OTB or at least 2900, because perfect chess memory plus perfect chess intelligence would make one virtually unbeatable.

@@AlwaysForgets but are they really so different? What does it mean to think on your feet? It means you mentally have to move pieces while retaining a perfect image of the board after each move. So that requires the use of memory anyway. This idea that memory is used ONLY to remember complex lines is silly, its used in both cases. And the better your memory is, the deeper you can "think on your feet" and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of various positions. I think he likes 960 because, often times you can get away with certain extremely well practiced lines, and be in such an advantage that you don't need to think on your own that much afterwards. And that's where chess is sort of being ruined. But its not a battle between memory and the ability to play spontaneously, unless you are in a bullet or rapid chess scenario, but it is honestly difficult to consider that real chess anyway.

​Working memory and long-term memory are very different things. ​@@radscorpion8

Lmao I used to play it too when I started out xd

The difference is every beginner that played it lost to someone slightly more experienced.

@@RobertJWaid any opening will lose to someone better

@Dc-kk9bd too funny 😄

I used to play this opening before I learned the names of any openings

Correcting for elo on the second bar might be good too.

If the best moves *were to be* played. FTFY. You can't use "if" and "would" in the same clause, unless it's something like "if you would like some coffee".

@@apokalypthoapokalypsys9573 OH! I beg a pardon, connected with a big thank you! ..were to be played sounds so much better. Now I'm curious: "WHEN the best moves would be played.'" - would THAT be correct English?

​@@armynyus9123 no; I believe "if" would be correct, because "when" implies an inevitable certainty, while "if" leaves the possibility for it not to occur.

@@CGoody564 got it, ty!

I think that was Magnus' point.

haha

😆

I want a link to that!

@@patrickmuller7334 Link: watch?v=qATl41Ofjuo The commentary part with Carlson begins at 16:50 minutes but maybe watch the entire thingy

White doesnt gain a tempo here though. Its still just one piece development ahead. And also, putting the knight on the edge is hardly advantage

yeah one of my favourite poems that

Oh cool fair enough haha

It’s not memorization of lines, but familiarity with structures that makes the opening so important. Knowing the themes and strategic angles of a position makes a GM able to get into and play the position more naturally and easily, without using time.

@@zaksmith1035 But it looks like many are spectacularily (for their level) bad in endgames

Comparing blitz games today with inevitable blunders with classical games played in the past is incredibly stupid.

Magnus obviously loves positions that challenge him, rather than rote memorization, or this game wouldn't happen. It was also a blitz game and somewhat of an exhibition by him. Classical vs classical, Magnus stacks up in beauty of positional chess with the best in history.

It's memorization, pattern recognition, some creativity and playing with the opponent's mind. A lot of people like to discount chess as "memorization", but thatn is just the groundwork the game is based on. At some point you have to choose to make weird moves to throw the game into unfamiliar territory for your opponent, like we see in this video.

Glad you enjoyed!

Haha yeah but I also stole that , that one from hikaru (fiancheeto) lol. I mean I borrow lots of phrases from all over 😁 and yeah agreed!

thats a different level of simping. He obviously missed the easiest mate in 1 with more than 1:30 left on the clock.

Haha thanks a lot much appreciated

Oh awesome thanks a lot appreciate the feedback!

Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed!

Will do thank you

@@epicchess2021 thanks man. You are really funny. Keep doing the good work!

William the Conqueror was the Duke of Normandy when he invaded England. He won against Harold Godwinson at Hastings.

unfortunately I have now clue about NHL so don't know what this is lol sorry

Thanks a lot appreciate it!

IKR. But I did guess correctly the move that black was going to make in that pivotal moment even though I knew white was going to win (thanks to the video title). I completely forgot about that white pawn which did take that rook, and obviously so did he.

I think it’s standard on the tournament they apply it to titled Tuesday not me

glad you enjoyed thanks for watching!

Na can play what you want haha

Would enjoy that

Glad you enjoyed it thanks!

Oh thanks lol
