How To Win When You're The Stronger Player 

Cool! I was crushed twice by Loek (pronounced like the English 'look', not as 'lok'), in a simultaneous exhibition. One hour later there was a Backgammon simultaneous exhib where Loek was one of the players. He always was a light hearted player with a good sense of humour when i met him.. And yes, i got crushed by Jeroen Piket and Jan Timman too (i was very young and he was about to retire)...

Are you the strongest because you are Magnus Carlsen, or are you Magnus Carlsen because you are the strongest?

Thanks for the explanations and particularly explaining the resign at the end.

At 9:39 another line is R-H2, the King has to move away from defending h3 to f3 or it is mate in two (RA2-f2, followed by rh2-g2 mate) then take h3.

Agadmator: 12:13 You will be able to continue to check the king for eternity .......or for 3-fold repetition occurs ! Einstein :- Finally someone who understands the concept of "Time dilation" in my theory of relativity

Loek is actually pronounced as “Look”. Often in Dutch the “oe” is pronounced as “oo”. Also Jan van Smeets was almost right, but Smeets should be pronounced as “Smates” (as in checkmate ;) ). Also, keep up the great content, I love it. Love from The Netherlands

Dutchman here. The oe in "Loek" is pronounced like the oo in "took". Just to help 😊

do appreciate the efforts u take making videos... Fan from India🇮🇳

Carlson reminds me of Army Ants, every second you are engaged with them they improve their position.

I don’t know about anyone else but rook/pawn endings do my head in at times. There are so many possibilities. Specially with a pair of rooks.

Thanks, man.

am I alone in this or does anyone else agree that it's almost more interesting to see games where someone beats Magnus rather than seeing games where Magnus steamrolls everyone else over and over and over and over again? Some variety please

Loek is a good pokerplayer as well.

good one

My man Magnus ❤️

Pre engine era Magnus was even more scary 🥶

You have to keep playing to allow ur opponent to make blunders Me [already getting nervous on move 5 😬]

As an Indonesian, I believe "Loek" is pronounced "Luk"

#suggestion hey Antonio, I know that the candidates is almost upon us but have you ever considered doing a series just like you did for Fischer but with Alekhine vs Capablanca of 1927? Would love to have those games covered by you. Thanks and keep up the great work! =)

This shows that Magnus like all world champions really build their chess strength after they are crowned champions....

#suggestion We demand more rapid game actions! Ideally like daily!

Will this show me how to beat 1500s? (I’m a 1964 who often struggles against 1500s)

From being an aggressive player to converting himself a mostly positional player was a great decision for carlsen

Where's your Rapid games? 🤗

At 3:11, why do you need 2 knights to protect the bishop? One is enough!

6.20: Rb4, not Rb3

I played against van Wely once, according to the engine I was winning on move 5 and then I promtly ended up getting crushed, because I am like 1600.

I noticed the "Capture Captures Women" left off the women. Unless it's "Captures captures " women sizes. That makes sense. But "Captures captures Women" works also. people say I take things too literally. . . among other things.

Endgame goat

Thank you for playing to checkmate! I love seeing those conclusions.

chess!

Now we see why it’s important to connect you rooks.

The strongest**

Magnus...

Sadly, this video will never be useful for me😢

I always wonder if Magnus washes or sanitizes that thing that he has under his eyebrows and up his nose... that little thing like a butt between his forehead and nose

FIRST

"How To Win When You're The Stronger Player" The title of this video indicates that it's entirely irrelevant to me. May I suggest the following video? "How to Win When You're a Blundering Fool"

He used to play much better 😭😭😭

Talk too much
