I Beat Magnus Carlsen in Chess 960 

Yea there is no way this noop wins xD joking

Shanks he will still beat you in his sleep

hahahaHAAA

He was on xanax in a space shuttle accelerating away from the earth with 100g force

I thought his webcam fell over and he was fixing it.

Boorook Oobooma No Carlsen beat Eric once. It’s 2-1

Eric beat Nakamura once when Naka sacrifices a queen to avoid a draw. You can search for it on Eric’s channel.

@@icantthinkofaname5950 what's it called? Couldn't find it

Benji Ekern I typed Nakamura Rosen into RU-vid and it was the first result.

@@icantthinkofaname5950 Ah I'm such a moron, I was thinking of Eric Hansen for some reason lmao. Thanks!

Loool

Also "Kg6 I forgot about", as if it is theory.

YOU FORGET HOW POWERFUL ERIC IS.

The london system is described by the triangular formation of the pawns with the dark squared bishop out side the pawn chain. Its not an opening thats why its called a "system". The difference being is that opening tend to rely on specific order of moves to achieve a position where as a system doesnt care of the order as long as you get to the formation. So basically its still a london system even in 969 cause of the pawn formation and the bishop.

@@kenmendoza6932 thanks I was confused too

yo

lichess moment :D

Who cares

@@prajnapratimacharya719 ratio

@@prajnapratimacharya719 you commented so you cared 5 months ago.

If I ever see Carlsen real life in any way, my reaction would not be that

100% *

I saw it yesterday on stream, congrats :)

Che has a ? Next to his rating so i guess it was a provisional rating still if he doesnt play much 960 on that account.

Benjamin Mellor no, its his real bullet rating. It's provisional because he lost games

@@Joel-co3xl sheeeeeet. After watching ben finegolds videos yesterday "trashing" carlsen he really is on the slide haha. And losing to Eric? Oh no ha. ..and by trashing i mean he said hes not as good as he was last year and seems to get a little worse each year.

@@BenjaminJoeMellor based off two games??

hahahahaha true

he is actually back to the plus score

So what? Even i have a non negative score against both of them.

@@ojasdighe991 0 is indeed non-negative. Well done.

Not wanna brag or anything but Magnus never beat me at chess

lol imagine if he called magnus a noob that'd be quite funny

Lmao

lol

Lol

J Wiro bruh, I don’t care if he finished dead last. Beating Carlsen in any form of chess is damn impressive.

@@ImaginaryHuman072889 its 2-min chess 960 lol and he beaten him only because he gave him his Queen just lile that

Jakub bruh, I don’t care if it’s two minute chess 960 or classical chess. Beating Carlsen in any form of chess is damn impressive.

@@ImaginaryHuman072889 no its not

@@BerkayCeylan so? Its easy to make stupid mistake in 2min game even if youre best in the world, carlsen would probably win 95 out of 100 games against this guy though. One game means nothing

lolol

and in the other two games Magnus got confused in the opening. He blundered a queen and an exchange. That happens in chess960. Eric was the only one who out played him.

Good point, I saw the replay of the tournament and agree completely.

@@JJ-kl7eq I watched the ChessNetwork's video. Magnus is so good in fast time formats. I also liked the game against Gm Former_Player. Magnus was down a rock and made the game so complicated that he flaged him.

@@srt-fw8nh I meant that the game with GM Former_Player was exciting to watch. That wasn't one of Magnus good game. The other games Magnus was just better and eventually won. But if you play 2+1, time is a big factor. In my opinion flagging someone in bullet is a legit way of winning. You have to choose if you want to invest time for a better move and risk on losing on time or play fast.

You won with Magnus???? Wow!!! Great game!

Edenaviric Dry sense of humor 😆 Magnus does start with a psychological edge against most players. Peter Svidler played a blitz match to 5 points against Magnus a couple of days ago and before it began, he said he’d probably lose 5-0. It ended 5.5-.5. Given that I’d be taking screenshots of every move if I had the pairing, I wouldn’t survive the opening (plus being half his blitz rating!) Eric has such a pleasant demeanor and I enjoy his play and honesty. All of the other players enjoyed the advantage of Magnus playing on a touchpad but Eric was one of few to convert it. Well done.

Imagine telling Magnus fucking Carlsen "Good try."

That's so me dud

I think there's Vishy and Wesley!

This is also something Carlsen is good at. Random positions out of theory where he can exploit his opponents so I agree with you.

I think the time was the main factor, Carlsen started blundering when low on time, maybe he was on mobile, maybe just not that comfortable with blitzing premoves this time.

Rude_i_Wredne nah he’s just trash lmao

Rude_i_Wredne the dude was tyring to trick eric by that move because both are low on time if eric didn't notice for the same reasons magnus would've won the game

yeah it just negates opening prep

He had the move qh7 so not exactly a mate

@@aryashetty3924 you meant Qg7. After 54. Re8 Kf2 55. Qe3 is mate. After Rg7 Re8 is mate. With time this is a easy mating pattern. In the video you see that Eric isn't really happy with his move. But Re7 is with practically view the best move. He doesn't lose on time and is just winning. He is up a piece, a pawn and has the attac. His rock is protected two times and no crazy not existing tactics can make you lose a piece

Yeah Eric almost premoved Qxf1 ☺

Seriously! Psychic much?

Vikram Srinivasan All true, but if he were God he’d give Magnus rook odds.

yup

Eric > Magnus confirmed

Eric new World Champion

@@jamesteow36 Rosen too strong, too fast

@@aqshelraditya3677 Wait a minute, I know that reference!

Same here!!

Here as well.

Was that an attempt to get Eric to flag?

​@@venum17 I would say to gain Eric's queen, since Eric was up a horse. People in bullet usually reacts to a check by moving the king, but his queen was undefended. Eric anticipated that trick, if it worked it would turn the tables.

@@gastonuwu5313 hey thanks for the analysis 😁

Exactly!

hippo potamus He played the Linden (NJ) Opening.

the truth hurts.

Terrible

He did though

Almost; not yet. 5:38 Instead of Rbg8, Ng3+ is indeed better :D

I screamed out loud and ran to comment on Eric's last video to ask him if he had the game on camera.

I figured that was the case, but I can't figure out what the trick was meant to be.... was there some premove he was hoping for?

@@MrCheeze he checked the king with the queen. He was hoping Eric would move the king (counting on that he wouldn’t expect Magnus to leave his queen hanging). If he moved the king, he would pick up a queen. It’s such a dirty strategy for this time format and I’m pretty sure it works a lot with one second on the clock.

@@johnprice3341 Oh yeah, that makes sense. Eric's the wrong guy to try to play tricks against, though!

@@MrCheeze it’s really crazy how he saw it before Magnus even made that move. I guess you learn when you play a lot of bullet

Incorrect

The salty one aka the man in a van aka the doctor... drunk *ejem* nykterstein... Carlsen

@@thelordananas1741 haha as expected 😂

Not quite. The king can escape in time and white is better.. 1...Ng3+ 2.hxg3 fxg3 3. Rgc1 Qg5 4. Kg1 Qh5 (or Qh4) 5. Kf1 Qh1 6. Ke2 Qxg2+ 7. Kd3.

hoping he would just move his king and not capture with a queen.
