I was stuck behind the glorious, anti-Google firewall for months (it’s a great achievement of the Chinese government, always doing what’s best for its citizens) and the best thing about being on the sinful, excessive, Western-dominated side of that wall is watching Epic Chess videos to learn about the secret behaviors of top chess players. I already knew they made woooshing noises when they moved their bishops 4+ squares at a time, but now I know that Marlsen sometimes makes gobble gobble noises when he captures pieces. I plan to incorporate this tactic into my own game and I can already picture my opponents cowering in fear when I do. Great stuff.
After so watching so many of Magnus’s exploits on this channel, I felt compelled to celebrate his majesty in some way. So I carved a 3 foot wooden statue of him; with one arm raised up with a fist on the end. Then I placed it next to the front door of my house. Now whenever someone stops by for a visit, before they’re allowed inside I insist that they first give it a fist bump. If only you could see the look on their face when they do so! It’s quite clear that even the people who don’t play chess can FEEL his power.
I'm so bored with these tedious commentaries ''Cagnus Marlson, prawns, ladies, ponies'' - really? Isn't this adolescent crap to hide the fact that you offer very little analysis? Unsubscribing.
Simply too many top comments ….”become a grandmaster…..results may vary !”…..”the world chess committee!”…..waiting for some reference to England’s performance!
I really appreciate the lines you pre-drew for the analysis. they aren't on a whim or occasional like most other channels, and they aren't impossible to interpret hikaru schizo tier lines either. They help a lot for a 600 like me to be able to understand 2400 level intentions without spending minutes explaining every single move. the video flows really nicely as a result.
Carleen is greatness, but this is an over-sell. … You mean the “brilliant trap” which Carlson missed a few move earlier. Just a good win, not brilliant chess
Would be really cool if more people used reason and logic. But at least I can watch chess videos as the mob crawls closer with their democratic intentions.
As a Star Trek fan, I must protest. No captain in the history of the Federation ever said "warp speed 10". The "speed" aspect is tacit. But by the way, I've noticed your headlines are making more sense and less clickbaity, so kudos. Love this channel, mate. It's a real chess of fresh air. Keepee up.
That could work but na meant Lufthansa haha , because we normally say give the king some ‘luft’ but I thought I’d turn that into the airline for some fun 😁
The best player of all time missed mate in 3 with Rb8+. Yeah. I saw it instantly and my highest rating was 212 BCF in 1971. I think you over-rate Carlsen. He's an excellent player, but I wouldn't rate him the best of all time.
@@maheshdawani Firstly, it's Fischer, not Fisher, and secondly - no he was NOT over-rated. Give me another player who has won 20 consecutive games against top level grandmasters. Don't bother - you can't.
@@MrHistorian123 Magnus went undefeated for 125 classical tournament games, the longest undefeated streak ever. Those 125 opponents averaged ELO 2745, giving Magnus ELO 2882. Fischer might have.... except he didn't.
@@jeffcarty3292 Fischer's peak rating of 2785 was 95 above the second player (world champion Boris Spassky). Carlsen's rating is nowhere near that dominant (currently 25 ahead of Caruana who is second) and all ratings have inflated massively since 1972. A rating of 2690 would put Spassky 37th in the world now.
@@MrHistorian123who has the highest peak rating kid??who is more dominant???It is magnus, don't embarrassing yourself by comparing fischer to the level of GOAT,literally 2785 is not even close to 2881,magnus literally eat players like 2785 in breakfast
