Magnus MEGA TROLLING Vladimir Kramnik 

Kramnik is that annoying friend that gets outplayed in a videogame and automatically resorts to the enemy cheating

Magnus played disquastungly well here.

The fact magnus ran his clock down was just just gangster haha.. then plays h6 haha

"Magnus is kinda better than you, not by a lot, but enough" Thank you Levy

Magnus is so powerful that he willingly nerfs himself and still absolutely dominates while making it look easy 😂 you love to see it

I love that Magnus can just Troll Kramnik, it fills my heart with joy.

Kramnik should start a new chess tournament called tilted tuesdays

One thing that I love about Magnus is the fact that he's so amazing that he can play anything he wants, chess can be boring sometimes, but the way he shakes things up with his devious moves is indeed a sight to behold, he brings life to the game and, better yet: he has fun playing

Magnus is kind to include Hikaru and Kramnik in Levy's videos

Its so good to see that Magnus has collaborated with Levy to commentate all his games for him

Kramnik: Gónna pútt thê blãme in my tîme. Magnus: Not today old man.

I think Kramnik should really sit down and think about the fact that Magnus can beat all these supposed cheaters while playing openings like that. Like really think is it more likely that cheaters lose with obvious winning positions or maybe he fell off and people are just better than him now

Still 41 seconds left for Magnus? That’s an eternity.

I found out in Xmas that my 8 yo son is a fan of Gotham also :). He knows I like chess and suggested to get "how to win at chess" as a present for me. I bought it for both of us. It was a magical moment!!

Interesting how Kramnik was totally outclassed by a garbage opening but will always be remembered for his “anti cheating” crusade.

If Hikaru's opening is called the "Bong Cloud", Magnus should call this one the "Vape Pen".

Hikaru be like hold my cup 😂😂😂

In Hikaru’s covering of this game, he showed that magnus chose this opening to echo one of hikaru’s openings done recently

damn levy fully dripped out in that gucci fit

How would Magnus cheat if he doesn't even use more than 1 sec for a move😂

11:41 he doesn’t castle because he’s still considering playing h4, h5, h6 and using the rook on the h file. In these types of structures the king is actually quite safe on e1 or f1. Edit: I swear I made this comment before I saw that Magnus actually started attacking with his h pawn.

"And instead of playing F5, Magnus plays...F5" lol

It's actually quite disheartening to see this unravel. I remember my grandfather was a huge chess fan, starting to play and watch WCC at around 1991. His favorite player wasn't Kasparov (it was Tal), but he actually rooted for Kramnik to dethrone Kasparov in 2000. I guess he got tired of Kasparov beating everyone and switched to the underdog. He embraced some of his play style quirks (adapted mainly d4, c4 lines). To see a man that beat a chess legend, regressing to an infant child-like behavior simply because he isn't as good at chess as he was at the beginning of 2000's is just numb. Hopefully he embraces the fact that no man can be at top of his chess shape forever, even Kasparov wore off as time went by 90's, but did he act like this? Obviously not, because the man has manners and ego in line according to his IQ. Hopefully Kramnik changes not because I want him to but because I would like my grandpa to be proud in heaven by supporting this guy when he was still alive.

Gotta love Magnus, standing up for Levy in his fight against Kramnik. Magnus is such a nice dude.

Now I'm wondering if you could somehow make Stockfish and similar engines troll human players by starting with terrible openings and still winning.

It could be that Magnus didn't castle in honor of Vladimir's famous invention, no castling chess, one can read about it in wikipedia; tldr motivation behind it is that castling makes chess boring and increases the percentage of draws tremendously

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND THANK FOR THE CONSISTENT VIDEOS 🎉

It's insane looking at the end game how much better Magnus developed his pieces in half as much time... Kramnik was exactly where Magnus wanted him, and he didn't realize it until he was already mated.

09:56 "Because he (Magnus) is kinda better than you. Not by a lot but....enough". The biggest understatement in Chess history 🙂

How to beat Magnus in 4 steps. Works 99% of the time: Step 1: find a bed. Step 2: Lie down into the bed. Step 3: Fall asleep. Step 4: Keep dreaming.

"okay lets do the procedure"

Fantastic recap. Hilarious and educational 😎👍🙏

Rocking the Gucci. Make that money bro

Magnus is the type of guy to disrespect someone so hard they call cheats

Kramnik found Magnus’ trolling very interesting

I crushed sleeping Magnus, I think I'm ready for Titled Tuesday!

My bro levy rocking gucci sweat damnn g

OMG that Rh4 move is gorgeous

I love your breakdowns.

At 9:00 Magnus opening is easy to remember. Pawns take the shape of M🔥

Magnus levels the playing field (on time), then proceeds to blitz out moves. Pretty much dispelling any possibility of a cheating accusation. Absolute legend!

3:06 this was hilarious 😂😆

that was fantastic! nice work, Gotham Chess

"I had a little bit too much Vodka" - Vladimir Kramnik

Magnus is just trolling everybody at this point he’s just the 🐐🐐🐐🐐

Inhuman, Magnus the only one to completely humiliate gm’s like they are 400 elo Oscar’s

It's not an airport, Kramnik, no need to announce your departure.

you are so fun to watch, i feel i understand more in chess after watching you comment and explain. :)

i saw the f5 and e4 combo possiblity the second magnus moved the rook up, and i just wanna say, thank you levy for making me interested enough in chess to get good enough to see that

It's almost like Magnus knows he's going to end up in a Gotham recap

That time slip was like the scene when Aquiles in Troy says that rock won't take the glory from me

that rook left by magnus was pure symphony ....and the opening was savage ..

if agadmator or gotham covered a game first, i usually didn't watch it a second time. Now I'm watching the same games twice. I like that each channel focuses on slightly different things in the game and a few different positions in the same game get highlights. Very nice for a better understanding of a single game

Levy never fails to appear on Magnus' videos

Again seeing levy in magnus video . That gr8 of magnus for showing levy ao many times!

9:57 seriously 😅😅😅😅 NOT BY A LOT😂😂😂

My boy Levi with that GG drip

Magnus never fails to be in Levy's videos

Love how Levy says „ very,very interesting“

Bro said crooks

Levy never fails to make it interesting!

Levy should pay Magnus for every Thumbnail with his Face

there is no humiliation, this opening is feasible

"You know the procedure." xD

Can you do an episode of just reviewing Kramnik games where he's claiming everybody is cheating? I would love to analyze all of his blunders while he's claiming opponent cheating every move.

I was reading your book at my parents house and one of my nephews recognized it and got excited. So .. I gave away the BOOOOOK!! Now I need to order another copy ;).

looool, "...or maybe I'm just alergic to Magnuses oppenings" 🤣

been waiting for this video

Levy hitting me with the Levy stare 0:00

I thing Magnus can play what he want and he win! Incredible!!!!

Kramnik be shouting at the ceiling after this game

I knew you uploaded this yesterday, was so high I thought I was trippin

Can we give kramnik a winning streak and then accuse him of cheating cos I would love to see his response to this kind of thing

Kramnik didn't forget it was his move, but simply showed up 1:20 minutes too late. Magnus then followd suit, so as not to give Kramnik an excuse, and also spent 1:20 on his ...h6 move. And then proceded to obliterate Kramnik.

Levy in the GUCCI DRIP?!?!

Love chest drama

Magnus:farts Levy:I'm gonna make fortune on this!

Gotham never disappoints 😂👍

Kramnik exudes "lil brother" energy

This way we appreciate every brilliancy Magnus invents and he is motivated more and the invested energy is not in vain.

Already saw Hikaru's video on this but wanted to watch it again anyway because it's hilarious. I can only imagine what Kramnik was thinking during this game.

Levy's 2024 new year's resolution should be to not make a single Magnus video 😂

Waiting for Levy to say “get outa here” has become instinctive now

Mr. Carlsen's opening choices, like the typically considered worst moves, and then winning with them, is really what I wanted to see in chess; consequently saying that there is logical way to win no matter what opening.

This is not a "ridiculous opening", from Black's perspective this is a kan sicilian with bishop on c5 and pawns on h6 and d6, which is a valid opening

Magnus is hilarious!!

Levy never fails to copy Hikarus video titles

levy cut that awkward stare out😂😂

Kramnik is the antagonist of the story; he's not one of the protagonists.

Magnus saying to Kramnik : You are finished stop accusing my kids 😅

I think one of Levy's new year resolution was to look fresh cuz GOD DAYUM does he look good with that GG shirt

Magnus showing Kramnik respect by running down his time in one sense, and totally trolling him with the opening…. and ultimately playing an amazing game! as always, excellent content! Thank you Levy

Magnus is the type of person to play Queen's gambit on the edge of the board

Levy never feils

Clowning on Kramnik. That's just savage

Magnus: " I wont let the clock take my glory"

Stockfish learned to play chess from Magnus.

Magnus never fails to feature levy to his videos 💀

Levy rocking tha drip

I really liked the "he's kinda better then you, not by a lot but by enough" xdd
