Chess players should be the ones interviewing each other. They actually know what to ask. Just look at Carlsen here-how often to you see him enjoy talking about a game like this? They’re having a blast. I want more of these videos where the two players talk to each other about the game, for sure!
RaifNW i think it’s just the nature of the character type of chess players. They tend to be more introspective and careful of what they say. More so when nowadays any analysis they give can potentially be proven wrong by a computer.
Any analysis? Hardly. A computer does not know an opponent's mindset. Part of Chess is reading how impulsive your opponent is playing and what their likely moves are.
There's a valuable life-lesson on display here. The more competent you are at a complex, difficult activity or subject, the less certain you are of your performance. Only simpleton idiots are 'sure' they are right. So, beware when someone goes on and on about how they are an 'expert.'
Anyone who watches GM Peter Svidler's Banter Blitz shows knows that he's the real deal... this is vintage Pete! Carlsen is just enjoying Peter's passion and is grooving along.
Just a suggestion: Add a chess board in the top right corner showing Magnus and Svidler's perspective of the board. Would be very helpful for players like us to understand what they meant while moving the pieces. Thanks for hosting this tournament!
This was wonderful. I like both players and seeing them analyzing their amazing game that ended in a hard fought draw in totally new positions from an unusual opening was just an immense pleasure. Thanks!
It is great to find Magnus in a personable mood like this. I don't think he would do such a thing with every grandmaster. Svidler has a good record against him, and so Carlsen probably shows him a bit more respect than other grandmasters. I wonder if there is a similar video featuring Carlsen and Nakamura.
If you follow chess live, this kind of thing shows how utterly stupid 99% of the chat comments are. "waaah they missed x because the engine says...", shut up. They saw it all. ALL of it.
They see everything. We need to tell that chat the that are SUPER-GM's and they probably seen this position before in some random game that you wouldn't even bother to remember.
1:33 - Check out the hand movement, omg. / And the mutual respect of two competitors who have JUST exited the same fire. Still radiating heat, far from cooling down.
i watched the whole video and couldn't understand completely a single line of their thinking process, maybe i was distracted seeing how fast they move the pieces and go back organizing them before some plays...
tornado100able moving the pieces is actually more of an exercise to keep their hands active. They already have most of the positions played out in their minds which is why they often talk about things that are not even on the board. What could supplement this is if someone actually laid out the positions they’re analysing on a GUI so that we normal folk can follow them better.
When Svidler suddenly goes through all the lines in his head picking up a lot of pieces (somewhere bewteen 3rd and 4th minute) and Magnus is like yeah I see what you mean, you realize these guys are freaking monsters. I mean, I think mayyybe I could do stuff like that if it were my game, but nowhere near that quickly and that confidently.
Wow and I can't even remember what I played on move 2. Watching these guys talk about the game they just played, really shows they are the best in the world!
I love the subtle insecurity that every other player in the world feels when seated opposite Magnus. The same is true of the subtle dominance that Magnus imposes whenever seated at the board. I love paying attention in these analyses how reluctant Magnus' opponents are to suggest potential lines. Even though they're thd top 10 or 20 in the world they seem like they're afraid that Magnus will point out an obvious flaw and make them look silly. They always seem to be willing to hop on board with his suggestions, too. I think only Aronian and Caruana really pick Magnus's brain in these post-game analysez. Most anyone else seems like a puppy in the rain.
Interesting that Carlsen would consider Peter as part of his team for the preparation of this year's world championship. In all sincerity, Peter is a tremendous player, very solid, perhaps, not so much in the finals, but there, Magnus does not need help in the least. Also, if Carlsen has incorporated the madman of the IAN NEPO, how can he not consider this player that I consider to be far above in terms of technical level? Someday I'll ask the champion.
Love the face of the mic guy. I dunno if he's a GM, or has a good ELO or if he plays chess at all, but he's like... I wish I knew what these couple of monsters are talking about. Lol
So this is how chess keeps improving, the best players go through every possible move in a situation in a game against each other, adding ideas to the collective knowledge of all GM.... huh
I wonder how many of the top GMs would consider this discussion as interesting? someone has probably spent a couple of hours studying this video, and making several pages of notes.. ?
Manoj Kumar I don't know what he's referring to exactly, but what they said was not planned. Maybe the cameras and the mic was planned, but they had just finished the game, so they had nothing to plan for. This is regular talk for players after the game, it's just never recorded like this.
I don't even know how to play chess, but I appreciate the passion. I am very passionate about other stuff. Things you know. So I guess I am a level two genius like Elon Musk. If you are judging me just remember that French Fries sometimes come without salt.
Peter talks too much. (Although he's pretty good at it, as we all know) But when you have the world champ analysing a game with you, you leave him at least some room to express himself. Not ones during these 13 ' (maybe at 11:00) did Peter allow Magnus to get into a deeper line without interrupting. What a waist for Peter.
