@@DarthVader-wk9sd Vader, you’re 100% right; I think we all know that kids are developing very fast nowadays. But I think you missed my point about the *beauty* of Carlsen’s play. Beauty.

[@movieman6456]

[@emranahmed5711]

Young Magnus was very aggressive but when he was growing up he converted his playing style into mostly positional to win more games at higher level.

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

Exactly. A strategy of minimizing the potential to lose. Either win or draw. Not as fun to watch. But effective for sure.

[@user-zp7mu9vc9n]

I did nort enjoy magnus games ,too materialistic not even giving up a pawn and no exchange sacrifices only goes for queen trades which makes me boring,

[@Safwan.Hossain]

@@user-zp7mu9vc9n you haven't seen his good games then he's had tons of games with pawn sacrifices. the difference these days is nobody captures his pawns out of fear

[@drewishgaminginc.3942]

​@user-zp7mu9vc9n that's why he ended up being the world champion for like 11 years before he gave it up...didn't even lose the title he just gave it away

For a few seconds I thought Agad is messing with me as usual when the queen sacrifice came out of nowhere

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Yeah I kind of asked myself what is this and how ? Pretty ingenious I didn’t connect the dots until I saw the Rook follow-up

[@FloydMaxwell]

Spectacular at any age. Unbelievable for an 11-year-old.

[@joshuatimajo4249]

Whats crazy about that Queen sacrifice is the uncertainty in the endgame. I saw Qxa7, Rb8 and Qxb8 but I wont pursue the line since I am not confident I can hold the two queen pawns. I underestimate the activity of the rook. Brilliant display of creativity from Magnus Carlsen

[@chessassasin3135]

Just because of you .. I have improved my game from 1200 to 1800 by learning how to calculate positions and studying the opening variations in 1.5 year.....

[@williamsekani754]

His explanations are very spectacular

[@trafyknits9222]

In the documentary "Magnus", MC says he "just sees the right move". Sort of like Michelangelo saying, "I just see what parts of the marble need to be removed to make the sculpture".

[@orionspur]

Wow... That escalated quickly.

[@peterkang6677]

"young magnus is going to show you how to defend the pawn" Great, this is the reason I always play the exchange variation, maybe I can try playing the main line now "and he gives it up" oh

[@kostkacukru1776]

Magnus is really a fascinating person... Whether you like him or not, you must agree, that his chess style is priceless... Such a wonderful game. Not many players could find such a sneaky and good idea, what an insane insight of board and position... Nowadays he plays more carefully and also he wents for positions, which are not that hard for him to play, but from time to time, he can still sacrifice everything for attack. He just likes chess a lot and you can see it in his style of play.

[@brukujinbrokujin7802]

Young magnus is better. He is strong and play interesting moves. Nowadays he play boring engine move 99% of the time.

By definition that would make him better now

I watch this every few weeks or so, I never get tired of young magnus' brilliance!

[@peterhaslund]

I remember seeing a magnus game in the paper newspaper, and he was like 9 or something and it blew my mind because of its unpredictability. I had no idea what he was doing and I was following chess in those days. Little did I suspect his imminent take-off towards the pantheon of chess. I mean, after all he was norwegian

Re your Palestinian flag profile picture and re Alireza 1 - Before Alireza's farming, when has there ever been a legal immoral act IN CHESS/SPORTS? - Next: dirty flag, quick draws or London system is immoral. Also autosniper in cs2 / csgo. Lol. - (Well maybe keyboard extensions or farmbitrage - both in lichess.) - Before, players WERE allowed to write move before playing. Bobby Fischer did this vs I think Mikhail Tal, so what, Bobby cheated Mikhail? Lol. 2 - How can someone be against Alireza's LEGAL farming but not outright ILLEGAL cheating of Magnus, Garry & Hikaru? Sounds to me more like they hate whichever is more known. I bet they don't even know when Magnus, Garry & Hikaru cheated.

The c8 square was a problem in this game which Magnus capitalized on, just as the piece that starts on c8 is always a problem for black in this defence.

@@divyanshugupta5331 It's a 3rd world country that isn't so known for chess besides Eugene Torre, Bobby Fischer's friends in the Philippines & Bobby Fischer's future adoptive nephew by Lotis Key (whoever that nobody nephew is).

@@divyanshugupta5331 Maybe it will be Bobby Fischer's hand of fate guiding h adoptive nephew and successor of Eugene Torre as top Philippine-born player to beat Garry Kasparov's successor as - the top classical player and - the top classical player who is a cheater?

I was able to solve the "pause the video" moment in 11 seconds to be honest, I was looking for weird ways to sacrifice some material and then suddenly Rxa7 rang a bell, I am proud of myself.

[@carltaft3016]

Nice video and excellent pronunciation of the word Other just a bit after the 7 minute mark ... The TH pronunciations for the words other, another and rather can be difficult if/when English is a secondary/more language.. Nice 👍🙂

[@samkdj]

Wonderfull

[@adamlea6339]

I did spot the queen sacrifice but didn't calculate all the continuations. I just saw the vulnerability of the queenside pieces and the king to a back rank check and that Qxa7 screws up the coordination of the black pieces sufficiently to threaten significant material gain.

[@MegaSale89]

Love these games especially players with around 2000 rating. Still phenomenal moves but a bit easier to understand from a perspective of noob like myself. At the highest level, these guys are just playing like computers even beyond their preparation. For most people very hard to understand some of those moves. Great video!
