5 Chess Habits Magnus Carlsen uses that Will Make You Stronger!

[@strangelyrepulsive77]

Carlsen himself disputes the statement he is great at endgames because they are usually winning from the start.

[@chessdawg]

Interesting take. That is no doubt true much of the time. But it also seems like a bit of false humility regarding his endgame skill as well.

[@vahikovanessian9356]

An instructive and interesting video. Thanks

[@banzaiburger]

Excellent video. I think the first habit (learning as many openings as possible) just depends on where you are in your chess development. I found that getting really good at a few openings worked out better than being just ok in many openings. Could be just my lazy nature.

[@tableken9143]

You are right agree with you

[@tensor131]

Pro's study each other's games so that strategy would give magnus an edge. Amateurs rarely know the pet openings of their opponents so no edge, indeed with limited skill it's a risky strategy unless you know All the opening traps to avoid.

Waldo taking notes. Nice share

Continue doing rhese short videos full of knowledge sir

14:53 why not go black king e3? and get black bishop to d5 and take on h2 ?... that way it would be 3 pawns vs king instead of just 2 ?.. the white pawn on b5 is 100% useless... and so is the white bishop.

[@Veaseify]

The White pawn on b5 isn't useless, it stops Blacks a pawn from moving, the White bishop isn't useless, it prevents the black h pawn from queening. That is why the winning method is to take the b pawn with the king because White can't control the threats on both sides of the board.

[@ahmadazab7853]

Really good video

[@chessdawg]

Thank you

[@pudugaikids8837]

Can you do a video on solving puzzles in puzzle rush survival

[@pudugaikids8837]

Also on how to implement puzzles in games

[@chessdawg]

I will check it out. I am considering a video on how to solve puzzles and how to calculate.

[@xtaf82]

@@pudugaikids8837 i think it’s just from general pattern recognition. In theory the tactics should just “pop out” at you, or at least appear more prominently, as you solve more puzzles/tactics and ingrain the patterns into your mind. The tactical patterns really got ingrained into me after doing the Woodpecker Method

Great man

[@cryptonite8495]

Carlsen's Habit #3, playing Anti-Computer Chess, doesn't only make it difficult for his opponents to prepare. It also throws commentators for a loop. How often has an analyst (present company excepted) declared Magnus has blundered after the anakyst's engine put up a ?? and Magnus went on to win? Neither Stiockfish nor the analyst understood what Magnus was thinking, though the analyst (if he was a serious grandmaster and not an aspiring comedian) might have been able to suss it out with his human intuition if he'd tried. I certainly couldn't, but someone like Naroditsky or Hikaru or Fabi might.

White kept his pawn idle

[@wellutopia2237]

I feel my passion being drained away for chess. My live list is 🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫

[@wellutopia2237]

I get up to 1500-1600 then get beat down to 1300. I dont even feel like playing most days anymore.

[@wellutopia2237]

Cheat detection is absolutely non existent. I got a 5 year old account banned the other day. Like how can they survive that long. Are you kiddding me?

[@hanizare2245]

you the best.

Camera angle is too low and nose is too hight.

Magnus The Great!

[@jeffersonthomas1269]

Please reconsider this video. Well done in theory. yet there are many examples here of inaccurate statements and excessive babble that could be reconsidered. e.g. 11:16 hold a draw? not a prayer. Plus you usually do not talk us to death but rather provide very good chess schooling. Here you wanted to force fit things to your goals. Mostly accurate but ??? I am saying this is not as good as most of your work. I teach children chess and this video would not make my list of videos to watch when most of yours are saved to the chess school file on my computer. GBYAY.
